In a previous post about PHP, people were complaining that you still require nginx or Apache. I guess OP found this while looking for an alternative.

Miners don't just receive the fees. They also receive the mined bitcoins.

The amount of hydro electricity that can be produced is fairly static, so increasing hydro consumption means that other energy sources (mostly coal) are needed to pick up the rest of the demand.

We've already had billions of dollars worth of ICOs. How much more money is needed?

The protests in Hong Kong are organised over Telegram but there is not much appetite for rioting thankfully.

I don't think matrix can scale to hundreds of thousands of users in one channel at the moment.

One of the biggest problems with this is everyone always chooses the newest produce so even if something has plenty of time left it ends up being rejected. The fix is stock rotation but it takes a lot of effort to ensure older produce gets

Depends on whether you measure the profit and loss on a first in-first out basis, which is the norm, or not. If you measure it as FIFO then it's very unlikely that you are locking in any losses and are just cashing out earlier gains.

"Main Street is the now, Wall Street is the future" is the main point. Yes, things are bad now but it's not permanent.

Other articles are saying that the US is sitting on a foreclosure timebomb. Not sure if real estate is safer than index funds right now..

Where's the incentive to fiddle your taxes? Yes you can donate your money to bring yourself into a lower tax band but you will still never have more in your bank account by doing so. e.g if there is a system where tax is 10% then it go

That doesn't make sense. Once you hit a threshold, usually the amount of money below the threshold is taxed at 0% or a lower percentage, then anything earned on top is taxed at a higher rate. You still earn more money by earning above

New York is desirable because of the other people and businesses in New York as well as being one of the cultural capitals of the world. Those can't be replaced by Zoom calls, no matter how hard we try.

I had to do that because of the sheer amount of softcore porn (ads for Chinese livestream services such as MeMe and MoreIn) in the YouTube adverts in my region.

Be careful when creating terminology in a regulated industry. Just because an insider exits a position, doesn't mean they have reduced confidence in the company and implying this could get you in trouble.

Customer service agents aren't your personal punching bag and they usually have limited power to rectify the situation. The person in CS who was receiving that complaint could hardly force the plane to depart.

GP didn't make that claim. They were clearly pointing out a very common way of "solving" the problem of deleting data.

I didn't vote you down but the comment was a bit ambiguous. It's not clear whether "nothing here" means "no access" or "no problems".

This is how most services work at scale. It's much cheaper to set a flag than actually delete an entry in a database. The data can then be scrubbed by some periodic maintenance process.

The problem with Compound is that lenders and borrowers are rewarded with a utility token which is more valuable than the interest on the loans. This creates the opportunity where you can lend money and borrow money collateralised against t

As per the OP, the Quality Migrants visa becomes harder to obtain once you reach 30. Japan wants young talent to replace their aging workforce so youth is valued and considered. Grinding in the valley could have caused him to lose the chanc

Yep, your feature flag is probably not going to prevent data from getting into an inconsistent state. Maybe it's possible in a system with very loosely related entities but for most non-trivial systems this isn't true.
