I see so many negative comments about this, but in my opinion everything has to start somewhere. It doesn't matter how crazy and impossible it looks, it will be done eventually (and we have plenty of examples).

Maybe we will not teleport in 2 seconds across the globe or this project will die, who knows if we don't try.

A little bit of optimism doesn't hurt. Just saying.

And for Virgin, it's not my money, if they want to invest in a black hole sure they can.

Corporatism research seems legit. Just in time people start discussing the gun laws.

I laughed so hard. Sorry...

Not alone. When I read text on my PC I tend to select text with my mouse a lot. This drive mu nuts when i select something then click accidentally on share button.

You work for Ikea? The problem is that nobody is planting them back.

I agree with you, but... There is a HUGE problem with this statement.

90% of the devices that are bought require windows. Every single microscope, ID reader, card reader, access system, detection system, defence devices, advanced cameras, radars, etc. provide drivers and/or software, that I know, offer drivers/apps only for windows.

Even they make a plan to move from windows, it will take years, in this time, every acquisition will be made for windows. A common use for these devices/pc's is more than 5 years. Heck i've seen tools that are used even after 15 years because they worked and no money/desire to replace them.

Of course you can negotiate, or request support for other operating systems, but that means extra money, training, etc. Even in the current state it's hard to get good IT people, programmers, sysadmins, etc. It will be harder to get linux admins. Also it will take years to teach people to use another OS.

And to end: have you seen custom software made for governments? 50% just slap a program that requires x version of .net, some c++ redistributable and requires to run only as admin or only xp, 40% just slap a java abomination or applet and call it a day, 9% make a nice piece of software but just like everyone else after they deliver the software they forget about the support or patch 1-2 things and they are gone. ALL OF THIS is happening mainly because the state doesn't have trained people and they don't know what to ask from devs & because they don't give a shi*t about they money they spend.

People keep saying wp is bad. Ye it is from your point of view. But there are maybe billions who have no clue how internet works but they want a site/blog/shop whatever. Many of them don't even think about paying someone to make a website, or pay for tools.

So they pick wordpress: 1 click install in cpanel, no html, css, js, php knowledge whatsoever, pick a free theme from millions of themes, pick plugins from millions free ones, done. Maybe a bit of google to personalize it but that's it.

What do you offer devs who can make a quick 50 bucks in afternoon installing a plugin/theme, or even 100 for a quick website with admin panel and all that easy stuff?

There is a market for everyone and cms's will live one way or another. The simple & free stuff will always be more successful.

At the end of the day, that CEO has to make bigger profits to justify the technology investment.

a tech industry veteran - Internet-scanning(his hobby) - cheap camera - no firewall - wannabe famous -> make your pick. 100% he infected it himself.

It is on Travel Channel almost every day as a short story.

I still don't get it why they did this. So some of the obvious problems: passwords are saved so I can use the wifi anytime, I can tell the password to others, even if they keep track of users with 30 concurrent customers it doesn't matter if they ask for names.

IMO this is wrong at so many levels.

Nice storytelling. (couldn't stop it)

Not working on chrome & win 10

Did the test with edge and it doesn't work. I'm on stable build. Also it needs edge/ie to be able to do the test...

Fair enough. But you use your own address and name to deliver stuff from the internet. Where is the anonymity in that? Or i am missing something?

Also... you get your cash from CC and transfer it to BTC, you pay someone else, you encourage money laundering because that seller doesn't have to pay any tax for that.

For me the most important factor is where the cash is going. IF we all switch to bitcoin and government can't keep track of the money, big criminals, bit corps will never pay any taxes, and how we are going to have free schools, free medical care, police, etc? Am I over thinking this?

Privacy is important but either we have to find a way to change the economy as it is, or regulate BTC properly.

Just because someone has a fetish and wants to keep it "anonymous" is not enough for me.

I am still trying to find legitimate reason why someone will want anonymous pay. Bitcoin is almost always associated with underground markets, ransomware, money laundering, etc.

Can someone tell me a legitimate reason why I need anonymous cryptocurrency? Or what is used for?

In order to win the lottery you have to buy a ticket. Not everybody wins, but that man can make a difference (or not ) in this world. We all have a shot at the BIG prize.

What is Vexillology dr. Cooper?

$1500 for a desk globe? not too shabby.

I wonder how much it will cost to make a 3d printed one.

And while searching i found this: https://scandy.co/welcome. They are too small...

I watched some YT videos and seems ok for me. US server from Romania.

This is relative. What is garbage for us, is a goldmine for AI. We, people, think 1+1=2, we take it for granted, like everything else in this world. For AI, it's a different game, at a different level. IMO, let him tweet, apologize, but let it do it's thing and let's watch how it is developing. Also, so many butthurts over what he tweeted. This world IS garbage.

I have mine for 2+ years, no burn-in. I guess it's about how is everyone is using and the panel used.

Happy new year!

This titles man are worst than FB. Why not just "Click here!"?. Or could just copy and paste the title: "A suggestion to Open Source project maintainers"

Upgraded all windows machines to Windows 10. I'm so happy now. Much better. People that say "i moved to linux", we all did this at a point in time But like all Apple users, "I don't have time to troubleshoot, I need to get things done". Windows 10 did this for me till now. Everything works out of the box, no problem.

People keep forgetting "there is an app' for everything" on widows.

"Reliable" is a relative term for WA. Everybody I know has a random delay in messages, the browser "thing" is mostly not usable, no desktop app, etc. You can not use WA for productivity.

Also no burgundy, blonde and many more.

I did 4 years in high school.

"and safety" nope

There are thousands of examples of iPhone chargers & cables melting down.
