I agree, it may not have to do with SHA, yet.

Does this remind us of some glorified Ponzi scheme? How does Bitcoin get hacked? It certainly isn't easy unless you are an insider. And perhaps NSA, since they created SHA-256.

Excellent. It isn't so hard to understand whats going on there. But I guess people often fall for popular narrative. Some do understand, but don't want to admit ;)

Suddenly one day how did this "ISIS" spring up so well organized with great "PR" work. While they were plying their trade in Syria, they didn't seem to know that their sworn enemies lived just across the border. Wonder why they never really attacked that country.

I agree. That's all I meant too. Stating the obvious - As in, if you say anything in support of this Trump fellow, you will be down voted. And this is true as exemplified by the "down votes".

knowThySelfxon Uber Paid Hackers to Delete Stolen Data on 57M People

That is exactly my point ;) The irony is lost.

User starik36's comment was in a downvoted state. Which is what prompted me to write that comment. I didn't think what he said deemed a down vote because from general observation what he stated seems true.

knowThySelfxon Uber Paid Hackers to Delete Stolen Data on 57M People

You can't say anything approaching positive about Trump. You will be down voted. The vehement supporters of freedom of speech doesn't support this. Well, the irony.

knowThySelfxon Google will ‘de-rank’ RT articles to make them harder to find – Eric Schmidt

Exactly. It all depends on whose side you are. If it is from the side which the establishment/puppet masters favor, then its all fair. How much trust do MSM's have these days? They have bought it upon themselves by being slaves of people with agendas.

knowThySelfxon How we do Vue at GitLab: one year later

Agreed. The webside ecosystem is in a high state of flux. It has to be streamlined somewhere. Does it need a fundamental architectural change? Would like to see things a bit more saner ;)

knowThySelfxon How we do Vue at GitLab: one year later

Is it bad to write without all these JS tools? We just use Visual Studio and include the standalone Vue.js file. We write plain css (no sass etc) and js with some occasional JQuery. We don't use Nodejs and its build tools (Kinda don't like the complexity all those tools bring. You are more worried about the tooling than the actual problem at hand). We use Ajaxmin and Httpcombiner. That's it for Frontend.

Vuejs is great. Found it to be easy and simple to understand. Big thumbs up for Evan You.

Vue documentation is just superb. Kudos to those wrote it. Evan Yu, in particular. Only those who understand a topic very well can present it so simply.
