The real difference is that because of how ponzicoins a court order to release the funds to the heirs can't be enforced. Unless someone can crack the password they're effectively gone forever even though they're still formally on the ledger.
It's sort of like this, except it would be the banker that died with the keys to the bank, meaning the holders who are still alive are unable to withdraw their funds. I guess it's a lesson that we should all be careful where we store our valuables.

Big changes are coming to the Go community in 2019. Do we get $200 if we pass it?

It’s a combination of things, but mostly it’s a shift in focus. They've already killed it?
That might sound a little harsher than I intended.

Almost everything "killer" that ms had has been emasculated and had its teeth pulled.
There's only VS left, and they've started work on "fixing" that.

I think you are totally wrong...
The are still rolling out killer features.
Actually every new rollout is killing the patience and the trust of their customers and hence slowly killing his primary business.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

They're working on open source Windows Core OS

Speaking at the Enigma security conference in Burlingame, California, last week, the researcher at UC Berkeley's International Computer Science Institute characterized bitcoin and its many follow-on digital currencies as energy-sucking leeches with no redeeming qualities. Their chief, if not only, function, he said, is to fund ransomware campaigns, online drug bazaars, and other criminal enterprises. I guess that's one less investor in my new DailyNewsCoin idea

While it’s important to possess the technical skills necessary to perform your job, there are a number of soft skills that can set you apart and help you succeed. I'm pretty plush, does that count?

Containers and Kubernetes are great, but they didn't have a native integrated development environment… until now. File > New Container?
The bad news? Based on Eclipse.

It's not something to buy into, because we all know, deep down, that the Kubernetes will eventually be kicked out by Dr Who.

Researchers in New Zealand are looking for the owner of a USB thumb drive that was discovered in a frozen seal turd—specifically, that of an Antarctic leopard seal. "Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore"
Personally, I wouldn't have tested it. At least not on *my* laptop.

I'm not sure if I feel more disgusted or impressed. The thumb drive passed through the digestive track of an Antarctic leopard seal and it still works!

Musta been USB 2. Since it was a leopard seal it was probably easy to spot...

I wish they'd published the brand of the device. I've yet to find an unbiased reliability test of USB drives, but this one pretty much seals it.

I don't know if that's a good idea. The competitors might say that the brand stinks.

People around the world and in the U.S., Germany, France and Belgium, in particular, are experiencing increased levels of online civility, data from a new Microsoft research study show. Are you elephanting sunshines serious?

This is real.
A certain person who lives in a certain-coloured house is making such a show of what negative and deceptive behaviour does that the zeitgeist is moving in the opposite direction, out of the knowledge that we can all behave that way -- and the realisation that we don't want to be like that.
We need to wall such behaviour in. Anyone got 5.7 milliard dollars I can borrow?

I've actually heard a "tinfoil-hat" idea about this: "It's a ploy by Microsoft to make their next Tay not go completely racist within seconds."
Another alternative was that Tay was turned off a few years ago, and Zo is very strictly told "not to use those words"! So all they're measuring is their own chatbots causing less offensive language than before.

If your username and password were part of a hack, Password Checkup will let you know. So can I: "yes" (or it will be shortly)
Not that this extension makes me nervous at all. I mean what harm could there be in giving all your user IDs and passwords to Google?
