But only if you already have your bitcoins on the exchange. If you keep them in your own wallet you need a blockchain transaction to be able to trade them at all. That will effectively put a limit on the amount of bitcoin that is able to be

The rules should be, and in my experience often are, explained where you set/change you password. So on the account creation and change password pages. The OP is talking about the login dialog.

I know of two government approved methods for data transfers for closed networks, one of which is pretty close. You basically have two servers connected to the same disk array, and they take turns mounting it to move files onto/off it.

I would like to think the open web has not lost yet, and that progressive web apps still have a great chance of taking over. Nobody wants to develop apps for at least three platforms. Nobody wants half their user base use old versions. Nobo

Relying on discipline alone is whats harmful. Studies repeatedly show that most people can not reach their goals by only relying on willpower. Good systems/diets etc define strategies that _reduce_ the amount of discipline required to

How many lawsuits are filed but then not served intentionally (not from lack of being able to find the other party)? If the liability skyrockets there should be a decent number of cases where the suing party has a change of heart and does n

The filing is what makes it officially into a real lawsuit before the court, so it's not a threat anymore but the first step of the actual thing. It might be a tactical move where they still hope to settle out of court, but that's

You're welcome. I looked into it because it would make a pretty cool project and while pretty advanced, not impossible. The cheapest analog-digital-converter chip I found is the TVP7002. Dealing with the digital pixel output is still w

I share this concern. I made a resolution not to tie myself to proprietary services for anything that I couldn't replace/move within a few days. I can move containers, databases and even serverless functions. Starting from scratch

No. It's illegal to make a contract with McDonald's where they serve you a burger only if you don't try to recreate the recipe and then you do it anyway. Well they claim you did anyway.

I'm also pretty sure most cloud systems contain very few condensed water droplets. The containers I work with are not 20 or 40 foot long, and while I ship stuff with their help, no actual ships are involved. Could there have been a bet

You can always normalize it to a "the longer bar is better" measurement. For example instead of "Kernel Compile Time" you graph "Kernel Compiles / hour".

The creativity has to happen at the "design" stage. The best restaurants strive for perfect _repeatable_ dishes, and no cook has to improvise with spices or ingredients on a normal shift.
