Well it's pretty much the addresses you start using when you've run out of IPv4 addresses everywhere else. A very popular example of this is 100.64/10, but one can find little bits here and there. Plenty of providers don&#x27

Point 1: FB can't U-turn. Only the local telcos can do that. Judging by history they will in fact do that. Point 2: FB is not a gatekeeper in free basics. FB simply provides a convenient door for the local telcos to open. Point 3: The

I don't understand why all or nothing is a reasonable demand. If that's your demand, then pay up or otherwise convince the telcos like fb has. What's wrong with that? I do understand why telcos won't give all internet fo

It's funny how you put just the opposite argument of common sense forward and present it as an axiom. The more customers a company has, the worse they treat them. Called comcast recently ? The less choice customers have the worse they&

If BitFury resolved a single doublespend transaction differently from the "main" blockchain, people would(/should) realize that it now has the power to cancel transactions, and stop trusting bitcoin ASAP. At that point you ca

Not true. A malicious 50% miner can cancel any transaction it wants, not just fix doublespend. Assuming the transaction was sufficiently recent (the more hash power they have the more such a transaction can be in the past). So they can &quo

I think the original point I made stands. Hosting on Amazon's platform essentially means I risk my revenue on Amazon's uptime. Actually using their infrastructure like S3 means I don't just risk my revenue but actually get lo

Why ? Let's face facts here : humans can't do a lot of things. There are so many useful things that AIs could do, from space exploration to cheap food and housing, to deep sea operations that humans can never hope to do. General A

This is not true at all. The correct way of stating matters would be : If Apple paid out all of it's $181B to shareholders, it would owe $ about half the claimed amount in US taxes. Apple however has not made this decision not to pay o

Plus it ignores the fact that however racist Europeans are, the new immigrants are far, far more racist. I deal with a lot of different ethnicities and I would say that Jews and Chinese are about as racist as Europeans. Americans have this

AI can probably actually improve this particular incident. Having a "rocket" that doesn't explode but drops an AI controlled drone that kills (or even just disables) exactly who is targeted seems like it would be far superior

Go's scheduler is a single threaded event loop, like every other scheduler on the planet. It runs, sequentially, in different threads which makes the situation confusing, but it's still single threaded. It's also cooperative.

Qt and Gtk's single threaded event loop are akin to what Go calls it's scheduler. That scheduler in Go is also (partially) single threaded, but event handlers run in other threads. Having event handlers run in separate threads is

Go's brand of duck typing isn't exactly a novel type system. If I had to describe Go, I'd say "I like Hoare's paper" combined with "I read the first 10 pages of the book 'my first compiler'"
