Stay up to date on all things crypto and blockchain

The problem with this is that they offer a way to pay (with lightning) for data that you can access completely free yourself right now.

​

Apart from this I completely disagree with parts of this article:

> Stewart went as far as to call traditional market data and API models “broken,” adding:

I agree, but:

> “We are using [the new APIs] to showcase that lightning allows [exchanges] to monetize things that are monetized at traditional exchanges. We are pushing the idea that lightning has a multitude of benefits when integrated into an exchange’s infrastructure that isn’t just related to withdrawals and deposits.”

Now you are breaking crypto market data: the big difference in crypto trading is that all trading is transparent and freely accessible, paying for data is one of the things that's broken about traditional markets.

This is why I love Bitcoin, no shitty tokens, always Bitcoin.

Crypto is definitely the future of finance.

Nice.

Now that is news!

The real crypto

You're all missing the point of him including this on his platform. It's included as feel-good fluff to get him elected. If he does get elected, he'll do absolutely zero to see that it happens (not that I think it's a good idea in the first place).

Can the government just stay out of it? Waste of tax dollars for them to be fucking around with the NCAA like that.

1. Who?

2. Glad to see him tackling the important issues.

3. No seriously, who?

To be fair, there literally is not a person he doesn't want to give money to.

Where the fuck does this guy think all of this money is gonna come from?

This will KILL small ncaa sports like soccer or swimming.

Just allow them to benefit off their image. That solves that. Next?

Isn’t a free education their payment?

I’m sorry but that’s so stupid

His big platform is Universal basic income...so he wants to pay errrrbody

The moment that passes is the moment college sports cease to be college sports. You're just creating a semi pro league and then the next push will be to pay high school and juco players.

Even if the NCAA made it legal to pay players, lets not act like they wouldnt still slip them money ontop of that to beat out other schools since there would most definitely be a cap.

. Alumni and viewers chose this system where you are proud of your former college and competition. Instead of propping up colleges, you should have been hassling the nba and nfl to invest in a proper minor league and require these pro teams to have youth academies for those that want to go pro. Instead, you’ve propped up this hybrid system where college is important of course but making people that don’t want to be there attend as well to get into pros and can’t pay them

As long as the schools themselves don't pay the athletes, I'm down.

This guy's campaign is such a meme, I love it

So he is running for NCAA president?

All I care about is buying NCAA 2020 for XBOX.

Lol

Who is going to pay for this?

Raising taxes? Good luck with that - political suicide

Alumni donations? Most donations are earmarked for specific causes i.e. that rich alumni may be cool paying for a stadium renovation, but he might not donate money to pay some volleyball player's salary.

Revenue from the athletic department? Most athletic departments are already losing money

Raising tuition? College is already expensive as a mofo

I just don't see this happening

He's come to the startup hub / co-working space where I "work from home" a couple of times in the past year or so. Next time he's here, I'll have to ask him about this.

1 Cookie-cutter populist please.

So long as schools have teams and stadiums are full i don’t care if players are payed. I honestly see both sides of the argument.

Who the fuck is Andrew Yang?

Who the fuck is this guy?

Who?

Well I guess we know he's not gonna win.

Nothing new. Really?

Half of you think I’m describing Donald Trump. The other half, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I guarantee you that far more than half of the people who would read this article are thinking Trump. Other than a few libertarians, people who would think Ocasio-Cortez don't read things like this.

Article shows the influence of information abundance causes the shifts we are seeing in society today. Its well writen and gives compelling arguments in a detailed way.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

I don't think the music was lost but rather it is an "accident" that saves them money by no longer having to stream music. The current owners probably make little money off the site.

Alright I'll do it. I'll lead us to kings..oh yeah, oh yeah, I'll really fucking lead us to kings...

Your time has passed old man, move aside.

We’ve known they are working on something crypto related for a very long time now. Of course they need to employ capable ppl.

Lets bombard them with applications

part 1 here https://blog.unchained-capital.com/bitcoin-data-science-pt-1-hodl-waves-7f3501d53f63

Part 2 Bitcoin’s Carboniferous Period some interesting data and insight into old coins moving or not moving.

A conservative lower bound for the amount of lost BTC is the cohort of coins mined in 2009–2011 by Satoshi and the first miners that remain unspent to this day: 1.9M BTC. This is about 2/3 of the BTC in the current >5 years age band. There are certainly many more Bitcoins which were lost in the intervening years since 2011, but can this amount be quantified?

I love this series. Can't wait for part 3.

The actual mark of the Beast is 6, 3 time 6. Just a mathematical computation I guess. Just like cryptography, a mathematical computation. You got into bitcoin, made a wallet on your phone, and your left hand is where I believe you might hold it. You gave that wallet a NIP, right? Something you keep into memory of your brain, somewhere behind your forehead. That's where I keep mine. So yeah! Implant or not, you have been marked all along...

We all know in biblical terms, money is the actual "BEAST". That beast that has taketh a fatal wound to the head, but lives on. My question is how can a beast, something pertaining to life, take a fatal blow, but live on?

Time for wisdom, the beast is not a live entity, but a changing one! The beast that takes the fatal blow is FIAT. The beast that lives on is CRYPTO! This is the reason we write the 666, mathematical computation bit.

However, thank you for noticing that we are in the "END TIMES", after all 666 is part of the Apocalypse or the Revelations chapter. The wealthy Fiat people are not going to give up on their riches, Fiat will be taken out swiftly, I guess we can say, like a blow to the head. Then crypto will take shape!

We are type 0 civilization, get ready for the coming of type 1. The death of Fiat will take many with it, careful not to get caught in the crossfire. It is good to see this coming and never to forget that you are foremost Human to Cyborg! ;-)

So not based on tangible facts, just gazing at the stars and divining the future?

I recently found this paper. I'm really struggling to make sense of it and was wondering if anyone would mind explaining it like I'm 5

where would be a good place to download some ahead of the ban?

Only perverts want privacy I shit proudly with the toilet door open.

Sod austerity, Labour just need to use this to win the next general election.

The porn ban is completely useless, Just because all UK ISP’s Blocked porn sites doesn’t mean someone in the UK who is a minor can’t access porn. They could just get a VPN, change their IP Address and then they could access the porn sites. If a teen from Australia could get past an Australian $70 Million+ Porn ban, the minors of the UK can get past this block easily

I feel like the only one who doesn't care about this. Reddit is full of porn, twitter is full of porn, if I want to go to pornhub I type "pornhub proxy" into google and there we go.

The fucks behind this "block" aren't competent enough to enforce it properly

Repeal the Porn Laws!

Wait I thought we were supposed to be the prudes - American

This has TM's fingerprints all over it; this, and her Snooper's Charter, are her reasons for existence.

She might even sacrifice BrekShit for it.

This makes me think if the AgeID system doesn't store information about one's identity, what stops users from sharing their logins on the closed forums?

Isn't that defeating the purpose of the reform? Sounds like the law has been specifically designed to benefit few companies and if that is not a corruption that what it is?

Welcome to China

I have my VPN and bottle of lotion ready

Take that Brussels bureaucrats!

I hope someone leaks the porn preferences of every. Single. Brexiteer.

Also, the people responsible for this law in the first place.

The government mandating the creation of databases explicitly linking people with their internet traffic, with the express purpose of monitoring it is just astonishingly dangerous. It’s not even ambiguous.

The system will be run by private entities dealing with other businesses and I 100% guarantee that this will be breached. Russia, China, and other countries and adversaries will be all over hacking this and they’d be stupid not to.

Anybody who supports this is either 100% misinformed, so authoritarian they’ve completely lost touch with reality, or just stupid beyond words.

Is this real? This is genuinely mind boggling

Some serious questions on this -

Presumably this will "block" (VPN, etc aside) the "big name" porn websites, but the hundreds of random smaller sites won't be registered?

Also, what about sites that have plenty of porn content, but are not principally porn websites? Reddit is a prime example - hundreds of NSFW subs but I best the vast majority of "Redditors" (is that the right term?) don't use it principally for porn. Same goes for the likes of 4Chan, and loads of video aggregate sites.

I can't wait for the inevitable data breach so we can see what these Tory freaks are into

How exactly are the British government going to enforce this nonsense? There is porn everywhere on the internet and you literally can't police the web. The tech to counteract this bullshit will steam far ahead of whatever the government can create to block it. This will just end up as another costly Tory mistake.

People are going to blame Brexit. It's going to be hard to persuade them otherwise.

And thus, everyone started using TOR.

This is your brain on conservatism.

Aside from the sickening thought of there being a database with everyone's passports and porn habits on it, the appalling invasion of privacy this represents, and the transparent effort on the government's part to incrementally tighten their control over the internet and its users, this is only going to cause damage to the people it ostensibly aims to protect. Trying to say no one wants to view porn until they turn 18 is absurd. Making it impossible for anyone younger than that to do anything about their sexual urges is going to be psychologically damaging - and making anyone over 18 have to buy an actual porn pass from a newsagent's is just vile.

I will personally pay someone to hack theses systems in order to expose every member of parliament's kinky obsessions.

Everyone knows TM is a fan of BBC.

just install a VPN. The snoopers charter was a good reason to, this is a great reason to.

zenmate / nordvpn are good ones, zenmate has a chrome plugin. I'm considering buying a hardware vpn to be sure.

I think the whole "privacy fear" concept is people basically assuming they are important enough for anyone to use their uninteresting data for something that is not targeted ads.

We are not that important to anyone, we are just numbers and companies have a way of verifying their users for a long time using their IDs.

This is a big thing because people fear their porn habits might lead to some issues, nobody really cares what porn you watch, Samuel, as long as it's the legal kind of porn.

Also, this is a step in the right direction, to make it harder for teens to watch porn they shouldn't watch. And I'm not referring to the regular porn anyone can see anywhere.

My opinion.
