It was not the last supper but a representation of the greek god Bacchus, since of course the Olympics have a greek origin. I find it funny that christians got so triggered.

I see this as a parenting failure, honestly. You're not supposed to just let your kid watch whatever without supervision IMHO. If you can't control what your kids watch, don't give them iPads!

Does the GDPR still apply to the UK after Brexit? I thought it was a EU law.

Yeah but I think the point is that users should have a choice, then of course they are free to choose whatever they like - in your case Edge.

Not sure why you are downvoted. On average, that statement is correct.

There have been attempts at using the technology for other stuff. Just off the top of my mind: loyalty programs (see Starbucks), logistics as in international shipping, traceability, remittance, etc.
But none of them achieved the widespread adoption that was expected.

It’s a great example of the patience necessary before [an event of that scale happens] in the blockchain consumer enterprise world.” What is going to be blockchain technology's ChatGPT?

Funny to see the downvotes but no comments...

Blockchain technology can help companies, involved in international trade, overcome real challenges by making several time and resources consuming processes easier: > Two of the biggest challenges in international trade are the ability to authenticate or verify the identity of international parties across the trade transaction lifecycle and and the ability for parties to establish trust in various steps of the international trade transaction. > The characteristics of the blockchain, specifically immutability and transparency create a unique opportunity to leverage digital identities for companies in cross-border transactions. What are then the reasons why the technology hasn't achieved widespread adoption yet?

Cash is used to buy most illegal shit. Which doesn't mean we should abolish cash. And if you can't see the risks in governments and corporations tracking every little expense of yours, well you have a very low threat model. But don't assume that anonymous transactions and tools are only useful to criminals, because minorities, journalists and whistleblowers use them every day to avoid prosecution under authoritarian governments.

I hope this gets all the press it deserves.
Zero-knowledge proof is one of the most active development spaces of the whole industry. This news is quite fresh: > Ethereum zero-knowledge proof scaling system zkSync Era has unveiled its answer to Optimism’s Superchain concept in the form of ZK Stack. > It’s a modular framework for a series of ZK-powered custom blockchains called Hyperchains, which will operate as a new layer on top of the existing layer-2 protocol.
I think we need more of this (real life use cases) and less get-rich-quick *cryptobro* talk in the space: >Polygon [MATIC], one of the largest Web3 networks, announced the launch of an open database consisting of use cases for blockchain technology. >Web3 experts and big players in the space feel there is a greater need to bring out the positive applications for blockchains. They want to pitch it as a general-purpose technology, rather than only seeing it as a medium for facilitating asset trading. >Referred to as “The Value Prop”, the database hosts a catalogue of more than 300 applications and a number of use cases spread across different business verticals, blockchain networks, and geographies.
>Blockchain and Web3.0, both pillars of the next generation digital economy, are spotlighted as integral parts of the city's digital transformation strategy. By prioritizing these technologies, Shanghai aims to position itself at the forefront of digital innovation and economic growth.
>Blockchain tech company ConsenSys, represented by lawyer Bill Hughes, has formally objected to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the redefinition of a securities "exchange". >ConsenSys contends that the amendments proposed by the SEC would be unlawful if finalized in their current form, as they are intended to apply to blockchain protocols. They allege that the reopening release fails to rectify key legal deficiencies in the proposed amendments, misinterprets the term "exchange" as per the '34 Act, and inappropriately aims to redefine exchanges in order to strengthen the registration of broker-dealers.
>Polygon Labs has pointed out that the new rule would be logistically unworkable, given the structure of blockchain technology. They highlight that the numerous independent validators of blockchain transactions cannot practically coordinate to register as an exchange, and these validators, by design, don't control DeFi protocols.
