What is Reddit’s plan? They seem to simultaneously hold two conflicting ideas: 1. Third party app users represent significant enough lost revenue to make it worth making the API prohibitively expensive for third party apps to run, forcing t

I would happily pay more for an account with port forwarding enabled. Maybe charging more for port forwarding enabled accounts could help offset the increased trouble caused by port forwarding abusers. It might even push some of them to oth

As far as I’m aware Mullvad doesn’t have a method of automatic recurring payments. So they can’t operate on the gym model. Only users who want to use it pay for it repeatedly.

Awesome response. You've answered a lot of questions I've been wondering about. Thanks!

I'm not sure it's that simple. The problem is you can't have the system act intelligently[0] on the data at all . If it is allowed to act intelligently on the data then it can be instructed via the data. You could probably g

You say this as if people aren't working on finding a cure for baldness. Of course they are, the profit motive is certainly there. The demand for such a cure is incredibly high.

I've been wondering this too. How can the smart people working on these systems think that this is the right way to control them? Jailbreaks and other ways of getting them to do unintended things seem akin to social engineering to me.

This list was nice to learn about some apps I wasn't yet aware of. One thing the author mentioned as a "con" a couple of times is "No option for automatic deletion of messages". It might be worth noting that no app

One thing I don’t like about the protocol is that LN nodes must stay online or risk having the other parties of their channels steal their funds. I know there are watchtower services to help guard against this but needing to trust a 3rd par

This is pretty clearly not a failure of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin et al. are still chugging along just fine. This is, once again, a failure of a centralized business in which people placed way too much trust. I hope SBF, and other "crypt

Wait, why does a Bahamas based company get to choose the jurisdiction where its bankruptcy proceedings are held? Surely if they are a Bahamas company they are beholden to Bahamas bankruptcy laws?

Ok, my previous comment is a bit unclear about what I mean. In my opinion if there is a group of people, other than the participants themselves, who can control the operation of the financial service then it is not decentralized. There can

Another good example of this flexibility in C is the inverse array notation (I think that’s what it’s called, turns out it’s impossible to search because all the results are about reversing arrays). arr[index] is equivalent to index[arr] Th

Ok, but they still didn’t actually seize anything. This is like saying they seized your bank account because they took the wallet which has your debit card in it.

I don’t see how this helps. If the law applies to Indian customers then the Indian government would just claim that they need to keep logs of customers connecting FROM India, rather than TO it. If the law is written the other way around the
