Stellar has a few nice improvements on Ripple, but they're planning to scale using Lightning, which remains pre-alpha because it depends on open topics in Computer Science being solved to route effectively.
I just can't wrap my head around the idea of a photon lingering about and imparting its energy back on Earth TODAY.
Photons don't have to linger - they travel at c and thus don't experience time like we do.
From the photon's reference frame its creation and destruction are instantaneous events. It's just hard to see that in 'Flatland'. Imagine mapping the two photon interactions into a single event from its perspective - like flipping entangled particles just being the projection of a single 5D object into two coordinate locations in 3D+time space.
People who are concerned with the lowest up-front cost only will experience Google levels of support. Their management never looked into TCO at their low-cost business school.
These people make frustrating customers and will eventually be overtaken by competitors who understand RoI. Don't get mixed up wit the former type - there are plenty of latter-type fish in the sea and they'll be around as customers for longer.

WinRAR was shipping a proprietary free-as-in-beer DLL to uncompress ACE archive format files.
WinRAR uses 'magic' to detect file types so malware authors are naming archives '.rar' to get it to WinRAR which then passes it into the vulnerable DLL where it uses a path traversal exploit to install malware.
Since nobody uses ACE format files anyway the WinRAR authors dropped support and removed the DLL.
Users need to update and Windows doesn't make that easy like linux distros do.
Maybe it's just me but I find the vague and nebulous "popular" articles to be confusing and hard to read.
This has been well studied; the predictors of success are: intelligence, industriousness, conscientiousness, some disagreeability, and luck.
Some people are dealt good and bad hands on any or all of those criteria. It's good to both have empathy for the less fortunate and to try not to attribute too much of any of the criteria to those who have significant luck.
Bill Gates has been wrong about so many things, but he had above-average scores on most of those things and quite a bit of luck (that his mom sat on the UNICEF board with the IBM chief). People therefore ascribe extreme intelligence to him - but it doesn't work that way.
I will deeply respect the first environmentalist I meet who tells me he's switched to taking cold showers to Save The Planet(tm).
At least ethically, if not scientifically - so far they've all wanted to force others to change but maintain their high consumption ways personally. They say it won't make a difference if only they do it - millions of them say this.
Nobody likes waiting for trains. So far there hasn't been a better option but that doesn't mean you should avoid better options when they're available.
Model 3's don't seem likely, at least long term - "and a vehicle with capacity for about 16 people" as TFS says.
Effectively they're describing autonomous short buses, presumably with constant availability.
It sounds like he could be more than a year late and still be done before the convention center opens, but it's not just you and I that know that projects delivered late reflect poorly on the business.
When it turns out that human-caused warming is a small percentage of the warming, people are going to have to do geoengineering if they want the planet to stay cold.
They ought not do that, but the rich who own the coastal cities don't want to lose their investments and the people who want to centralize power and levy more taxes are happy to cooperate.
The people claiming "precaution" also stand to benefit from not cooling the planet (in their lifetimes).
Isn't it amazing how people like this AC can't get Trump out of their heads? I've been busy the past few days and can't think of the last time I thought about politics.
It's probably homoerotic fixation as sexual urges can be all-consuming. I hope he can get some counseling to talk it out so he doesn't have to spend his days lashing out on/. to try to convince himself he doesn't have these feelings.
I'd switch to T-Mobile if they had rural coverage but they don't. Being able to use a phone as a phone is an interesting thing to classify as a 'feature'.
VZW prepaid works where the others don't so they get my dirty money until a competitor comes along.
Trusting math means others can find holes and they can eventually be fixed. You should probably issue an HMAC on your vote using your private key (so then you have a key management problem, not a voting problem...) .
Trusting people means every single time malfeasance will happen somewhere and that can never get better. So that's worse.
But voting is the suggestion box of slaves so even if the technical problems are solved there's not likely to be any real change anyway. Securing voting is just a proxy symptom alleviation to the underlying problems.

Why is this still a company and not been shut down.
Most people don't care about their online privacy unless it's nudie pics. Seems strange to most of us here. They think we're strange.
cf. Snowden revelations going over like a lead balloon.
lots of definitions:

Noone is going to prison - that's what megacorps are for.
At the worst they'll scapegoat one PE.
How else are they going to get copies of Angel Merkel's phone calls in exchange for nudes?
Everybody now knows that the IT dept has no budget.
I'm not saying a gray admin who works there proved the point, but one could imagine that scenario.
Cheering that some dumbass disclosed it instead of helping out the folks at https://sci-hub.tw/ ?
No, this is a loss for citizen scientists everywhere.

Meanwhile Ripple developed Cobalt because they need to scale today.
These national banks got snookered by IBM, sadly, but IBM can't control Ripple so they're not going to back it.
It's said there are two kinds of Wells Fargo customers - those who have been fucked over by Wells Fargo and those who haven't yet been.
You have to handle the big banks like this:

you need to change your consumption preferences

When do we get forests on Antarctica again? The fossilized record reflects a long wait between forested periods on Antarctica.

While it may be ok to overstate how fast and how far things will go when developing a new technology, this is something they'll be relying on.
It doesn't sound like there's much new tech to develop, just some dispatch software. Musk delivered the South Australia battery in 63 days:

POTUS only gets mid-level clearance. He's mostly a figurehead for the masses, not a Constitutional CiC.
The Espionage Act of 1917 saw to it that the bureaucracy implemented compartmentalization and took actual control.
But go vote and get a sticker ... you're totally in control.

Hey, some of us used Windows in high school too. Oh, wait, Linux was released during my college orientation week. Nevermind, as you were.
I got those speeds once from a public 4G tower - it was grand. At a popular beach resort area in NJ.
Everywhere else I've been it's 10x slower. Probably distance to tower.

Some people just want to destroy anything successful because they are personally failures and cannot stand to be reminded of that.
Sure, some have academic, if poorly constructed, arguments but the number of people emotionally driven by jealousy is staggering.
There is a plethora of "man on the street" videos on YouTube asking people about taxing the rich that clearly illustrate this principle.
