You would think then that the same logic would apply to something like SWIFT, but alas "SWIFT itself does not monitor or control the messages that users send through its system and recognises that all decisions on the legitimacy of financial transactions under applicable regulations rest with the financial institutions handling them, and with their competent international and national authorities."

There have to be some limits to how big of a burden the government can put on people in the name of stopping money laundering, the current AML model has huge costs, in financial terms but also in terms of the invasion of privacy - if you've ever had to pass a more stringent AML check, you know how invasive and dehumanizing that is.

And it's not even working, estimates put the effectiveness of the current AML regime at less than 1% of money laundering being detected.

Stopping crimes should be the job of the police.

You wouldn't happen to know how to prevent the tantrum from happening? It's been driving me nuts

I've had some success with JustWatch https://www.justwatch.com/ As far as ratings go, you can 'like' or 'dislike'

Smart contracts are a bad paradigm for developing applications on the ledger, they're far too permissive, the stakes are too high to want to trust your assets to arbitrary turing-complete code.

You can do much better with composable state machines, because everything you do gets the same level of security as the native token transfers https://www.radixdlt.com/post/radix-engine-a-simple-secure-s...

You reabsorb the beam which now has even more energy because it's been blue-shifted, which means you can actually charge your batteries as well as accelerate.

I've used it for a few professional freelance projects back when I was just starting out during high school/university. The projects typically involved communicating with an Arduino running some physical hardware and displaying some info on a screen/doing very simple control flow (an interactive installation in a conference).

It's great for that kind of a simple thing, but starts to fall apart when you need to do more advanced user interaction - you have to build a lot of stuff from scratch, or at least you had to back then. Also I feel that a lot of the primitives have been optimized for ease of learning rather than what's best for professional code.

It would still be my go-to tool for similar Arduino based projects that just need a quick simple good-looking interface.

Pretty neat - quantum computing has been an interest of mine for a while, but up to this point I had only watched lectures about the theory behind it, it's interesting to see how it might be done in practice. Wish there was more content though, this didn't really give me any insight about what kinds of computations might be done with this

I have a Ninebot One S2 that I used to commute about 2km daily, but now that I live right next to my office I only ride it recreationally. It has quite a steep learning curve, but it's so much fun once you get good, it feels like magic riding on a single wheel. It's about the most compact powered transportation device you could make

Radix aims to be quick and cheap enough to be a viable option for this https://www.radix.global/ They can even support off the shelf POS terminals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMw7hQ6x2f0

Reading this made me profoundly sad, in the best possible way
