Also me, as someone who is living in a place that US may drop bombs on because the models may think it is a military target, or even a higher priority target like a girls school.

Amusingly what you described translates to USA actions if you are from a country in the middle east. For example did you know that there are at least 5M emigrants of Afghanistan in Iran? Not arguing about other nations actions, just a remin

Lime is called "limoo Shirazi", meaning Lemon of Shiraz (a city). But you are right that both are usually just called limoo. Limoo Shirin is a rather common fruit here, I didn't expect that it is not easily found outside Iran

It is just normal consumers doing things that are already accepted, even if not explicitly declared. For taking any substantial amount of money out of a bank anywhere in the world, there are tight controls and nobody can sell oil or deliver

The parent mentioned high transaction fees, that for some people may equal their whole savings. For these people, the best option is just to trust the exchange. But people with even moderate sums can and do transfer their cryptos to their o

As the CTO of a local exchange in Iran, I can confirm that many average people here are using cryptocurrencies for many reasons including countering inflation. We even have farmers and other low-tech workers using our platform. Buying USD i

Access to public repositories was not blocked, so those who wanted to work with open source projects were unaffected. For a while after the GitHub block, many used GitLab. In fact many people who needed private repositories were already usi

Riot (Matrix to be precise) only supports E2E encryption for one to one calls. Group calls are handled by a Jitsi backend and are unavailable in E2E encrypted conversations with more than two members.

I guess those are Django's default password policies and not specific to this project.

It's not a new problem and MIME was intended to give people the choice. Not everyone likes plain text emails or terminal email clients. The solution may be forcing email senders to include text/plain as well as text/html.

You really misused the term "coin". In Bitcoin protocol you don't "put value" into something named a "coin". "Wallet" is far more widely used and well-defined.

I haven't checked their TOS, but practically there isn't any limitations in getting certificates from Iranian IPs or for ir domains. If there is any problem, it is that browser vendors/root CAs/etc are not willing to tru

It's unlikely. GitHub hasn't banned Iranian IPs or completely closed Iranian users, but just blocked those users' access to their private repositories and Gists.

I agree, but my first impression was that you were talking about the US! I live in Iran and many sites are simply blocked for all people here because of sanctions. I know there are reasons and such for these sanctions, but as you said peopl

No, decentralization is invented alongside the blockchain and nothing without a blockchain is decentralized. :)

Almost all of major exchanges block Iranian users. There are risks, but you can use fake identities, VPNs and such techniques to bypass restrictions. The main problem is converting among cryptocurrencies and USD, but there are channels and

This article seems to be just speculations without any reliable source. Using cryptocurrencies for any meaningful amount of money is impractical for sanctioned countries because of difficulties in exchange with fiat currencies. Currently th

Although Signal is not closed-source, they tend to discontinue useful features of their product. For example RedPhone server code has been removed from GitHub after it was discontinued. Last time I checked, it is not really feasible to setu

It is not a regular practice. This year, because of high electricity consumption, working hours was changed to 6:30-13:30 for government organizations. It was in effect for two months in hot cities. DST shift was applied at the start of spr

I couldn't find any mention of Iran in the references. Did you mean "Indonesia and Iraq"?

Probably not, but expectations change through time - especially if you make such a successful game. Quoting from The Making of Karateka Journals: "February 13, 1982 Scott Barnes from Hayden called. Will they ever publish Asteroids? It’

For me, making a better HTML/CSS and forcing it on everyone contradicts with the openness and accessibility of the web. It's 2018 and still there is no reasonable support of not-so-popular languages and locales in any browser or O

Yes, it's great for focusing on content. I wish I could enable the reader view by default for a list of sites. Or even better, the browser does so automatically when a page has lots of text and is not responsive/is too small.

The sites seems somehow immature to me. The "Shared Pipes" sections lists a few examples, but the first one returns an empty feed and the second one returns "Internal Server Error". It is probably because of the definiti

If you use the correct tools, such optimizations introduce little complexity, if any. Just add a gulp plugin or select "optimize assets" in your Netlify panel or something similar. If not using the correct tools, simply you won&#x
