Thanks for the link! I've finally put my money where my mouth is and donated.

I agree that terms like "dark web" and "deep web" have been used so much (and often interchangeably), that they've mostly lost their meaning. That being said, I've always used "dark web" in reference

In my experience, "summer hours" mean half-day Fridays over the summer. I'd never heard the term until I moved to NYC. To elaborate: Apparently the idea is that people could use it as travel time for weekend trips. Drive up t

Could be blockchain analysis. Block accounts that receive bitcoin from known seized funds, like a Silk Road wallet. Basically just the opposite of tactics companies like Coinbase employ.

I loved them, so I bought my family boxes of them last Christmas. They complained that the turkish delight tasted like flowers/perfume -- now that's all I can taste, and I don't get it often anymore.

I don't, unfortunately. The webtorrent docs are very straightforward though. And if you check their npm, they provide a link to cdn hosted source! Note: sorry for any grammar issues, on mobile now

Nope! Just plain JS.

If anyone feels like testing it out, I was actually just playing with webtorrent a couple days ago: https://stark-springs-9580.herokuapp.com/ It's very basic, and doesn't have proper error messaging. Would recomme

The several times I've ever been quoted in a blurb/paper/article, it was taken horribly and embarrassingly out of context. So, in my experience, these quotes almost certainly don't reflect reality.

I like late-night park walks. Very relaxing, very few people.

I assume you haven't seen most of those, as several of the movies he lists are among the greatest, genre-defining horror films of all time. So, yeah... Blair Witch is hardly the last great horror film.

I believe you are thinking of a different platform. Patreon is a Kickstarter-like site, but with a monthly pledge. It is not for music hosting.

Netflix licenses the right to stream films and pays based on that agreement rather than per-view, which is why movies are phased in and out. They have to continually renegotiate contracts. As for geographic restrictions, movie distribution

Atom's filesize limit is 2MB, so it's not really 'massive.' When I was using it, I ran into that limit more often than I would have expected. Mostly when taking a peak at a db dump, or misc files from the odd CTF challen

I was able to make decent money off of the AH the summer it went live. I would buy inexpensive, low-level legendaries off the Gold AH and sell them for ~5 bucks on the RealMoney AH. I wasn't making $200 a day, but I made enough for a c

I may be in the minority here, but even if it was ubiquitous I wouldn't want "every corner of the operating system" running through public WiFi. The creators must be aware of these concerns. I'd be interested in hearing

I was just on a similar train of thought: Cthulhu-like monsters made of dark matter, traversing the universe. Wouldn't that be fascinating?

I really liked Good Eggs, and their customer support always seemed great. Unfortunately, my last order came an item short so they gave me a $5 credit on my next order. A day or two later, they close down in NY and now I won't be able t

The water in Greenpoint, though, is notoriously bad. edit - Greenpoint, the neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY for any who don't know.

That's an interesting way of looking at it, though I disagree. Consider the society depicted in Brave New World (or, more recently, District 1 in the Hunger Games). It may be fiction, but I think it showcases a true-to-life phenomenon

I would add Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note to the list of well-dubbed content!

To be fair, a lot of people at 18 (including me) were really sold on the idea that "nobody cares what you majored in, just that you have a degree." My freshman year, I couldn't decide if I should major in something that &#x27

Lately I've been working on Meteor projects in my spare time, so I put together this small scaffolding tool to make my life easier. If you work with a similar file structure, this could save you a few minutes for every project! I inten

I prefer the enforced look of Facebook to the custom MySpace themes. That being said, MySpace is definitely the reason I first learned CSS and JavaScript. I might not have become a web developer without it!

Though I rarely get it, I definitely feel my best after 12-13 hours of sleep. I've never understood how the world seems fine with just 7 or 8.

Just to add to this... I was reluctant to migrate to the Messenger app, but, since being forced to change, I can see the benefits. Though I don't use it very much, my girlfriend prefers it over any other messaging service (SMS, email,
