I am an emigrant and even I find it unfair to local population. Basically you are getting the 1% best prepared of India or other countries. Of course locals can't compete.

First of all, Pedro J. Ramírez ... buaaargh <vomiting>

Having saiud that, it is a pretty cool way to show information, yet it could be better. That way of showing the data is a bit biased and over represents PP/PSOE. At the end of the day, let's say PP "won" in Madrid, they will not be able to appoint the major anyways, cause Ahora Madrid will ally with PSOE. So basically... a bit useless.

Also, "Otros" is 29.7% of the votes!!

I think you missed the point of the news:

First AEDE, the Spanish News Publishers’ Association lobbied for the law that created fees for web linking (pretty insane and ultimately unfeasible).

After the law was passed, Google said they would then close Google News Spain since they make no money with it.

Now AEDE seems to have changed its mind and is actually asking the opposite, for the government to prevent Google News closure.

Also, regarding your points: 1. You should not make arbitrary laws. 2 and 3 are good.

This is a GIANT, epic scale burn to Munira Rahemtulla.

Very classy calling it "whining ramblings". I wish you never have a similar situation in the work environment.

Bravo for anyone standing up for ethics in corporations.

IoT researcher here. You can buy devices with LTE or GSM connectivity, or Bluetooth LE if you prefer. Those still work well for battery devices since the new Bluetooth provides sleep cycle syncing. Also for LTE sleep patter synchronization is being added.

I agree that we should try to make all chunks of a file available for the other peers, but also all files that participate in the p2p network.

I am not sure which kind of structured p2p system popcorn time sues, but if it was a DHT it should make sure that there is replication of the rarest files works too.

So that people who want to watch weird east European movies also have the opportunity, just as those who want to watch the latest blockbuster.

I hope popcorn time does not immediately delete cached chunks...what a waste.

That's a weird definition. If you divide a large file in chunks of different sizes and you are sharing even 1% of them you are already seeding. And the point of popcorn time is that people are participating the p2p overlay much longer than with other p2p applications, thus seeding longer too.

I understand leechers as those who, over time, mostly download rather than upload.

Exactly, people seem to forget the usage patterns.

That is not necessarily true, it will depend on the number of peers and the chunk replication rate. You can tweak the ratios so that the first part is available more often.

In fact,you are also forgetting about the usage of each peer application. With traditional torrents you download the movie, close the app and watch the movie. Total seeding time is the same as the downloading time.

With popcorn time you are seeding WHILE watching the movie, the total seeding time is much, much longer than in the first case.

AFAIK popcorn time is also seeding.

People should be virtually rioting for this.

Hi, great tool guys! Lovely. During configuration I keep getting an error during the creation of the database connection to mysql: "Connection failed. Unable to connect to host database because access was denied. Double check host username password to ensure that access is permitted"

Can't I write whatever username and password I want? Should I create the database before hand?
