Very tangential, but it's pretty annoying how so many articles on the internet unnecessarily make things bold.

In their defense, it is.

I don't. Do you really want to rely on a currency whose value fluctuates as wildly as Bitcoin's? I like knowing that the $X deposited in my bank account a few days ago will have approximately the same value in a few months or year

This seems like a great use for cryptocurrency. (Not some weird complicated ICO-backed scheme, just regular payment.)

That actually sounds like a really interesting game.

Hot take: people avoid taxes because they don't want to pay money, not because the tax code is complicated

>How about currency monopoly? Hyper inflation? Not real problems in most countries. >Debt slavery for all mankind? How does crypto stop people from borrowing lots of money?

Anyone who gets scammed by an ICO?

There could be many such hubs. They don't have to control the content, just buy the (non-exclusive) right to distribute it.

Alternately, you could make a website that has a good user experience by default for people using some of the most popular platforms instead of sticking with arbitrary standards from decades ago

Decentralized social networks could easily be for the masses. The main thing keeping people on centralized social networks instead of decentralized ones is that almost everyone else is currently on the centralized ones. That could change.

Protip: you can ignore the GDPR and get away with it if your business is located somewhere that the GDPR has a snowball's chance in hell of being enforced. For example, America

It seems bad that huge centralized social networks like Twitter have such societal influence and can unilaterally decide to do stuff like this, and all users can do is trust them not to fuck it up. There's an obvious way around this: u

Serious question, from someone who hasn't had to do it: how is it possible to do productively study for 16 hours a day? Controlled substances? I don't last that long even on occasion, much less regularly.

This isn't what the hardcore Bitcoin proponents want, though. They think Bitcoin is a revolutionary piece of technology that will replace fiat currency. This is just a big bank recognizing an opportunity to make money by speculating on

The main (good) reason to go to community college is that it's a cheap way to get college credits.

I'm glad the First Amendment keeps this nonsense from happening in the US.

It's really not a dangerous slippery slope. If Facebook starts moderating messages too harshly, people will just move to another platform.

How do you secure large amounts of Bitcoin? Keeping it all in a hardware wallet is a lot like keeping all your money in a safe in your closet, and keeping it on your computer or in an exchange is even worse.

The big difference is that you'll probably lose everything you stole and also go to prison if you exploit a bug in a regular financial service. You probably won't be able to make legitimate users of that service lose all their mon

I'm really confused by the 1s in this macro. What are they, syntactically? The second one looks like it could be being cast to the type "pointer to y" but the first one has the sizeof expression in front of it. #define _

It's more a combination of scary and tedious, especially if you haven't done it before and need to research everything.

Why does Twitter make likes public? There isn't even a way to hide them, afaik. I don't use Twitter but if I did, I certainly wouldn't want everyone knowing everything I like.

I'd imagine a significant portion of their traffic comes from iOS/Android users, and it's not as easy to block video ads on those.

Yeah, they've done that for a long time.
