Of course the DAO is very likely to fail. It's an experiment. Like the system it's based on. It will fail, we're going to learn from these failures, and then try again. And then again. And again. And after enough iterations a

That's why I mentioned that I'm not sure about extradition to other EU countries. Extradition of its own citizens to other non-EU countries is currently not possible. The law for this is "§ 12 ARHG Verbot der Auslieferung öst

Yes - US law is pretty irrelevant for most people who live outside the US and who don't do business with the US. How relevant is China's law for an US citizen who doesn't leave the country?

I don't know about the law of other countries, but my home country (Austria) does not extradite its own citizens, no matter what the crime is. However, it is possible that you end up in front of an Austrian court, even if you commited

You're referencing US law here, but it looks like most of the people involved in the DAO are neither US citizens nor US residents. Slock.it is a German company and dao.link will be incorporated in Switzerland.

Yes - I used that plan too and it works great. Only minor issue is that it doesn't provide domestic data roaming in case there's no native T-Mobile coverage. But if you're in an area that has good T-Mobile coverage and if you

IMO T-Mobile is somewhat of an exception there (or at least they have good marketing which makes me believe that they are an exception :).

It's relatively easy to change/fake the caller ID of phone calls so unfortunately this approach isn't really secure. That's why phone number verification usually places an outgoing call, to verify that you're actual

My example was about retail prices: You're correct that due to clearinghouse there are hardly any charges exchanged - as in most cases the outgoing roaming volume of a provider is comparable to the incoming roaming volume. But if you h

For international travel I use a Project Fi SIM card that provides data roaming at 256kbps. While web sites load slightly slower, I'm otherwise perfectly happy with 256kbps roaming.

One potential issue is that data prices in the EU differ quite a lot between countries. For example, I have an Austrian drei.at prepaid card where I pay around 10 EUR per month for 10 GB of data (I have to recharge the card at least once a

Yes, but that's the issue that the original post in this thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11601100 ) discussed (calling other countries from your home countries is more expensive than calling other countries

Data roaming prices got better with this change, but are still somewhat high. Two of the 4 major US carriers are able to offer free (but somewhat slow) data roaming in Europe, and the other two sell relatively cheap packages for data roamin

My Austrian provider charges 80ct per minute to call other EU countries. (SMS are cheaper because the rate for SMS is independent of the destination country).

I wonder if it's one of the newer GPLv3 Bash releases, or an older GPLv2 Bash release. The Bash version on OS X is quite outdated due to Apple's avoidance of GPLv3 software.

While 3DSecure and Verified by Visa is a good idea in theory, the implementation is a mess. For example, my bank requires me to enter my banking username and password into the banking website, which is loaded via an iframe inside the mercha

Something similar is (or at least was) true for Github: I changed my username a couple of years ago and I recently found out that another user is now using my original username. Less of an issue due to the much longer timeframe, but I think

There's no harm of translating something into Portugese: If you translate there will be some piracy from Brazil, but if you don't translate users from Brazil won't buy your game at all.

IANAL, but I don't think there's much of a difference between asking someone to reveal the correct password and asking someone to reveal the correct finger. In both cases you would be asked to incriminate yourself. If it would be
