Monero in fact has 'view' keys so you can report, and prove, the transaction / donation to relevant authorities, without revealing your private key, and without making your transaction history visible to the general public.

If you represent base-b coefficients as such: a = a[0] b^0 + a[1] b^1 + b[2] 2^2 + ... , then the exponent agrees with the coefficient, so that's nice...

It could alternatively be framed that it benefits users who could learn some AWS through using their low-end stuff. (I guess AWS skills are probably desirable in the job market). The obvious followup question: is lightsail the same interfa

There are reasonably easy ways around this though - for example, keep your coins in monero, and send to the bitcoin payment address via a service such as xmr.to . (I'm sure that there are other ways, but that's just the one I&#x27

Not giving out payment information seems like a problem that putting a bitcoin address on your project website could maybe solve.

(Shijiazhuang 3 weeks and Hainan 2 weeks) I did occasionally get good speed (I tried starbucks twice and one day it was decent, the other day was quite slow). There was a particular set of docker images that I had to repeatedly download tha

It's likely that I wasn't on an optimal connection - but I also tried coffee shops, various different hotels, and several different vpn / proxy strategies and all were like this (once or twice a proxy configuration would get

I just spent a month living there, and while I enjoy the country(food in particular is amazing), internet speed is terrible, and basic developer needs like being able to download a docker image, is like an overnight download ( because the i

Someone should make a repo of all of them and then the best techniques could be compared / contrasted for future attempters.

I did a phd. in math and used anki heavily- but ONLY to study for exams. Anki is great for things like memorizing precise statements of theorems, or remembering some trick. Anki is not great for learning the intuition needed to solve hard p

I've used it for many years, and for a short while threw some programming things on there. The main use case (I think) would be something like: you have interviews coming up, and you know a bunch of programming languages, but you aren&

I can still get email through a vpn just like I can get packages at a p.o. box.

I ran lubuntu full time from 2012-2015 on my main laptop (also had a windows.tablet for onenote), and the battery life was better than the original installed os. I'm not sure about full Ubuntu..

> Asking for a phone number seems pretty valid. I agree with your reasoning that for the vast majority of casual users it is useful (and maybe gmail is only intended for casual users). Otoh, there are countries where you could be punishe

(For those who are saying it is possible, they might already know who you are based on browser cache, ip etc. Try it in incognito on a vpn. I get this: http://imgur.com/a/Y5Cxq

You "can" sign up for gmail without a phone number (iirc it's fairly difficult, and you need to do something like use a fresh install of an android device or something to trigger the right sequence of dialogues). However if y

I would typically use pocket for this, but then half of the gists I need to remember are in one place, and half (the ones I've starred on desktop) are in another, so it's not a good solution. The alternative is to completely use p

I wish I could easily star gists from mobile, I always see these kind of things when reading hn on rest break with just phone.

There is also a cost of companies having to fly you to interviews using this strategy, so I guess it will make things a tiny bit harder.

Is the "edge" the same advantage chrome has on a chromebook? semi-serious question.

I have found that, while I do encounter the occasional bug on Edge, the battery life / ram improvements more than make up for it on my windows environment, compared to ff/chrome. (If you're plugged in all day, or have 32 gb r

Every time I see that, I feel it should be camelcase.. it just reads to me as clin-tone-mail for some reason.

Perfect, although I guess it was more of 'an easy language to get him started' than specifically python.

Btw - I totally just realized I have to teach my cousin (who only has a chromebook) python this week. So thanks for this! I might try it out.
