Something I always wondered whenever I saw pictures of that mall is why was it abandoned. I've turned to google multiple times but there doesn't seem to be anything about it.

Sure, but then again, it's hard to picture the "consumerization" of bitcoin happening without services like BitPay or Coinbase in the first place. Plus, if there's a future where bitcoin actually has a respectable market

Coinbase is just another company in the Bitcoin ecosystem, them being successful does not mean Bitcoin cannot have other faces or uses. Nobody condemns email for being too centralized because Gmail is popular, people who care for decentrali

Regarding maximum input size, I'm sure it can be forked to implement a tweet-sharding approach.

The point is not that Shumway is directly connected with pdf.js, but rather that the wording in its descrition suggests pdf.js is no longer a research project.

While what you say is true, in this particular case I don't see any reason for ISOHunt not to change the name, since as far as I can tell it's just a pet project for them, and most people won't remember it in a month anyway.
