Offline wallets aren't secure unless they're running on fully self-contained hardware. Offline doesn't protect against keyloggers and malware. If it's not a hardware wallet you've potentially already been owned and there's no way to know until its too late.
If your bitcoins aren't in something like Trezor you may already be hacked.
I hear value conflated with price in this discussion and most discussions related to economics.
Value is a completely subjective thing and does not dictate price (or necessarily influence it). Bitcoin's price says nothing about its value and vice-versa.
Get more done without distractions: Ditch "productivity" software and just use a calendar and a list of monthly, yearly goals. It doesn't require a browser and 2+ GB of memory! It won't shutdown one day, and the best part is there's no ads... notifications... stickers... emojis... easter eggs... or whatever else is considered "productive" these days.
People warned us. They told us so. Instead of building decentralized tools that protected and empowered user data we've spent the last 20 15 years uploading our entire lives to Google and Facebook.
The web has really regressed in the last 20 years. It used to be as simple as writing a markdown document is today. People even made pages using visual point-and-click editors known as WYSIWYG. Pages loaded fast, without ads, and everything was free and non-commercial. Putting a website up wasn't about promoting some tool (like Hugo, or React, or whatever). People also hosted from their own machines, instead of walled gardens like GitHub.
It's depressing to think about all we've lost and how little we've actually gained.
Great. Now we could structure the text with a markup language and syndicate it. Anyone could consume these syndicated feeds using a variety of free apps. We could even standardize this and call it... RSS :)
You're correct. It performs terribly. On my 2016 macbook it takes 20.48 seconds just to load the interface from refresh according to Firefox devtools. Yes, a lot of this is network traffic. It's still terrible for a chat app. I have PS4 games that start in 20 seconds.
Let's be clear: Filecoin has no working product. THERE IS NO FILECOIN. $200 million for literally no working demo. We might as well turn VC into a lottery.
We need a study measuring how much business chat tools are used for non-work communication. I keep hearing from managers that these tools aren't massive distractions, so let's look at the data!
Edit: Nobody is suggesting that cars be made illegal. But pretending (yes, pretending) that bicycles, even e-bikes, are a threat to the safety of pedestrians is not supported by any facts or statistics. It seems disingenuous to ignore the elephant in the room: Drunk driving accounts for approximately half of all pedestrian fatalities in the US. When talking about pedestrian safety, it's ridiculous to devote resources to activities that don't comprise any significant portion of pedestrian deaths. Talking about bicycles as a real problem for pedestrian safety is nothing but an emotional circle-jerk.
Here's a conundrum: Cars kill ~30,000 people per year in the USA. Vehicle emissions cause ~58,000 premature deaths. That's a problem. Not bicycles, not E-bikes, not bike sharing programs, not motorcycles, not skateboards, not rollerblades – Cars!
