First time I heard about this site. Maybe we can use this for preliminary research requiring small funds. I'll study this.

Thank you. Yes, idefine collaborates with All Stripes. Hopefully soon we will pass 100 registered participants there. Very important work. https://www.allstripes.com/program/kleefstra

Thank you. I wasn't aware of a nonprofit sub on reddit. So many members. Definitely will post there.

I hope one-day things would turn around. If the regulators asked pharmaceutical companies to study for these drugs on the side so much could change. Probably less than 1% of their R&D budget would be enough to move things.

Thank you! Matt is a huge inspiration to all rare disease parents. I will read the NIH SBIR grant.

You cannot justify actions using other wrong actions.

Very sad day for democracy.

Say everyone in an unstable economy were paid in usd. If that country has foreign deficit, if that country has high government debt. What happens? How can the government keep paying its own employees? How does it pay retiree checks? How does it subsidize farming when needed? As long as a country cannot print usd itself, this is a fast shortcut to unemployment, hunger, etc...

Strong currencies are not the solution to poor governance. Good governance and democracy makes a country and its currency strong. Not vice versa.

Even if BTC were available to all countries, it wouldn't have stopped local currency value losses. And ironically hoarding stronger currencies makes local currencies lose value even faster.

I think this method seems to get more popular by day. IMHO, previously master was the branch you merge before the deploy process. But today this is reversed.

The main benefit is, other developers can rely on the master branch even more. They will know there will not be a revert on the master branch they just pulled one hour ago and already started coding on.

A good example to this is the founding of the US itself.

We should understand Facabook was the best platform to advertise mobile game apps and etc, for almost 10 years. Apple took 30% of all that revenue without any objection.

Now Apple has its own ad infrastructure, and this is a perfect strategic move by Apple.

If the benefit we are looking for is better up time, that will not happen. The main benefit is going to be knowing why the system is down, and the eta to being up again.

If that option was there in the very first place a significant portion of the marketing spend wouldn't have happened throughout the years.

Now that the market is well established cutting Facebook off is a good strategy for Apple as this will probably move a significant chunk of marketing budget their way.

Now Facebook's fate is collateral damage.

If a company owns the regulation of a widely used currency, how will it be devalued if it becomes necessary.

Popular currencies need to be regulated by the people, even if indirectly. Otherwise in times of crisis these currencies will be harmful to most.

This was a nice ie feature 20 years ago.

This also depends on the country. For instance in Poland android has 99% market share. So 1/3 Poland residents will experience issues.

Site24x7's ssl monitor caught this for us yesterday. And i thought they were wrong as we purchased this last certificate just a few months back.

The way i understand it, it is not crash safe. It can now persist data in some cases.

However redis is crash safe to about 1 second before crash or so, if not even better.

If it were to affect US economy adversely I think FED could chip in and have a say in Libra's direction. But other economies could be hurt by Libra's position.

Personally I don't mind the monetary independence of countries. But real people could lose real jobs since their governments don't get a say in Libra's governance.

Fixed currencies would only hurt emerging economies. When the economy goes into crisis who will change the interest rates on those currencies and help the economy recover? No one.

I think they should raise it to 30%. Any given country provides a much better platform to these companies compared to what google play provides to app publishers.

World needs more people like Jack Poulson. We all need to stand up against governments which treat their citizens like the Chinese govenment does.

I don't think facebook really deletes any data. You deleting a comment or a picture pretty much means: isvisible=false;

By saying "cookies and pixels" they are trying to downplay what they are really doing. On a website where facebook pixel is installed, they track pretty much every form submitted and even the contents of those form submissions.

Recently facebook pixel started collecting information on pretty much everything a user does on the website naming them "microdata". Those users have no clue they are being tracked in that manner.

There was a tv show called APB about this app/911 idea. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5542294/

This gives them a great chance to focus and improve product.

In Turkish it is called "tc kimlik numarasi", that would translate to "Turkish Republic ID Number"

Hardly so for Turkey. Important positions in Turkish bureaucracy are being filled by people who have close ties to the ruling party. I guess this is somewhat normal in many countries given that you have some appropriate filters, unfortunately such filters are diminishing every year. Just last week the prime minister announced they would hire 750k long term government employees bypassing the regular procedures and by creating adhoc exams for each position. Regularly Turkey has this nationwide exam called KPSS which you would have to pass to be a government employee, bypassing this exam will even further reduce the government quality. I don't see how people without the necessary qualifications can improve these systems.
