You're honestly expecting an aluminum can the be intact after it smashes into a reenforced building at a few hundred miles per hour? The plane is there, this group of pictures includes pictures of it. There just isn't much left.

That interview was the final straw in causing my total loss of respect for Wikileaks. Trying to profit politically off the death of an innocent man is vile. Forcing his parents and family to endure the weight of the conspiracy community i

House prices are skyrocketing but condos are still pretty cheap. There just isn't any more space for actual houses in the city so the ones that are there are extra valuable. You can still find tons of 1+1 units in the city for under $

When I smoked I would keep my hands much closer to myself in the winter(since I was cold standing outside like an idiot). So the smoke would definitely have more of a chance to waft over my body.

More pleasant? Cigarette smoke is awful but there is a reason it's called skunk and it's not because it smells nice.

Toronto has stunk like weed for years. It was pretty common for the elevators in my condo buildings to stink like it. Walking down sidewalks, etc. My wife is from Australia and use to comment on it all the time. I hate the smell but was

Given your apparent unwillingness to pay for any of their services anyhow I'm guessing this mental filing will only serve to save them money.

As others have said though they aren't holding out on basic security. They are holding out on custom domains with security. They provide SSL for free if you don't use a custom domain. It's unreasonable because they provide

Right so it's just a different way to solve the problem. Satoshi didn't coin the term blockchain and they existed for a long time before bitcoin so giving him sole claim to it because it paired it with a feature that isn't sp

If you want to register and run a us entity it helps but most people don't want that kind of hassle. I've done it from Canada and Australia and unless youre planning on getting us investors is probably not a good idea. Though I h

Just to give a bit more detail with a blockchain you need some way to limit who can create a new block since you can change history by building a chain on an earlier block if you can create as many blocks as you want. In public networks thi

The use of PoW isn't what makes a block chain a block chain. The idea is that you don't have a single trusted party you have a collection of them that need to collude to cause harm to spread the required trust.

There are different ways to limit who can write to a chain at the current time to reduce overhead. PoW is just the most popular(are arguably the best for public chains). Private chains don't need that since you know all the participa

I don't think I'm reading this negatively. I'm genuinely curious as to what sort of reaction would make you think they wanted to strip search your son. The only image that comes to my mind when I think of someone wanting to

It's not about the lyrics being deep almost no lyrics in any popular music are deep except in a im14andthisisdeep sense. It's usually about not understanding regional slang or inside jokes. For example I really like grime but I h

First up the government there have already started arresting the mining operators so probably no longer looking like that wise of an investment on their parts. Other than that it's a much safer bet in Venezuela to buy USD than bitcoin
