Didn’t he change his name when he was first married (to some more distant family name) instead of only one spouse changing name?
I think it is his ex-wife’s name?
No, it isn't.

All reasonable points, and potentially insurmountable challenges. Also whatever it is, needs to have incremental utility, otherwise there's no road from the present to the future for it. Also to repeat a minor rant of mine, anyone designing a would be successor to Etherium should think very deeply about programming language theory and consult/engage with experts in that community. Much pain could be avoided by findin…
You can build whatever language features you want, though it still should deploy into the EVM. Vyper is an existing alternative to Solidity. I would like to see more alternatives, so stop ranting and start building. https://www.quicknode.com/guides/smart-contract-development/...
Observing that you can implement any semantics atop a turing complete mechanism isn't interesting. You're also ignoring the very interesting possibility of using a total language.
I am perfectly fine expressing a criticism without trying to become the next ETH developer. That's a pointless and rude behavior. If you find my criticism uninteresting you are free to simply scroll on.

The harmony bridge hack by Lazarus group (north korean actor) is a good example: The first address used is 0x0d043128146654c7683fbf30ac98d7b2285ded00 It's a bit harder to trace using public tools because they immediately start splitting off the various coins to other addresses, but looking at just the USDC: They split it off into a single purpose address that is just responsible for converting it to ETH. They do this…
What's "slippage"?

Not always, I bonds were offering more earlier this year
I bonds are subsidized by the US Treasury (this is why there’s a purchase limit), which has never defaulted on its debt.
Technically speaking, yes, though the USA is not invulnerable : for instance the dollar has lost a third of its value in the decade after the Nixon shock...

> It is still a Ponzi if people are "honest" about it being a Ponzi It literally isn't. Please go back to the definition, which requires a specific type of deception. If you wished, perhaps you could call crypto some kind of gamble, confidence game, or other category of scam. > Arguing that clear Ponzis aren't really Ponzis due to some kind of semantic rules is a gigantic display of "copium".

> From your tone it seems like you think I'm trying to defend crypto in this thread. Yes I got ranted at for suggesting "fools racing towards a cliff" as a better description. These threads appear to have attracted a lot of people looking for a fight and will jump on any nuanced post as a "pro" side.
I've noticed this phenomenon a lot, and I'm not exactly sure what causes it. If you correct someone's understanding of the software, half the time they'll try to pick a fight with you over being a supporter of it. I haven't experienced that while discussing any other type of software project.
Perhaps it results from the human tendency to try to separate "good guys" from "bad guys". Whatever it is, I find it really gets in the way of productive discussion.

There are reports of SBF having used a backdoor to move funds. https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1591365581550551043?r... It’s unclear if that’s a legit source though.
I've heard this, but seen no real evidence. As of right now it's hearsay
More hearsay, but it seems to be increasing. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRxcP6dx/
Mostly posting it for later, in case it turns out to be true.
There was also a tweet trying to pin it on a specific coworker.

Not a miner. I do use a computer to calculate dumb stuff all the time for entertainment purposes. I mean… Cyberpunk 2077 could run acceptably on an integrated 65W APU but instead I chose to crank everything on max with ray tracing through a 4090 just to see some dumb frames on a screen that are discarded at a hundred per second. And I don’t ever remember having to ask permission to use the kW h I’m paying for.
> just to see some dumb frames on a screen that are discarded at a hundred per second. If these frames were really discarded (that is, not shown on your screen), then yes, it would be a waste. But my understanding of your example is that these frames were displayed, and their light reached your eyeballs.
They are if the thing about the eye being limited to 60FPS is true.

> Once again almost everything in cryptocurrency proves to be a scam. Once again people on HN hate on cryptocurrencies for no good reason. This isn't a cryptocurrency problem, it's a fractional reserve banking problem. These centralized exchanges are unregulated banks in disguise. It's no surprise to anyone that they exhibit all of the problems of unregulated banks. Problems such as "we used customer deposits to gamb…
>people on HN hate on cryptocurrencies for no good reason. Traditional bankers have spent an incredible amount of time and taken huge political risks to gain hold over the US money supply. They and people in the wall street sphere have a very good reason to hate on crypto, they just dont have any convincing arguments for people like us who dont want them controlling the money supply.
Crypto doesn't need Wall Street types to give it a bad name. It does that just fine on its own...
