You're right, it may not have been proven but based on the amount of coverage and writing on it, there must be some truth behind it. Do you really think these people decided to make it up? And regardless of whether they smuggled the dr

Your app probably got removed because from what I gather you're a scammer. This isn't the first time a scam app with massive recurring subscriptions was banned. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2

If it was cleaned up a bit sure. The title totally ruins it... how elitist can tech people get? Go study this glossary of terms THEN you can talk to me.

Is smartphone addiction really a thing that needs this constant coverage? I use my phone quite often but I've never felt controlled by it or like I need it. Maybe people should just delete the apps that are causing problems, instead of

Here's how I see it: Netflix and other streaming services are recreating all of cable now. It's not a good thing, just wait. Networks moved to the current cable model because its the most profitable. Netflix disrupted that in the

Right now I'm looking for remote-allowed and flexible hours. I've learned through experience that I can't deal with 5 days a week at a cramped office in a cubicle. Health benefits are obviously nice too and large vacation tim

Why do they use a screenshot with a typo for demonstration purposes? Beautiful is misspelled as "beutiful". Why are all these companies designing their own fonts. It's not needed and for primarily mobile-based apps it ends up

The Xbox One faced this problem too but on a smaller scale. An example of a product that failed in large part due to its ambiguous and confusing name was the WiiU. Is it a wii? Is it something else? Is it just the control? What is a U?

I know. A flexible ASIC is a GPU. Optimized hardware will always be more cost effective, but like I said elsewhere in the thread, algos that are hard(er) to optimize than even cryptonight are being worked on. People didn't notice moner

100% correct, but bitcoin isn't centralized because of PoW, more because of a bad implementation of PoW that was too soon and too easily optimized (if you had the cash). Existing algos will all be eaten in the same way SHA256 was, but

Because the name is totally false. You aren't putting anything at stake and it ends up being traditional social trust. "Oh that guy he has a lot of ETH and is a trusted member, he wouldn't attack the network as its in his own

People think it's cool. I wasn't commenting on whether it's needed for society. But the people developing it would need a better way to achieve their goals if PoW really should be abandoned.

by deft 8y ago
There's been a lot of FUD against PoW and some of it is warranted. The problem is saying "PoW is a bad solution to the problem" doesn't provide any path forward. PoS is not a solution, and neither is so called dPoS where

What purpose does a company with a centralized service have for "blockchain". Apparently even tech leaders have no idea what they're talking about.

Xamarin for WPF is also coming which should allow you to keep your VB code unchanged, I don't know the specifics however.

Xamarin for linux is coming, so truly crossplatform .NET should be a future possibility.

This looks really cool. More and more OSS projects are using slack for coordinating development as well as providing support. This makes it faster and simpler than forums but removes all search engine indexing. Maybe your project could help

Exactly. Doesn't take much thought to realize that a guy with $100 billion dollars has no idea what the average life is like, and has no reason to be giving life advice.

Can someone from Epic explain why they're using Mongo DB despite endless horror stories about it just like this? I understand that this wasn't a bug in Mongo and caused by programmer error, but WHY mongo? I'm not a genius DBA

Hopefully! There's a bad attitude I've noticed about Flask, people don't take it seriously and treat it like a learning tool or a library for quick and dirty hack projects. All because it's simple to learn and free of bu

you're making the case that Facebook was negligent and Yahoo wasn't. I don't think that's true because Yahoo kept the hack a secret from auditors and users for 3 years.

Pretty much every simulation game encodes neoliberal assumptions, which I'm sure is unintentional but it makes playing them very restrictive. But it's why "simulations" lead to articles like "Capitalism shown to be

Try SimCity 4 with NAM[1]. It adds quite a lot of features to bring it up to nearly the level of Cities: Skylines without any of the stuff you might not like about that game. Essentially NAM enables unreleased transportation simulation rule

Never even realised it wasn't 1.0, maybe I should pay attention to version numbers. Changelog looks good! I've never understood logging in Flask or how to do it in a sane way for a simple app while using uWSGI, so I'm glad th
