Yes, and maybe that was the main obstacle to implementation. Reading some of the original literature, and glossing over the textbook, it seems like many of the issues involved with double spending and counterfeiters are _eventually_ resolve

Well, there are both a Quora response and a Forbes article decrying their regression in free shipping (or non-Prime) timeliness, with some people suggesting that it is intentional. Most recently I made an order of three items from Amazon an

How could they? The communist party would have to literally read every book and watch every movie for approval, so to really go by the rules, the only content they could offer is media in favor of the cultural revolution. I doubt Apple even

Even if you can get free shipping on Amazon items, the amount of time they spend stalling the shipment is ridiculous. It's better to boycott Amazon because of their anti-consumer attitudes.

It shouldn't be too surprising with China's history of censorship that they would ban iTunes from selling books and movies to their citizens. What's surprising is that they apparently allowed it for several months.

Yes, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are obvious comparisons with the amount of instantaneous radiation affecting thousands of individuals. My initial thoughts went to Marie Curie (small amounts over time), and Harry Daghlian and Louis Slotin, or ot

TIS-1000 is a bunch of fun, the way it combines assembly programming in small bits with the puzzle of connecting different black boxes. Interesting trivia: the creator of this game, Zach Barth, created Infiniminer, the precursor to Minecraf

It seems you are right about hospital evacuations. From 2012, "A hospital [Futaba Hospital] near the disaster-stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant made no mistakes during a hasty evacuation in March 2011 during which 40 patients and

This is not even remotely true. The harm caused to people who evacuated was finding a new supermarket in the (nearby) town they moved to versus significantly higher risks of cancer if they had stayed. Think of a 10x increase in rates of Thy

As others have answered, it doesn't help fix this problem in any way. I'm assuming the team doing this investigation wasn't willing to rewrite `__inet_lookup_listener`. I guess the quick fix became the concern at that point.
