Here are three things I'd like to do with Leaflet, or generally just have from an online mapping tool: 1. Use WebTorrent[1] as the tile provider (would probably need a canonical WebTorrent server so that all tiles would always have at

I'm surprised I don't see negative income tax brought up in more basic income discussions. A NIT with a flat tax[1] has always seemed to me to be a really pragmatic way to implement a basic income. [1] https://en.wikipe

Why not both? To me, your argument sounds a bit like the argument that we shouldn't be exploring space because we have enough problems here on earth.

It's worth reading the Zcash perspective: > At first, 50 ZEC will be created every ten minutes. 80% of the newly created ZEC will go to the miners, and 20% ZEC to the founders. > Every four years, the rate of ZEC being created wi

Agreed, those are among the reasons I haven't picked one up either. Not sure what price One Plus 3 is, but it's worth noting new Privs on Ebay generally fluctuate between 299 and 350 USD, which I'm guessing may be similar to

I'd been holding out hope for a good Blackberry Classic-like with Android for a while (like others in the thread, clearly). If the BB Rome/Mercury is indeed cancelled, my only other hope is that a future Fairphone[1] device gets a

Exactly. Since Termux[1][2] I've been pining for just this. Add a removable battery back in and I'd pay lots of money for this. The long rumored Blackberry Rome/Mercury seemed to be something like this [3] (minus the remova

There are clearly a lot of people that share this sentiment, and sometimes I sort of do too. Is there an answer for those who feel this way? A directory of sites that are pure html, no scripting (and maybe no styles)? a next-gen gopher? RSS
