Remote work?

I thought there was this world-wide campaign to free Mandela while he was in prison as well. Surely it couldn't be informed by what he would do in the future.

It's also possible to conjure up a scenario where any given preferred feature would be a marginal improvement over the state of things...

I think they either moved to off-chain transactions or will move shortly. I haven't heard much of Satosh Dice though, wonder if it's still as "important" as it once was.

They charge commission when the transaction involves dollars. Bitcoin-only transactions are free.

If everybody is doing it it's justifiable!

Probably nothing, unless they have features that are sufficiently more desirable to the market than what Bitcoin offers?

If by new you mean OpenBSD and Slackware itself since the 90s... I may still have a Walnut Creek CD-ROM version of Slackware (ELF binaries!) with a partial Sunsite/tsx-11 mirror around here.

I live in a country that used to need that. The real reason for doing that is simply not having to write so many useless zeroes. The people who were calling for cutting zeroes were mostly banks having…

Can we please try not to equate a diplomat's car being followed around a city's public areas with the indiscriminate collection of private communications from every man, woman and child on t…

Among different datacenters this is done most often in DNS in order to avoid the increased latency and singe-point-of-failure.

What I understood from the badly-written article is this: the big platform companies will start blocking third-party cookies (where applicable, say Chrome) and replacing it with their own centralized,…

I don't understand why people think Bitcoin necessarily leads to governments collapsing. Bitcoin can be regulated in many ways: 1. If you buy a house you must show evidence that you earned the mo…

Having a "plain" website can be an advantage depending on your audience. I can say I trust places such as http://prgmr.com/ and http://tarsnap.com/ more tha…

False dichotomy. Brazil has been giving "handouts" - desperately needed aid for the poor - and is doing fine. In fact those "handouts" are one of the main reasons why it has been d…

To be fair there was once a mess where e-mail was riddled with issues with charsets, bad MIME implementations, buggy QP-encoded headers and so on. Then there was the spam age. Then the no-client-actua…

That's very nice, congratulations. Isn't there a way to work around the risk of chargebacks? Requiring an "insurance" deposit and passing charges on to your customers, or holding p…

Well, I read the PDF and every statement of something based on "training and experience" seemed completely reasonable. What it means is "this is so obvious I shouldn't need to prov…

Not really because a single CR or LF does not do a real CR or LF.

The questions are very simple. Anyone who depends on a blog post to know the answers will fail a slightly different set of questions, not to mention the next interview.

Beyond what other people have mentioned, check out the Syberia games and The Longest Journey which are a bit older. Frogware put out a series of Sherlock Holmes-based adventures as well. And Gemini Ru…

From their wiki, Replicant is really bare-bones at the moment: forget 3D or having your camera work and it will probably need proprietary drivers for the foreseeable future. Also, very few models are …

Well, at the very least there's a TXT record for strings. Access control and consistency may both be issues though.
