eiliant··on Why Chinatown Produce Is Cheap (2016)
Have you ever been to Shanghai? Or any major chinese city? This is such an uninformed comment - you can find fresh salads in the 100s of Wagas around town, in supermarkets, etcetc.

And I don't know what you call chinese food culture, maybe the traditional one 100s of years ago, but nowadays raw beef in hotpot restaurants as appetizers is very popular and sushi/sashimi even moreso, even if you go down to t2 cities. This is chinese food culture right? What chinese people like to eat nowadays in 2017, not like 1850 food culture

eiliant··on Sam Altman at the Family, Paris [video]
Don't agree at all, I find the same attitude in many major cities in the world ex. Sao Paulo, Shanghai, NYC, Tokyo and others - it also strongly depends on who you talk to.

I agree but no need to drag Roger Ver into this, afaik he was in the dark as much as most of the people who had bitcoins left in mtgox back then. Didn't he also lose some coins there?
eiliant··on Iceland, a land of Vikings, braces for a Pirate Party takeover
Iceland gets way too much press in the western hemisphere than it deserves, it has what, 300K population in the middle of nowhere with no particularly interesting acheivements?

Pirate party, ok, cool. Let me know when it's the U.K or U.S or even say Spain or something. Hell, would be better even if it's a province/city in China.

eiliant··on BitUndo – Double Spending as a service
Won't that be a big problem for everyday transactions though, to have to wait 10 mins for a confirmation instead of immediately like swiping a credit card when say you go out to eat or go grocery shopping?

Won't that then hurt the usefulness of bitcoin and adoption rate?

eiliant··on CSS Diner
Thanks! Great design and interactivity. I would suggest adding a glossary page somewhere and some follow up at the end instead of just CSS God, maybe suggested readings?

I kept getting hit by the horizontal red even though I didn't go down the ledge.
