I haven't been this entertained for the mere price of $12 in a very long time. I think it's worth the price of admission even if I never even try to upload an image.

I see humor in the entire project, and am okay with this. Given Stavros' clear intent to be funny and make it abundantly clear what _isn't_ being promised, it's pretty great. I mean c'mon - have a little fun. At any rate

This seems like a great way to get fools to trade something valuable (the electricity they pay for to run arbitrary computation) for something worthless (a new crypto currency). If you think of electricity as fuel for computers, similar to

Pay-as-you-go compute pricing means this is $$$, which I'm guessing is the tradeoff. But hey, classic time/money tradeoff for some level of automated (non-customized) performance -- should be good for a bunch of common use cases t

All work actually requires servant leadership to be maximally effective. This article does a great job of explaining it in the software domain. My wife works as a school principal and though the specific jargon would be different, the lesso

I think in that case people will fall back to buying the brands they know rather than trusting the reviews. There are plenty of other reasons people are loyal to Amazon, so bad reviews on their own, I don't think, will be enough to sto

And a known-good product doesn't mean it won't have fake reviews. The fake reviews are there to boost sales, even for legit products. If it's an arms race for reviews, at some point, even good products will have to pay up to

I hope the OP doesn't seriously believe that charging for open source work will somehow "fix the diversity problem", rather than magnify it. I'm hoping that was just an off-handed line that didn't get much thought b

Meh. The best use of desktop-style computing these days, in my opinion, is if I can easily covert them to a commodity Linux box later. It's the only way to reliably extend the useful life of old hardware other than selling/donatin
