Just so we're clear, we're talking about a virtual coin flip here, right? Anything else would require trust. Even if you tried to use an API that checked the scores of a sporting event.

Markets don't need to be 99.9999% efficient either. Central planning can have a wide variance in efficiency. It could be substantially more efficient or extremely inefficient. If markets are able to reliably produce more efficiently ye

If you had UTC and the original timezone code, you could run a job that updates future timestamps according to timezone changes. This might keep things cleaner.

This sounds more like a case of rental values of locations increasing, as the price of prime urban land is bid up, requiring laborers be paid more to achieve the same standard of living, and inflating costs across the board. Same issue that

I'm confused as to why this is newsworthy? Are we operating on the assumption that the 303 more prolific wikipedians are somehow all without a personal ideology? If the rules he's using are being followed correctly, and if the inf

It's purely a software issue. Microsoft, Ubuntu, and others have come close to building a responsive desktop GUI.

by nwah1 8y ago
Good point. I guess few people use those since phone OSes don't scale well for desktop use.

by nwah1 8y ago
Sure, but most mobile OSes don't support a full desktop experience well, and you're limited to bluetooth peripherals only. Unless you have a rare phone that comes with a docking station.

Certain broadband packages only allow you to get the fastest speeds with a cable bundle. So I have cable, which does have the benefit of giving me HBO, but I use Roku streaming to actually watch.

I think you are being downvoted because you only read the headline. I'm with you that it is ok for the FBI to track people's public comments when they fit a risk profile, and to track their private communications with a warrent. B

The funny part is that Purism was originally going to be based on KDE, then they switched and said it would support both KDE and an in-house environment based on Gnome. Now they seem to be saying it will be based on the Gnome boondoggle. Ca

Titleholders are merely stewards, at best, and it is they who regularly receive windfalls from the productive activity of surrounding individuals. The public are the real owners of the land.

Are you sure? Usually these ICO numbers are calculated based on the market cap of all the coins, much of which would not be owned by Telegram, and would've been sold off at a lower price than the current price. Also, this market cap is

I didn't mean to validate that there was a causal connection, I was just agreeing with the general claim that yes, indeed, dense places (cities)... whether in terms of supply or demand are generally more expensive than other places. Kn

Your point is valid and you shouldn't be downvoted. Empirically, we know that high density of residential units is correlated with high rent. Why is this? It ultimately comes back to the Law of Rent. The amount that landlords are able
