Tribler has had a blockchain integrating anonymous bittorrent downloading for quite awhile now. Shame you can only really get it working via microsoft github.
I think you mean the "Indian government is making serious efforts to reduce theft evasion, and restrict people's ability to conduct their own businesses free from government intervention by making cash transactions difficult."
Because we want Cloudflare to be a thing of the past. It is a central point of failure for the whole of the world wide web at this point, and making them moreso a central point of failure for the internet is not a good idea at all.

As far as the most insightful/funny :
I thought Milo Yiannopoulos' Dangerous ranked pretty high of the past few books I've read in both those categories.
* if that Underlying Value is expressed in dollars, there's the risk of inflation. Which, ask anyone in Venezuela today how that can go.
* A huge % of the world is unbanked, and not allowed to participate in the stock market. Same goes for GICs, savings bonds. If Banks don't like you, for whatever reason you're cut out of having a stable place to put your money.
* I've been trying to buy a house on/off since 2013 - so far I haven't got a single serious offer for anyone to sell me one in a place I could live in. And now it looks like it might be considered an act of terrorism for me to try to buy a house.
ZCash/Bitcoin exists for a reason. The rest of the world is becoming a nightmare dystopia, and a lot of people are flat out cut out of being able to have any stake whatsoever in the world around them.
...and, surprisingly, all the groups involved (city, the council of canadians, 'humans of basic income')...none of them have the budget and all expect someone else to pick up the tab for their free money. Funny how that works.
Half of humanity isn't even on the internet yet. Only a minority of internet users use cryptocurrency, and of the ones that do, many don't use it for very much that's substantial in their lives. We've got at *least* another doubling of value to go.
One way to get to the next billion would be, oh I don't know, a working ethereum client in debian.
It's easy to assume that everyone in meatspace is going to play nice, but reddit puts psychopaths in unaccountable positions of power over what millions of people can think.
Guess what? Not all of us are OK with that. If you put many kinds of people in the same room, you're going to get a fight. And for some of us, that includes reddit mods.
1) The study supports up to 0.8 drinks / day (95%) in populations with a propensity for heart issues.
2) In general: this study does relatively well, probably better at all studies previous at meticulously looking at the costs of alcohol consumption to human life expectancy. Yet it does very little to look at the benefits. This might explain why previous meta-analyses got a little more rosy view - they put more effort into finding benefits, rather than looking at costs. This study might serve as a useful bottom range - (0.0-0.8 / day, depending on your risk profile as an individual to particular kinds of health problems)
3) The study seems to group a lot of likelihood on the >4 drink / day level - this is consistent, and provides a clearer view at these high levels than previous meta-analyses. But I can't help but think that this is bleeding through to the lower drinks. Especially with the messy data they have - there's a lot of noise in there, and some of their 95% CIs are perhaps a little premature.
Actually not really. I'm a free software guy...and *their stuff will not work with only free software*. I was locked out of using their product. I could have poured megadollars into nvidia equipment, were that a free software option....but they did not make that an option, and lost out. I did my cryptocurrency mining back in, what, 2010? 2011? I'm frustrated from helping other people mine, and go through troubleshooting nvidia crap. Trying to bring cryptocurrency mining 'to the masses' as it were. It's just not happening with nvidia being the platform of choice.
"nvidia doesn't need a market that has small saturation point"
Sure. But that is mutual. There's no compelling reason why cryptocurrency miners have to use proprietary hardware, it just so happens that they choose to for mostly self-defeating reasons.
"maybe someday someone will design a cryptocurrency that is actually useful to the masses, but that day is not now"
Likewise: only 54% of people are on the internet. Though linux/android cellphones/handheld robots are actually useful 'to the masses'...it took a lot to get there. Cryptocurrency makes the internet more valuable, and there's a lot more of that that needs to happen before the remaining 46% will find it worth taking advantage of the internet.
NVidia not making profit here? Let's look at why.
1) You need to be able to understand what the hardware/software stack below you is doing in the cryptocurrency world. Because more often than not, that one black box that you don't understand is where your bitcoin / other cryptocurrency is going to get stolen from. And yet Nvidia is actively hostile to those of us who live and die by drivers that are FLOSS. Nevermind that NVidia drivers are buggy as hell, we can't fix the official ones.
2) NVidia has been openly hostile to cryptocurrency miners, expressing publicly that they would prefer their cards go to gamers. They are not content to shut up and take our money, they didn't want it.
3) Their contact/support blocks tor users Which, guess what? There's a significant overlap with cryptocurrency users, given the concern we have over our privacy.
tl; dr nvidia didn't care when one of the biggest windfalls ever hit them, and now the market is starting to move past them. Good.
Will this include DRM to monitor and/or censor any unlicensed, unregulated and anti-Alphabet/US government material?
Will the hearing aids and handheld robots that implement this protocol have the source code available, in a reproducibly building way so that we can verify what they do is what they say they do?
Did the Verge ask these questions? If not, why not?
The BUY might be at 6000$ but the SELL price is much much higher. There's a huge spread. Who would have thought that a currency designed to get rid of middlemen would be *so utterly profitable* for middlemen?
In general though? This news is misleading. Coinmarketcap has had the incorrect price for bitcoin for quite a few months now. If you're considering selling at 6k$, consider selling on a market where the price is higher. Buy low, sell high.
For example, there is a coin where 1 unit of it = $1 USD and always will.
And that coin is a scam. You cannot have a stable peg like that, but even if you could it's a dumb idea. The US dollar is not a stable, global unit of value, unlike, say, bitcoin.

OP might be talking about nuclear winter, rather than nuclear power - which could buy us some much needed time.

Say what you will about the black box that is intel CPUs, at least you can get free software that runs on them that is more or less feature complete.
