I'll certainly concede that point. You and several other people have pointed out that the daily volume might be people doing high-frequency trading back and forth, and I'm sure that's happening to some extent. Grandparent&#x2

Every day, $33 billion dollars worth of "traditional" currencies are traded for $33 billion dollars worth of cryptocurrencies[1]. Coinbase, the top bitcoin exchange, is the 5th largest personal finance site in the US[2] -- the onl

Sorry, I should have been better about citing my sources. The manager who was blacklisting people for their opinion of social justice was Paul Cowan, see page 33 of Damore's lawsuit [1]. That section has many more examples of such beha

The 2015 Macbook Pro included an SSD, 2x Thunderbolt 2, 2x USB3, HDMI, and an SD card slot. It had 9 hours of battery life. Are you saying Intel chipsets actually regressed since then? If not, then it seems like Apple is the one who has reg

Damore's lawsuit included screenshots of a high-level manager boasting about blacklisting employees who say the wrong thing about social justice. That makes for a toxic environment, regardless of what mailing lists you happen to be on.

You might be right for people who have ordered a dominos pizza many times and already know exactly what they want. Rattling off your requests to a person might be faster and less stressful than navigating a UI. But what if you don't kn

Unless you're straight-up stealing, you have to persuade people to hand over their money. The way you do that is by convincing them that what they're getting in return is valuable. Unfortunately people tend make value assessments

I remember how people on Slashdot loved to argue about this around 2003, when the RIAA started suing everyone. The nerds claimed that music would eventually become free, but artists would still make a living from concert tickets and merchan

"Experts" predicting bitcoin's impending doom is nothing new. Does anyone remember Professor Mark Williams, a top economist who is so well regarded that he has been called to testify before Congress many times? In late 2013,

In the past, I didn't buy into the Black Lives Matter message because I didn't like their poster child, Michael Brown. But recently I've become convinced that BLM was right, and the thing that changed my mind was the story of

Each node in Bitcoin's P2P network has to store a copy of every transaction since the beginning of time. This currently takes 140GB of disk space and is growing by 5GB per month. If more transactions are allowed to go through, it'

Here's the super-summarized story for those who are out of the loop: the Bitcoin community has been fighting for years over what they call the "block size increase." From its original design, Bitcoin has capped each block to

I used to work at DreamHost, and what you're saying is not true (for us). While it's true that the shared hosting business model only works because most people buy the service and don't use it, we did not disable popular webs

I, too, worry about the bigger trend of knocking legal sites offline because someone disapproves of them, but the discussion here is about Cloudflare's trustworthiness. So I'd like to point out that Voat is currently relying on Cl

I think you're mistaken when you say that there were no signs. There were many signs, and here are some of the worst. As a point of reference, Feb 7, 2014 is when Bitcoin withdrawals were frozen. May 2, 2013: CoinLab sues MtGox, says M

Several people here are asking how you automatically screenshot websites. Look up PhantomJS -- you don't need to use someone else's API when you can make your own! =)
