It is correct that both parties need this for better quality?

Bitcoin, once more popular and stable, will make it hard for these regressive plans to be implemented.

If anyone wants to start a fund to sue Amazon for this, I am ready to pitch in a $100.

But again, thinking about doing something and actually doing it makes all the difference. You do not have 100% control over what your think. Sometimes you think about something and then decide whether to do it it not by predicting the possi

An article on peer-2-peer payments, and not a single mention of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies?

I think it was more of an example of an imaginary emergency situation. You can hard program the corners, but you can't successfully predict all kinds of emergency situations that may arrive. Another example in that article is better: A

Don't the ad blockers disable Google Analytics by default? If I am not wrong, I think uBlock Origin does. So, I think, as more and more people will start using ad blockers, site owners will start getting less and less accurate stats fr

Why are we still using Credit Cards as payment processing? Why can't we have something with a "Push" mechanism, instead of the "Pull" with the CCs.

> I too find acts of violence upsetting, but it's dangerous to buy into the propaganda around the word terrorism, since it's used to justify abandoning diplomacy and dehumanizing the enemy. And it's used to curb the rights

Yes, but the fact that Martin Shkreli wanted to buy the rights for this drug makes me think there is somewhere a list of potential drugs that can be exploited in this way, and multiple companies are bidding for them.

How did I not know about Cliff Stoll until today?

That correct. I use the web app as well. It works pretty well.

Ditto. I never installed the messenger app. I would use the facebook app for browsing, and logged into the web app for messages. But then I realized I can do all the stuff in one place, the web app. So I uninstalled the main app as well.

It could just be my experience, but I have very rarely seen a non-white person working at an In-N-Out.

Exactly. I thought it would give me a list of resorts in remote areas, away from cities, close to wilderness etc. But it just uses Foursquare and Instagram check ins. Who uses Foursquare anymore?

Unjustified credit card fees and the financial/psychological burden of chargebacks (resulting from uncontrollable credit card fraud) are the main reasons why I want the Bitcoin experiment to succeed. Lets give Bitcoin some love where i

by ubersync 11y ago
Exactly. I hope we will see a world soon, where Bitcoin (or another cryptocurrency) is as ubiquitous as credit cards now. Transaction fees for a failed credit card payment? Its more than insane.

Another point to notice is, they are probably doing this to save money on bandwidth, at the cost of the user. Commercial bandwidth connections are usually at a "wholesale" price, and consumer connections are really really expensiv

Ethereum is getting a lot of heat for being "pre-mined". What stops someone from running an alt-ethereum blockchain which is not pre-mined? AKA a non-pre-mined Ethereum fork?

It will never go to 0. I will buy all at 0.001, and I am sure a lot more people are willing to bid more than that. Anyways, will you eat your hat if it ever goes back to 460, or 1000 or 2000?

That was just a flash crash. It has stayed well about 200 the past 6 months.
