I don't think justice is reasonable when there is very good reason to suspect that the motives behind it are politically driven. Rightly or wrongly, he skipped justice because he was fearful for his life. Similarly, should we reject refugees and let their country deal with them because they know better? Who is to say that justice is not reasonable in their country but reasonable in ours?

I feel like that too. But the problem is, browser just aren't fucking good enough. We're restricted by the shortcomings of them, so you have to use other people's code or you'd never get anything written. But it's definitely a good point about using other people's libraries (who use other people's libraries) and so on.
Yeah that's right. In the same way, a lot of MVVM frameworks have patches to make things work on all browsers, and have kind of taken over the job of jquery. All browsers still have nuances that can cause big problems without a lot of testing.. history api is one example.
Yeah.. and the last big revolution work out great against Edrogan in Turkey didn't it? How many moderates were locked up in prison as a result? Fucking imbeciles use words like fucking imbeciles to argue their point.
The current president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, is a moderate reformer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How the fuck is a revolution going to make that situation better for the people of Iran or the stability of that region? This is clearly about the US working with the Saudis (who bombed the world trade center, which was used as a pretext to invade Iraq) and the geopolitical advantage the US has if they are allies with the Saudis, rather than allies of Iran (their protestant/catholic style enemy).
It all boils down to the US worrying more about Russian influence in Iran, and countries closer to Russia, and trying to calm down the nutjob Saudis, while also keeping Israel happy so they don't have to stockpile more nuclear bombs.
Isn't it about time we show countries like Russia that we can be more functional if we focus on fixing our democracies? Civil discourse, civil engagement rather than this individualistic meltdown that our society is currently experiencing. Maybe then we can show that the world that you don't need a strongman to run a country.
Short answer.. fuck this world, fuck its leaders and its uninformed self-centered public.
Have you been hiding under a rock? It's all about Crypto Kitties! It accounts for around 15% of all ethereum traffic (source: https://www.investopedia.com/n...)
Why is the tulip bubble even used as an analogy? It seems like an easy thing to critique since tulips die and aren't instantly transferable around the world. And they certainly couldn't be traded live simultaneously with thousands of people from around the world on any one of a number of easy to access exchanges.
Are people just shallow thinkers? Surely there are much better arguments against crypto than this one? Do rational comparisons not fit the maximum meme word length for social media or something?
Have you taken the time to consider how many libraries are used in the average project? Most of those are open source projects, continually updating and relying on other libraries from other projects. Like coding inception.. a bug or change inside of a library, inside of a library, inside of a library inside of a program that messes everything up. Vigorous testing is the only hope.
Edge's problem is that it's not open source, it's developer tools look like they were written by high schools students, its security is the worst of major browsers, its support for web standards (particularly MediaSource and things like that) is still no where near that of chrome and firefox.
I love linux, but when my friends try it out they have no idea what to do when a driver doesn't work properly, so they go back to using Windows. While it works most of the time, the times it doesn't makes it difficult for the non-technical person. Maybe that will change in the future, maybe it never will.
I don't think it's been such a big thing here. However, subtle things like one of our biggest ISPs throttling Netflix (maybe because they half only cable tv network here), is probably also an example of what can happen. http://www.news.com.au/technol...
Same here. I recently replaced OS X on my Macbook 12 (retina) with Linux. Might be more of a pain to get working, but at least I'm not hooked into the Apple "ecosystem" that requires me to login with a valid credit card to download OS updates. It's great to be able to run docker at full speed.
Firstly, let's clear things up.. I consider crypto currency a highly speculative and highly risky thing to invest in. However, I think a lot of people don't fairly it. I was a sceptic at first and still remain one, but I think it needs to be described more accurately.
Statement: Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme.
Fact: No it's not. It is open and it's not fraudulent. A ponzi scheme by definition is fraud.
Statement: Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
Retort: Bitcoin is a brand name. Brand names can have intrinsic value through brand recognition. High liquidity is also another intrinsic value, and so is anonymity (particularly with coins like Monero). It also has intrinsic value to the unbanked. People are willing to pay for things like that.. but how much is the risky speculation part.
Statement: Bitcoin will never replace cash because it's too slow and can't scale to tens of thousands of transactions a second like the Visa network can. It also has high fees and takes a long time to confirm.
Fact: Very true. This is where the speculating about technologies like Lightning Network (no fees, instant transaction) can have a big influence over the price of a coin, the possibility that the surge in the value of litecoin was tied its LN integration is one example.
Statement: Bitcoin will never replace cash or card because there's no reason to change, particularly given its price instability. I don't think grandma will ever pay by bitcoin.
Fact: That's why it has been seen in a similar light to trading precious metals. For it to have worldwide adoption, it will require a stable price, the banks or a major currency to collapse, most people to become IT literate and many people to be using it for day to day transactions. In other words.. that's probably a very, very long time away.

Yep, good choice.

Well the title of the article is misleading "Ice cliffs spotted on Mars". It says later on that it "appears to be" ice cliffs. Typical.

What version of DOS would you like to run on it?

You are a product for targeted advertising, thought manipulation and surveillance. Why would corporations or governments want anything else?

Also like how nginx is one of the world's biggest HTTP servers and is Russian? Have we been completely pwn3d?
npm deploy tinfoil-hat --save-dev There's no Russian code on github, is there?

Exactly. How are you meant to test for everything? Continuous delivery or continuous failure?

Nothing gets a nerd riled up like his love or hatred for cryptocurrency.
