Ah, thanks for point that out! The only things you need to input are the service and passphrase--the result box is just for the output of the generator. Now that you've pointed this out, I'm doubting my sanity in making the, um, output box

Interesting. I see the box as rented equipment, temporarily owned by the homeowner. Anything that happens to the box during the rental period is something the renter is responsible for. I'm actually surprised that your old cable company rep

If your toaster is destroyed in a hurricane, Target does not replace it. If your car is destroyed in a hurricane, Honda does not replace it. So if your cable box is destroyed in a hurricane, I don't see why Comcast should be expected to eat

As a developer who majored in economics, I'd suggest just going to http://www.class-central.com and taking any and every class that you find interesting and think would be useful. That should at least get you beyond the "introductory" cou

He stopped reading "mainstream news," not all news. Whether you solely read newspapers or Hacker News, you're getting an insignificant and unrepresentative sample of "what's going on in the world." Personally, I think that building one's ow

> inflation is measurably delayed Can you provide that measurement, then? How long is the period between the moment I pick up a dollar bill and the moment inflation starts to reduce its value? A month? A week? A day? If I pick up two do

Inflation also drives the velocity of money up, and the interest rate down. And both inflation and demurrage are "continuously assessed," it's just that losses to inflation aren't immediately measurable. Even if the timing of inflation/demu

You need to ask yourselves why anyone would choose to use this currency. Why would I request payment in Freicoin instead of USD or Bitcoin? Why would I choose to be paid in a currency that is specifically designed to not "store value"?
