I recently had an Android app removed from the Play Store for offensive content in the screenshots. We're a music site/radio station, and the name of the song playing in the player was 'XXX'. That's all it was. It

True. But the prices of most of the ALT coins are correlated with BTC, which has also caused them to go down too (in the same way they went up with it before May). I wonder if the future push towards Proof-of-Stake away from Proof-of-Work w

Interestingly, I heard that Terraform's registry is hosted via Fastly. I was wondering if there was any correlation with the timing of this release and Fastly's outage earlier.

Nice. This reminds me a lot of the 'String Art Generator' https://github.com/halfmonty/StringArtGenerator to recreate 'Pin and Thread' art. Also see a ' weaving algorithm' here : https:&

Are you sure these aren't extensions on the 2017 'ban'? (As well as more attempts to 'crackdown' in 2019) Isn't Binance based in Hong Kong? Either way, if indeed clickbait, crypto does seem to bounce around on

Surely this is also very much related to the recent announcement in China [1], banning financial institutions and payment companies from providing services related to cryptocurrencies? [1 : https://www.reuters.com/world/

I really hope they don't rush all this merging and forking. And also "audit the auditors". So they don't end up on a future rekt.news leaderboard.

Might be an idea to replace the included (one year lifespan) CR2032 battery with a rechargeable one. And also include (embed/hack) a wireless recharging module in the base? Otherwise, in a about a year, you're going to get the not

Google Earth VR is fantastic. Especially during the lockdowns. It felt like going out! ;) I'm wondering if the Timelapse will get added to it. (Used on a Quest 1 and 2 over Virtual Desktop to a PC)

I've had the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and had no side-effects at all. I did actually expect to, since I used to always react badly as a child to the flu vaccine we had at school. Also, I've heard of friends and colleagues who fe

I've always thought the most scary thing about this practice is that your (unique) phone number is a powerful "foreign key" which could potentially join data from many other leaked databases, forming an even larger dataset on
