Data encoded in base1024 (here using the 1024 safe chars represented by emojis) gives much more efficient storage usage.
16 kB raw data encoded in base64
ceil(16*1024/3)*4 = 21848 bytes long ~= 21.8kB.
16 kB raw data encoded in base1024 ceil(16*1024/9)*10 = 18210 bytes long ~= 18.21kB.
So base64 needs about 19.7% more data storage than base1024 and both can be used anywhere utf8 is supported.Let the baseEmoji revolution begin...
If in doubt go get some inputs on the same story from "We are change", the corbett report and zerohedge. There is always more to the story than CNN lets you know.
So is it relevant? Well - I guess it depends on what you mean with relevant.
This extension will filter stories from domains that - per november 2015 - had more than than 2500 submitted stories but less than 40% had more than 3 votes. Domains with usergenerated content (as github.com or youtube.com) are not included.
Is this censoring?
- No, this is a way of limiting domains with a high amount of noise. @media (prefers-color-scheme:dark) {
html{
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(.5turn);
}
}
Its works so well because it keeps the balance of contrast between elements.The way the API has been designed to make the usage natural/guessable has inspired me a lot when I have made other CLI projects.
What we need is Jira and Trello to have a baby
This liberates me from having to focus on who initiated the project - because it is meant to be frozen whoever initiated it can not change the setup at will.
To me it's not important who made visa or who runs it. I use it anyway because it got utility letting me pay at the bakery on a tiny island on the other side of the world.
I don't care about who made the HTTP protocol. I use it every day without knowing.
Utility is the real value of a technology.
- Abandoning instant payment by introducing replace-by-fee where you can "undo" a transaction not in a block yet.
- The limitation of what can be done with the scripting language by disabling OP codes needed for (even basic) math operations.
- Forcing transactions to be formatted after specific templates limiting how transactions are used.
Bonus story: As I understand it, Vitalik tried to build on bitcoin but the limitations in the script languarge and transaction format made a globally distributed computer impossible so he went off and created Etherium.
