Not bankruptcy, but "skuldsanering", which resembles "debt relief order" in English. It is a system for heavily indebted people to free themselves of their debt after living on a minimum for five years. It also includes

I really like this one: http://www.michaelnielsen.org/ddi/how-the-bitcoin-protocol-a... He designs his own cryptocoin to explain the choices made by bitcoin and how it works.

Wouldn't shifting backward make more sense? That way you beat the other instead of playing equal.

I wonder if this algorithm could be used to avoid collision if many send at the same time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Organized_Time_Division_Mu... It assigns time slots to users without the involvement of a cen

Ah, that makes sense. It would lead to a lot of rock-rock etc., as the winner stays and the loser moves to the winner hand. I wonder what the players pick then? If both move up one it would lead to an even larger number of same-hand encount

Interesting how the pattern "rock-paper-scissors" is followed. If this is because of the name, Swedish people, for example, would follow another patterns as they call the game "rock-scissors-paper" (Sten-sax-påse).

Here is a t-shirt that is available to preorder and has similar features. It says the effects will hold for "up to 80 wash cycles". http://silicshirts.com

Yup, that seems to be exactly what I was thinking about. Thanks for replying!

This might already exist, but a user management as a service provider focused on security. I'm afraid that if I do a website and it is breached, all the users would suffer. Therefore I'd rather someone made a service that kept all

I'm pretty sure whatsapp does that - just tried sending a message while in flight mode, it appeared with a little clock to it, indicating it was going to be sent once back online.

It must be incredibly difficult to turn the whatsapp service back on after an outage, since most active users have probably sent a message that is waiting in the queue. Literally hundreds of millions of messages would hit the server once it

Agreed. I think many people (myself included, probably) aren't equipped to deal with constant streams of criticism and abuse. It's a shame the internet had to react this way. The guy seems really humble and deserving of the succes

Exactly! It's incredible how much money and resources are spent of moving slabs of meat around.

I think the fact that they did lose as much of their uniques means that there is not a lot of brand-loyalty in the market. Then no people would form loyalty for competitors that are now over RG in the google results and they would be back o

My favorite tool on the list is Everything search, which instantly finds all files. It has completely changed the way I use the file system, to the point where I will rarely even open the Windows Explorer.

Do you think you would if you knew exactly why the other person was paid more, and how you could get to that level? I find the public table a lot fairer than not knowing how much the others make and why.

I love it! Great design and should be very flexible to create simple functions through linked numbers. Is it really a good idea to allow 96 + 15% though (at 0:45)? Might cause some problems for people learning maths, as it won't work o

True, but if the global salt is secret, it'll at least make it slightly harder for the attacker to figure out the password. For example, if the password is "a" and an unique salt is available in the database, it'll be tr

Isn't there value in having a long global salt to make bruteforcing harder in case the database but not the server code is compromised, though?

I believe this would be perfect for transporting Automated external defibrillators ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_external_defibrillato... ) to people with heart problems immediately. These have to be provided
