  1. Re:That's how people talk. by onyxruby · · Score: 1, Interesting · on Former Reddit Executive Sees 'No Hope' For Reddit (nymag.com)

    Censorship on Reddit is alive and well. Freedom on Reddit only exists for politically correct opinions. This has been going on for a few years now...

  2. Re:This is a good use of Cryptocurrency by ancientt · · Score: 2 · on Venezuelans Flock To Cryptocoins Amid Spiralling Inflation (bloomberg.com)

    The need for faster transactions might help explain the rising popularity of Ethereum. From themerkle.com: "the average block time sitting at the 14 second mark ever since April of 2016."

  3. Tether USDT by xororand · · Score: 1 · on BitTorrent Inventor Bram Cohen Will Start His Own Cryptocurrency (torrentfreak.com)

    The Tether cryptocoin ("USDT") is backed by US dollars. There is 1 USD deposited for each USDT.
    You could do just the same with physical gold.

    This has worked wonderfully in the past, until Wells-Fargo decided to block all transactions to and from Tether, allegedly for money-laundering reasons.

    Now 1 USDT is traded for around 0.90 USD as holders are starting to get anxious because the situation hasn't been resolved for weeks.
    This, in my opinion, has also indirectly increased demand for Bitcoin, driving its price up.

    Thanks, Wells-Fargo.

  4. Linux *scalability* - far wider than Windows by emil · · Score: 1 · on Android is About To Eclipse Windows as the World's Most-Used Operating System (cnet.com)

    Linux scales to far larger systems than does Windows. Microsoft does not run on the top 500 machines.

    Microsoft has been squarely beaten in mobile and enterprise systems. Microsoft is now the "OS of the gap" and is being crushed in the vice of Linux market share.
