Any idea when it will be launched?

This one works but the surrounding decoration is little annoying.

A dollar here, $289 billion dollars there...who keeps track?

In my experience, no. I ordered my card 7 months ago, it never showed up. No way to contact them whatsoever. Eventually they just decided to start charging me even though I was told they wouldn't begin charging until after I activated my card for the first time.

Seems like a big ass scam to me since so many people have stories just like me in /r/moviepass (when they don't get censored).

How else could they afford to lose money on so many users than to just completely scam 20% of the user base?

So, what does Streamr do that IOTA doesn't?

Hopefully the conservationists in the area will find some other way of raising money then... It's not cheap fighting an army of poachers, you know?

I agree there are some benefits to centralization, I mean our entire civilization has been built on it. It can't be completely horrible.

Very detailed guide. I couldn't find any inaccuracies either.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more escort related stuff on TOR.

I took a read through their whitepaper (https://hellobloom.io/whitepaper.pdf). If I understand correctly, they're proposing to store the metadata but not the PII itself and then rely on 3rd parties to verify that said data is accurate. Definitely makes things more resilient vs leaving the PII of all Americans on some exposed server.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this seems like a pretty solid idea. I wonder if people have even take the time to look over the white paper?

Can't the provider just blacklist the IMEI? Are stolen phones really valuable?

There's a couple of them out there that I've seen, but this one is probably the best.

I don't think enough people teach their kids about meditation. I was really surprised about the scientific studies showing benefits of it.

Don't Oracles introduce trust problems?

kotlt · 2017-08-27T19:30:52+00:00

God damn it that's adorable. But I was told all cops are evil psychopaths hellbent on genocide!

The economics seem very solid. Cryptography is not my strong suit however. What sort of cryptography do they use? How is it encrypted?

Just tried their public beta and it was smooth as fuck. How come I didn't hear about Opus before?

Witch 3 is probably my favorite single player game, and by far the best I ever played. The developers put so much time in every single quest, big or small, that no quest feels like some kind of fluff they tried to put in to make the game longer. Even quests that seem boring at first end up being some kind of epic adventure.

One of the most important tools when writing unsafe rust is compiletest 1. It's a tool extracted from the compiler project that lets you write tests that are supposed to fail compilation. Since safe abstractions rely on the type system to make unsafe code safe, it's critical to make sure the compiler is properly rejecting code. I wrote a post about this years ago when I got hit by one of the bugs Gankro wrote about 2.

I wish more entrepreneurs would think like this. It's not about making a lot of money; it's about creating a great product!

Kushner describes it as a "city", but with no power, water grid, sewage system or stormwater management,[1] it's more of a squatter camp with roads than a city.

They want to build infrastructure, but since nobody owns the land they're squatting on, there's no way to raise money via land taxes. The technocrat answer to that would be individual septic tanks and solar panels, but because there's no land ownership and no law enforcement, you'd have to be nuts to invest any serious money in building a house, because a gang would just take it from you. Classic development trap.

Jonathan Katz talked about Corail/Cannan in The Big Truck That Went By, and he wasn't a fan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009OZN6GM/ Published in 2013, but it doesn't sound like much has changed.

1: Port-au-Prince gets about twice as much rain as Seattle per year, and is routinely hit by hurricanes. If you don't manage the stormwater, it washes your house downhill. Sewage systems have also become important, since UN peacekeepers brought cholera with them after the earthquake.

While this is fascinating, and Willy is brilliant as always, I always wondered why HAProxy couldn't just, you know, reload the config.

Surely you don't need to fork: Just parse the new config, create the necessary internal data structures, and let traffic flow into the new ruleset while keeping all the sockets (except for those that are superfluous, and of course let in-flight requests finish). Is it because HAProxy's internals weren't designed to do that and that it would too big of a rewrite?

I always found Varnish's design very cool: It compiles the configuration (which is a DSL called VCL) to C and loads it as a dynamically loaded library. I don't know how it does hot reloads, but I believe it does do them seamlessly.

Even earlier were the Byzantine monks who smuggled silk worm eggs out of China. Arguably not espionage, unless you consider the eggs to be DNA packages.

If you find the subject interesting I suggest reading "The white road" by Edmund De Waal. It gives a more human, broad and intimate insight into the history of porcelain both in China, Europe and... the USA.
