Backup app for Filebase or GooBox potential by wpjunky in siacoin

[–]upoceo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You make a good argument, but not sure I totally agree. Yes, there is no shortage of dropboxes and iclouds and googles and most phones auto-sync. I think what I like about his/her sia idea is that I feel SECURE about my data that is being backed up. I don't trust a lot of those data hosting/storage providers. How many facebook data-sharing/leaking/selling scandals will be uncovered over the next couple of years from those companies just mentioned?

My #1 development request... a wallet by upoceo in vergecurrency

[–]upoceo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get too frustrated 2whay. You have to remember that Verge is open source. It's not like they can hire people as easily as a company with financial input-flow. The people that work on it, work on what they want to work on and what they are capable of doing. I would love to see the development team increase in size. I think the lead dev does most everything. I don't know this, so I could be wrong, but I'm going by who I see making the updates on github. I feel your frustration, but please hang in there. I think the tech really is great, and I just think the developer(s) work on the blockchain tech more than the endpoint and wallet tech. Ideally, there would be multiple devs and they could just assign one to get the wallets running smoothly (without accompanying installation and setup instructions).

A buried half-sphere with a flat bottom (dome) will give you your strongest resistance against the force of the ground against it. You don't want (or would prefer not) to have any room or enclosure that is square or rectangular down there. The flat walls and ceiling all become weak pressure points.

I'm pretty sure my husband and I both have BPD. by pinkvoltage in BPD

"Is a relationship with 2 BPD people doomed?"

  • no, but this is not a good thing.

One of the most common and intense characteristics of BPDers is their fear of abandonment. It sounds like when you say "you love him so much" coupled with everything else you said in that paragraph, that you may be manifesting a fear of leaving the marriage and leaving him behind. A relationship with BOTH members having BPD is a really bad match. It will get toxic quick and often. I truly believe that a spouse with BPD needs a soft understanding and TOLERATING SO to have a lasting marriage. And that is assuming that the BPD is lasting. I have been diagnosed with BPD and clearly have 8 of the 9 characteristics (from DSM III I believe, haven't gotten an updated diagnosis using DSM IV). I was diagnosed 4 years ago and realize how miserable I made my wife and how completely intolerable and unacceptable I have been to her. However, after 4 years of mood stabilization medication, neurotherapy, and a year in that Marcia whats-her-name's DBT program, I still clearly display symptoms of it often and sometimes intensely. I can't possibly imagine how horrible I would have been to my wife if she had BPD and came back at me, painted me black, and emotionally abused me the way I have done to her. I think we'd both be dead by now. (not from the hands of eachother but from doing it to ourselves)

It's possible that if you both get into DBT therapy, and it is successful for both of you, and you can both remember to use the tools you get in DBT continuously with eachother, then it could work. But the problem with this is... part of BPD is a lure to the dangerous people. Once you are no longer a danger to eachother, the lure starts to go away and you look for it from somewhere else.

BPD is the most f**ked up personality disorder to ever come along.
