I've seen that in a couple of IT outsourcing companies, too. Its hilarious because it complicates working with these companies so much that sometimes u just might reconsider hiring the company and do the work yourself. I dont think the

I appreciate his no-bs approach to the review - he sticks to what matters to him, not all the new shiny bells and whistles. That said, I would have loved some more input on audio management in the new Ubuntu. pulseaudio is giving me such a

umm...what? The article simply talks about how Bitcoin is used in Venezuela to deal with the crisis, not how it is a solution that will fix all of its problems. Its obviously a pro-crypto website talking about utilization (which is somethin

thats only true in theory really, because there are many ways to go around the same blocks. eg , by simply storing ur wallet node remotely. nobody said that there is something special about the traffic, just that the system is set up in a w

I see you are trying to be clever, but that comment doesn't really bring anything to the table. Sure, you can try to filter/block crypto transactions but that will be A LOT harder than blocking dissident blogs. One of the biggest

you dont really need to go to an exchange to get crypto. Lots of OTC sellers, miners, etc. There were actually a few news articles about people in 3rd world countries that survived thanks to btc, though I can't find any at the moment.

Are you implying that because someone lives in an oppressive country that they have no money to transact? I really dont understand your question. Oppressive regimes tend to control money flow in/out of the country. So if you, for examp

even if SEC comes raining down hell on exchanges, it will not bring any value on the long term. Decentralized exchanges are popping up like flies, each new one being more close to the "fully decentralized" concept (see idex, ether

I am almost 100% sure that this is, in part, caused by the recent crypto mining surge. Or at the very least was a catalyst for something that's been cooking for 20 years now. I have no evidence to back this claim, only anecdotal info a

In the developed world piracy seems like this big naughty thing you shouldn't do. In places like Ghana, and many other undeveloped areas, its considered normal and expected. Provided you can even afford a computer.

No glove fits everyone. There are many answers to the problem and each depends on the set of circumstances in which your service exists. Security is, simply put, risk management. To put things into a context: the 'average Joe' use

some will. But ETH has the majority of the hashing power, so any significant moves to other coins will result in major difficulty increases. Which will further decrease mining profitability and hence even more GPUs on the market.

Proof of stake on Ethereum is right around the corner. As soon as that happens there will be plenty of cheap GPUs back on the market.

which is really just a drop in the bucket compared to the daily crypto market oscillations.

I found the style of the article to be quite refreshing somehow. The OP is not trying to look like a smartass about the discovery (a trait very common in the IT industry), and she acknowledges that she doesn't really understand what is

Ryanair allows you to change booking for a fee, as long as its not less than 5hrs before the flight. Bug is that this feature is basically broken and I couldn't change the booking even more than 12hrs before the flight. The button for

I can totally relate to this from both perspectives (being pissed off at someone, and trying to calm somebody pissed off) and seeing how both approaches work/dont work. Not too long ago I opened a dispute with Ryanair about what I thou

I don't think that every husband would be replying the same to the 'bum problem'. I'd expect the response to be tailored based on some specific traits of both husband and wife and based on experience in similar types of

WaveCrest seems to be the card provider for all major crypto debit card offerings. Its actually so popular among top searches for 'btc debit card' that I'm starting to think they are actually running the show and just have a

huh? btc was premined by Satoshi and early contributors too. while nobody can confirm which of the early wallets are his, the value of the premined btc coins is likely higher than the Ethereum premine. this is the nature of all the PoW coin

instead of eliminating PoW we can improve on the efficiency of the miners. Its possible to use the emitted heat from the ASICs/GPUs to warm up households for example. Imagine if this were a city/country-wide thing: you could have

FWIW, Firefox has been behaving quite weird for me for the last 2-4 weeks (Linux version). It randomly freezes and slows down during page loading, even crashed a few times. Seems to happen mostly when there is some video content on one of t

Good riddance. That said, there are always some logs. The VPN provider may not keep session logs, but their upstream could easily log connections to the PureVPN boxes. You can use the upstream log to cross reference with gmail account acces
