I wouldn't worry about the blockchain size. When it gets too big to be truly distributed then we'll just have a few nodes instead managed by bigger firms. If it gets bigger still then each country will have a single node to manage the transactions. When it's centralised like that and in a single place it's easier to manage. When it gets bigger still Google will probably just look after the whole thing, and you'll just need to hope that anything you want to buy on-line aligns with their left-wing liberal politics or else the transaction will be denied due to unacceptable user policies.
Yep, it's the future.

Dorsey is a smart guy, which makes his assertion baffling. He did say that BitCoin would need modifications for his vision to be realized, but then it wouldn't be BitCoin.

Apparently selfies are popular.
With the common meme of selfie hating I guess that both selfies and selfie haters are common.
I don't care either way, but what tickle my curiosity the most is selfie haters.
Why the hate? Whey even care?
Please, enlighten me!

Not sure this makes for Insider news, but I'm a selfie-hater when said selfie interrupts what I'm doing. Case in point, went to a concert a few weeks ago, the people directly in front for me were taking selfies one after the other, the flash was freaking blinding. After a while I took to flipping the bird during said selfies as I was in most of the pictures. Within three or four pictures they gave up, resulting in a round of applause from the folks behind me. If you are not bothering me however, take as many as you want.

Not sure this is the correct forum for this.

Agree with the other posters: this is the wrong forum.
But on a related note, what's the deal with people calling any picture of a person or animal a "selfie", even when they clearly didn't take it?

If not KSS, as selfie affectionados, they should read this, anyway:
I hate the selfie phenomenon.
It's basically a form of public masturbation, with the intent of having the event, or at least its memory, shared with others.

The average website was attacked 44 times a day during the last quarter of 2017, according to new research from security specialist SiteLock. Now you know what it takes to aspire to greatness

What about above-average websites? And below-average?

They don’t get attacked. People only hack average sites.

This is a really good place (and probably quite instructive) to have not only the average (mean), but also the mode and the median reported.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics - "probably" one of the truest statements, ever.

Suppose, a litre of cola costs US$3.15. If you buy one third of a litre of cola, how much would you pay? Is this going to be on the test?
|
|
|
|
|
$3.15 because you can't just buy a third of that liter of cola. Plus, that very expensive cola.
