Until recently the Swiss National Bank was mostly concerned with pushing the franc down, they had the lowest rates in Europe (and after the recent raise they're still negative at -0.25%), after many years of this they've accumulated over a trillion USD in foreign reserves. Trading in the other direction and keeping CHF up should be fairly easy for them.

More likely to be sold or leased out, and the server is somewhere far away. Basically all telephony nowadays is VOIP, even if you have an old fashioned landline it'll be analog only at the last mile.

That is much more difficult, might require various unsupported hacks and for a truly robust solution you'd need two GPUs. For games having a Vulkan or DX12 (via DXVK) renderer, wine can be as fast as native Windows with almost none of the hassle. DOOM(2016) is a very good example.

Those are usually quite expensive. If HDMI requires 48Gb/s capable transceiver chips to be built into every TV, they will get really cheap very fast. It might not be a viable solution in the end, but it could work for some applications.

We would like to see that systemd upstream retrieves CVE's themself for their own bugs, even if its believed that its just a local DoS.

So not only they didn't notice this was exploitable, they also seem to think that a local DoS is not enough for a CVE or a public report. Excellent.

To block a certain hidden service on a relay you need to know what is the hidden service you are relaying data to (obviously), which completely defeats all anonymity - a 'first hop' relay would basically be able to make a list of all hidden services visited by clients connected to it.

They did two much more impressive demos[1][2] with this technology, including drawing complex geometry using only point sprites, on DX9(no compute shaders). It's remarkable that those five year old demos could easily do flows, shading and blending on milions of particles in real time, while this JS version starts dropping frames at 262K.

Unfortunately, there is no way to spend a multisig (or any other nonstandard) transaction besides using the createrawtransaction API. It would be really nice if somebody implemented a better(safer) interface for them - n-of-m transactions could seriously increase security in many scenarios, but it's hard to get them right.

Bitcoin will still need to be mined - the whole 'trust' system is built on it, just the block reward will be zero. Miners will then profit only from transaction fees, so either the fees will go up or difficulty will go down to adjust for smaller income from mining.
