That's a potential use, one of many, but it is not a current widespread use of crypto. Why? Probably because Paypal (despite its many, many faults) works just fine for most people.

As a casual observer I see the cryptocurrency space only seriously used by two groups of people: those who want to buy goods/services which are controlled in their or the seller's jurisdiction and so need a bit more anonymity than

Like I said in this thread, I tried and could not get it working. I am curious how other people got it working, since we are using the same tool and seeing the same webpage.

Could you please paste your custom filter rules for it? I tried the keep-zapping approach, and eventually got rid of the pop-ups, but then was unable to actually scroll through the page and read the article.

I added this to my custom filter list, and it did not get rid of the sign-up pop-up.

by Ansil849 6y ago
Can you get it to successfully work on this page? Zapping elements gets rid of the pop-up, but also makes scrolling impossible.

This is an extremely callous comment. Discrimination happens regularly to those with disabilities without needing to go out of their way to concoct such a scenario - it happens organically every day, due to people like that Uber driver ment

Trolling corporations is a form of asymmetrical warfare. The point is that the troll expands a few resources, to cause the corporation a disproportionate amount of inconvenience. For example, calling in fake pizza orders. Very low-effort fo

The amount of time they spent on designing this campaign, including shooting multiple videos, vastly exceeds the inconvenience this will cause WB. This is like if as a "troll" I left a car blocking your driveway, not caring if it

by Ansil849 6y ago
Yes, but by actively admitting that they trolling, they are opening themselves up to WB just going to ICANN and filing a dispute to get the domain.

I don't understand the point of this. It's trying to play it straight to be able to legitimately claim it's a 'Space Jam Recipe #2' website, but the videos and copy are full of little snide commentary about how the

The thing to remember is that popsci books are not peer-reviewed academic literature. They are the, generally unchecked, thoughts of the author. If you listen to them, you do so at your peril as you are effectively performing alterations to

Yes, I like this. That's quite a fun way to get the point I was trying to make across indeed!

by Ansil849 6y ago
This is a good point, but it is a bit different from the observation I was trying to make. What I am more observing is that if someone within your discipline uses elements of another discipline and brings it into yours, if it is done well,

Just an idle rumination... It is curious to me how when a programmer does something beautiful and creative, it is (rightly) revered by other programmers, such as this example. On the other hand, if someone who is not a programmer but is an

To make sure I understand correctly: you are saying it would be fine to start a nonprofit called Google, whose mission is to let's say raise awareness about recycling?

I'm genuinely wondering how is it legal for a company to take the same name as an unaffiliated nonprofit?

I think the positive here is that more people got to learn about the person's work. Sure he didn't get credited, but the important thing should be his research, not himself. And the tattoos I can't even begin to understand wh
