I don't mind the 'business model' (I think it's a bit rich to be asking $5 for this, but then you're asking $5 from people who spent $2000-4000 on a laptop). What I do mind a bit is how depressing it seems - I guess

Tagging is the first step, but how do you know if you don't have overlapping or duplicate tags, say country and folk music? If you need something that fits both categories, you eventually start designing taxonomies and eventually ontol

I quite like the idea of keeping the website as static as possible - it reduces the attack surface and plays nice with CDNs and you only do dynamic stuff ad-hoc...

next up - a practical introduction to implementing a relational database from scratch. It's great to learn about the cryptography behind the blockchain etc, but the herd mind is horrible - so many better things to spend one's time

what does prevent you from storing your private keys today? Nothing. The association with Stellar might imply a higher likelyhood of something valuable crypto related being there. However, I don't care, if the security of keybase is so

where on earth do you get 9% returns on 'safe' investments? According to historical records, the average annual return for the S&P 500 ('aggresive') since its inception in 1928 through 2014 is approximately 10%, but

I have looked at a few, the fees and the opaque structure scared me away. I would like the control, of being able to sell my share on the open market at any point (at close to face value, obviously) and being able to benefit from a proporti

I would pay $10k for a share in an honest, low fee property investment. I can't afford losing liquidity to buy another whole property, but I'd like to invest a proportion of my savings against rental/commercial properties, as

Indeed. The author of the article seems to be implying certain things without any evidence. Most people in Poland dabbling in crypto are very well aware of information in English and use exchanges and websites that are in English anyway, so

I think very few in the Western culture will encourage that, but if it's your nature, don't fight it too much, you don't have to be the hero that ships app number 1000000021 in the app store. Get or keep a comfy '9 to 5&

The reinvention of XML in JSON is almost complete - JMESPath vs XPath, JSON Schema vs XML Schema etc. If you need semi structured data to that level, consider using XML instead - you can validate it, there's plenty of tools, it's
