I've always understood the relationship between societies and monks (priests, ministers, nuns, etc.) to be one of "offset". Monks are taken care of so they can pursue the esoteric studies that the common person has no time fo

I don't believe that it is a matter of being "super tasty", but rather, one of not wanting to inform predators of an easy to access food supply.

Dorian wasn't given the choice. He didn't announce that he was Satoshi but had the mantle thrust upon him by the media. Mr. Wright made his claims but now is unable to prove them beyond a reasonable doubt.

She mentioned she works on the Tor project and asks the question if her participation is relevant in this case. That part isn't made up. I find it reasonable for someone to assume that their participation in a currently legal (but cont

Western Union's energy footprint is no doubt large. Is it larger than the Bitcoin networks? I don't know, but WU has extensive infrastructure in place all over the World, so it's not a simple case of Bitcoin being the only ec

This is a project that I would love to attempt to replicate! Awesome work. I'm crossing my fingers and hope that you'll decide to post more about the mechanics and code in the future.

Selective sync, at least in the version of Dropbox that I use, is restricted to the folder level.

by Mtinie 11y ago
This solves an important aspect of the sync problem -- the ability to selectively sync individual files without having to sync the whole directory that it is part of (or even to have to know what the directory is in advance).

Thank you for bring this technology up. I wasn't familiar with it, but now I'm going to research how it works. I have a lot of questions about how it works in practice (structural considerations, materials, cost, etc.), but concep

"Share a beer" is, as I've always used it, a shorthand expression for "shared time, conversation, and company with someone, while drinking beers". It's just a simple expression that takes the place of a bunch o

Fair point, especially if the bot becomes biased in some way after that point and fails to adapt to your cues ("no, these shoes are for me, not my wife..").
