It is scary to an extent. In fairness, human contracts and laws can be ambiguous and have loop holes too. Many people sign contracts without actually reading them. Some of them get burned badly because of that. I think smart contracts have their place, but the technology is just a little too new yet.

Do these Blockchain enthusiasts not understand how buggy software is? 
What could possibly go wrong? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
'$300m in cryptocurrency' accidentally lost forever due to bug
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wow!
From the article...
Quote: “We are analysing the situation and will release an update with further details shortly,” Parity told users.
Hard fork
Some are pushing for a “hard fork” of Ethereum, which would undo the damage by effectively asking 51% of the currency’s users to agree to pretend that it had never happened in the first place.
Wonder if they ever resolved it?
After reading the first 3 chapters of this book I mentioned I at least understand what the "hard fork" solution means. I wouldn't have known otherwise.

The whole thing is too abstract for me to trust with my assets. I like contracts I can, at least in theory, print and read. I hope blockchain keeps fading away. To me it is a dark figure in an alley on the bad side of town.

Tricky! I was working on "cave trips" = "potholing" - which was definitely not helping!

The only potholes on this side of the pond are found in the middle of roads!

We have both. But spelunking in the ones in the middle of the roads is not recommended.

Some of ours are big enough for that, though!

Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine approved by UK regulator | HeraldScotland[^]
This is the -80C storage one, so it's going to be a PITA to distribute, but the Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines are likely to be approved shortly, and they are much more "storage friendly".
Not wanting to get any hopes up, but there could be a small light at the end of the tunnel here. Witha bit of luck, it's not an oncoming train ...

Does it mean that the UK regulator works faster, or less care?

I seriously doubt that it's "works faster"! The most likely explanation is that the UK Government is either bribing or blackmailing someone at the MHRA - because they would probably do anything to get themselves out of this sh!thole.

Despite the conspiracy theorists  they have actually streamlined the process. It was long due a review anyway

If it's effective in UK, the world will follow.

I'm thinking of a Dilbert punchline -- "Change is good. You go first."
I understand the rush to get vaccines in place, but I'll watch how things go. My wife and I follow the protocols and I've got my fingers crossed.
