Not trying to make a strong statement but obviously correlation in moves doesn't mean it's been pegged to SPY. If they could have a digital asset pegged to SPY, maybe it'd be attractive, as well
The volatility in price seems okay as far as diversification, there was some low probability of crypto prices being this high and it happened. The private key hygiene is really worrying though. You can have private key multisig but at some basic level the funds can just disappear once someone accumulates enough keys (e.g. corrupt persons sell them on black market). Or be lost if enough keys are lost etc. It requires pretty diligent process, especially during changes of power
Quoting a 2017 book about how thinly traded bitcoin is? I appreciate the concept but it doesn't always feel like it rounds out the takes. (FTR, I appreciate it's thin enough to make market cap misleading, but up-to-date liquidity figures would be helpful if we're trying to criticize market cap)
It'd be pretty annoying for a JIT compiler to have to manage too. Java can do a garbage collection with barely any memory left - cool! But, it'd be a shame if similar tricky stuff was written just to e.g. decompile code just to make way for more code space. Pages with only one of 'write' or 'execute' privileges work well enough
The problem is that the more a company wants to draw a line in the sand against a government, the more it must be a monopoly of some kind otherwise be replaced by someone who doesn't
For businesses in times of gold-based commerce, reliable bank notes were greatly welcome. Gold was heavy and hard to validate, whereas crypto is easy to validate but also so light that without proper key management it will float away :). I don't blame you for not also wanting to perform high stakes private key keeping on top of a business
I think this is a strong counterpoint to the "don't test your abstract, implementation-detail machines" philosophy. If you have decomposed a system into iterative passes with pre-conditions and post-conditions it can be hard to ensure any given edge case deep in the process - hence more likely you want to exhaustively test a "private" piece
This author presumably wants a dialogue, though? "database-key-provenance-as-art is always a scam" is a fine opinion, but I would have picked one with more nuance
Among official responses from game platforms - what I meant by 'the field'. Note that I personally like the creator of itch and respect his opinion, I just did not think it was a professional use of platform.
I was curious to this myself (I'm speaking more generally than any project). One reason I found is just to provide margin investing. So some company buys some $FOO and it goes up 10x. It may prefer to borrow stablecoins with it as collateral, even at a high rate. This way, investment can continue without selling (they may want to defer selling for liquidity or tax reasons, simply want to leverage and buy more etc)
The itch.io response here is uniquely abrasive in the field (although undeniably a sentiment some hold). I hope we don't think that's a good example of dialogue.
It seems silly to expect liquidity in bitcoin to support huge countries, and a bitcoin fork for each major side would be a mess
but there is a question of what neutral credibility a brand new world currency would have
There's a few ways of doing anonymous functions now, and some capture `this` and some don't. This is not a nice part of the language perhaps, but it's not like e.g. Java doesn't have similar complexity with inner classes and outer 'this'
"a lot of people like to feel like the rest of the world is a shithole."
I wouldn't say that's my bias - I like to travel so I like to feel like the rest of the world is welcoming. However, clear problems that are different from what I'm used to do make me uncomfortable
The C++ additions surrounding move constructors, rvalue references increased my practical complexity understanding the language (although mostly grokked now). Everything else seemed the good kinds of additions; just having a new, more palatable way to express things. If you go deep in templates, some stuff might add complexity, but overall a lot of new stuff just vastly shortcuts the crazy turing complete stuff people were doing anyway
You can track, but large amounts merge with small and disperse as they hit brokers etc. If your claim to someone is that their BTC is 0.01% stolen, it's not so strong. Faster you act, more you can do
I'd rather an industry standard payout, but the workers getting pay proportional to revenue is actually not a bad model. I just hate the analysis paralysis
I think they have a problem with hated content that's technically allowed - "buy AnimalCoin" etc. I would hate to just be brigaded against, though, Twitter already feels like a wild west of getting unwelcome replies
But what stops a well-functioning democracy from getting more corporate influence? Or woops-emergency-powers? I've come to realize any government is better than the alternative - until an extreme point. As a result they tend to be stable even when amassing corruption
