There is a Financial Tyranny Index by Vexl Foundation published here:

https://github.com/vexl-it/fti/blob/main/fti.pdf

Among other things, it shows Cash Limits in various countries:

Greece 500 EUR, Spain, Italy, France 1000 EUR, Israel 1500 EUR, ...

Open-source is mentioned 10x on the website, but there is no link to the actual source.

The study finds that "majority of people who invest in crypto inevitably lose money", but the article puts "Bitcoin" in title to mislead the readers.

So:

Do people lose money when they invest into crypto? Yes.

Do people lose money when they invest into Bitcoin? No (if their timespan is 5+ years).

Exactly that https://subuser.org does

This might provide some hints (or not): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg#At_Microsoft

"In 1996, Hejlsberg left Borland and joined Microsoft. One of his first achievements was the J++ programming language and the Windows Foundation Classes; he also became a Microsoft Distinguished Engineer and Technical Fellow. Since 2000, he has been the lead architect of the team developing the C# language. In 2012 Hejlsberg announced a new Microsoft project, TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript."

I can only speculate that lots of skilled Borland developers followed Hejlsberg and participated in creation of C# and later TypeScript.

The real artistry is to deploy updates without doing a hard fork. Taproot is one of these and it is very, very important.

It will also make it 99.95% less resistant to censorship.

Bitcoin did not have a premine

It seems you can add the AirTag technology to a 3rd party product via MFi program.

Would it be possible to send a custom payload? E.g. with a status report (battery percentage, etc.)

Gameboy is really slow when compared to modern hardware. One ECDSA signature that takes around 100ms on Trezor (32-bit CPU @ 120 MHz) would take around a minute on GameBoy (8-bit CPU @ ~4 MHz.

If we're talking about GameBoy Advance (32-bit CPU @ 25 MHz) - this more plausible but still 5 times slower than Trezor.

They were not using ARM, but Tensilica chips with Xtensa instruction set - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensilica#Xtensa_instruction_s...

you don't really need very sophisticated model for this.

just use dlib to detect face landmarks and apply some very basic hue/contrast/brightness localized filter to imitate lipstick, make-up, mascara, etc.

that's what some software can already do out of the box (e.g. zoom) and the results are very good

Do you know he did not?

Rust talks always happened in the Mozilla dev room historically.

Have a look at Nix/NixOS - it's full of wonderful people

Keybase is dead. In the PR they were explicit they were hired to work on Zoom and not continue working on Keybase. Luckily there is keys.pub

hashcash is proof of work

I am glad we have https://keys.pub/ :-)

How is this different from LibrePCB and why you have not joined forces together?

How exactly will the new runtime fix the habit of Javascript developers to pull-in millions of dependencies?

For OpenPCR yes, for Open qPRC not.

How is this better than Open qPCR which is 3-times less expensive and can give a test result in 1 hour instead of 2.5 hours?
