   You don’t think that those third parties would move their apps to be exclusive to their stores? The way it is now is very straightforward. If you want an app, you know where to get it. You know who’s vetted it. You know who’s handling your

   Can those things be had cheaper, while being guaranteed interoperable and directly integrated into a trusted hardware security enclave without any further integration headaches?

   This isn't a particularly good analogy. Microsoft didn't build those computers. Microsoft didn't sell those computers. Microsoft didn't ship those computers. They merely licensed their OS to the manufacturers and&#

   My "listening space" seldom exceeds an inch from my head. Either AirPods Pro or Sennheisers right in/on my ears. That's going to be the target audience of the majority of these changes. I choose 'phones because my m

   Seems like I've bern hearing "Eth is switching to PoS" for like a couple of years now. What's the actual timeframe for that move?

   And a lack of time and effort put into the committee led to the expense of having to buy out 1/3 of the staff. Wonder how that balances out.

   If you think a party planning committee doesn't have real power and influence, bring nothing but carrot cakes and oatmeal raisin cookies to your next party.

   It's a committee. Not their primary job focus. You seem to be willfully misunderstanding that.

    I was making a parallel point about language. Your "well aaaackshually" derailed it.

    Who stands to profit from FOSS, self-hosted password management solutions (e.g. Keepass) then? Generating long, high-entropy, unique passwords and then not relying on your brain to remember (and your fingers to type) is always going to be m

    That's exactly my point. The "noobs" will always outnumber the knowledgeable in-crowd. They are the ones who will— ahem —coin the generic term.

    Nope. That's still an in-context word. The generic word will be whatever John Q. Public with zero knowledge or care calls it.

    There's a generic word for facial tissues, too. Language doesn't care about the semantics.

    All proof-of-work is. Because the "work" being "proven" isn't actual work. It's just waste.

    It seems inevitable that "bitcoin" (as opposed to "Bitcoin") is destined to become the "kleenex" (as opposed to "Kleenex") of crypto. Etherium fits the bill: it's a digital (bit) currency (coin).

    I would hesitate to call it a scam, but it definitely seems like they're inspired by Ready Player One at least a little bit, and may well be overzealous.

    The entire problem is that people don't want to be associated with videos which have already been uploaded against their will. It seemed like your comment missed that point. The proverbial horse is already out of the barn, and it sou

    Don't vote for mayor/governor candidates that glorify the police. Choose ones who want to divert paramilitary funding to other social safety net services.

    What you said looked more like "If women didn't want videos of violence against them uploaded, they shouldn't do that."

    IF there are 10-20k "people like you" making the "not really selfish" choice, they're doing as much harm as the person who drives 10-20k miles a year. It's about network effects. The more people we get to make

    I got to see Booker T. Jones (of Booker T & the M.G.'s) and his B3-into-dual-Leslies setup at a show a few years back. It was awesome. That man put on a helluva show.
