   First time I heard about this site. Maybe we can use this for preliminary research requiring small funds. I'll study this.

   I hope one-day things would turn around. If the regulators asked pharmaceutical companies to study for these drugs on the side so much could change. Probably less than 1% of their R&D budget would be enough to move things.

   Say everyone in an unstable economy were paid in usd. If that country has foreign deficit, if that country has high government debt. What happens? How can the government keep paying its own employees? How does it pay retiree checks? How doe

    Even if BTC were available to all countries, it wouldn't have stopped local currency value losses. And ironically hoarding stronger currencies makes local currencies lose value even faster.

    I think this method seems to get more popular by day. IMHO, previously master was the branch you merge before the deploy process. But today this is reversed. The main benefit is, other developers can rely on the master branch even more. The

    A good example to this is the founding of the US itself.

    We should understand Facabook was the best platform to advertise mobile game apps and etc, for almost 10 years. Apple took 30% of all that revenue without any objection. Now Apple has its own ad infrastructure, and this is a perfect strateg

    If the benefit we are looking for is better up time, that will not happen. The main benefit is going to be knowing why the system is down, and the eta to being up again.

    If that option was there in the very first place a significant portion of the marketing spend wouldn't have happened throughout the years. Now that the market is well established cutting Facebook off is a good strategy for Apple as thi

    If a company owns the regulation of a widely used currency, how will it be devalued if it becomes necessary. Popular currencies need to be regulated by the people, even if indirectly. Otherwise in times of crisis these currencies will be ha

    This also depends on the country. For instance in Poland android has 99% market share. So 1/3 Poland residents will experience issues.

    The way i understand it, it is not crash safe. It can now persist data in some cases. However redis is crash safe to about 1 second before crash or so, if not even better.

    If it were to affect US economy adversely I think FED could chip in and have a say in Libra's direction. But other economies could be hurt by Libra's position. Personally I don't mind the monetary independence of countries. B

    Fixed currencies would only hurt emerging economies. When the economy goes into crisis who will change the interest rates on those currencies and help the economy recover? No one.

    I think they should raise it to 30%. Any given country provides a much better platform to these companies compared to what google play provides to app publishers.

    By saying "cookies and pixels" they are trying to downplay what they are really doing. On a website where facebook pixel is installed, they track pretty much every form submitted and even the contents of those form submissions.

    Recently facebook pixel started collecting information on pretty much everything a user does on the website naming them "microdata". Those users have no clue they are being tracked in that manner.
