    Not much considering how cheap most customers are already.

    Of course it’s only out of what is pledged. Did you think the creator got a cut of the service fee?

    Where did I pretend it didn’t exist? Oh right, nowhere did I do that.

    That is true. It’s tacked on to the amount not taken from the pledge.

    Where are you getting that creators only get 68%? How does 95 cents per dollar equal 68%?

    You seem confused. The service fee is not taken out of the pledge, it’s added on top of the pledge amount.

    When has that ever stopped people from whining?

    But that requires work and stuff. Complaining on social media is far easier.

    Yeah it does that using Shazam.

    real Parmesian

    If that’s what they call the cheese I can gaurantee it’s not “real.” The real stuff would be called Parmigiano-Reggiano.

    Yeah but this scheme is a hot way to score VC money.

    No it’s not. It’s stored on a parition of the SPI flash used by the Quark CPU that runs Intel ME.

  14. Re:Already exists on Blockchains Are Poised To End the Password Era (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    But those don’t say blockchain in them so good luck getting a Silly-con Valley VC to take notice. This is all just a scam to score VC money from suckers.

  15. Re:Sounds idiotic on Blockchains Are Poised To End the Password Era (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    It is idiotic, but since it uses “blockchain” in it that means they’ll easily score heaps of VC money to burn for years.

    Verizon already halted fiber expansion and has been selling off parts of their landline installations. You’re quite behind the times.

    having a terrible track record of making secure designs, let alone secure implementations, and then often languishing efforts on fixes. All of that is a security nightmare.

    So it’s right at home on 99% of Android phones then?

    They should rename the site in honor of “Chips & Dips” to “Shits & Giggles.” At least then, the Digg-quality submissions wouldn’t be so unexpected.
