Yeah, because the 'sell support/hosting' model has been such a failure /s You don't have to be in academia to afford to write F/OSS nor is it financially draining to do so.

All the barrier islands are beautiful - Cumberland, SSI, Jekyll, Tybee and they aren't too busy (well, except Saint Simons during the GA/FL weekend which is a blast in and of itself).

That's the dumbest way to enforce IP law. Just take the companies to court in the US if they sell in the US or international court if selling to other countries where Chinese companies compete with American manuf. - tariffs just aren&#

China also gives us goods far below what we could produce them for which lowers our cost of living. Complaining about China stealing $300b (I'll use your number because it doesn't really matter) in IP is like complaining about hig

The problem is that areas that are affordable enough to create more, cheap housing are not near the services that the homeless need and use. I'm in Denver and housing in the city is somewhat pricey but there is tons of land just outsid

We just love weed? For me putting a little tincture in my coffee in the morning is the perfect combo. The weed takes the slight edge off my massive mug of coffee so I get the energy but not the cracked out feeling that lots of caffeine can

To add a counterpoint - there isn't anything on the line in grad school when sharing stories of drug use... completely different ballgame in the professional world. I've only had one coworker where we mutually admitted to smoking

Addy / Vyvanse seem to be the doctor's choice (as well as college kids') so it is generally just more available and seen as safer than straight street speed. Similarly, coke is also much cheaper / readily available in th

If it is any consolation, this is neither the norm nor legal in the US and at least one of the companies in question claims they give 2 x 30 minute breaks per 8hr shift

I think his point is making a big assumption that replies are bucking - dressing more traditionally formal != pride in appearance. In fact, as the sibling comment to yours points out - that's not the case at all. Being individualistic,

Because home control / voice control is already established (Google Homoe, Alexa, etc). Why would I want a single voice controller when I can leverage the mesh of devices I already have around my home?

Luckily that's no longer an issue now that interest has faded and the mempool has cleared. Also, reducing on-chain transactions (and thus keeping the mempool clear, on-chain fees low, and verification times low) is pretty much the main

Also, the move in in-car systems has been to essentially mirror the phone whether through CarPlay or Android Auto. I don't see how legacy navigation systems can even come close to competing in this space

Also, how are we defining value? Bitcoin certainly brings secure transactions to the table which has its own value (just ask the likes of Western Union, Paypal, etc...)

With LN there are less transactions on-chain which reduces fees. Also, finally the temper-tantrum throwing core-supporters are quickly realizing that a block size increase is absolutely necessary going forward

100% of that goes to the state you purchase/register in, correct? There is currently no federal EV tax that would offset federal fuel taxes that help fund interstate highways, correct?

and even then, crypto could be seen as a better store of value than the traditional market so even a bear market might not negatively effect the crypto space or at least not to the same degree as stocks

That poll has nothing to do with support for S2X though (or more generally, doubling the block size irrespective of the particular implementation)... rather just which chain would get the name 'bitcoin'
25.
by linuxps2 9y ago
Which to me is just stupid - like taking 5 min to increase the blocksize is going to take away significant development effort from more novel solutions. Meanwhile, tx fees are stupidly high and bitcoin can't be used as a currency for s

It also narrows the number of use cases you have to account for which gives google time to flesh out the platform one use case at a time - something the consumer market simply wouldn't tolerate

None? You seemed to have touched mostly on consuming CSV and safe ways to do that and suggested XLSX - I'm just adding that digesting CSV safely isn't our biggest issue, it's getting vendors to use something other than CSV
