It would probably be cheaper AND would feel more "authentic". After all, his main edge over the local japanese stores is authenticity. The fact that it comes "directly" from Japan.

The thing that bothers me most about root is that some parts of it are basically not maintained at all. There are serious bugs in RooFit which haven't been fixed in years. Wouter Verkerke has abandoned it (from what I can tell). Lorenz

The one thing I am missing in the non-ROOT universe is a powerful fitting framework that can do multidimensional and simultaneous fits in disjoint function domains.

My point is that the distinction between "actually innocent" and "not convicted due to a technicality" basically means that due process is circumvented. If the police doesn't have the right to search the house but d

If you are right and nobody cares about it, that's a good reason to remove it. If you are wrong and people care about it, maybe the poster has a point. Nevertheless, I think there is a point in having a coarse activity indicator in ord

In the German source[1] it is very clear that the order is under the condition that Mercedes delivers an autonomous self-driving vehicle. It is also clearly stated there that Daimler is not expecting to be able to deliver such a car before

The issue with subscriptions is that they get very expensive if you want to subscribe to all the blogs you're reading. Maybe micropayments are a better alternative, but the current implementations all rise the barrier of entry in a way

I know. But I think at least for instantaneous payments you will need SOME trusted party, even if you trust this party only for small amounts and a limited amount of time. Also, regarding bitcoin, I'm worried about the future of the n

I recently drafted a protocol for micropayments. It is almost trivial, and while it requires a trusted payment provider which issues and validates tokens, the way it is designed should prevent any vendor lock-ins. My goal was to design some

Netflix is transforming into an on-demand cable channel. I want to pay a monthly fee and get a Spotify for movies. I don't want to pay 10 Euro a month for netflix originals plus a handful of old movies.
