Convincing only needs to happen for ideas, not facts. So no, I don't need to convince anyone. But to lead you to the right path, please look up Vertcoin and MonaCoin. Also please look up Lyra2RE and Lyra2RE2 algorithms.
Online time” is a well known expression in certain online games communities (for example EVE Online), and it means the periods of time someone is most active in that game, or on that website. It's a commonly overlooked metric, however it could be critical knowledge for a malevolent entity. The NiceHash hack on the 6th of December 2017 was successful partly because of this metric: the attackers knew when NiceHash employees were asleep and acted during that timeframe.
Here's what you tell Reddit: - E-mail address (unless you're one of the low-single-digit percentages which don't use their main e-mail address to register) - Username (people tend to use the same username everywhere) - IP address (linked to the username, allows the website to build a nice list of IP addresses you post from, together with at least approximate geolocation) - Online times (often overlooked, but important to build a profile) - Browser type. - Any other info derived from your posts.
I understand that FFS! But there's a gazillion websites out there which are simply not actively maintained anymore, and Google aims to mark them all as "potentially dangerous". Technically, they are potentially dangerous, much like getting out of someone's momma's basement is dangerous.
There are websites where the user doesn't care if the ISP is tampering with the connection.
Here's the problem with Google bullying HTTPS: The user will either listen to the warning ALL times and never reach any non-HTTPS website (affecting all legit websites which don't actually need HTTPS) OR The user will click through the warning and visit ALL non-HTTPS websites, including malicious ones (meaning that Google's implementation backfired horribly).
Objectively, there is no difference. people value entertainment differently, a sports car and Fortnite are both entertainment. A family car, now that's different, there's an undeniable usefulness factor to it (although not universal, mind you!).
Oh that makes sense. He should have said pay extra on my mortgage”. Or maybe I am not familiar enough with English to have caught the obscured meaning.
...only for very small values of "all". Most people are sheep and adore shit reviews with little value, presented in primitive and colorful ways.
Jayz2Cents' reviews are usually non-scientific, but fun to watch. He has 1.5M subscribers. GamersNexus' Steve writes scientific, objective, hard-worked and exact reviews. He has 274K subscribers.
I'm subscribed to both, but for a true review Jayz2Cents is laughable while GamersNexus have all my attention. For wacky projects or watercooling stuff, Jayz2Cents is the one to go to.
So, no, we are not "all" tired. Just a few of us with more than half a brain, aka "a small minority".
Kids' clothing is more expensive. Kids' stuff (shampoos, toys, etc) are more expensive compared to similar adult-specific products. It was always like that, only you didn't notice it. I'm a parent of two, I'm very well aware of it.
And it's not mostly kids paying for microtransactions, as a matter of fact a big F2P with MTX game is supported mostly by players over 18 (a bit over 60% of the total amount of money spent is spent by people between 18 and 45 and a bit over 20% is spent by people older than 45). Can't name the game (NDA), so if you choose to believe me, it's fine. If not, that's okay too.
Good for you to have strong opinions. Me, i'm not sure anyone is more right then the next person as far as entertainment is concerned. Person A might spend 100 grand on a really nice sports car. Person B might spend 10 grand on Fortnite cosmetics. "A friend" spent somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 grand on World of Tanks since 2011 - and still does buy premium tanks "for collecting purposes". Meanwhile person C loaned money over and over and spent them on trips all over the world, now he's proper fucked by banks. All while person D poured tons of alcohol down their guts and person E smoked their lungs to Hell and back. And the list can go on forever.
None is better than the other, they simply spend their money on whatever floats their boat. Small condo and pixel-rich versus big mansion and never played any PC games, there's no objective difference.
I've both watched movies and read books featuring strong female characters, and enjoyed reading/watching them. What annoys me is the recent "in-your-face", "you HAVE to acknowledge this!" trend.
A good book or movie doesn't need to yell "IT HAZ STRONG FEMALES", it just works. To me, whether the main character is male, female, child, white, black, homosexual, genderfluid or any combination of the above. When there's emphasis on such traits or however you want to call it, I react.
I read a good book recently, "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman, where at some point he is part of a whole universe of exclusively homosexual people. It was an interesting plot but it flowed tightly with the main storyline, without it being pushed in my face. And the book was written in 1974 - so there you have it, no need to yell "it haz homosexuals!" because the book is good regardless. Let the reader determine what is what.

Some altcoins and their algorithms are ASIC resistant.

Those just off the top of my head.

Same if you're God, but then Occam's Razor comes along and makes you look like a fool.
Not really, no. Chemical reactions at temperatures above zero degrees Celsius happen at certain speeds, and life depends on those chemical reactions.
That's not DISPOSABLE income.

So, tell me then... what do YOU do with your disposable income (if any)?
I'd like to steal one US citizenship for a day and vote Trump (who I dislike) just to piss this annoying fella off.
True, but this falls under the "unintended consequences" part of the game. It's unavoidable.

I am part of such a minority, and that's exactly why I am against positive discrimination.

"and many of the strongest voices and characters in this recent trend have been female"
But of course they have. TFS was interesting right up to its latest phrase. Then the SJW hammer struck.
