The key in your explanation is "without any middlemen". It's really easy to build a system that lets you send tokens to other people with low transaction costs: just trust someone to run a central database of all the account

I'm not aware of any actual real-world GUI system where ".whenChanged do" is valid syntax, but just for the sake of argument, pretend that it only fires when the user changes the textbox. Coincidentally, this also happens t

Back when Apple first announced Face ID and Animojis, there were vague rumors/fears that companies would use the face-recognition sensors for targeting like that. Did that ever actually happen? (Come to think of it, is it even possible

Yeah, #FF0000 was just an example. The problem also happens with other shades of red, like #F44336 from the old Material Design palette.

Publishers can help with a lot of book-related things--typesetting, printing, cover design, and so on--that authors don't necessarily know how to do themselves. Automated print-on-demand services get you most of the way there, but prof

A better example is when you have a #FF0000 red background. WCAG says you should use #000000 black text on it, but #FFFFFF white text is actually more accessible to people with color deficient vision[1] and, to my eyes at least, reads more

It'd be super neat to have something like this for trains in other places besides Tokyo. Would a GTFS feed[1] provide enough information, or does this require more specialized data? [1]: https://developers.google.com/tr

This is true, but unfortunately, a lot of games are almost completely unmaintained, especially on macOS. Many of the smallest indie game developers don't even own Macs—they either borrow their friends' machines to do one-off build

Maybe they need their own random number generator for the pre-boot decryption process? (Although come to think of it, I guess you only really need random numbers to generate the key when en crypting.)

Indeed, they (sort of) already did; their mobile app includes a gimmicky "chatbot" feature. Admittedly, I don't think the chatbot can actually do everything the website can. But it's a start!

It's like the Internet Explorer debate all over again: is the problem that my website doesn't support your screen reader, or is the problem that your screen reader doesn't support my website?

The issue here appears to be whether or not it's Domino's legal (and moral) obligation to make their website compatible with some specific piece of screen-reader software. To me, it seems like they probably should; the APIs are re
