txsh··on Why a Bitcoin future will always end up in centralization
I hope you’re not getting paid in BTC for your shill posts.
txsh··on Thousands of Turks accused of using Bylock app despite never having used it
You’re probably writing this from a country that drops bombs on people without first knowing who they are or why they are there, just that they appear to be male and over a certain height in an area of terrorist activity. No courts. No oversight. No accountability.

What Turkey is doing is terrible but mild in comparison to the drone war.

txsh··on Relativ – A VR headset that you can build yourself for $100
A cable between the screen's board and the Steam Link inside the headset.
txsh··on Relativ – A VR headset that you can build yourself for $100
I wonder if you could replace the Arduino with a battery-powered Steam Link without the headset being too heavy.
txsh··on Paying journalists to promote brands in articles
These journalists should just call their critics racist and sexist. It worked during the Gamergate scandal.
txsh··on Amazon announces candidate cities for HQ2
I think you misunderstood me. Whole Foods was unusual because it would buy the land and build shopping centers for its stores. The idea was that they could be their own landlords and rent out the rest of the space to other companies that have similar products and services. That’s why you’ll often see a natural pet food store or an organic restaurant next to a Whole Foods. They attract customers to each other.

Over the years they’ve bought real estate based on the number of college graduates who live nearby. Having started in Austin decades ago they most certainly own a lot of land there in prime locations.

So, now that Amazon owns Whole Foods, it might already own a lot of the land it needs to build its new campus. If it builds elsewhere it might be much more costly.

txsh··on It is not possible to detect and block Chrome headless
There are Chrome extensions that automatically pause the video.
txsh··on Amazon announces candidate cities for HQ2
On the other hand Austin is the headquarters of Whole Foods Market which owns a lot of real estate. Until recently they built stores with cash and often owned the shopping centers their stores were built in.

Texas has no state income tax which wouldn’t be a public reason for the choice but is obviously going to be a factor.

Austin is also a good culture fit with Seattle and is a startup hub.

txsh··on Global Warming’s Worst-Case Projections Look Increasingly Likely
If the “science is settled” and an outcome better than the predictions is impossible, then an outcome worse than the predictions is also impossible.
txsh··on Poverty-Fighting Startups
> We have enough wealth on earth to provide food, clothing, and housing to every single human being.

That's like saying nobody should ever be without water because of rain. There's more wealth than what's needed to provide necessities but it isn't located everywhere its needed and getting it there is often virtually impossible.

txsh··on How I trained fake news detection AI with 95% accuracy, and almost went crazy
He’s not detecting fake news. He’s detecting articles that match the writing style of a handful of publications and labeling everything else “fake”.
txsh··on Google used a tax loophole to shelter $19.2B
Awful headline. There is no "tax loophole" and billions are not being "sheltered".
txsh··on Spotify hit with $1.6B copyright lawsuit
Let's be clear what this is really about: Spotify is rumored to go public next year.
txsh··on Spotify hit with $1.6B copyright lawsuit
Bad link. Remove the quotes.
txsh··on DHS weighs major change to H-1B foreign tech worker visa program
> Some of the people from South American countries are basically are coming here so they don't get killed.

So? That’s a problem for their government to solve, not mine.

txsh··on MoviePass Adds a Million Subscribers, Even If Theaters Aren’t Sold on It
Thank you. I never understand why people complain as if good parenting isn't an option.
txsh··on Using git-flow to automate your Git branching workflow
If you're that worried about merge conflicts, isn't the real problem that you haven't refactored enough for SRP? If two people are working on different things, they probably shouldn't be editing the same code.
txsh··on Bitcoin is Eating Itself
Don’t know why your post is being faded. You’re absolutely correct.
txsh··on Bitcoin is Eating Itself
Just a couple of years ago Bitcoin users were mocking Western Union for their $5 fee:

Now, a mere mention of this will get you banned from /r/bitcoin. It's amazing how quickly the anti-authoritarian spirit of Bitcoin turned on its head.

txsh··on Building a Poor Man’s Deep Learning Camera in Python
Do you have hummingbirds in your area? You could setup a high fps camera pointed at hummingbird feeder. Hummingbirds aren't afraid to approach a feeder placed just outside the window of a house.
