99% of people investing in cryptocurrencies have extremely limited knowledge of cryptography.

However, a lot of innovations in cryptography these days come from cryptocurrency world. Aggregated signatures, ZK applications, etc.

Excellent example. My first thought when I hear the word "camera" is a bunch of sensors on the back of my phone... so maybe sands will shift again, and we'll have "dedicated camera".

Language is an ever-shifting sand. Some years ago crypto meant cryptography, and "cryptocurrency" had to be used in full for people to understand. Now, positions have swapped. Cryptography is the one that needs to be spelled out in full.

It somewhat decently identifies the object drawn, but fails badly to actually find the identified object.

Facebook app, Instagram and Messenger are working for me.

I'd like to hear Microsoft's explanation for this "feature".

Despite benefiting tremendously from crpyto, I don’t believe this narrative.

The article mentions the core problem: being your own bank is a HUGE risk. I can accept that risk and deal with complex security mechanisms I have to maintain to both protect my own bank and keep it accessible. But a good security guide for crypto is 20-30 pages and requires serious cryptographic understanding. Currently, I can’t expect that from average users.

Everything can be solved over time. Social recovery wallets and user-friendly hardware might become mainstream. But I don’t see that happening in the next 5-6 years, and I fully expect CBDCs to be far along in that time. Then, countries will be a lot less motivated to promote crypto for the unbanked.

For transfers, Smart ID displays both recipient and amount. So that part can’t be easily MITM’d.

I never thought about this, but yes, I think it can be MITM'ed exactly as you described. Same attack can probably be performed on the web, where Smart ID is also a sign in method.

It's also very simplistic. In subject matter, in character archetypes, sometimes in acting, and most annoyingly, in editing (how it never trusts the viewer to remember what happened 25 minutes ago, so they show flashbacks to remind you).

The name wasn’t based on bees just because bees are respected. “Bičiulystė” (meaning friendship, using the same word Bičiulis) was usually a neighbor friendship with a particular purpose: to take care of bees communally.

In many cases, "animations on the web" has become Lottie animations. Or, at least, Lottie raises the bar for animation expectations.

I'd love to see two things:

- A decent free or one-time payment editor for Lottie (don't make me use AfterEffects)

- Perhaps a Lottie implementation using Web Animations API, if that is even possible.

So, China is the worst because of censorship (strictly controlled information), and US is in a bad spot because of too much misinformation (too little control on information).

I'm struggling to understand this "measurement".
