London Trust Media recently hired Mt. Gox (yes that Mt. Gox) ex-CEO Mark Karpeles as CTO. https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/22/mt-gox-chief-returns-as-...

The guy who created this is the CEO of "essentia.one", who are listed 4 times on the infographic. Blatant self-promotion. Cringe. https://twitter.com/ZagoMatteoGian/status/100942661434465894...

Hey @xur17, I run arewedecentralizedyet.com - we should partner on adding this metric. Really great work!!

You could just use a log format that excludes or obfuscates IP addresses, I believe.

Good point, it likely does. Alternatively, you could set up the rules using country and list out the 28 that make up the EU.

Absolutely, and that's what is happening right now. I honestly don't have a solution for this problem... other than trying to make it as least appealing to these institutions are possible.

(author here) I agree! I was calling out Bitcoin's initial goals in the article but don't 100% align with them myself. Financial institutions came to exist for a reason and I'm really not on board with everyone "being th

To make it even worse, this ICO is being run by that RadiumOne asshole who got jail time for extreme domestic violence: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/12/gurbaksh-... Crypto gold rush is

Are you from the https://www.notion.so team? UI looks eerily familiar.

This looks fantastic. Agree with others that a trial or free version would be great to test drive it.

Handling and manipulating data in an obfuscated web environment (Electron) is not fun. Native will undoubtedly offer better memory handling and performance.

Yup, fail whale.

Ha, the top 100 holders own ~99% of the total token supply. Really poorly executed distribution model: https://etherscan.io/token/tokenholderchart/BAT

Shame to hear this... although I guess there is less demand now with hyper-targeted invasive social ads. Working with The Deck previously, Jim was always such a pleasure to deal with and it felt a lot more personal as a network vs. Google o

This still doesn't explain how large scale search indexing could take place effectively... the data still needs to float upstream un-encrypted, processed and indexed. Somehow offloading full-text indexing to the client, uploading encry

Bravo, 100% behind severing ties with YC until they break ties with bigot Peter Thiel. Bigotry != difference of opinion. It's inciting violence and hatred, which is different and very dangerous.

My guess would be closing stages of an acquisition, code audits etc. etc.

It's obviously a bug in his environment... this is a beta feature they're testing and hence not perfect. I've tried on multiple machines and it's working. Perhaps he should try a reinstall. Agreed it's annoying, but

This is just blatantly false... the setting to disable the feature works after you've restarted Dropbox, just as the UI tells you to. Proof: https://twitter.com/ummjackson/status/782387668713771008/pho...

Nice!! I did something similar as a side project a few months back, but browser-based: http://ummjackson.github.io/uber-data-extractor/

Nice! Curious - how are you getting an image back from FB with just an email? Is there an open API?

Always cringe when I see someone with a vested interest (this guy is the creator of a .Net NoSQL DB) write a "debunking" article like this. Reads like a rant.

Very cool. I started to do something like this with WebTorrent but hit limitations on the seeds available (especially if you go down the WebRTC seed path). What's your seeding set up like?
