Ocusync has been out for some time now and it already sounds like magic. I think when compared to wifi or some radio bridges it usually operates in much less congested environment. Nonetheless, if you think about frequencies used, energy go

Holy cow, I'm a very casual gamer, I was excited about the game but when it came out I decided I don't want to wait that long and I'll wait until they sort it out. 2 years later it still sucked. So I abandoned it. But.. this.

I agree with all of the above but there are two good dynamics. For small niche subreddits where you only get a few answers it seems less likely that those are advertisements (and user history is often telling) And on bigger subs, it's

Reddit is a company that made people moderate their content for free. You don't need to know sub names to get some use of it. I append "reddit" to probably 1/3 of my search engine queries. Especially useful when looking

You're right that the cost moves to the consumer and that it hurts those most in need. Maybe UBI, maybe tax on consumers can be nonlinear and be higher when the usage is higher ("fake accounts" are not that simple in the real

We do need digital gold to be able to have market of cryptocurrencies that are actually in use and not just being speculated on with fiat. Sidechains enable that. The whole waste argument is ridiculous on so many levels. I imagine these peo

Depends what you are using your search engine for. Getting the actually most popular thing in the area where there's a lot of competition? They're good at that. But when trying to find some obscure string in a context it's ju

Does anybody know if it's safe to add copper sulfate to evaporative humidifier? I've checked some resources and based on what I read it should be safe and very cheap. Yet this doesn't seem to be popular so I'm wondering

Some people want to create great, useful apps. That's what they want to do. They are willing to give away half of their earnings to different 3rd parties to just not deal with the bullshit. It's unlikely to be their full time job.
