how is this scored "-1". It's the correct answer.

"Eggs, specially the yolk, are a major source of dietary cholesterol,"

so? Dietary cholesterol isn't the cause of heart heart desease. It's like saying: ban fire trucks, at every fire we see fire trucks, so they must be responsible for the fires.

The study probably has problems with confounding factors: People who eat many eggs, ignoring dieteay advice, tend ot ignore other advice (like exercise, don't smoke and so on), which is the real reason for their higher/earlier death and disease events. This is just a guess, though. Didn't look.

The dietary heart hypothesis has been debunked. It was fake news by the seed oil industry. Read Nina Teichholz.

> Bitcoin is just one of many users of the technology.

Well, I usually say that blockchain's killer app is money. And bitcoin is the first blockchain-based money. Network effect is really important in money, so if Bitcoin doesn't fuck up (which is a possibility, yes) or get fucked up (which is a possibilty, yes) it will be more than one of many "users of blockchain tech". It'll be the money of the internet or maybe even the "people's money".

How is steamrolling a hard-drive (even if it is the proper original one, which I don't doubt) evidence of destruction of data at all?

There could be copies.

If, as an author or anyone else, want some data to be inaccessible after your death, just strongly encrypt it with a long password you don't write down anywhere. No need to put instructions into wills and trust poeple or anything like that.

There's clearly a need to decentralize these kind of services (social platforms in this case) to make them censorship resistant and privacy-preserving.

What are the efforts being worked on?

...then it's *your* speech.

I heard this part before... in the early nineties (just with earlier timepoint):

> Ninety percent of coding is taking some business specs and translating them into computer logic. That's really ripe for machine learning and low-end AI.

so who writes "some business specs"?

You might end up with flawless software. The flaws will be in the spec. Or the spec will be insufficient.

Creating software is mostly creating a good spec anyway (and establishing what the customer actually wants).

Bitcoin is digital cash. You lose it, it's gone. That's part of the design, a feature, not a bug. A feature I happen to like: double spend protection, no replacing of lost/stolen Bitcoins out of thin air.

There are, however, ways to protect funds from loss by stupidity (hd fail and no backup or misplaced pw, involuntary encryption maleware) and/or theft: Multisig can really help here.
 

> > Doesn't have to be more than a dollar worth, so it's not as bad when you lose them in case something goes bad.

> Well there's a ringing endorsement if I ever heard one.

> What you wrote is exactly why people like me are leery of crypto-currency...the whole "in case something goes bad" thing, which doesn't seem to ever happen when I deposit my money in a bank.

You wouldn't believe the amount of noobs complaining that "the price has dropped since I bought in, this wasn't supposed to happen" or "I forgot my wallet password, can you help me?". That's the most common "bad things" that can happen. That's why I suggest a very small amount to begin with so they can learn.

What "holes" you talk about are there in cryptocurrency?
Also: there is no clearinghouse or "bank" repository that can "get cracked"

honestly, I think you should "get your hands dirty" and play with some bitcoin or other crypto. Doesn't have to be more than a dollar worth, so it's not as bad when you lose them in case something goes bad.

Failed? What collapse? You must have be reading too much Mike Hearn or journalists who don't fact-check any more.

The ponzi is the fiat debt bubble.

Bitcoin is sound money.

I know this will get some of them hurt, killed or into worse drugs but they can buy them "on the street" like their parents have.

I like this idea.

What about multicast?

> just last week some guys were claiming that they're selling faster than they can produce them...

that's because they already had a huge stockpile and stopped production. Even 1 sale would mean "they sell faster than we produce them", then.

That depends largely on the quality of the game.

For a crap game you better give no demo out, for a good one you should.
