I'm sure you're right.
However, my wife, a child psychologist, doesn't agree with you.

I have two kids, 6 and 3. They've had their own tablets since they were on year old. We put no limit on the amount of time they spend on them.
The future is not the same as your own youth.
"does this also mean that remaining crypto-coins can be instantly discovered?"
No, that's not how the minting of new coins work, at all.
There are theoretical issues where someone might learn your private key from seeing a transaction, but they're mitigated for all new addresses and usage.
While I'm sure it wasn't the GPs intention, "effect" also works in that sentence.
effect can also be used as a verb to mean to produce or to cause to come into being
“It is helping to save the Small Aral sea,” says FitzGerald. “But it was also a death warrant to the Big Aral, on the Uzbek side. People on the Uzbek side are very angry about it. The dam shut the only source of water that was entering their sea.”
The viking farms were not under ice.
"What does seem to have contributed to the abandonment of the Western Settlements, archaeologists said, is climate change. The onset of a ''little ice age'' made living halfway up Greenland's coast untenable in the mid-1300's, argues Dr. Charles Schweger, an archaeology professor at the University of Alberta, who has studied soils around the Farm Beneath the Sand.
Dr. Schweger said the Norse were no match for cooling temperatures, which caused a glacier several miles up a valley to expand. As this glacier grew, it also released more water every summer into the valley, causing turbidity in drinking water and raging floods that blanketed meadows with sand and gravel. Today the edge of Greenland's ice cap is only six miles from the old farm site. But in the mid-14th century, it probably was far closer."
It's not a myth.
My prosopagnosia is pretty severe (had a medical event in 1998, applies to everyone I've met after, none I met before) - and while I mostly do the same I still really long for the pretty AR glasses with cameras that will give me back the same capabilities that I had (and others have).
I don't know about moron - I happen to know very well about those mining centres in Iceland and Sweden for example. I do like my facts a bit sourced though.
The country accounts for more than two-thirds of the world’s processing power devoted to bitcoin mining.

These mining companies started making contingency plans earlier this year to move their operations to other countries. I do not see a sudden drop of 66% of the hash rate, no.
A Beijing-based mining firm told Quartz in November that it is scouting for backup options in Sweden and Canada for the tens of thousands of mining machines it currently operates in Xinjiang

Yeah all countries with access to cheap hydroelectric as well as cold outdoors temperatures.
Huge mining operations are already up and running, and more planned, in Canada, Iceland, Sweden and Russia. This will not disrupt Bitcoin.
I don't think it's patched.
From the description (regarding the kernel slide part only):
The technique explained below has for some reason stopped working on macOS High Sierra 10.13.2. I don’t know why and I didn’t bother to investigate, but the IOHIDFamily vulnerability is still there all the same. So while the hid binary in its current state will only work up to 10.13.1, you could just patch together hid and leak to get everything working on 10.13.2 - or even write a mach-port-based exploit out of leak, I hear mach ports are the real deal.
The monorail is nice, I've used it several times. Last time we stayed in an airbnb at the very north end of the monorail.
However, the solution to the problem is obvious. Extend it to the airport.
(The reason that doesn't happen is that Vegas doesn't want to anger all the cab drivers
No, you could not. The only reason Bitcoin solves the famous Byzantine Generals' problem is due to the amount of work that goes into its Proof of Work.
