The only thing crypto currency is good for is generating hype stories and bubble inflation...
...and buying contraband. As long as it's good for this, it's not going to disappear entirely. Cryptocurrency is still the primary trading medium for the dark web.
I'm guessing that one or more state actors can trace it. Unless it's based on the only secure software on the planet.
What the head-in-sand crowd doesn't realize is that all these spring snows on the east coast that have become frequent over the past ~20 years are caused by the southward loop in the jet stream shifting eastward from its traditional position, sucking down cold arctic air at the Atlantic coast. But while you're saying "What happened to global warming???", those of us out west are saying "What happened to winter???".
There is some speculation that what this article is talking about is the cause of the shift in the jet stream, but AFAIK it isn't certain yet.
Everyone hates it, everyone thinks it has adverse effects, and yet we still have it. Is someone making a buck off it? Is the Little League lobby running the country? Do the lizardmen who've infiltrated all the world's governments like it?
The new frigate was supposed to be a master of all trades -- carrying Marines to deploy to fight ashore, providing gunfire support, hunting enemy ships and submarines, and capable of being deployed on far-flung missions for up to two years away from a home port...
At the end of the day, it seems if you were there early and out at the peak then you won. But overall the whole system seems worse or more world wrecking than country issued currency. I wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin crashes badly or dies someday leaving a sour taste in crytocurrency.
Bitcoin is like an IPO for a company listed as NUTN, with a prospectus that says they have no assets and their business plan is to do nothing, but helpfully points out that its stock will have some inherent value so long as smart people like you want to buy it.
Unlike the tulip and wooden nose bubbles, buying cryptocurrency is speculating on nothing.
Supposedly (according to Suetonius, IIRC), one of the Ceasars declared that it's OK to fart at dinner parties, after one of his guests hurt himself trying to hold one back so he wouldn't have to leave the room.
more and more we're finding mental disorders and weaknesses aren't poor decision making or weak moral fiber but a sign something is broken. For millennia we've blamed the mentally ill for their faults unless they were so stark raving mad we couldn't do anything but laugh. As a lot of smaller behavioral problems are traced to physiology I wonder if our society and our political narratives will adapt.
Supposedly a number of ethicists and jurists are worried that "my brain made me do it" will become a standard courtroom defense.
If you want to get out ahead of the crowd, try "my cat's parasites made my brain make me do it".
Twitter, Facebook, Google and other companies keep blaming some sir or madamn called "algorithm" for everything they do wrong these days?

"There are times where content is surfaced on our platform that violates our standards," said Rob Leathern, product management director at Facebook. "In this case, we've removed the associated targeting fields in question. We know we have more work to do, so we're also building new guardrails in our product and review processes to prevent other issues like this from happening in the future."
If sexual orientation correlates highly with physical appearance, then I think this conclusively proves that sexual orientation is not a "decision."
* Unless this is picking up on subtle cues like gay men wearing eyeliner and gay women not wearing makeup. (Similar to lots of how gay men speak with an "affliction" and drive Saabs, while gay women drive Subarus.)
No, it could be picking up something subtle about a person's facial expression.
For something that strongly suggests that it isn't just a decision, google homosexual fraternal birth order.

So... how big is a table in the Australian desert?
Pick one:
a) Fortunately Antarctica is a myth, so there's no cause for concern.
b) We're going to be in deep shit when the penguiform balrogs thaw out of the ice.
Still, it shocks me how many times I have to explain to my girl (and friends and family) why we shouldn't be god damn breeding.
Most guys try to explain to their girl why they *should* be breeding.
Send in a non-violent offender, get back a hardened criminal six years later.

This is more evidence that Slashdot editors are non-neutral reporters pushing an anti-Cryptocurrency agenda
Funny, I thought it was a bitcoin/tesla fan site.
Wiktionary's etymology says both forms are derived from the same root in a proto-language. I.e., they're cognates.
Let's build an AI to solve this cha/tea mystery!
I think it has something to do with tai chi.
How would they troll Facebook if they cut the cables?
If you identify a UFO as a UFO, is it still a UFO?
Yeah, it's an Uhdentified Flying Object.
I like Catullus' novem continuas fututiones.
Something to do with socks and dryers, no doubt.
Am I missing some subtle connection between the headline and the summary?

Hopefully Mulley and Sculder are all over it.
