Wait, I'm confused by your numbers there. Buy: 300 LTC @ 241 = $72,300 + 1.49% fee ($1077) = $73,377 cost basis Sell: 300 LTC @ 251 = $75,300 - 1.49% fee ($1122) = $74,178 gross $74,178 - $73,377 = $801 net and that's before acco

I am really skeptical about this being worth $5 a month. I suppose you could look at it like you're "buying" 12 free games for $5, since you do the discovery and vetting for me. But ... the spectrum of quality in free games i

I kinda feel like this is an unnecessarily judgmental article about what comes down to two people with incompatible core values that never should've worked together in the first place.

Oh. Hmm. On other sites like plug.dj you can pause and when you unpause it just catches you back up!

On plug.dj, this isn't true. Playlists that are in the queue will repeat after all the songs from that list have been played once.

It even shows the YouTube pause icon thing when I click on it. This is really frustrating.

When I clicked on the link, it brought up a page that was already playing a song. I tried to pause it and couldn't. I had to look for the volume control instead? Why can't I pause the song?

I am a hyper paranoid person. If I don't check my phone, I think that someone might have messaged me. If my phone's notification light is blinking, I think of all the things it could be; the possibilities occupy 100% of my brain.

I can't view the video here, so reading the article was valuable to me.

I was kept occupied throughout the game and I didn't go out of my way to collect things (in fact it's rare for me to find a game in which I do that). Also, quicktime events "replacing skill" is a little unfair. What skil

My muscle memory is astonishingly strong (probably from two decades of classical piano training). I use this to my advantage with passwords: When I need to generate a new one, I play a "song" into Notepad (or vim as the case may b

The legal answer to your question is that they reserve the right to refund your ticket at any time up to the point of you actually being in the air. Buying a product at a retailer, where your interaction ends when they hand you a receipt, i

To me, the difference is in the free will. The computer doesn't have a choice; the dealer does.

There's a fairly large difference between advantage players and what these guys did. You have to keep in mind the spirit of the machines. Video poker machines are meant to play poker. If you can somehow find an edge in poker itself t

I came into the article prepared to agree, as I've seen articles that have more filler images than content, but in this case ... they only had two that weren't direct content. To me they didn't really detract from it.

Just food for thought, not looking to spark an argument or anything -- doesn't it seem like canceling your account now is a little premature? Why not wait and see what changes actually happen, and cancel in protest to those?

The two have different scopes -- you guys aren't really comparing fairly here. To someone who's never done it before, "building a working web application with 3 docker containers" -- no matter what that application does

I would hazard a guess that it's a result of the brain interpreting the electrical impulses before providing the "image" that we "see." It does a lot of pre-processing, so to speak -- which is why we get such awes

I do, and, honestly, I'm not a huge fan. The editor is fairly slick but the code base is an absolute rat's nest. If I want the power of a full-blown this-gen engine, I'd turn to Unreal; if I want rapid iteration and relativel

Some of the things on that list actually sound like pretty cool challenges. I'm thinking about the mobile one, for example -- since the commands players use are limited to an API, could a drag-n-drop interface for that API work? Then t

That's not fair at all. I enjoyed reading about ancient timekeeping and the theories that powered them. I had no idea how they tracked time at night, for example; now I do.

I think you've taken one sentence out of context, and then blown up that up, way out of proportion. Taken in the context of the last paragraph of the article, which is where the sentence is, it's a little more insightful, and cert
