This is pretty obviously the reasonable take. > A security is a contract, not just anything that people trade around in a speculative way. The scary thing IMO is that I think if yo…

Yes, you need to use `ykman` to set a PIN. This also allows some services (really only Microsoft Accounts right now) to use "passwordless". The idea is you register 2 or 3 password…

Open source. I recently started getting back into submitting patches and hanging out on irc/matrix/discord. I think a lot of the advice like "join the church" or "do an activity" a…

I've been a customer since 2016 and they've been excellent. They also recently added wireguard support which is nice. Reddit has a big comparison table if you're curious: https://o…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carfentanil wasn't banned in China until 2017. I think the origin of what's now being blamed on "fentanyl" is the real risk that even the smallest inh…

100% agree. Also I bucket "free" into "data harvesting", "actually gratis", or "libre".

I haven't ever actually bought Windows, so I wasn't aware the discrepancy would be that crazy. I just assumed it was a reputation/escrow problem as there's no shipping information …

> Not if people just swap NFT accounts and sell their keys+accounts in their entirety. There's a cost to doing this. Usually as an escrow fee paid to ebay or g2a or wherever you're…

I think you've got it, so I'm not sure why you don't understand the value of NFTs. It's entirely about economics. In the case of Windows keys, if Microsoft issued them as an NFT, t…

> What's stopping from people from sharing accounts? I guess if the ScalperAccount has a dedicated wallet that only has one asset, and that wallet's private key is sold, sure. Of c…

I use all those types of cryptography too, but NFTs provide additional features. The special thing about NFTs is that they're securely transferable on a public ledger, which isn't …

The JPEG-flipping profile picture culture may be dead, but the technology works. NFTs are great if you need cryptographic proof of ownership. I believe this actually has a ton of u…

Ah, so I'm only allowed to do cryptography if I have a "legitimate use case". I've heard that before. Also, nice list of people who did cryptography wrong. I guess there's more inn…

> Who is arguing to ban cryptography? > Regulation in the crypto industry means that crypto tokens are securities So cryptography is fine, unless it's part of a network that you do…

> regulators will go through crypto with a fine tooth comb I'm not sure if you're aware, but "crypto" isn't some company that will be regulated. It's math being done on computer ne…

> This is where the future is headed, not crypto. Well, sure, your business interests will win if you ban competition. If crypto is useless, it will die organically. If crypto is u…

Clever and great writeup.

The benefit is that it keeps a huge graph of all dependencies, so everything from the toolchain through your application can be built with hashing and caching. Sort of like make, b…

Every time I see one of these frame.work posts, it looks like they're doing so much right. I can't wait to buy into their ecosystem. How long until 120hz+ displays?

Cash is already effectively gone in a lot of situations.

> Widespread privacy in crypto == end of civilisation. This sounds ridiculous but logically one has to follow the other in a few very short steps. That does sound ridiculous. What …

Related, the Launch Control XL is pretty much the only sensibly priced and well built box of knobs, sliders, and buttons.

I thought we had previously sorted out that money is speech?

Vitalik came out as a TC user earlier: https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/155692560223356928... He apparently used it to donate to Ukraine.
