    Mat = Jump + conclusions + without seeing anything

  2. Re:Some of it is important on Google Debuts Video Games Streaming Service Stadia (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Google already has the hardware. A Chromecast Ultra 4k can already decode 4k HDR streaming.

  3. Re:ATT doesn't have to. on Verizon Says 5G Network Will Cost Extra $10 a Month (go.com) · · Score: 1

    All ATT did was change their LTE symbol to 5E. There was no network upgrade to 5g. 5G uses extremely high frequencies in the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range, you need new antennas to handle those frequencies. Yes they will charge more since Verizon will be, but probably for 5E.

  4. Re:Which Linux users really care and why? on Linux Subsystem Files To Become Accessible via Windows File Explorer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I do. I use Windows for most of my job, but once in a while running bash and other scripts is just easier than Windows.

  5. Re:Just because you can doesn't mean you should. on You Can Now Run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3 (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    You are literally comparing Apples to berries. Of course a VM on a $2000 core i5 with 32gb of ram computer running an Intel processor will "run windows just fine." Because a PI starts at $35, there might be some specific apps you might want to run. Actually the IOT Windows core is nice.

  6. Re:but don't worry on Software Engineer Loses Life Savings in Quadriga Imbroglio (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Most cryptos have can divide to 8 decimals. Also exchanges are for converting to different types of crypto or fiat, just like stock exchanges.

  7. If you don't hold your own keys, on Software Engineer Loses Life Savings in Quadriga Imbroglio (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you don't hold your own keys, you don't hold your own crypto. Clearly not a "crypto bro." should have held this coins on a hardware device.

  8. Horse and buggy was used for centuries.. but who needs innovation.

  9. Re:You want to stop climate change? on Ethereum Plans To Cut Its Absurd Energy Consumption By 99 Percent (ieee.org) · · Score: 2

    How much electricity is required for banks to manage your FIAT money? all the costs of ATM's, Brick and mortar buidings, etc.

    Technically they are right since you get a reward for winning the right to create the block in the blockchain, hence processing the transactions you get a reward. Its not 1 coin, but 12.5 coins per block of transactions.

  11. Well no. Its not $140. Its closer to $450. Of course since you're not in sales you don't know anything about marketing, R&D, sales people, employee costs. Which also add on to the prices.

  12. Re:Cryptocurreny has ruined too many lives on Bitcoin Falls Below $5,000 For First Time Since October 2017 (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    What about the USD? Its been used for all of that an more. It ruins lives every day.

  13. I think it was an argument about Tabs vs. Spaces.

  14. Re:It seems like Apple wants us to ditch adapters. on Someone With an iMac, iPhone, and iPad Might Soon Need Three Different Headphone Adapters (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    headphone jack type headphones can also be shit if you buy the dollar store ones. Its all about buying a quality device.

  15. As of right now, the fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 12 satoshis/byte For the median transaction size of 225 bytes, this results in a fee of 2,700 satoshis (about 19 cents). Paying this much will get you into the next block, your transaction will be verified within 10 minutes. This is how Bitcoin works. Also, every two weeks Bitcoin re-balances its difficulty with hashrate to keep it at around 10 minutes per block. So if the hashrate goes down, the difficulty will go down, this then makes current miners more profitable per hash.

    ... making active investment in BitCoin *really* difficult to do quickly.

    Making an active transaction on an exchange is instant, like GDAX. This is done off chain. Finally.. Its Bitcoin, not BitCoin.

  16. Re:Upgrade drains battery, no? on Is iOS 11.4 Draining Your iPhone's Battery? You're Not Alone (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    So its probably just media fear mongering and FUD. Open article, search replace IOS version number.. post.

    Not sure if you know what Malware is. If they explicitly state what they are doing and you click ok, there is nothing malicious about it. Also its not installed, its a javascript library that runs

  19. Re:Bitcoin is currently priced well below that.... on Bitcoin Plummets Below $8,000 For First Time Since November (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    7/10 troll. Bcash is just a scam coin made by bitmain to support his miner hacks so they can mine 0 kb blocks and increase their hashrate with asicboost. If Bcash really wanted to keep the traditional blockchain they wouldn't have increased the block size to 8mb and kept it at 1mb.

    That is not the outage. The outage is the exchanges that allow you to trade. Bitcoin network is running just fine.

  22. Re: Alternative to advertising? on The Internet Is Ripe With In-Browser Miners and It's Getting Worse Each Day (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone should do a comparison of each. Bandwidth is going to be a lot lower with mining since 90% of ads are video ads or animated gifs. Yes CPU might be used, but the power needed to render videos and those animated images still need cpu/gpu cycles.

  23. But its not malware. Malware is spread through malicious acts. If its fully disclosed up front, its just your choice to go there. I do like coinhive's capatcha alternative, I would rather mine for 20 seconds than to pick which image is a car or what a street sign is.

    Verses random ads which might include malware which the website does not know about. I would rather mine for a minute than pay for a paywall or get malware installed. If its fully disclosed on the site its a good alternative.
