New York state set some rules for Bitcoin Exchanges that are being used by all the major bitcoin companies. Bitcoin exchanges, which allow people to store bitcoin on their servers, and/or can convert to USD, need all the same information on users that a bank does. They also have reporting to do. A few of the big ones have their own insurance.
Of course a user doesn't need to use an exchange. A user can easily use one of the many wallets that don't have a central company keeping everything for you. You can use bitcoin without any other company involved, no way for a high profile hacking, etc.
Totally wrong. The original blocks mined by satoshi are still sitting there untouched. It'd be major news if they were moved.
This exchange is not one of the big ones. It'd be like some online webstore being hacked and claiming ecommerce is done with. There are arbitration services for bitcoin if both parties want to pay the fee. If you use some of the large pre-made bitcoin shopping cart systems tied to exchanges they also have ways to handle bad business practices. Bitcoin companies have done a lot to make it a viable payment system.
Also when banks do fail and/or freeze accounts, like in Cyprus, or Greece, bitcoin works fine.
If you want unlimited storage that autosyncs from an android device the photo resolution is limited. If you want photos to count against the 10 gig your google account gives then the photos won't have a size resolution, just a storage limit. A recent change
A local electric co-op is laying fiber to the home of every customer over a 5 year buildout, gig speed available. Rural farmland with great speeds. And a mile away from my house where I get 3 meg on a good day. With trees between me and the closest connection. Ug!
If they're acting as an ISP they're on the hook for a lot of problems. I doubt cheap routers will allow the realtime access and backdoors required by various laws.
there are a few other sites that let you bet on predictions. Nothing as popular as intrade ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) was
I predict bitcoin will continue to slowly tick upwards until the next block halving (~ 200 days) when the value will take a bigger than usual jump, end the year around 1000
Meanwhile the hatred of all things bitcoin will also continue on/.
if the sex app is like fight club, users will have to hang around bar parking lots, sexing themselves alone while imagining something intense, with random people watching, until eventually someone asks to join.
it would be just politics if she hadn't complained as a candidate that Bush was hiding things by using private email.
Clinton 2007 : You know our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, about the secret military tribunals, we know about the secret White House email accounts.
Then she does the same thing. That's not partisan politics, that's being a hypocrite.
As for the RDP it could very well have been a redirect to another machine at the house and not the actual email server. It's on the same network but it may not have been the email server itself, unless the router config or network setup has been published.
The Dems complained about Bush bypassing the intent to keep things on record. The Democrats made a big deal about using government computers in the name of transparency. Rules were made for the State Department to use sanctioned computers. People were fired during Clinton's term as head of the State Department for not following this policy. The new rules and being a hypocrite in not following them herself is the issue.
I have 3 Meg DSL when the weather is good. An electric co-op for a rural area is putting fiber in to get 1 gig to the home over a 5 year rollout. It unfortunately will stop about 1/2 mile from my current location. If I move to the middle of some farmland I'll have far better Internet - that's just weird.
I know I saw that as some minor plot device somewhere, tv show or movie but I forget. Someone 'raised' virtual kids so selling a new identity would have a real trackable past history.
use a nanocard and it'll convert your bitcoin holdings to a mastercard credit at the point of sale. Then you can shop anywhere BTC is directly taken and any place that takes a mastercard.
If you're considering GPU look through any bitcoin mining forum. Setting up a reliable GPU farm is a nice tech challenge if you really want to grow your own. A few years ago I ran out of power at 50 GPUs, they're hogs. Heat is a whole other problem as the previous posted made note of. For a business use you may want to just use AWS or GPU appliances.
The son's stuff was a pure and simple cash grab. It's like the Star Wars prequels but far worse, changing the entire tone and actually reason behind the original novels. I suffered through them as supposedly there were notes left behind by Frank Herbert outlining the last book. The conclusion of Dune the son wrote tied up things by including people and events from the various prequel trilogies he wrote and it wasn't satisfying or even believable in context of the original novels. I can only think the supposed finding of notes about the conclusion of Dune was an outright marketing ploy.
I'd love to see the supposed notes from Frank that were found. Perhaps a clue of who Daniel and Marty were. Not the horrid explanation that Brian and Kevin gave for them.
Any of those slightly older (~2000? ) body positioning arcade games where you had to physically squat to reload got exhausting. At the time I thought a gym formed around those games would be worth joining just to save on quarters.
Any of the trades can pay well although in larger cities plumbers, along with all trades, are tripping over the competition driving the price down. I will also say it can be a very physical job, you won't find many plumbers without back problems.
I agree - all the tax money put those lines in and the baby bells are a government mandated monopoly. A level playing field would be amazing. When the FCC rolled back many of the '96 telco reform act the small ISP could no longer compete. Wholesale rates were higher than the telco was offering retail rates to the end user.
For a good first step how about the telco's having to live up to their $400 billion in broken contracts. One agreement had every house in NJ to be on fiber by mid 2000s. http://newnetworks.com/bookofb...
I've seen many of those 'stupid laws still on the books'. (I see http://www.dumblaws.com/ exists, amusing. "A woman isn’t allowed to cut her own hair without her husband’s permission.") Why do those even still exist?
It seems like all laws need some time limit, if no one has been successfully tried for something illegal for X number of years the law becomes void.
I'm not sure about your #3 of Loser pays. That may stop someone bringing a case against a GM or other mega corp if they spend millions on lawyers. I see the intent but it could really shaft the little guy.
Is there any website that actually shows the law including all revisions? Instead of the various further laws that are worded like "change part 2, subsection A, paragraph 3 from 'shall' to 'will'" it'd be nice if any changes showed the actual entire new wording
An interesting tech improvement would be every individual wearing a body camera like the cops, so you don't get these missing moments or can show unedited truth. I hope those bad apples got fired for bringing false charges. In the ideal world they should be charged.

If I remember, Jurassic Park get the funding by plopping a mini elephant on a table to show the investors what DNA could be made to do.

Within 40 years the singularity should hit. If humanity survives I really hope we'll have moved past the hassles of medical insurance.

Have any links about anyone who has successfully done this in any sort of volume? Nice theory until it's shown to actually work.
