Cellphones used to have a 1 week battery life. The market spoke. We care more about weight than charging frequency. Sorry for those of you who have other preferences but this is not changing any time soon.

I know I'm supposed to turn my phone to flight mode but I often use my phone on planes so I know it works. I've been doing this for years. Jets are not faraday cages. The speed of the jet slows down your connection and you need to

Yea but clearly these planes were not flying at 30,000 feet so regular cell tower calls would have worked
904.
by 6nf 9y ago
The planes were lower than 10,000 feet at the time of the phone calls

I've done it. It's possible. Why do you think it's not?
906.
by 6nf 9y ago
Why would it be impossible for passengers to make calls during the flight? I've made calls from a 747, it's definitely possible?

I've looked into this and I see many banks experimenting but nobody seems to actually use it commercially. Did I miss something?

I've recently done some quick calculations and based on WebAssembly (i.e. near native) mining for the most profitable crypto currencies, you're still almost an order of magnitude below regular ads unless your users leave the page

What's the cheapest you could make the cartridges assuming mass-production?

by 6nf 9y ago
It solves that problem and creates other problems.

If it was ballistic then sure, you can ignore it. But a missile can change course so I don't buy this excuse that 'we knew it would miss'

The new Qantas fitouts are pretty comfy on the long distance routes.

This is called a speed limiter and I LOVE it in my Mercedes. I set the limiter to match the road's speed limit and I can just drive without worrying that I'll get caught speeding. No need to constantly look down at the speedo.

ok maybe it is terrorism. But why is ISIS allowed on cloud front?

The 1x chain is the one you want to call 'bitcoin'?

by 6nf 9y ago
Yea I agree. It's really weird that white supremacists are 'literally nazis' in the eyes of many Americans. Did the meaning of that word change recently?
921.
by 6nf 9y ago
That doesnt make any sense. Why would the bitcoin adjustment take many months when 90% of the miners support the segwit2x agreement?
922.
by 6nf 9y ago
90% of miners agree, and that's really what matters. Not some easily inflated node count. Anyone can run 100s of nodes and signal anything they like.

by 6nf 9y ago
Ok maybe but cloudflare hosts actual ISIS content so why is that acceptable?
924.
by 6nf 9y ago
So actual terrorists are acceptable, but not the website of those guys who killed that one lady last week. Okay.

They talk about members voting on external contractors. This is not really a new concept and it's basically how governments work too. And we know stuff like this is still susceptible to curruption and bribery. The difference is that wi

Yea it's just a mistake, it should be string literal.

The NYC 'headqarters' is not even on their list of locations https://www.atlassian.com/company/careers so I'd be surprised if it hosts a signficant percentage of their development workforce. As far as I

The problem with the Spolsky example is that Atlassian with their huge open-plan offices completely overshadowed Fog Creek in just a few short years.

ICOs are just straight up ponzi schemes or pump and dump scams. The list of exceptions is very, very short.

No of course not. If the tokens are useless then nobody will blame Coinbase for not supporting them. But we're talking about BCH here, which is bigger than all other coins save Bitcoin and Etherium. There's a LOT of money at stake
