Latter category is what we are going to discuss today — the most powerful characters to play right now. While there were some minor nerfs to the hero’s MS and Infest interaction with the Ancient Creeps, we feel like the sheer amount of HP…

One of the most fascinating problems that a computer scientist may be lucky enough to encounter is a complex sociotechnical problem in a field going through the process of digital transformation. For me, that was fish counting. Recently, I worked as a consultant in a subdomain of environmental science focused on counting fish that pass through large hydroelectric dams.

What is crypto mining on wheels, and how did Russian authorities discover it? A mobile cryptocurrency mining operation involves installing mining equipment, such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) or graphics processing units (GPUs), in portable units like trucks, vans or shipping containers. Mining equipment can be easily relocated to take advantage of inexpensive or unregulated electricity sources, often in remote or industrial areas. Unlike fixed mining farms, mobile setups avoid detection by frequently moving, bypassing electricity meters or directly accessing power lines. While these operations make it easier for illegal miners to participate, they create significant risks to energy infrastructure.In Pribaikalsky…

Bitcoin lenders are betting that tighter controls and clearer risk management can rebuild trust in a sector still haunted by the collapse of predecessors Celsius and BlockFi.Major Bitcoin lenders of the previous cycle imploded after turning user deposits into undercollateralized loans. When Bitcoin (BTC) prices fell and liquidity dried up, billions in customer funds were frozen or gone.But those implosions don’t prove that crypto-backed loans are doomed by design. The failures were largely the result of poor risk management rather than the model itself. Some platforms are now taking the right steps, such as overcollateralization, while enforcing stricter liquidation thresholds,…
