The last paragraph has a train wreck of two ideas smashed into one sentence and nobody has commented on this. Makes you wonder who reads the articles and who skims the articles.
Before getting too concerned about the power usage of blockchain technology, go look at how much power generated in the USA is thrown away (rejected energy)
I don't like where the world is heading either, but let's get real:
JP Morgan is on board, now advising their investors to join in (and the bank behind Coinbase)
Fidelity is on board
Morgan Stanley is on board
Visa, MasterCard
AMEX has been using crypto to get best possible currency exchange rates for a couple years
Coinbase has a healthy relationship with the SEC and is about to get their banking charter approved for their own direct FDIC insurance, as well as IPO soon
Same monitor. The workaround is to put the monitor on a power strip you can trigger when you walk up to it. Hard power off/on of this monitor and it instantly displays for me now.
The number of people commenting who completely misunderstand Bitcoin and crypto is astounding.
Bitcoin will never be used directly for payments, it's a value store. Immutable deflationary digital gold.
I wrote it off for years too because it was too slow and the fees were too expensive. That was the dream they had, but they couldn't realize it at the base layer. I was still walking around last year believing that's the scam they were still peddling, but once you take time to investigate you'll see it will become a major part of the world economy.
COVID helped push this over as bailouts and printing money in the US and the ECB is going to drive a massive movement of money out of the markets and fiat.
Normally you'd see momentum go to bonds when the stocks burst but the bonds situation is unsalvagable.
Also expect a ton of movement to crypto when wealth taxes get implemented to fix economies. They'll use it to hide assets, guaranteed. Form an LLC, siphon the money out that way and into crypto.
> Funny is this argument always exclusively pops up when it comes to Apple smartphones. Are we supposed to lock every desktop down too because mom and pop installed a wrong toolbar?
Yeah I really wish we could... how many human hours have been wasted cleaning up infected garbage on friends and family desktop computers?
BIND has supported dynamic zones for like 15 years. Declare the zone dynamic, generate a key, apply the key to the zone as authorized to make changes, and then use nsupdate command to make changes
OpenBSD kept making snide remarks at FreeBSD for not keeping the pf codebase in sync. FreeBSD also didn't import the newest version the last time they synced because a slightly older version was faster.
Then FreeBSD hard forked pf and made it multithreaded.
Now FreeBSD's pf is the fastest implementation of pf but is missing the latest features/syntax and may have some bugs that were already fixed.
Meanwhile IPFW is still faster than pf anyway, so I don't know why people even care.
