Tons of artistic applications. I can’t think of anything this visualization gives that standard scopes in software like Nuke don’t provide, but those are not as intuitive or quick to read. Color in image reproduction is notoriously difficu

Same. I would just like to know if a site is mining or not, if for no other reason than to optimize my battery life when I’m out.

The assertion that the tweet implies “you’ve been damaged mentally by someone in your past” is clearly accurate. No one seems to be denying that. If this, coming from someone who doesn’t know you, does not sound offensive, what does?

Same experience here with Facebook. This is a little off-topic, but, given the common ground, I visited Allsides.com and it was an interesting experience. I expected to like it, but it felt more like being a 3rd wheel watching a couple argu

I love Python but I also don’t mind static types. Maybe I will realize some day what this argument is really about, but I expected that day to come by now.

When I first moved to Portland, Oregon about 10 years ago, the inner sections of the city has free city-wide wireless. I was broke and in school, but still basking in what I believed the future would be like. 2 years later, they pulled the

My mother lives in a rural part of Kentucky. While staying with her over the summer, I visited the office of the local DSL broadband provider, ‘Brandenburg Telephone’ and it was like a step back in time. This is one of the areas Comcast dee

Well, I’m a sucker. I just read your very lengthy first link and learned absolutely nothing. The entire statement is questionable anecdotes, unreasoned conclusions and baseless declarations of what is good . What about this text did you fi

All fine points. I don’t think I grasp the idea of a “good learning language”. I don’t consider myself experienced enough to argue about which languages are better than others, but I do know something like Windows command line is a bad lan

If I’m understanding this correctly, a big difference is the potential for the value to fluctuate in relation to fiat. All of these examples are measured in denominations of US dollars. But, if these tokens are viewed as products rather tha

I do not understand why, but since quitting Facebook 6 months ago, I have experienced being better in touch with many friends. More of them reach out to me directly and the conversations feel more meaningful. Of course, this is only anecd

Those sound like good points to me. Thanks for sharing. I am not enough educated on biotech to draw a conclusive opinion myself. What I understand about Monsanto’s exploits into corn production seems devastating, though. Once you have a cer

There is, and Greek tragedy itself offers an abundance of them. For anyone curious, look into Euripides’ “The Bacchae”.

It’s understandable that Americans continue seeking measurable blame, but I think this is a complicated result of wider cultural issues, none of which can be isolated. So sad.

In America, cash production is only legally done by one centralized entity, and it is done by them on a regular basis. As far as I know, this holds true in all developed nations.

Unfortunately, it seems like people with imposter syndrome are a far less likely to execute than the ones with the goal of being a douche bag. But, I do appreciate this interpretation as well.

I am suggesting there are some rationales for investing in cryptocurrency besides investor profit. I am not arguing for their popularity, but that they do exist. They seem to ascribe different value systems that you might not be considering

OK. Maybe i am assuming there have been no new Tether tokens because the “granter” decided not to grant anymore, but it has actually been a market response? I am wondering... if they can grant new tokens, why havent they? Lack of demand?

OK. Thanks for clarifying. You mean to say it’s not smart investing . You are judging intelligence based on purely selfish outcomes. I understand now.

The difference between “new coin” and “grant token” is eluding me here.

I don’t exactly disagree. But, until recently, the people I knew who were investing were techies with political bents. They appreciated the technology, wanted to support it, and invested small amounts that they could afford to lose. Would c
