Basically, the Chinese miners don't want to increase the blocksize because they are very bandwidth-limited.

Larger blocks mean longer propagation time, during which time another pool with more bandwidth could hash and propagate their own block, causing the Chinese block to be orphaned.

Is there going to be an area onsite for the hackathon?

Bit flips aren't solely caused by radiation- it could also be caused by clock skew or a failing crystal oscillator on an overheating router or something...

In my experience, HP and Lenovo are usually the only ones enforcing whitelists.

I hope they get rid of the stupid code-signing requirement that's currently in RT which prevents all third-party apps from running in RT desktop mode! I'd love to be able run Chrome on a Windows ARM device...

Where are you located?

BTW, Recology will not pick up trash that's not in the bin because the trash collection service is billed by volume. They'll usually ask the subscriber to upgrade to a larger bin.

[That's what happens when a private company is granted a monopoly to perform a necessary public service.](http://www.trashrecology.com/stop-the-sf-monopoly.html)

I think it would probably take forever for the initial lookup, because the probability of matching any 3 byte sequence is higher than matching a 200 bytes sequence?

If anyone is wondering, this is Rails for OSX (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1397300529/railsapp)

Zero-confirm transactions have zero credibility anyway, so nothing lost here...

i.e. ride the bus?

At least you ask the user for permission- Snapchat doesn't even alert the user before uploading the ENTIRE address book!

I take issue with this new generation of developers who seem to have no moral or ethical boundaries on the invasion of privacy.

The whole "viral/social marketing" trend is also to blame, in addition to the way that startup valuation puts so much emphasis on "traction" rather than the actual tech or even a viable business model!

It's better to have root access disabled by default on phones sold to the general public since they are more likely to just click the "Allow root access" button because they don't understand the security implications of allowing root access.

Yahooo!

If you visit SF, there are hipsters on fixies all over downtown.

The Internet is full of dicks.

... then, they acquire the project and the ex-employee is back at Salesforce again.

Perfectly plausible deniability, and the money stays in the company!

The real benefit of Netflix/Hulu is not so much a reduction in video bitrate, but that they run cache CDNs closer to the customers, so there is less traffic traversing long distances over the Internet.

Thus, less "Internet" traffic (but more last-mile traffic).

It doesn't have to be a high-amp power supply- you could use a low-amp supply to charge up another supercapacitor, then use that capacitor to charge your laptop's supercapacitor.

I was alluding more to the customer support aspect of it. If a technician spends one hour troubleshooting your network problems, then they've already lost their profit for the month.

The customer.io story seems like a great example of why NOT to use budget providers like OVH and Hetzner for mission-critical applications.

You get what you pay for.

Yet there's no shorthand for the "potentially beneficial" scope...

I just hate that the general public connotes "radiation" with "harmful".

Lies! It's not radiation-free because light and heat was generated (and thus radiated)!

Go ahead and switch! The razor blades are a sunk cost.

Probably just a case of careless copypasta-ing by a clueless marketing guy.

Agreed. If the penalty were cheaper, then you'd have people (such as OP) breaking parking laws more often.

$("#mischacam").attr("src", camURL + "/snapshot.cgi?_=" + Math.random());

Out of curiosity, why do you append a random number between 0 and 1 to the URL?

I don't see any value add... are you just reselling SFF PCs with Ubuntu preinstalled?

What makes this Kickstarter special?

Completely agree with what you said, but I think you mean "complementary", not "complimentary".

Meh. It is just your ______. What is the big deal?

^This is a slippery slope!
