EOS tried to use on-chain Ricardian Contracts and pair that with upgradeable smart contracts in C++ with DPoS consensus so that intent-of-code could be enforced. That's pretty "real world" but most people feel it's not u

Pokemon will enter the NFT digital collectibles space, and it would be absolute crazy if they don't already have a team working on it. All of these collectors are making assumptions based on information other collectors have shared abo

Our small team spends roughly $40-50k/mo at AWS. If you're just hosting a website with a SQL database (glorified LAMP stack), you're probably in it for the wrong reasons. Stick to a dedicated box or DigitalOcean etc. AWS is l

As we head into the post-truth era, we already know videos are going to become far less trusted due to deep fake tech. Finding grains of truth through cryptography, like DKIM, is so refreshing that it hurts to think some people want to crip

I don't frequent /r/wsb, but the onus should not be on the SEC to clamp down on a community, it should be on the service the "significant young people" are using to execute satirical investment advice. For example,

Annoying for sure, but one benefit of this approach is due to forwarding. For the moment, let's assume you have a newsletter you enjoy. If you forward an instance of that newsletter to your friend, and they aren't expecting it, th

We've had "Add List-Unsubscribe Header" on Trello for a long time, but for some reason I had it in my mind that there was a ~60 character limit. I appreciate the post because after revisiting it, I think that info was gathere

Largely impacted by this outage was how it affected those who use Facebook Login as a convenient OAuth option. Good thing for developers to remember if someone asks them to avoid a native login option.
