Seconded. The direction keys (j, l, I think, and I forget which the other two were; I just kept the mapping from movement-of-fingers to movement-of-cursor) may not be as intuitive as they are in qwerty, but after a short while you just ing

You're mixing up society with government. And, by the way, you have not refuted grandparent at all. Much on the contrary, you have only ratified that you have chosen money and lifestyle over working on something you believe in. I don't thi

Actually, as a (just as absurd) heuristic I think the world would be much better off if we killed, say, the 1% richest people every year. We'd lose some people up there with genuine net contribution to mankind, but for the most part we'd g

Also, ships are not solid (as in 'filled'), let alone uniform in density. On top of that, hydrodynamics imposes more important constraints on shape. You can make a ship pretty stable by loading its keel heavily.

Amazing #9, would have made Salvador Dali drool. Funny caption too: "ОМГ!".

Don't listen to siblings. :) If you can afford to _free run_ (which google for) your sleep just do it.

If I was in either side of this business, I'd gladly lose those who won't bother to read the block of text.

This will make many people realise that they don't have nearly as many friends as Facebook would let them believe.

This is something else actually. It's intended to be an utopian sustainable smart city. I don't think they call it the "Silicon Valley of Portugal" because of the projected startup ecosystem, but for the hi-tech aspect.

I see. I had checked it in Google define: and dictionary.reference.com, but not on that one. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I didn't intend to derail this into a discussion on language.

Sorry, I didn't know about the colloquial misuse of "compatriot" for "co-conspirator" or "buddy in crime" (??) etc. I realized I was replying to a tangential remark, but it wasn't just language nitpicking. The implication that the US were

Hold tight and keep your hopes up. Maybe one day you'll see it in first person and full 3D.

I don't think the meaning you give to "dynamic" here has much bearing on the difficulty of just-in-time compilation, except for reflection. In Scheme you can define and create new functions and macros at runtime. There is not much else tha

Spanish does. Not agreeing with grandparent, though. Lots of people admit to playing with their Wiis for hours a day.

FWIW, Gambit C compiles to C, not to Objective C. I'm not sure that makes a difference, though.

If someone started a new Bitcoin-like currency they should start from a blank slate. Cloning the network chains would be confusing and frivolous at best.

It would not be so much a network split as a network copy. Every user of the original network would have, to begin with, identical balances in both. Until inflation adjusted things, there would be an ephemeral increase in purchasing power

Yes, but in all fairness, that post addresses problems that can result from a computational attack. The one you raise doesn't need such at all. If a state wanted to compete with Bitcoin on all features but distributedness, a peaceful fork

The # of bitcoins will grow up until an established number, ~21M. That's what's being advertised.

by euccastro 15y ago
OK, here's plan B. You just start a new network and seed it with a copy of the old block chain (to bribe old users into at least trying it out). No need for elaborate and potentially expensive takeovers. Then you advertise the new networ

The coins are copied. You could spend them in both networks independently.

I'm not a libertarian, yet I like BitCoin better than fiat currencies and centrally manipulated monetary systems. If other people are happy with whatever features of BitCoin remain under centralized control, more power to them. I see no pr
