How is borrowing then selling 140% of the available shares legal? How is that not market manipulation? This is the market at work. This was taken too far and the market has a method for correcting this behavior and we're seeing it now.

It sounds like they're only suspending free accounts for adblockers. At the same time, I don't mind spotify tracking how I use the application. It generates valuable data for their product managers to improve the overall experienc

The NSA has never done something on this scale. With sec researchers looking at _everything_ right now it would have been uncovered by now. The major point in this story wasn't a hardware hack, it was a hardware hack on a MASSIVE scale

With 100B XRP eventually in circulation, $10 would give it a preposterous market cap. The current price is based on only 38B tokens in circulation.

Babel and webpack make debugging with the v8 debugger a nightmare. How do you approach that and avoid using console.log everywhere? console.log can be great and 90% of the time it's enough but for that other 10% I'd rather my debu
