Embedding css into a webpage forces this css to be loaded every time. Even if the css only contains what's needed for the page, it can still be a lot. Caching it is just common sense. I think if you try and calculate, there will be a l

This is absolutely completely untrue. I've heard this so many times from my Ukrainian friends. If Russia and Ukraine swapped populations somehow, but leaders would remain the same I guarantee you would do absolutely nothing in the circ

I should also add I watched Mr. Navalny speak and he is: 1. Not a good speaker. 2. Very populist. 3. Doesn't understand economics. 4. His whole campaign is based on criticism of the incumbents and he has very little to show for how he

What really pains me is that people participating in such protests don't understand neither the dynamics, nor history and are thus unnecessarily hurt. Any leader stays in power so long as he knows where the money is (controls money flo

I believe the best one is "Mastering Bitcoin" Andreas M. Antonopoulos: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Bitcoin-Unlocking-Digital-C... It's fairly technical, but gives good explanation of how everything works

In my experience, 99% of people who talk about the blockchain innovation have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. They also have no idea (or pretend to have no idea) why Bitcoin was invented in the first place: it was invent

Not directly answering your question, but I've actually gotten interested in D because I wanted to learn something I can code hardcore stuff in (I mostly do web: js, dart, ruby, bitcoin in js). So I started learning D and thought I sho

Without going into a lengthy discussion, I respectfully disagree with the author: adaptability is NOT more important than immutability. If you don't have immutability, it means there is a potential to avoid consequences for your action

Not being happy with React or Angular, I wrote a very clear and concise solution in Dart (with components as the main idea), I hope someone finds it useful: http://nestui.romansnitko.com/

In case you didn't notice, it's not about fingerprints. It's about the principle. It's a fight between business and government. Government wants money and control, businesses show they can't be blackmailed like that

If a business feels like regulations created by the government are not reasonable, it has all the right to decide to stop doing business. Government shouldn't be regulating such things in the first place, but since it does, it surely c

I think you misunderstand the purpose of Bitcoin. It's not meant to be a payment system, but rather a settlement layer.

I'm absolutely fine if the world at large doesn't use Bitcoin. People who understand the value of it will continue using it. And the fact that bitcoin is used for illegal purposes marks it as a success, rather than a failure. You

Don't speak for most people. Most people know nothing about Bitcoin just yet. Can you be more specific about where the financial experiment of Bitcoin has gone wrong and why?

by snitko 10y ago
What you're trying to do here is to project your hatred for Bitcoin using fraud as somehow representative of the ideas embedded into Bitcoin, which have nothing to do with that fraud.

No, I'm just a bit exhausted from talking about it. Yes, I think government and democracy in general are bad concepts. Yes, i think people would be much better off without both. If you want to explore the idea, you just need to start a

Perhaps temporarily, yes. You can outlaw cryptography, but the more governments resist it, the faster it will take over.
