Shilling LINK again because this is the first time I've been on Sup Forums in months and I'm amazed you guys don't know much about it yet:
Companies have all sorts of contracts for all sorts of things (obviously) but the legal system never works like it's supposed to. Let’s say you agree a contract to sell a table, say, for $20 next week. You give the guy the table but next week he doesn’t pay. Are you really going to take the buyer to court even though he legally owes you the money?
This kind of thing happens on a huge scale between companies. If they do decide to go to court it's expensive and wastes time. Usually, the side who’s owed money settles out of court for much less than they’re owed.
This is where smart contracts come in. Smart contracts are basically code that executes a contract when conditions are met. An example might be “I'll buy $100 of bonds if the base interest rate hits 1%”.
Once agreed, a smart contract will execute as written, no matter what. No one can fuck each other over once the contract is agreed (unless they BOTH agree).
What’s more, the contract is stored on a blockchain and so can’t be interfered with without hacking 51% of the nodes (this is practically impossible).
But there is another attack vector for smart contracts. Returning to the $100 for bonds example above, I could hack the input to the contract to (falsely) tell the contract that the interest rate is now 1%. The smart contract sees this and executes when it's not supposed to. The security of the contract is only as strong as the weakest link, which in this case is the input (also called an oracle).
Chainlink (LINK) solves this problem by decentralizing the oracle – i.e. the information that goes into the contract. It means smart contracts can't be falsely triggered via the attack vector I described above.
And the bond example is just one of millions of use cases.

Tomorrow, so you should buy now.
This post contains forward looking falsehoods. These falsehoods have not been checked by any regulatory authority, but if they had been the regulatory authority would say they were bullshit. The great thing about blockchain that's going to make everyone rich is that governments cannot regulate it at all, so nobody can sue anyone else for stealing their money using it. That's why you really should invest in it. Or are the smegma-encrusted tool of the federal reserve?
I've already bought into BTC and hold XLM and LINK, but both are influenced heavily by BTC at the moment and my bags are exceedingly fucking heavy. I can't afford any more BTC

You have to pay 50 cents because - get this - you pay 50 cents more. Maybe try voting with your wallet, sweetie, instead of REEEing for legislation like an authoritarian retard.
Parker Harris
Well basically half the island is fathered by Royal Marines and nobody actually knows their names so they just make it up as they go along now.
something in the water quite simple really, it's almost always patronymic with a few matronymic cases here and there
so if your father's name is John and your mother's name is Janet and they decide to call you John, your full name will be John Johnson alternatively they could use your mother's name and you could be called John Janetson, but that's really all there is to it
in some cases such as mine you can swap out your surname for a family name and skip the -son and -dottir bullshit, it's much cooler imo
Christian Morris
All is well. No work till Monday so I'm surfing Sup Forums and getting blerry gargled every night. And how is life in the old country?
Christopher Wright
does dottir mean daughter?
There are lots of names that end with dottir
Brayden Rivera
>does dottir mean daughter? yup
Lucas Parker
>that ID
Joshua Phillips
So wait you could have two siblings, one a son one a daughter, and they could be like Bjornsson and Helgadottir?
Doesn't that get fucking confusing as shit? I'm struggling to see how it doesn't become really common for people to have the same exact name or how people tell that two siblings are from the same family.
Luke Jackson
I took more notice of the "ALe" bit, frankly. Cheers!

No way. Do you have a cute sister? Does she have the same last name as you?

I'm talking more about cousin/cousin incest which happens all the time at social gatherings, unbeknownst to both parties involved

>white farmer or just behind a VPN Neither. I live in Harare, still white though. I think I was on a Brit/pol/ last night. Not quite sure though. I get called a "PROXYFAG" on every thread so I think I'll take to just posting on Brit/pol/ threads here on in to be frank. Fucking bought a Goddamn pass due to being unable to post on this fucking website and I get treated like shit.

Aahahahah no fucking way. Doesn't that naming system mean it gets pretty hard to track your family though? Go back like 5 or 6 generations and it must be pretty hard to sift through all those names, whereas some in this thread even have tracked their family to a medievil or even earlier origin and are still named after that.
definitely not officer
Hunter Edwards
Surely not as bad as how the local populace treats you. Have there been any chimpouts since Mugabe got shoah'd?
Christian Lopez
There was a protest in Bulawayo the other day but it didn't last very long. No real riots or happenings. Folks that favour Tsvangirai are trying to organize (albeit, poorly, mind). I was on the horn with old Eddie Cross two days ago about an MDC-T revival; I'm hopeful.
Jeremiah Edwards
>Doesn't that naming system mean it gets pretty hard to track your family though? without a doubt, unless you have a family name in which case you can easily tell if someone's related to you
otherwise you're going to end up in a situation like one of my friends where you french someone at a party and then meet said person at a family reunion

Brit/pol/ is looking real diverse right now

Funny story but it reminds me of that phenomenon where siblings who never know they are siblings tend to be very attracted to each other if they meet by coincidence in life.
There was a programme on about it a while ago, I can't find it by googling but it was saying how for some reason people are often attracted to family members, when they don't know that they are blood related. lol
Jonathan Taylor
Probably because people buy those cards more often than the corresponding cards so the analytics advised an increase in price. But now Parliament is going to pass a law mandating price equality between similar valentines cards because womyn.

I'm still a Briton (at least in spirit). Had real grievances with the lot in the 90's (the way dad taught me) but as I mature, I grow in a greater admiration for the UK and Her Britannic Majesty.
The pic attached is a little ancestry bit I made for a thread last Summer; I edited it since dad passed on.

Kek always thought this. If you need anyone, that being your mum or Jordan Peterson to clean your room you’re just a scruffy cunt.
>Torygraph article from 2016 >Some 60 per cent of companies expect to increase revenues in 2017 against 15 per cent expecting them to fall.
Keep in mind that 2016 was a rocky year for Britain, as a result of the brexit vote. Assuming 2017 will be better is not necessarily unwise - and is not the same as 'we will make a success of brexit', as it includes businesses which assume brexit won't happen, businesses which assume brexit will crush them in 2018 or 2019 (remember, A50 wasn't even triggered until March 2017!) but that 2017 will be fine, and businesses that assume that the UK will get EFTA membership and keep freedom of movement.
I mean I'm doing alright. Some complaints but not enough to mention. I get paid an honest living, always have, even in the hyperinflation days when I was paid in bloody lager. I get time away from it all every now and then. Got to go to Bermuda last Spring which would have been fucking tremendous had it not been for the fucking weather.
Honestly Zim is a shitstorm, "the only boring day was yesterday" is the motto of everyone here, everyday just keeps you carrying on, if you understand my meaning.

This is based as fuck. Imagine the hilarity of an MP facing a recall vote, only for there to be a record low turnout that returns them straight to their seat in the Commons.
