I used to work with a consultant who was a bit of a maverick and would regularly get dismissed from his clients after he ignored all the top brass and immediately went to talk to t…

They want to detect overcrowding of stations which means before people have gone through any barriers

They've been collecting data for at least 3 years. It's only the detecting of attempted wifi connections but it's the best data source fro predicting overcrowding of stations. A lo…

You can only be anonymous by blending into a large anonymity set. If the very act of using the privacy features singles you out as being part of a small set that is trying to be co…

Half expected he answer to be 'owns 20 other houses'

A better approach might be to just stop them acquiring the things that ordinary folks need in a bid becoming rentier parasites, namely homes. In a world where food is abundant (for…

Sweet irony would be if you could use their own AI research to help

Bring back 'long life' insurance, the one where the money of those 'lucky' enough to not run out of money before they die goes to the survivors who need it. It became taboo and pha…

I was expecting something negative too but that just shows how negative people's assumptions/biases are regarding these things.

For someone working with UK/West European clients the time zone means you can enjoy the daytime and work in the evening which I prefer. The 9-5 is too engrained from last century w…

Slippage is the word I was thinking of.

"asset holders (i.e. mostly the upper classes) essentially made bank, because debt got extremely cheap and the value of the currency declined. The average saver lost money, or at l…

Very little. They are just used as a boogieman to focus the narrative of those who don't agree with the path toward layered scaling or who have an ulterior motive to cause conflict…

Domain names were the bitcoin of the dot com bubble. The digital asset that if you got in early has largely gone up ever since.

Bitcoin yes, definitely, Ethereum maybe, other crypto tokens that have gone up as much or more like Stratis or NEM probably not without a large drop off as you affect the market (c…

I take heart in knowing that most of the people who made money were developers, especially from ethereum which I bought to play with. Be careful of getting emotional about it. It c…

Yes, it's from more technically savvy to less technical so to some degree from young to old. Not exactly of course but it's the one countervailing flow to the housing and other ass…

If nothing else, cryptocurrency might do one thing that is needed, if only roughly and imperfectly, and is to distribute wealth from the the old to the young. It's the one counterb…

Makes me think that laws like this should be more like programming (for humans) and easily reverted when they are found to cause bugs in behavior but somehow laws have to be fixed …

The outcome will likely depend of how many miners switch to the b-cash chain. I can see both sides dumping to try and convince the market that theirs is the real bitcoin and that t…

That dream is one that many have tried to achieve but it's what I call the software paradox: any system or framework that is capable of doing everything is so complex to learn and …

I'd add very long hours sat (or even stood) at a desk. Coding on the beach is less depressing.

This is classic Minsky ponzi finance. I wait to see revelations of fraud and corruption that have been hidden too.

Bubbles have their uses. An enormous amount of money and effort is thrown at a new technology in the hope of getting the bit that sticks. Most will lose and go broke but a lot of i…

Ironically that might be a reason for the later increase in the price of ETH compared to ETC as corporate types like the idea of being able to 'roll back' the chain in the event of…
