Your 1M transactions/second blockchain solution is useless, if it relies on trust. The point is zero-trust consensus. http://www.coindesk.com/behind-scenes-launch-new-blockchain-consortium/

 

Best journalism taxes can buy: "whoever sits on their data or hides behind privacy laws is complicit [in terror]". https://www.tagesschau.de/kommentar/becker-117.html

 

Also, you have no right to people telling you to f*** off in a polite way, when you send them that as a first response.

 

"our trademark lawyers are going to be banging on your door and taking down your accounts" is hardly "trying to be reasonable" to OSS devs.

 

In comments on Brussels, Erdogan just blamed Kurds for the Ankara attacks, but Turkey had blamed ISIS until then. Read carefully these days!

 

Every time you make fun of potential AfD voters, you assure them that it's the right choice. Similar to the church accepting all sinners.

 

I wonder how many journalists the Turkish gov has to jail, how many civilians they have to murder, until it's called the "Erdogan regime".

 

WANT: leak site for hidden updates from crowdfunding campaigns where people run away with the money.

.@lanyrd is still in read-only mode, so basically dead. What to use next? Maybe sth more like until blockchain (d)apps are viable?

 

Can anyone point me to resources about how @ethereumproject stores data on its blockchain and how that's supposed to scale?

.@lanyrd has been in read-only mode for days. Death imminent?

 

Also, you would never go to a Starbucks here, because there's a Juan Valdez on every corner. http://www.juanvaldezcafe.com/es-co/

 

Fun fact: The Starbucks in Bogotá is their only place in the world using 100% locally sourced coffee. Colombians wouldn't buy anything else.
