Others, however, are not as comfortable with the relatively new currency. The first ever single-family home sale in Texas involving bitcoin was announced last month. The buyer, who works in the tech industry, purchased the newly built home in Austin using bitcoin, but the seller, a custom homebuilder, wanted the currency converted to dollars during the transaction.
This article is from 2017 I'm sure if I searched for more I'd find more examples but regardless is buying a house really the final test of something's potential as a currency?

"Our buyer has evolved, they've moved from mom and pops to young people who want to pay with various forms of payment," said Ben Shaoul, president of Magnum Real Estate Group. "Cryptocurrency is something that has been asked of us — 'Can you take cryptocurrency? Can we pay that way?' — and of course when somebody wants to pay you with a different form of payment, you're going to try to work with them and give them what they want, especially in a very busy real estate market."
For me I'm just after a simple pure text knowledge-base.
Currently I use vuepress https://vuepress.vuejs.org/
The positives with vuepress for me were:
* Plain Markdown (With a little bit of metadata)
* Auto generated search (Just titles by default)
* Auto Generated sidebar menus
The negatives:
* No automatic site contents, I mostly use the search to move around docs
* Search is exact not fuzzy
* The menu settings are in a hidden folder
I will sometimes begin to type in Dvorak unconsciously if I am on a laptop keyboard that feels similar to my personal laptop. As soon as I see the mistaken letters coming out I switch back without any effort.
Whilst commanding someone to fix it should be the last resort most people with voice activation would rather the setup work for everyone in the server so they can keep using it.
On my setup for example I had a desk mic which sat on my wooden desk. People had to point out to me that there were sudden sharp noises coming from my mic. Eventually it was isolated to my mouse hitting the desk and vibrating up the base into the mic. I placed the mic on a bit of foam and everyone was happy. These types of activations are not picked up during self testing easily.
I think i should move :P
In the end there is no way to stop someone just "dubbing" the video manually if there are a million software blocks in place, If you can see it you can steal it, Is the way media goes.
All the anti-piracy protections hurt more consumers who pay than the pirates who won't be worried by it once they have it.
However more to the point, Torrenting would be a wonderful alternative especially if it was made aware to the users that by leaving it streaming they'd HELP the BBC, It'd make for great content distribution.
I come from a world where "10Gig!" is a "extreme plan" and the largest cap is 80gig, Which costs 130NZD or 607.092087 Swedish kronor (So says my converter)
3D enhanced video sounds great! but all these technologies really won't be loading more than 3-6 streams of data at once, which we can keep up with easily.
It's just that choking bandwith doesn't cause any loss of customers until the competition offers better..at least that's how it is here
(NZ)
But i get it, there are huge files, But i still think we can keep up.
EG, There are only so many ways to display spam to someone, And if we aren't seeing it it's going to stop.
But there will always be a way to share information, and it's the end user that cares they don't mind how they get it so it wont be stopped.
How is it that computer networks will override moore's law? Either networking is inherently too costly on CPU/Hardware Or someone miscalculated that with a rise in computer power the networking infrastructure also rises in power..
Also using Youtube as an example for "clogged tubes" is silly, Youtube is clogging their own tubes (Ours too but only because we're not keeping up in rolling out new networks) Think of delivery via means like Bittorrent (no that doesn't instantly mean piracy) But rather as a protocol for distribution and even streaming media..More efficent so it makes the youtube costs much smaller and the overall load more distributed.
There is a maximum amount of traffic that could flow on the internet currently, but theoretically we will one day have a limit to our consumption above 1080p we might only ever need 2k and so that will be video, text is too small to worry about and music will only change in quality to a few gigs per album, So what more could we transfer?
When you have a problem with a mac you can't fix it, 90% of the time the problems are hidden away and impossible to troubleshoot.
My first mac, Kernel panic when using "Internet sharing" You plug in the Ethernet and it was 100% guaranteed to happen every time I got no support. Cool one bad laptop ok!
So i get a second one, Macbook 15" and it builds up it's own little box of problems, Overall it's wonderful but it just always manages to pipe up a few little errors here and there, Crash sometimes and not support very simple things. I got 3 new logic boards (That's CPU/Motherboard/Graphics) All replaced and still had the same problems over and over, Either they didn't actually replace it or there was something very seriously wrong with my ram (Which was never replaced anyway and now is fine)
The whole bootcamp/windows/linux on a mac is bullshit, there are always problems, And you void your warranty if you remove OSX (Yes it's true I got refused repairs due to windows)
I wish I could replace this with a windows laptop.
Just look at adobe and their dedication to 64bit linux users, Because it was not open source people who could have made the software perfectly sat around waiting on them because there was simply nothing they could do.
Adobe is an alright company to me, But I think they hinge a lot of their goals on dominance rather than being feature rich and "liked"..
I'd love to see an open source Adobe/Flash initiative, That would really get things rolling, Because 40% of my cpu shouldn't go to showing a 400px video..
What about the Microsoft update domain.. And for that matter all automatic packaging systems
It is conceivable that if someone was to have enough access inside these services and then take over the domain they could cause havok!
But really that's just another alexa (:

"My app sells for 5$ with these features, Why add more when i can make another app that also sells for 5$?"
But of course I don't wish for a flame war, I understand there are many good developers on both sides, I just find this is a trend.
But very cool!
Google makes statements, They make browsers just to push the industry, Bid on the wireless frequencies to make them open to other devices.
Google is not amoral, they simply are easily spun out of context.
it's unlikely you'll get a good conversation in until they are bored
Got HTTP access? Tunnel a command to the server over HTTP and punch the ports
Of course if someone simply disallows access to the skype servers it breaks this approach, Or having a special NAT setup.
All and all hole punching is a cool subject.
