    [Finance] The cryptocurrency (Bitcoin etc) thread

    Proof of stake doesn't by itself increase the transactions per second, it just changes the method by which finality is reached (finality is the point at which people can say "it would cost $x for the data stored at this point in the chain to be altered"; as long as x is high enough the chain can...

    [Finance] The cryptocurrency (Bitcoin etc) thread

    Double spend protection is more of the "how" than the "why", though. (And blockchain's aren't immutable, that's a common misconception. What they have is a cost to alter history, which in most cases will exceed any costs that can be gained from carrying out the re-write and gives a high...

    [Finance] The cryptocurrency (Bitcoin etc) thread

    The basic "why" of cryptocurrencies is relatively easy to understand. Imagine you want to send someone £100. Unless you can meet them face-to-face and given them £100 in cash it will require sending the money via a third party (a bank, paypal, whatever). This is all well and good, except for...

    Full national lockdown (not education) 4/11 - 1/12 possible

    And 18 weeks after that the city that started with 10 cases would have more than the city that started with 10,000.

    [Albion] £14.95 to a Brighton foodbank instead - Monday PPV vs. West Brom.

    Would be great to have a sticky with the selected food bank to which we can donate. Suspect there will be lots of opportunities to do this through the season, so there can be a different one for each game.

    [Albion] Paul barber q&a matchday thread

    Given how pissed off he sounds in a public forum, can only imagine what he thinks in private.

    [Albion] Are you going to pay £14.95 to watch us vs WBA?

    Wondering about this whole "big teams are picked more often" thing. Although this has been true in the past, that's when the only options were "watch via subscription" or "don't watch" (or watch illegally, but I'll ignore that one). Now that the options are "watch via subscription" or "watch...

    [Albion] Possible return of fans to the Amex (incorporating the Q and A forum on 17th August)

    If you have a 30% chance to be selected for each match, your chance of being selected for all games is 30%^19, or about 1 in 8.5 billion. Conversely, as you have a 70% of not being selected for each match, your chance not being selected for any game is 70%^19, or about 1 in 877.

    [Misc] Probability problem

    The way I've always thought about it is: - you pick one door. The chance of having picked the door with the prize behind it is 1/3. - you now have two choices: either open the door you picked, or open both of the doors you didn't. It should be obvious that it makes more sense to open both...

    [Misc] Probability problem

    Not correct with the 50% bit. If there are 3 doors then you have a 1/3 chance of winning if you stick to your original choice and a 2/3 chance of winning if you switch your choice.

    Mine were delivered yesterday (thanks!) and passed a few around to friends and family today (at a safe distance). This has turned in to another 4 orders (and I'm going to have to re-order) so good news all round. One thing: as these are being hand-delivered it may make sense for Piglets to...
