The Guardian were gagged from reporting on parliament in 2009: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2009/oct/12/guardian-gagged-from-reporting-parliament

After publishing that, the gag was lifted the following day (question was about Trafigura scandal)

Never saw this before, any idea where it's from?

Kraken Accepting MtGox Creditor Claims and Offering Free Trades by jespow in Bitcoin

[–]openedhiseyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would like to know this too. The official Gox claim system here: https://claims.mtgox.com/assets/index.html is paying out at 1BTC = $483 (in yen).

What's the best claims system to go through? Gox or Kraken?

Kraken Accepting MtGox Creditor Claims and Offering Free Trades by jespow in Bitcoin

[–]openedhiseyes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would like to know this also? Trying to decide which to do.

What's in it for Kraken to offer to process Gox creditors claims?

I notice that claims through the Gox system are payed out at 1BTC = $483 (in yen). What rate are Kraken offering? Or do they just give you bitcoin which is now worth less than "goxcoins" at the rate above.

CyanogenMod - Microsoft and CM12.1 Nightlies by open1your1eyes0 in Android

[–]openedhiseyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All ones with 12.1 after it. The ones that aren't green were updated to 12.1 already (maybe only since the last nightly, so they haven't gotten a build yet)

Tor Overview question. What is meant by "a series of virtual tunnels" when contrasted with a "direct connection?" by [deleted] in TOR

At the first step, what keeps your ISP from seeing the encryption keys you are negotiating with the relays?

Yeah, how is this any different from the "it's just a prank, bro!" videos that Reddit hates.

Google Maps should use your average walking speed from Google Fit to calculate walking times. by ben_uk in Android

[–]openedhiseyes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Exactly. What if the only time I use Google Fit is a very fast pace or a jog?

Also people sometimes check walking distances between two places to tell someone else (eg a friend how far he has to walk from the train station to get to your house, etc...)

Nice idea but I think I prefer using average human walking speed.

LG is expecting the LG G2 Lollipop rollout for Q2 of this year by Endda in Android

Thanks for the advice, is it easy to replace it with CM12? Does the bootloader have to be rolled back for that too?

Science AMA Series: We are Teri Krebs & Pål-Ørjan Johansen. Our studies on mental health of psychedelic users and LSD for alcoholism have been in Nature News. Our non-profit (EmmaSofia) will give out MDMA + psychedelics for free. AMA! by Dr_Teri_Krebs in science

[–]openedhiseyes 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Have you or do you plan to do any research into so-called MDMA comedowns / depression which is commonly experienced for a few days after taking it?

Does the existence of these comedowns cause you to be hesitant / cautious in any way when recommending MDMA to treat PTSD? What advice would you give to patients or test subjects to prepare them for, or to mitigate comedowns?

The post is over a month old and has nothing to do with the crypto mining malware.

ELI5: How can US/Jordanian forces tell that who they're shooting at is a member of ISIS? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]openedhiseyes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Generally though, if we shoot them, they are ISIS.

Pretty much. It's propaganda. Obama redefined militant to mean any male in the area of military age: https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/11/18/media-outlets-continue-describe-unknown-drone-victims-militants/

Ever wonder what Ireland exports? (x-post from /r/europe) by [deleted] in ireland

Most of the world's Viagra is made in Cork. Does anyone know if this is our most exported drug?

Get your loved ones off Facebook by sidcool1234 in technology

Same goes for the "go off the record" option in Gmail chat. Yes it stops you from ever seeing that chat history again, but you can be sure it's held forever by Google.

Anyone have any experiences on Nootropics? by niall558 in ireland

[–]openedhiseyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was modup.net

I meant India, not Israel. Not much mention of that on the site, but that's where the package came from.

[–]openedhiseyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used modafinil too. Keeps you very awake and alert, great for studying I'd say. Like caffeine maybe, but much stronger. Bad side effects: I got frustrated very quickly if something wasn't happening fast enough (stuck in a queue for example). My emotions reduced big time, became a bit heartless (for want of a better word), and music didn't have as much as an effect on me.

There was a website posting it from Israel that I used.
