No. This was a loss in the court of public opinion. If I sue my landlord and win, I do not give him/her credit for paying me the damages assessed by the court. In fact, in the above analogy, I would in fact take a debit...

are you obligated to be accurate? I appreciate the list (thank you, or thank the curator) but I would imagine that if you are independent you have no obligation to be correct?

I agree. There is a difference between using "encrypt" in the title of a product thats core functionality is encryption and the main name of their company; "start". If they modeled most of the marketing and branding on L

> Acting in bad faith so openly lowers them to the levels of patent-trolls. You seem to imply there was a time in recent memory where comodo itself was at a level above patent trolls. At a high level, patent trolling is associated with

that is not true. again, we aren't talking about a coursera course and paywalling information and vital self-learning here. We are talking about a dollar for a luxury game on a device that costs nearly $1000 and $100 a month for servic

i don't know what to make of this. so you correctly predicted that 5-10 years of lurcrative sales in a closed system didnt feel right to you because you were a big fish in a pond that woud become larger, so you stopped /dead/

a 2.7m contract is basically the exploration of the exploration of the idea of the possibility of a product. Healthcare.gov is essentially a standard html website and ti cost >800m. I am sure they (us gov't) is interested in this, a

Awesome job btw. I love the site redesign, but it has always been quite good aesthetically. If I could hijack this comment briefly, I would like to ask how you see yourself vs. Stripe, who has a lot of advantages in the payments information

I agree. Also, if the above definition was enforced and we assume everyone was rational, there would be no contracts or smart contracts. If I click "yes I accept the TOU" and $1B USD is debited from my account because I overlooked

I can appreciate this, but I find it both true and irrelevent. It is not as if many people here (I would assume) would choose Trump to be president out of some crowded room of well rounded and accomplished people. I guess I'm still won

I would be interested in a repo or post about your setup for the actual project; downloading, storing and using blockchain data. Sounds super interesting so if it(article, repo, site) isn't private & exists, would be keen. Cheers.

I was thinking about this yesterday. Other than PGP keys, what about cell phone numbers? Everyone collects email, but for real transactional services, a phone is better and an email doesn't matter.

there was an article on here which I found more in depth than this, about why tokens are a good way to do auth. Im on mobile, but it was ~6 days ago if someone digs it up. However, I guess I don't understand what the actual argument is

I said this below but I'll say it again, race & ethnicity don't matter. This was anti-semetic because the author is jewish, just like it would be anti-muslim, pro feminism, anti-feminism ect. It's like the scene in fight

I just listened to Altman discussing this at a recent interview and it is obviously something he thought a lot about. If you can't watch the video he says that ai is an amazing resource and YC is funding a basic income study in oakland

I like Zed Shaw, his writing and learncodethehardway. I am not sure I agree with someof his conclusions here but I am not sure yours are correct. One of the key issues for me, Shaw and many others based on comments, is lack of explicit perm
