Interesting you mention "Industrial" cards as I have been looking at cards in this range after reading quite a few issues with RPIs over the past few months. I have a RPI3 with a SanDisk Extreme, running for 18 months 24/7 wi

Bitcoin.com isn't a neutral source on LN related material. The parent company (St Bitts LLC) directly invest in Bitcoin Cash startups that compete directly with Bitcoin itself. The bug has already been patched, and had a limited userba

Some decent advice so far, few different approaches. For myself I have 20k unread emails. I don't care. I've already taken a pass on the From, Subject and first line or so. Don't flag an email as a to-do unless you are actual

No, "beamer" certainly is slang for BMW.

Here in the UK Ofcom (governing body over communications) are pretty strict with what you can adversise. For home broadband, providers have to give realisic numbers to prospective customers - not just an "up-to". For mobile, they

I'm torn on this one. Part of me loves iTunes and it does so much more than the typical user will ever realise, but the other part of me sees that iTunes is come to the end of the road and an entire rebuild of the Apple Music app needs

Even though these numbers are very anecdotal. The amount of money spent on a game vs the number of hours played shows that extra value could be extracted from the customer. Netflix/Spotify model comes to mind. The collective pool of su

This is what's most important. A lot can be said about internet streaming but some Sat services have 4x the bitrate using comparable format.

I don't think It's strange at all, if anything it gives them access to data they wouldn't have otherwise.

I don't think that many users would store their tokens locally. I believe the trust aspect is that YOU have a choice where as currently you may not (if you think globally). You could think of it like hosting your own email server.

I think we should go one level deeper and build an open low level decentralized protocol. that allows others to create networks and 'feeds' on top. The data should belong to the person and the app/website should provide the f

I know the question may not be directed to myself, but I will answer why I believe in Bitcoin. The real value is in the Decentralised/P2P store of money. This allows not just people, but entities and even software can "own"

Not sure if that's the case? I travel past a Amazon Prime Now Warehouse occasionally and they always have loads of white vans parked.

I avoid all the 'carriers' and use the Local Collect to my local Post Office. Only disadvantage I guess is the Sunday deliveries, but It's a worth while trade-off.

This is not something I've ever thought about but does seem to solve a few concerns. Even in my small town, I can think of many frequently used routes and locations that would benefit from an 'Uber-Bus'.

I believe that more 'transactions' will happen off-chain rather than on. I expect to see a rise in merchants and gateways - similar to what PayPal does.

Very interesting indeed. I can see an era where the bandwidth used is paid for by the end user (low cost). Data between seeds could also be chargeable but at a lower level than the end user - allowing the node to 'seed' the conte

You're gonna have a bad time if you are comparing cryptocurrency to metals. There are dozens of currencies that are widely used at the moment, and I'm willing to bet over the next 2-4 years we will get into the hundreds. Your cryp

Kind of a silly question but in the case of a "normal" car accident, don't they just come down to compensation costs. Either for repairs and damages, the individual involved or even medical costs. Couldn't the likes of U

Tesco do a "Scan as you Shop" service in some stores that use a handheld laser scanner that allows you to scan whilst you shop. Interestingly the same scanners can be used for the online order picking.

What should be mentioned is the single market where using a SIM card from another EU country could turn out cheaper than using a domestic one.

The more I think about this "problem" too, the more it goes back to the question of why do these sites need my information, and subsequently what way can they verify my identity? We need a better web of trust where another service

I'm not sure this is the reason at all. Talk of FM on iPhones goes back many years - even leading to rumours of iOS updates brining FM support, but they obviously never materialised. Nowadays I think the FM part is basically down to th

Regardless of which way you look at decentralization, there has to be an origin, and due to the nature of these networks, enough active peers that "cache" the content. By having a hosted http feed for at least a small percentage o

I'd consider that pretty damn cheap if you consider that and IP address as a form of Intellectual Property.

As someone who has worked in a warehouse facility as a picker - though not Amazon. I find the 'slave-like conditions'a bit unfair. Now I can't speak for Amazon themselves, most of the complaints seem to stem from the fact tha

My concern isn't really the 'connective-ness' of these networks/web in general. It's the 'reward' system and instant gratification via the 'point systems' - re-tweets, karma, Likes etc. The way w

I'm not going to pretend I know what I'm talking about because this project was VAST - but would't a mkv type solution over P2P (BitTorrent more specifically) been more practical? I can't help but think they tried to mak
