Exactly my thought. They could have these produced for cheap and throw an army of them into the oceans. Pretty sure the new Escobar equivalents are already working on it.

These are the guys behind www.onyxplatform.org. That alone tells me this is legit stuff. We will give it a try.

You've only scratched the surface of cryptocurrencies and come here to make bold, completely untrue statements about their properties. Having a central actor, like a government, would solve a lot of scaling problem, as well as transact

Scala is a very confused language and specially about the use of Options vs null. I find that Rust and Swift enforce Options a lot better.

In this day and age, it is beyond my comprehension why anyone would choose waste a major part of their day in long commutes, pay extortionate amounts to rent and be bound to a single location. Most coders are way more productive away from t

That statistic in skewed because most of the murders happen in the favelas within drug gangs. City areas are ripe with petty crime but murder is perhaps as widely seen as London. Plus... it's not infested with security cameras.

I'm a Londoner living in Sao Paulo for a year now. I haven't had any security issues whatsoever for now. I do however follow the Brazilian common sense rules of keeping one safe when going out.

This is just depressing. A lot of the people here can get a remote job for perhaps 10% less income, move to somewhere cheap but with great internet and spend 50% less housing/food and leisure. My internet connection in Brazil is 10x be

The kinda comment that shows how arrogant we are in thinking if there are no humans, the planet isn't worth saving.

The description and intentions seems disingenuous from what I see and what others have commented. Please flag this.

You'd have to try it for yourself I guess. I loved Lisbon as a place to visit, but living there was a totally different story. Sadly (and apologies to the Portuguese here) Portugal is a harsh country to immigrants, especially Brazilian

Yes well paid US based programming job. I transferwise.com funds, you have to read rules about your country of origin and double taxation laws. Brazil is a bureaucratic hell. I speak very basic Portuguese but taking lessons. I would definit

I moved from London to Lisbon and then to Brazil. I get the same kinda "wtf" reaction from Brazilians. The bottom line is, with all that's wrong in Brazil and given my circumstances and my remote well paid job, I'm a lot

Well this is exactly what I was wondering last week after noticing the USB-C port on the switch dock is labelled "Power Adapter". I thought it was a little off that there is no mention of USB-C, either not to confuse the users or

I'll question the information merit of any rotten source. I suggest you do the same.

In that case, that would be absolutely none of your business. You're making assumptions and jumping to conclusion about what went on.

We'll end up doing exactly the same here in the West. Just after much drama and a few terror attacks. I admire the Chinese for their efficiency.

Neither lucky nor smart. When the technology came out, I put the work in, studied it, realised the potential and invested what I could afford to lose in it. Calling us lucky is very condescending, but I really don't mind it with my cur
