People are but criminals are less likely to do so. Without the money laundering usecase crypto is in for another winter.

And how does this disprove their point? I don’t think its the lines of code you write that allow you to decide whether or not you should roll your own crypto…

Isn’t writing Go for embedded systems kinda like eating soup with a fork tho? This language was designed to write multithreaded asynchronous code to power microservice meshes.

Imo if you’re reprompting you’re losing. If the agent oneshots the task its good but if it doesn’t manage it on the first try you will get there faster by doing it yourself.

I don’t think this is true at all. Maybe if you have an agent writing some of your code it will be 99% because its so verbose but I don’t think the modal software engineer is a vibecoder.

Most of this is googleable but there are thousands of traders that make sure the gold price is the same globally so nobody had to “move” their gold in the reverse for this trade to work.

The difference between London and the US is that the bars are of different size (12.5 vs 1kg).

An easy trick nowadays is to simply log out of the accounts. Most social media websites really want you to log in so they become unusable when you log out. Its a good defense in depth strategy.

Its also an interesting way to discover what that part of the brain is for, right.

The US doesn’t have this leverage either, Trump is just uniquely willing to hurt his own country for his own idiosyncrasies. It is pretty established at this point that Americans were the most hurt by his tariffs.
