kylell··on Blockchain is a useless technology
on the same page with banks faking Libor, his main argument is governments can ban banks working with bitcoin and everything is dead in the water, first of all, a global enforcement of it must be done, seconds there are even constitutional rights here at play, and you can buypass banks all together, and in Japan is legal tender.

If bitcoin can challenge banks & money printing machines even a little then it kind of achieves its goal, and I think is happening already otherwise you won't see so much bad press, don't tell me bankers are just trying to inform, they are really worried about me losing money speculating on bitcoin, they didn't cared when they crashed the economy in 2008, also I saw a news story the other day, the poland central bank or so, paid 30k euros to a famous local youtuber to trash bitcoin.

kylell··on Visa confirms Coinbase wasn’t at fault for overcharging users
the central authority is the gatekeeper in this cause, things happening at the border have nothing to do with either concepts.
kylell··on How UK Spies Hacked a European Ally and Got Away with It
How can you get infected by just visiting a fake website, where they on windows, are we doing such a poor job, we like to brag with nice titles, architect etc, but the industry is quite shit, if you can get infected just by visiting a site.
kylell··on Tulip mania: the classic story of a Dutch financial bubble is mostly wrong
I guess if there is a 50% or more chance that someone will pay more and you would make money then it makes sense, you can't win if you don't risk, those who stay on the side find comfort in calling those who risk, lucky when they win and stupid when they lose.

The Venezuelan government days are numbered
kylell··on Go 1.10 Release Notes
that was my opinion too, I even thought what a stupid name Go, is another Google thing shoved down our throats, but then I worked with it and from node.js where you install a few packages and you see npm install saying 1201 packages installed, from java where you do a change and wait 30 seconds to recompile, just to see you got it wrong, and you get a huge stack trace and you need a huge frameworks for basic web stuff, from net core that I can't get it to work on mac for the love of good, I can't think of a better language at this moment, it allows me to go to machine language go without any VM or interpreter.
kylell··on A man who got away with $242M using ‘black magic’
Still the writer is telling the story as an absolute truth, if he claimed could double money, why that guy kept sending him money without getting back anything doubled?

And 3 years, the sentences, way to little, something doesn't add up, I'm inclined to believe that he actually was some kind of scapegoat, that yes he received money from the bank, but a cover up, also the bank didn't noticed, so much money going out without justification?

kylell··on Coinbase Commerce: merchants can accept multiple digital currencies
your logic is funny, is like having a busy site with a postgress db, and saying postgress is at fault, look at my mysql wordpress site with 1.3 visitors per day, how fast it is.

Ethereum will colapse on itself sooner of later, no one managed to sync a node recently.

kylell··on DPD courier who was fined for day off to see doctor dies from diabetes
maybe he didn't had £150 for another fine, you don't need to be that smart to see the conditions are as restrictive as being employed, wear uniform, can't work for another carrier, etc. fines, etc. yet you're classified as contractor and get no benefits.

Is clear an abuse from the company, you trying to blame the victim, is disgraceful.

kylell··on The Opium Wars Still Shape China’s View of the West
Turkey indicted 30k people and ruined lots of lives, just because someone hacked their wifi and added a link to some gullen (made up state enemy) website app, and just visiting that app website would put you in jail, but their didn't even do that. Philipines is worse with drugs regular killings, you must be quite an idiot to say this.
kylell··on Worries Grow That the Price of Bitcoin Is Being Propped Up
I think 90% is true, otherwise why won't they won't agree to get audited, also investors, can you call yourself an "investors" if you give $100 and they give you 100 of something promising you they will keep your $100, while not showing any proof of it.
kylell··on How a malicious seed generation website stole $4M
do anyone prosecute this kind of hacks? or just because is a token without legal status is like stealing Sheldon's gear in WOW.

This kind of pre-generated seed hack is quite dangerous, a lot of mobile apps, don't have deterministic build so you can't be sure the open source version is the same as the one from apple store, and I bet Apple won't do such a thoroughly search.

kylell··on Europe’s central banks are starting to replace dollar reserves with the yuan
When you print money you devalue existing money, if the holders of the existing money keep holding it, keep trusting it, the devaluation is much smaller.

The inflation if visible in asset prices, eg. a painting would sell for half a billion dollar, all these companies being evaluated at billions of dollars, now holding billions of $ as state reserve doesn't look so big anymore.

kylell··on Why treating diabetes keeps getting more expensive
Yes, sorry, I was thinking at type-2 diabetes, I have a relative with type-2 and doctor told her to cut alcohol, sugar, carbs, etc, type-1 is entirely different, the immune system attacks the pancreas.
kylell··on Why treating diabetes keeps getting more expensive
Insulin is just like when you have performance problem in a monolithic app and you throw more hardware at it, but at some point you can't upgrade your server anymore.

Not sure if there's much you can do while diabetic, but cut bread-like and sugary foods, these spike your insulin the most and your body becomes insulin resistant and so you need more and more insulin, more that you can make.

kylell··on Europe’s central banks are starting to replace dollar reserves with the yuan
this is also an effect of US isolationism and America first rhetoric which also means abandoning other states, eg. Ukraine, when the US loses its influence/importance so does the dollar, meaning you can't print like crazy and export your inflation in the world.
kylell··on Scammers Using Fake News to Screw with Bitcoin Investors
if you fork bitcoin you don't make more bitcoin, a forked bitcoin coin isn't exchangeable with the original, bitcoin value is in the community who reconize it as an asset, how you say, people recognize gold as an asset. Except history bitcoin has many other advantages to gold, and history is not that huge argument, times change.
kylell··on Bitcoin.org removes “fast” and “low fees” from Bitcoin description page
you should edit "some central authorities" in my country for example the central authority inflates the money without shame.
