I want to be mad but I'm impressed by how clever they were. Completely low-tech solution.

Are there leaderboards or profiles?

It's ironic there is a popup advertising contests and giveaways upon page load.

Also consider that most big players in the game have very little incentive to reduce screen-time in a meaningful way. The more time spent on devices consuming media the more they sell from their App store.

15 years ago it was called "VCR parenting" now we call it "tablet parenting" - People live hard and complex lives, so I'm not going to make judgment on a single parent trying to provide for their kids being unable to be a full-time entertainer as well. The good news is technology and apps are making it easier for parents to be better with less effort (which may sound harsh but is how life gets better overall)

Full disclosure: I work for a company called DnsLearning (although we are rebranding to StudyCity)

Our system is simple, you point your child's device at a DNS server then add various accounts to supported educational sites like Khan Academy, Duolingo, Prodigy Math, etc. Our server detects when your child earns points on these platforms and disables access to non-educational (junk) sites until they earn X points to unlock Y time. Most of our user-base has noticed their kids now fully understand the value of their time instead of being stuck in a zombie-like YouTube spell of watching 5 hours of minecraft videos recommended next.

Bitcoin has had scripting since that first release TX signatures themselves are OP_SIGHASH

Even if the add-on is "enabled," it's doesn't initialize itself unless a specific about:config value is also manually flipped

Attack surface 101 / reason nobody else does this

That’s a very dangerous type of justification there, not one I expected someone at Mozilla to get that wrong.

Why did they include it now?

Coinbase doesn't support Tether so it should be okay.

Uniforms, food, beds, etc. all of very poor quality being sold at high margin. Policing for profit essentially.

I said “cool”

A lot going on here if I said anything I would get torn to shreds, so I'll just smile and nod and say "cool"

My point is that on a network with onion routing you have nothing to block. You are mixing the two networks that's a separate issue.

Not going to try and convince you of Bitcoin or crypto as a whole but calling USDT an example of smart contracts is pretty absurd.

That was a fast hard fork... oh wait

My comment is describing how an Internet that works more like Tor and uses onion-routing is immune to censorship because you cannot identify the link address - aka no IP address to identify.

You cannot "just slow all Tor connections" when everything is a Tor connection is my point.

Properly configured Tor connections look like regular HTTPS connections on port 443 otherwise most who need it couldn't use it without getting thrown into "re-education camps"

Also I'm not talking about using Tor to connect to "regular HTTPS" sites like Amazon or Netflix where they see you as some special citizen of the Internet (one they don't like) I'm talking about things like Hidden Services where there is no external gap between networks being exploited.

Tor websites (hidden services) cannot ban you because they cannot identify you via your link connection (this was the point of my original comment)

Just because the current Internet was built with IP addresses etc. for the 1970's doesn't mean it has to stay that way and Tor has proven you can at least solve the NN problem with onion routing.

Thanks for reminding me I had forgotten about that

Anything but proper diet and exercise. Inject it all directly into your bloodstream =)

Seems strange for this to be part of the Ask HN section.

Use cryptography to solve problems not legislation. Net Neutrality means nothing on Tor because nobody can be identified via their link connection.

Does this count parts of the market that will be gone soon? Legitimate question didn't Starcom recently say they won't issue new certs and will shut everything off in 2020?

My bad you're forced to use heroine then I guess

The main point of my post was that them being shitty "because of heroine" is a false premise.

This was at 6AM - Taco Bell near it doesn't open until 7AM silly!

The local Walgreens is now closed between the hours of 12AM - 6AM because the police won't respond to any theft calls during this time.

Use the chrome extension it automatically does it
