The offline world would then be on par with the online world when it comes to targeted pricing.

Certainly, but at the end of the day, they'll say: "well if we don't get $x then we will have to cut the force. If we don't pay our officers, they are just going to leave."

I don't know if that works... I mean, even if it's millions of $ each year that PD have to settle/pay, why does it hurt them? Aren't they simply going to pass that cost back to the…

I always set a filter in my Swift google search so I only get recent content. It generally weeds out a lot of old Swift code/tutorials.

Just to clarify a bit: you only need to pay if you want to distribute your app on the iTunes Store.

...and what about all those services you used to "Log in with Google"...

Sorry, I don't have m3andros in any of my root certs...

I suspect the statement is meant this way: in order to build credit (to buy a house later for example), you need to get in debt: you need to get credit cards, loans, etc... and "climb the ladder&…

Did you read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15098152 from just a few days ago? Not that it should kill your plan, but perhaps it's another thing to take into consideration.…

The photos themselves aren't locked in: they end up somewhere on your filesystem (that mimics the structure you see in LR).
It's only the metadata and other photo edits that you would lose i…

I don't understand what you mean. You can get the Adobe Creative Suite with Photoshop, Lightroom, some other stuff I don't remember (don't use), for $10/month. Is that too much?

> Hi magnetic, nice to meet you! Out of curiosity, where would you say you developed your money management skills? Was it from your parents, from school, or just organically as you started taking o…

Maybe it's a calculated risk thinking that if you lose the bet you file for bankruptcy?

How do they manage to con so many buyers?

I wasn't talking about LI, I was talking about the photo scenario from the comment I was replying to.

I think they already do that with bitcode. You upload the LLVM bitcode and it will generate the code for the appropriate architecture as needed. It's standard when you upload your app to iTunes.

Sounds like an Intellectual Property violation to me. You don't have to hide your IP in order to protect it: there are laws that deal with this.

I've heard this argument before and was wondering how it can be considered ok: 1) hacker steals massive amount of money from a crypto wallet 2) hacker cashes out and gets real money 3) network re…

Thanks for the details.
Yes, I agree with what you are saying. There aren't many things you can do when you have the majority of the hash power, but isn't there at least a (few?) double spen…

Maybe I didn't ask correctly. I understand that the blocks contain transactions, not balances, but what I don't understand is why there would be a 2 week lag when I start my fork.
It seems…
comment
Thanks for the reply. Could you please elaborate on a couple of things I didn't quite understand?
First, why would I want to start from "2 weeks ago"? Why can't I simply start fr…

If I "control 50%+" of the hash power of the network can't I write my own transaction history from a given point for the world to gobble?
If that is so, can't I simply transfer a…

Why is that a problem? They've gotten a ton of Model 3 reservations before people even knew what it looked like. These are faith buyers.

I've had severe Tinnitus for over a year due to a degenerative disease damaging my hearing and causing hearing loss. It's been hell, and it still is. It's unlikely to get better with ti…

How does figure out the location? Somehow it thinks that the Champs-Elysées is in Brasilia, Brazil?
