Who thinks trading in Bitcoin makes them magically exempt from the tax laws of their country? Of course, pretty unsure of how they'd have any sort of accountability or venerability for self-reported Bitcoin income. "On your 1099 p

This is (very sadly) par for the course for pretty much everyone but Apple. The same thing happens with any sort of smartphone, any new ultrabooks, etc. I'm guessing this also comes without a price tag or launch date. "Cool story

I'm so conflicted. Just as I'd decided to move on from Angular to Polymers, there seems to have been an explosion in interest and resources for Angular.

Oh, cool. That's very interesting. I curse it because it seems even more insidious and because I can't believe the next gen of consoles is even shipping with an internal optical drive... but I digress. Thanks for the link!

Or register the game to your account and then be able to share it immediately, wirelessly across the country with 10 "family" members and being able to resell the digital copy. But noooooo, codes and short codes and registration v

Okay, so now it's just two-for-one. Now I get to buy and play Halo5 and then give the disc to my brother.

No. That's not true. That's true as of today with the new change. Before, that's absolutely not. This just goes to prove that most of the ignorant internet rage was from people that didn't bother understanding just how m

Great information, even cooler to see someone's got some code working alongside it, I might have to adapt it to Go if it's fairly reasonable to understand given my relative lack of experience with Unicode (heh as I'd mentione

Interesting, I felt foolish about an hour after having written this post, realizing that in most scenarios, it really shouldn't ever be any amount of effort minus half a second of planning and felt foolish for writing off unicode. (Nor

Right, I get that. But my point is thus: First, who cares? Honestly, of all the things I'm upset about, pretty much the bottom of the list is "pictures from Tor get mirrored in an NSA facility". The "terrible" thing

Are you speculating or speaking from experience? Either way, I'd like to imagine in these scenarios that the really, really secure stuff is kept offline or somehow on a non-Internet connected network.

Does "having a second person" even really lend itself to prevent spy-leaks though? I'm imagining an embedded spy with access to this data wouldn't have to work too hard to circumvent such seemingly honor-based access s

So is there a need for a TRULY idempotent equivalent of XMPP's nodeprep? Or one that handles more Unicode points? Or is it a calculated decision to support Unicode 3.2 points only? (Sorry for the nooby questions, but this was very inte

So? You can download my public key and encrypt something with it... and only I'll be able to read it with my private key. It's still "my" key even though you're signing or rather encrypting a message with it.
