1 kwh ranges from 0,15 to 0.16 €

25kwh * 0.16€ = 4€ (100 miles/160km)

My diesel ICE does ~5.5 l/100km (42.8 mpg) and diesel is at around 1.98€/l

8.8 l * 1.98€ = 17.43€

No. its' a second hand buy. maybe if purchased directly

> Could the police subpoena it?

it's also an import. probably any info is saved in a server somewhere in germany. Possibly yes, but which police ? in which country ?

There is no other indication on the license plate. just the numbers and letters.

I assume that expiry dates on US plates is related to either road tax or vehicle inspection

First we had the shitcoins wave when everybody and their doge forked bitcoin. Few of them survived

Then came the ICO era.

Now it's NFTs and "not banks" like Celsius and other companies that move token custody from on-chain to a "trust me bro" agreement.

"Do i loose control of my tokens at any point ?" - on this Defi era, this is the most important question to ask before depositing your tokens in a contract

There are four lights

if the code is not available, very likely you will not have permission to use it.

Don't see a legal usage of this kind of tool in a commercial context. Pretty useful as a learning too though

The choice of rsa2048 is probably because of the card specs. it couldn't handle 4096 keys (this was maybe 10+ years ago) from what i've read at the time

The Portuguese EU id card (probably like all other EU id cards) can be used access multiple government web services. There is also a mobile app to go along with it.

The card contains 2 tls certificates (rsa 2048 bits) and are pin protected (signing operations).

One is used for authentication (there is a public api available IIRC), the other is used for signing (that digital is considered a legally binding signature)

Not sure about the mobile app but i assume the same functionality without the inconvenience of owning a card reader

Vending machines that sell things for 18+ like smoking papers and lighter are required to have a card reader to verify the buyer age

This article is about phishing in the context of cryptos.

Silent signing doesn't happen (unless there is some kind of bug in metamask). the user is always presented with the contract address and call data (the args to the contract call)

> The data will have to be created by apps that are going to be coded by tech companies.

Nobody is stopping you from building apps

> What is from stoping them from adding data to the blockchain in a proprietary format?

Nothing. Plenty of companies use proprietary formats. You can choose to use the company's product or not. On the web3 ecosystem there is code available, at least for bigger and legit projects

Also what are the "core promises". Can you be more specific on that?

This can be either true or false depending on what is your understanding of how blockchains work and what benefits it brings.

Some people will understand it as "some data will be on-chain and all or most businesses will do it", other might understand it as "every bit of info will be on a public blockchain"

Blockchains are very inefficient "databases" in the general sense of a database (and also expensive). They are only used because of the security characteristics. Only data that needs to benefit from those characteristics should go there.

half agree with that. PoW is the most efficient method of converting raw energy into a digitally secure token. It would be much better if the work done was actually useful beyond that.

Some attempts have been done in the past, but with low success (Riecoin IIRC uses cpus to find sequences of primes, GridCoin used BOINC for the PoW, proof-of-boinc in that case).

There is still work to be done on EVM chains. Contract calls need to be processed and verified by every (full) node

probably why there is so many instances of banks getting caught laundering money for criminal organizations by the billions

> They are heavily audited and have strict rules about speculation.

you can audit blockchains. you can't audit a bank's database and have to way for the next panama papers leak
