  1. Re:Wild West is what we want on Why Tether's Collapse Would Be Bad For Cryptocurrencies (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the most concerning fraud is not exchanges that are hacked, but exchanges themselves that are committing fraud under the guise of "we were hacked!" With the amount of real world money being thrown around out here, it isn't just more likely, its inevitable.

    Also, are fraudlent ICOs, ones that take the money and run. But, I suspect those are mostly driven by the same idiots that invest in companies that add "blockchain" to their names for no reason.

    Lol, you want regulations on cryptocurrency? The whole reason for its existence is that it is the wild west of avoiding regulated currency.

    Perhaps I misunderstood the point of cryptocurrencies. Or is it more that people want regulations that protect them but hurt others? Sounding more like a real currency every day, actually.

    You are really, and truly, an idiot.

    Why do you keep banging on about Moore's Law? Do you even know what it is? It says nothing about computing performance or technological progress. All it says is how many transistors can be crammed on a die. There is a lower lower limit to how big a transistor can be since you can't make it smaller than the electrons that flow through it.

    This just means that future advances will be in different avenues. 3D chips, multi-core systems, optical interconnects, efficient thermal usage. All of these things are being developed today. Some of them won't pan out. Some of them will.

    You are not even a Luddite. At least they admit that technology will progress as much as they dislike it. You are like the living embodiment of the argument from ignorance. "Progress won't happen because I can't figure out how it could!" Maybe you can't figure it out because you are an idiot. Did that ever occur to you?

    The Lightroom 6 perpetual license is only perpetual as long as you can find a computer to run it. I am already screwed by the fact that they don't natively support Olympus ORF files for the E-M1 Mark II and have to go through an annoying conversion process.

    I want to like DarkTable, but they don't support photos in multiple collections, so I would have to scrap my entire organization system. DT is a photo editing system, not really an organization one.

    The latest version of the S-300 might be able to go Mach-6.

    However, there were SAMs that could match the SR-71's top speed during its day. The problem is that it took them so long to get up to altitude and speed that the SR-71 was long gone by the time they arrived. Same story for air launched missiles from the Mig-25.

    SAMs were a threat, they could not simply ignore them. But, as the track record proves, the SR-71 and its pilots were just better than any defense thrown at them.
