Or it would signal that ending austerity is actually impossible for Greek politicians. If several parties in a row had promised to double the number of moons, they would also have had to renege on that promise. The main difference is, of co

That's a good point. If I do a follow-up, it will possibly be on my personal website. For what it's worth, I'm responding to inquiries with my identity and more details. So far, I've received several really interesting p

Thank you! On a general note: my apologies for not including my identity and portfolio; I didn't want this experiment to be the first hit when you google me.

It doesn't need to be on all the time. It can just take however long it wants to start up, connect, and transmit the order.

Sounds similar to a pyramid scheme, which happens to be a felony.

Do you have any scientific sources for that?

You do: that's the signal that's sent over in 5ms. You then combine it with the local price 5ms ago, and you can construct the exact same instruction the computer in the center would have come up with 2.5ms ago, based on the price

Why would you want to place the server in the center? If you have a computer on both ends, then the information from exchanges reaches the other exchange at the same time the instruction from a computer in the center would, so you can have

Your site says your technology is patent-pending. What's that patent about?

It seems that the CIA actually doesn't know who they are, given that many of those that were tortured for months turned out to be innocent.

I've had that experience (with Cloudflare in general, not DNS). My average response times as measured by Google webmaster tools went from 30ms to 300ms, if I remember correctly. This way ~18 months ago though, so I don't know if i

0.02 cents and $0.02 are two different things. I was confused by your reply. See [1] for a very frustrating example where Verizon reps made the same mistake. [1] http://verizonmath.blogspot.nl/2007/08/original-reco

You should probably consider the investment in R&D to invent the licensed IP; it's probably less profitable once you include all of the R&D Microsoft has ever done.

Probably partially because there's stuff (think vitamin B12 for the most extreme example) you can't get or can't get easily from a vegan diet, needing (oftentimes expensive) supplementation.

What's the statistical distribution for the location of the pebble? (Without that, the answer is "it depends"/undefined.) Note that a uniform distribution isn't possible over an infinite line.

Yes, since it doesn't seem like something that costs billians in R&D and needs a patent for a government-enforced monopoly to make back those costs.

You don't ask for your message back, you ask for the message Snowden sent again. The MITM-party can't have that, assuming that Snowden started with your correct public key.

> Uh, didn't it compromise security by making it possible for someone else to MITM the rest of the emails Snowden received? Yes. The solution is to make him repeat his original message as well, which couldn't have been intercep

I'd like to note that an a/b-test saying it's more profitable doesn't mean you should automatically follow it. A random example: The people who don't download your software because they can't find the price mig

It's still fairly alive in the academic community, with things like Sweave/knitr/IPython workbooks/Maple stuff/etc.

So my interpretation of how this works is that there's a server at api.iflix.io[1] which acts as (caching?) torrent client, and the browser just streams from that server. Seems like it probably won't last very long due to copyrigh

A friend told me their mailing software (or rather, domain registrar email forwarding thing) wouldn't accept an email address with one of the new extensions of more than 3 characters. So I'd be careful using it for serious busines

The main issue with that is, that the variable introduced by not doing an experiment double-blind can only be measured by repeating the experiment double-blind.

I think one reason is that many people in the bitcoin market are unsophisticated compared to your normal market traders. But also, Bitcoin is an asset all by itself. You can't hedge it against other assets, like you can do with corn or

You could always make the cable out of balloons. But I guess that would be rather expensive.
