I had the same problem, but it was because one of my privacy extensions had disabled WebRTC.

Correct, but you only have to trust a centralized company within your own country. You don't have to trust a bank or money transmitter in a foreign country. In the case of people in countries where they don't have an adequate leve

Your argument against crypto is one of the more compelling I've read. I like the "deep local optimum" visual you painted. I definitely agree if you're comparing "crypto" directly to centralized companies doing

> about my language there's more info at https::/darklang.com. I find it slightly reassuring that someone is actually working on a language/compiler with PaaS features built in. I'd thought of doing that and jotted it

My farm consists mainly of rx 580 graphic cards. Due to depressed markets, my returns are just okay right now. Luckily my equipment has been paid off since December. To put things in perspective, a single 8GB rx 580 costs around $400 (if yo

I know HN is rather negative toward cryptocurrency in general, but for me it's fun. I run a small mining farm in my basement. It keeps my sysadmin skills sharp and more than pays my electric bill. On a side note: none of this is really

If what you say is true -- on top of that, your ISP can also (in theory) fingerprint you as someone who is avoiding their DNS servers.

Thanks for posting this! I'm always interested in other people's experience with anxiety. I'm slightly jealous yours has an origin story though. I've been anxious for as long as I remember and can't recall any traum

I get what you're saying, but your math is a bit misleading. As far as I know, the missing 4m are a subset of the 16m already mined. That still leaves ~5m to be acquired in the future, albeit rather slowly.

Does anyone know of a good introduction to urbit? Every few months it pops up, and I can never quite wrap my head around it.

Is there not a chrome/ff extension? You could quickly create a bookmarklet in the meantime.

Not op, but they have no-iron dress shirts that look pretty good directly out of the drier.

Does this affect how you perceive designs with colored text in them?

It still does a pretty good job at preventing jitters. However, now that you say it, I think the first few times it had more pronounced effects. I'll have to try resetting my tolerance!

I drink about 12oz of black combined with L-theanine every morning. Caffeine alone tends to induce anxiety.

Yep, thanks. Didn't change it to TB on the calculator.

Do you have something else in your estimate? It shows as $5.63 for me.

Your story sounds so familiar, someone could read what you wrote above and think it's me.. though I like to think of myself as a generalist rather than "fullstack". I tend to believe "fullstack" is a marketing term

It's parallel because AWS Lambda is inherently parallel? Or are you referring to within JavaScript?

I've recently installed Enpass and I'm currently in the process of evaluating it. I really like the idea so far. My main concern is that they're not charging enough and wonder if the business model is sustainable.

I've been doing something similar to your everydaycheck app, but manually using google sheets for about a year now. Works great for me too. Your app looks pretty neat! Does it get much interest from others, or are you the main user?

The main thing is how you are able to offer unlimited disk, when anyone can start uploading data? Some users might upload very large amounts of innocent data, others might simply abuse it as a sort of data backup system. More nefarious user

Do you plan to curate the free plans? If not, how will you prevent abuse? (thinking in terms of both the service and its users)

My initial concern was an aggressive server timeout on nginx/haproxy. I think the defaults should be long enough, but it's entirely possible to have something lower than 20 seconds. (and the app developer might not even be aware o

I'm not too familiar with ruby/rails, but does this mean the HTTP request just sits open for up to 20 seconds? Is this common/acceptable practice? # user is given 20 seconds to approve the request 20.times{ sl
