I'm also confused by the public debt number. It is far higher now than in 2008.

How I see the basic difference is, you have a choice to use Bitfinex or not. If there is an exchange that really finds a way to reduce this behavior then it would be very attractive to consumers. If the federal government and their regulato

I don't really strong sense as to the fate of bitcoin but I think about the fact that it survived the Mt. Gox disaster. This is something far less scandalous.

This person(or people) could also just sell the bitcoin and get their money out of BTC. How would that be any less effective. I guess I'm really not even sure what you mean by "clean" or "shady."

I do think competitors are catching up with shipping. I honestly find the reviews helpful. I could be completely wrong but the reviews on amazon seem superior to most other e-commerce sites. I could read the reviews and buy somewhere else b

I'm pretty late to this party, so it probably has already been asked but what specific things need to be supported by mobile Safari to run a PWA?

I was wondering what prevents someone from sending an initial app UI?

If I were to apply the idea initially expressed to your comment it would be to say "why not give people the choice to invest in non-SEC regulated markets." If the effect is net-positive, than why would you have to force people to

I would say yes. :)

How is it "ludicrous" for memossy to ask a question? In short, the idea that people must be incompetent because they're in the government is pretty ludicrous. The comment did not express that. It was mainly about transpar

Please expand upon this comment if you have the time. I've read some opinions that are opposite to what you just stated but I am all ears to hear more to the contrary.

Actually there are still transaction fees in the bitcoin network.

That advice is very different than suggesting that every time I cross a border follow all those steps. The advice that would be similar would be to always have your home wiped of any information just incase the police come knocking at your

What if the only thing that is ever on your phone is a few pictures and boring text messages? Seems like a lot of trouble just to be not insane.

It's interesting to understand the roots of words but in this case I think the relevant information to be considered is how the word is generally understood today in the context that it is currently presented.

I don't think that really matters. If I only post really worthy articles in my blog it doesn't become a scientific journal. I'm not saying that I believe peer-reviewed journals are the end-all-be-all for science but it does s

I have always thought that but it just crossed my mind that credit cards are basically just terrible loans. You could still give out loans in cryptocurrencies. Maybe Master Card could just switch if a particular crypto currency gained wide

I haven't been following SnapChat too closely, I know they made some glasses not too long ago. It is surprising to me that they are trading on the ID that they will be more successful in AR/VR. I can't imagine have invested n

This seems to be what I'm hearing over and over and luckily it is pretty close to how I assumed it would work. I think I am going to build an API inside my rails app which the python then uses to access data and update parameters. I ha

Isn't this solving a different problem. pushbullet is for sharing data between all your devices. magic-wormhole is for sending files to other people's devices.

This is just an anecdotal account of your single experience, it isn't making a strong case for your general point.

I think the reason it seems so strange is because they do let some things be "public." There was a time when you could see zero content without being logged in to an account. I would prefer if Facebook were a 100% walled garden. I

It's a bit of tough comparison. When I used AOL, it was literally my "portal" to the internet. I may have even used a browser embedded in AOL? Facebook is not that for most of it's users. But that being said, if we are j

The 16 year old is saying you probably don't know what SnapChat is if you are "old." But you can't assume that he doesn't use Facebook based on that quote.

I think the main argument of the article is a little murky. The notion that you shouldn't write an article to be shared around the web on Facebook is simple enough and pretty obvious to a technically savvy audience. But the argument is
