Trump coin will posses intrinsic value regardless of the face value precisely because it had the face of Donald trump on it. It will be a really great currency made from the best bits hand selected by trump himself. There will be no cheap imported bits in Trumpcoin. And Trumpcoin will only work when you are sending money into the USA. Even if the USA goes down the toilet the trump brand will make these increase in value. Available only at the SHarper Image.
We lived for centuries writing checks and they don't clear instantly either. Why is it essential that Bitcoin clear instantly? THe desgin of bitcoin anticipated this. Initially the profit for adding transactions to the block chain with bitcoin mining. But it was always expected that as the return on mining slowed that it would become fee based. The problem is the fees offered are not reaching the required levels for more miners to enter.
The first person to invent the incadescent electric light gets a patent on electric lights. THe second person may come up with the fluorescent bulb as an implementation but the basic idea of the electric light was already thought of. THe prodigy patents showed the way. It doesn't really matter if someone came up with another implementation if the way itself can be patented.
Following up my own comment in the late 80s and early 90s most people were not thinking or doing dynamic apps over a network. The real hotbed of that sort of thing was Sun. (and Java was a natural extension of that). But Sun's bussiness was mainly about local networks, not retail web-like services to consumers and bussinesses like prodigy. THings like time-share were very old school but those were the standard remote access model. These patents actualy describe the modern webpage which is served, client side applications (javascript).
It isn't really that crazy to believe that IBM pioneered techniques for internet activity. It was not at all obvious back in the days of prodigy when people used things like Gopher and Archie more than WWW protocols. The were investing in the technology and they patented it.
About the only thing one might complain about here is not the patents but the fact they submarined this. Surfacing decades later and then suing ordinary users just is lousy. But as long as the patents are legit, it may not be unreasonable.
Not all patents are bad. Certainly patents in cases where huge technology changes are being established.
Yes one could accept that competing mafia's might be benevolent. But why should they? someone with 51% of the compute can dictate if you can trade bitcoin. That is, if you were to transact something with your keycode, they could prevent it from entering the block chain, thus nullifying your transaction. They can hold the entire system hostage or blackmail individuals.
So the underlying problem is there is phenomenological evidence that indicates that for long stretches of time, some cartel can controls 51% of the block chain compute and is withholding submits so it can privately mine them before distributing them.
If I understand bitcoin correctly, both of those are its fundamental achilles heel, assumed never to happen, and therefore the currency is now subject to manipulation, and thus eventually worthless.
Your explanation is self refferential. How does one find zeronet without an gateway URL? And if there is one then it can be shut down. Sure I beleive one could host a torrent list as a torrent. but if you can't figure out how to join that torrent community then it's a closed set.
I don't understand this claim. Now once a torrent is streaming there is no single point of failure by virtue of the P2P aspect. But for people to find a torrent node with their desired item there needs to be some sort of directory. Historically it has been the directories that get shutdown. So how does this solve that problem? You can't just say the nodes serve the directory can you? because it some point someone needs a definitive entry point or well known fixed set of points, so it can be found to bootstrap the process. If they are well known then can't they be shut down?
And we all know that NASA spurred the integrated circuit development (or was that DARPA), so the computer that is hacking other computers with "rover" is also a result of NASA's diabolical creations. It all seems like it was planned that way.
You don't need dual Ethernet for garage doors. Will your better board take less than 20 minutes extra time to program for than the raspi? Or even read watch pre purchase? Unless your time has no value the cost is not an issue. But if in 2 years there's no support for the drivers or other software you use your better board isn't. Yet you'll almost certainly be able to port anything from your raspi 3 to the new raspi 5.
But still the same ethernet that goes over the USB bus?
You complain about this like it's a show stopping defect. For the few people who care about this, then there's alternatives to rasp PI. But for the vast majority of people, empirically, this is not a problem. Given the Raspi only has a gigbyte of memory or half that, where the heck are you going to put your data after 10 seconds at a gigabit?
Next you will complain your toaster having only 10Mb/set wifi is a major lifestyle issue.
So good luck with the whole solar cell idea. You can tinker with it to get some semiconductiong properties but youre working against it's intrinsic nature. Maybe it can be done, it's just more uphill than direct bandgap materials.
no there are a bunch of suckalicious unsupported "rasberry pi killers". Topping the list is the Orange Pi, which has great specs and non working software.
I'm with AT&T on this. Google is trying to pull an Uber, and claim it's not subject to telecom laws since it's not a telecom. It's leveraging all sorts of goodies--many great benefits to the local citizens and thus desireable perks-- to get the govt to look the other way. But really if AT&T has to follow the regulations and google is providing an analgous service, this is not really a level playing field.
AT&T may be slowing down progress here but they are also getting screwed too. SO take all the utiltiy taxes and regulations off AT&T and let them compete. But the cgovt can't do that. theynot only don't have all the jurisdictional powers to do that, they also need the money they raise from telecom fees and such.
It's a tricky situation in which granting favors to the golden child is not good policy even if its good for progress.
It would make sense if they were to kindly list the accounts they want to stay open. Otherwise how is Facebook supposed to know which is an Isis supporting page and which is a Ted Cruz supporting page.

okay for $39, find anything remotely close to this device. What I'd like to know is if I can program for it and use it's usb to control my arduino.
That's the real reason Christie Dropped out. Well, at least this seems nearly as plausible as the DA's claim.

No the vendor loses if there is a chargeback

Almost like a Check.

Or am I wrong?

Now if only the Orange Pi had software that used its four procesors and was stable
