I'm running the site over AWS EC2, so apparently nobody could connect to me via IPv6 at the moment anyways.

Is it by "eating paint chips" as the old joke goes? Or does the paint eventually flake microscopically and end up in food and on eating surfaces or something?
That may be. However, simply forcing them to hand over the key wouldn't imho.
I think that Ladar Levison would disagree with that comment. According to wikipedia "US government ordered [Ladar] to turn over its Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) private keys" [0] which imho would be no different that forcing apple to turn over a software-signing key.
How can anyone be sure of that when the issuance and nature of every single NSL remains secret to this day?
I don't understand how all of a sudden the government is publicly and calmly asking permission to do something digitally when they have been so forceful and demanding in the recent past.
All I can see if a hand for a cursor, and my right click button is disabled to even check on the source.
I am so paranoid now about removing USB drives after I accidentally removed one while it was still writing to the drive (which I had no idea because there was no LED on the drive) and it bricked the entire device.
I generally wait until my computer has shutdown completely now before removing any important drives, just to be sure.
Satoshi Nakamoto created the world's most powerful cryptocurrency and nobody knows anything about that person or group, remember.
>Etheropt has no owner. Its entire operation is described and executed by an Ethereum smart contract.
How times have changed.

I live in an apartment, too.
I could complain about the fact that my neighbors smoke tobacco in their apartments and that it slowly but surely seeps into mine. But I don't. I put weather stripping on my door that faces the hallway and have my windows opened slightly whenever it's warm enough to allow for it.
You have to make compromises when you live in a building shared by 400 other people.
You're part of a community. Learn to live in it.
>Today the little city has many thriving businesses, including car dealerships, two Home Depots, shopping centers and a game room.
Two Home Depots for 1,500 residents? People don't generally build the coffin at the burial.
Something tells me there is a lot more supporting that town than just their cemeteries.
I thought that google deemed providing search results which were behind paywalls as a "bad experience" for their search users, and would penalize websites for doing so.
Is this no longer the case?
I took a few cabs around shanghai in 2008 and was floored at how cheap their prices were.
If Didi Kuaidi is undercutting taxi prices, and Uber is trying to undercut them... ridesharing must be almost free in major chinese cities at this point I'm assuming?
For example, check out this graph between ffmpeg and libav in terms of Google searches. [0]
The entire world can be wrong, but it's rare.

Even though I had read all of the man pages and knew the commands inside and out, it still seemed incredibly risky and scary to me to run rsync with the --delete function when I was backing up my main USB drive for the very first time.
Basically my biggest fear was that I had source and destination mixed up, which I didn't, but it would have been nice to run a test trial of that command before doing so.
My customers are entering the verification phones through a computer keyboard, they are only receiving the SMS verification messages to their mobile phone once so I can verify that they own a phone.
Unless you were assuming that their "browser" they would be entering the verification code into is on their feature phone?

The original zerocash team approached the bitcoin developers over a year ago asking to integrate some of their ideas into the bitcoin blockchain and were turned down entirely. So they went underground and developed zcash.
Zcash still seems to share quite a bit in common with bitcoin, however. For example, they are sticking with the 21,000,000 coin market cap.
That line really highlighted the fallacy that "mass surveillance is effective" for me.
They were actively spying on her concurrently while she was "the subject of a grand jury investigation" and still were unable to deduce that she was actively conspiring with Edward Snowden which would ultimately decimate their reputation worldwide.
They weren't born that way.
They grew up as wide-eyed children in the same world we all did. They loved to sing songs and share things at one time, too.
Their only fault is that they were perhaps more efficient or "luckier" than the rest of us in acquiring their wealth. Which in turn forced the rich person persona onto them. It's pretty much downhill from there on out. Save for a few astonishing outliers like Bill Gates, thankfully.
Money is the new God.
It cures our blind and heals our lepers. It puts food on our tables for which we give thanks. If even withers our fig trees.
It performs real miracles every day in a way that a book never could.
In short, I'm not surprised that those who have acquired massive amounts of money are now suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Is it possible to restrict the power that money has while still retaining most of it's core values? I don't know... But I'd bet money on it that we're going to find out pretty soon.
