Haha, at this point the only difference between Iran's totalitarian censorship and Western censorship, is that the West does it way better, ref. deplatforming and censorship on both Facebook, Google and Twitter. At this point, even ban

First time I looked into the viewfinder of a Hassie, I knew it was something special. Ever since, I've wanted one. And I got my chance as a photographer friend of mine simply let me lend his 500CM on a trip to London. That got me some

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA) is what's used in Bitcoin (Secp256k1).

Looks like this is yet another centrally controllable currency to woo the masses away from Bitcoin, not unlike Ripple's XRP. Or am I mistaken? It's probably a great vessel for speculation, though, since Facebook is a serious compa

Sad to say, this is not clickbait. Microbes that are becoming resistant due to overuse of antibiotics is a serious problem, especially in countries that repress such information, or where the use of antibiotics is less firmly regulated. I&#

They were using mind reading techniques to remember what was on the minidisc archive....... Ok, I'll show myself out.

Just out of curiosity, how would you delete something off IPFS? Is the only solution to have the address hash point to a program, or app, if at all possible? Or a space that does not update the hash, iven if the "thing" is updated

I think you're touching on an important point. There are already other vessels for the niche that cryptocurrency fills—at least as far as websites and web services go—that are way easier to both implement and use. With that said, I&#x2

Well, at least it's not Comic Sans.

That's the one! ^^ And you're of course correct.

I just don't see it. I've tried Steem and some others experimenting with it, and I'm not really impressed. Could you please give me some pointers as to how it would work? On the other hand, have you tried IPFS?

Have you read Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman? If not, give it a read. ^^

On the topic of gamification, I really like how Stack Overflow did it, with a focus on earned trust and good and dependable answers. For all its faults, I've never seen a site so great at solving actual problems, and not just within IT

Well, homogeny certainly makes a group far easier to lead, since disagreements will usually be on grounds that are way easier to reach a liveable compromise on.

It is largely agreed that Israel won the Arab-Israeli war because their NCO's on the ground were given much more leeway to make tactical decisions of their own. This was in start contrast to the top-heavy and often bureaucratic tactica

You will usually get far better entropy by simply stitching together a random array of everyday words. Example: stitching better everyday words array entropy level. Anyway, as for the too-long problem, then I guess we're back to square

You shouldn't take that shortcut over the lawn either. There are two answers to that very basic design problem: 1. Build higher fences to force people to walk along the prescribed path. This is often met with resentment, and various a

Cars are a red herring. Even gasoline and diesel car aren't really contributing that much to world pollution compared to the real culprits, such as ocean liners and huge cargo ships. These ships alone pollute more than all the cars on

Why not talk to the coal plant owner directly? Or how about the other 100(!) private citizens living around the world who control the companies that are responsible 70% of the greenhouse emissions of the entire Earth?

Politicians trying to save the environment: Policitian #1: Um, I can't think of anything. Can you? Policitian #2: I got it! Let's make a new tax! It'll annoy these guys, while we'll insure our state jobs, and it'll

That's a really interesting effect! Thank you for making me aware of it! However it should be noted that the reason it backfired, was because people exploited a weakness in the system, so to speak. It could even be that they did someth

The web page bobs around when pressing the buttons, when the game area is smaller than the window. Is there any way to make that stop aside from making the area smaller, so that it fits the window?
