Did anybody notice that they killed the email obfuscation service? It made possible to share publicly your email, which was getting revealed with reCAPTCHA.

Yeah, the Bitcoin fans always arrogantly assume and claim that they are smarter and only they can get Bitcoin (which shows how flawed their thought process is anyway as if Bitcoin is so hard to grasp, how can one hope for mass adoption). I

No, SWIFT is not slow. I move money from US to EU in 12 hours thru wires and pay a flat fee of $20. SWIFT is fast, it's just a messaging system, but slowness comes from elsewhere, for example, going thru correspondent banks. "Seri

Tell the billion consumers out there that Apple Pay (and Google Wallet) are no innovation! It's fast, it's secure, it's convenient - nobody except the crooks and those vested in it need Bitcoin!

That's another more practical use, yes, but still traceable.

With price fluctuations of Bitcoin, 4% could be a pretty good deal!

Coinsetter always posts self-serving bullish posts about Bitcoin! You can trick people only so many times!

Don't bet on it! I've been using TransferWise [0] recently - it's cheaper than Bitcoin as its fee is up to 1%, which is lower than Coinbase and all fees (and possible losses due to rate fluctuations) associated with buying on

The problem is not complexity, but uselessness. Why do anybody need Bitcoin, especially when the price is not doubling every couple of months anymore? Also, with Tor being owned by the NSA, even those interested in buying child porn or ille

I think people finally realized that Bitcoin is never gonna be a mass-market thing... especially after Apple Pay.

I've always wondered why stating that blacks are better at certain sports is not considered racist toward other races? Anyway, when people and scientists are punished for expressing thoughts just because some find those offensive (thin

Although in the past I've implemented Xapian [1] over Sphinx [2], Sphinx today seems to be much better, but both Xapian and Sphinx are under-appreciated compared to Solr [3] and Elasticsearch [4]. [1] http://xapian.org/

Bigger issues for me are: * Why queues are limited to just 500 items? * Why I can't slice a queue by facets (genre, year, rating, stars, etc.)? * Why I can't control the queues of my children (I really want them to stay away from

I contacted the author on Twitter, he said there are some licensing issues preventing him from open-sourcing it, but it's in the plans.

This is nice for non-production environments - I've been issuing self-signed certificates, but this is a much more convenient approach and I'm pulling sleeves up to implement this.
