They also provide regular database dumps so it should be easy to match up the files to their content.

While the patent clause is part of the issue, the WP leadership has been given a lot of backlash for their choice of React. It is (rightfully) seen by many as overly complicated and not a great fit for the WP admin panel. When you combine t

To be fair you can do a lot with simple heurestics. New package + large number of downloads || new package || new package author = show users a warning message before installing the package.

This exactly. When Disney has nothing on Netflix, people will miss it. It is a risky move however, as Netflix is sure to launch shows targeted to the Disney demographic very shortly after Disney leaves, and they are a force to be reckoned w

I said western-world families. That amount is chump change to most of them, considering how expensive it is to raise a family. Nostalgia + keeping their kids busy = priceless.

I agree with this. Most families in the western world would pay upwards of $30 to be able to show Disneys back catalog to their kids. Unlimited nostalgia. But I hope they don't pull a typical Disney and portion out their content by arb

The issue here is that whoever drafted the rules did not think to offer an easy way to appeal the results. If the person in the article could have just said "can I have a human do this next time" there wouldn't have been a pr

The biggest leverage they have is threatening to leave the platform, which they should do.

High stakes based on how aggressively current legislation is being drafted. Unless of course Coinbase plans to run away with everyones money long before the class-action suit is filed.

If it was, why don't they just say that BCC withdrawals will be available in the future? - If BCC really goes to zero, nobody will care and it will fizz out. - If BCC has value, users can benefit from that value like the rest of the ec

I don't understand how Coinbase can justify this. Of course Bitcoin cash will have value, and of course they are trying to pocket all that value themselves. If I had any money in Coinbase, I would withdraw it immediately, because a com

This type of thing exists, there's even a saying for it in swedish - "grabbig stämning" (loosely translated: "frat-house feeling"). But the last time I remember someone behaving like this was when I was just startin

To be fair, PHP by itself is not the issue here, the issue is rather being amateurs (Mark, Ross) who started doing a fun project and ended up brokering millions of dollars without having the experience or opsec of doing so. This is what lea

I find the tidbit that he moved the coins back to MtGox to be hilarious, and that being his downfall oddly poetic. It's like robbing a bank, just to waltz in with their money the following week and deposit it into that same bank.

What exactly do you mean that the value of BTC comes from trust? The only ones I put "trust" in are the owners of giant mining farms that have the possibility to cross the 50% hashing threshold and break Bitcoin. I also understand

That's a very one-dimensional view of things. Blockchain technology carries with it the possibility to change how we think about and use money. Bitcoin is a zero-trust system that still manages to hold $41 billion dollar in value. Howe

Flashing can be a bit iffy, it being made as a Chrome extension is a weird choice. I never had any big issues with flashing, and once the device is running, I find it more stable than any of the Pis that I have, as the Pis always tend to ge

Unfortunately the CHIP ($9) hasn't shipped for a couple of months while they revamp their CPU. I have a few and they truly are exceptional hardware and probably better than the Zero for your needs due to onboard wifi, bluetooth and 4GB

As a OpenVPN client, the Pi handles 10MB/s without breaking a sweat. It's a quad core computer after all.

Neither. But as I use Google Maps almost every day, I feel it's beneficial to both Google and me to improve the map quality.

Can't help but to feel a tiny bit of schadenfreude since they locked themselves into proprietary platforms and now are desperately trying to claw themselves out of it into the warmth of open source.

I think Ruby is essentially dead in the waters. It just has no unique selling point. Python is better at small scripts, machine learning and mathematical application. PHP7 has much better tooling for HTTP, the largest CMS systems and doesn&

As someone who did a lot of market research before launching a paid plugin, the main reason is exposure. There is no other marketplace that comes close to the number of potential customers. Of course, you can roll your own solution but sinc
