To me the worst part is the `100% of the time` interpretation.. Seriously I thought my employment agreement mentioned only 40 hrs a week??.. Unless it has explicit clauses to mention to contributing to VNIC without IBM ID, this is just some

Ah... the problem here is not that the pharma companies aren't getting paid.. The problem is there's a bunch of banks and government subsidies and a lot of middle-people creating cost on top of enabling the funds flow. I am not su

Ah... I am talking about who gets to determine the cost of the coins.. So I assumed it's majority of the people who use it as a currency or exchange. But then that's my default assumption about crypto currencies in general and not

Once again I disagree.. these "some people" need to be the majority(of anyone participating in these currencies) for this mining to stay profitable.. Of course i may be mistaken about that part of the reasoning, but I'm fairl

Because not everyone is the "economically rational agent" that just wants to maximize profits as much as they can. May be you disagree, and think most people are and it's strong enough to be a normal distribution. (I am not s

I disagree with the last part about direct proportionality between energy and money. But my real wonder is if we can use this hashed/mined out coins for something that is actually useful socially.(even if it is a transaction of service

Loved it .... I've been craving a replacement for Douglas Adams for a while now.. Terry Pratchett was quite close.. but now he too is gone.. perhaps it's time for me to find other writers or write stuff myself..

Seriously a downvote ?? for what?? ughh.... "bavula kappa" ==> frog in the well.. a metaphor for biased people(or people who live in a bubble).

Bleh.. .English and it's weird grammar .. Sometimes I find it such a messed up language compared to my native tongue..... I guess it's the separation of modifiers and nouns that's part of the problem.

Please do write about other rabbit holes too.. ..If not a long form article, a short compilation of the holes (and links if you can find the time to get them) would be very useful.. I've been interested and flirting with haskell for a

Here's my take on it... A younger non-parent me understands the western take on "not beating your children" very well. But the current parent me can also see why parents sometimes would beat their kids.(not that it is right.)

Okay few pointers, there's a bunch of dialects in the language that vary mostly based on which sub-part we come from. In turn, most sub-parts have one or other caste majority, additionally, people take a guess based on looks, accent an

I didn't .. and yeah the OP is right about the jhkl keys getting broken up, but I don't use them as much to move around as either wordwise movement or line wise movements in vim. I don't have to more than say 3/4 charact
