ethereum is undervalued @ over $200 a token because...what?

this is tulip mania. at least when a stock price shoots up over news, that company is (generally) backed by revenue. a sales channel. assets. something. anything.

a cryptographic signature is only worth something if a group of people all agree it is worth something.

before someone makes the fiat argument -- the USD is worth something because there are a lot of bullets and bombs behind it.

why did I pay 18EUR to ship something from Berlin to Budapest? (1.3Kg)

so no, it's not Nil.

I humbly suggest reading the book "Debt: The First 5000 Years"

patents are basically a form of currency now. sad.

edit: or rather, patents are the money, licensing is the currency.

it is vastly different and more difficult because of the way border agents are performing their job, not because of any change in law.

Telia ate it, not CF.

Telia eats it quite regularly, but not often at this magnitude.

uhh, monitoring those things? you can monitor your internet provider a number of ways. something like smokeping allows for an exceedingly simplistic test: ping stuff on the internet.

logs will tell you if a client server or individual service has died. that are literally hundreds of solutions for these.

Akamai has had and continues to have more capacity than Cloudflare.

it was slightly more useful in 2010 and before.

there are sites precisely as you describe, all over the place. have you heard of "video lockers"?

it is mentioned in other circles where this is widely and passionately discussed. and the "conspiracy theory" burns on as it is suspected China is buying the worlds gold at an "alarming" rate...with the theory being a gold backed currency is in the works.

until the world stops needing oil to function, no one is going to care much.

more likely loaned, derived, and "synthesized" in the form of "paper gold"

yes. I spent too much time on goldbug blogs too. then I was reminded that cultures have used all kinds of objects as currency, and as stores of value. gold just happens to be the most historically relevant and widely understood, culturally.

roads require maintenance and are only valuable between two points people wish to traverse. gold doesn't deteriorate, is trivially divisible, and can be moved when you want to -- stays put when you don't. gold has been a store of value for millennia, so I personally find it ignorant to ignore the historical significance. hopefully we can rope an asteroid with a few billion tons of gold (and other precious metals) and make them all less precious indeed.

if you're into reading about gold, you can do a lot worse than reading the archives of http://fofoa.blogspot.com/

you have to transfer to another currency. you cannot do transfers within the same currency (USD to USD or EUR to EUR) with TransferWise.

they are excellent for foreign exchange, however.

I just use TransferWise, but that doesn't help for transfers of the same currency :\

there is still an upper limit to the number of TCP connections an IP can open.

sadly this does remind me of that photo of a Darth Vader with a Brita water filter in a large body of water.

you're not really going to have an impact, but you are doing something

is it hiring when they are the largest equity stakeholder as well as own and lease the planes back to the company?

how, exactly, do you propose this "independent" company supposed to address these "failures"?

hasn't enough been written, using historical numbers and factual mathematics, that plainly shows this idea of "trickle down economics" is depressingly incorrect?

is Southwestern Air really independent when the largest shareholder is DHL, and DHL owns and leases the planes to Southwestern?

Even if you can claim the board or management of Southwestern is "independent" what, exactly, can they do? all their inputs are literally owned by DHL.

how do the devices connect to the Cloudflare network? IPsec/GRE? TLS VPN? other?

yes, hello, I work in the optical field. you cannot buy something that does 100G with one wavelength at 25 or even 50GHz spacing.

so yes, it is aspirational.

I look forward to rebuttals with sales contacts!

I was going to ask about the telegraph part of the name...hah. very interesting!

is TSI a CLEC?

you mean like electrical, fire, and general safety regulations? going off your "mill town" example, would you rather copy Bangladesh where the buildings collapse and children as young as 11 work 70 hours weeks in the textile industry?

that's easy -- de-privatize the last mile access networks. run (copious strand count) fiber to everything, lease at standard pricing for every entrant, with operations & maintenance (and plant depreciation) built in.

done.

that's aspirational, as no such technology is commercially available today.

logistically that's unworkable for a number of reasons (bitcoin fees make micro payments...less useful; PAM is...not ideal; etc.) but a fine thought nonetheless.

I'm going to guess you meant OpenSSL, in which case yes, there is a Foundation for that. Perhaps (not so) surprisingly, it's the same one that supports OpenSSH development. You'll find LibreSSL mentioned right on the front page!

ah, an OpenBSD submission on the front page! time to remind everyone that uses OpenSSH to donate to the OpenBSD Foundation.

Hey everybody who uses OpenSSH (I cannot fathom a single person reading this who does not regularly use OpenSSH), donate to the OpenBSD Foundation: http://www.openbsdfoundation.org/

Yes, it's Canadian. No, you can't write it off your taxes. Why? Because there aren't enough donations to make the accounting and legal costs to do so viable. Want your donations to be tax deductible? Get (more of) your OpenSSH using friends (and companies!) to donate (more) and it just might happen!
