You're misunderstanding Kin. Kin is not "controlled by Kik" it is an asset that will be exchangeable in and out of the Kik ecosystem. Furthermore, Kin balances will be kept on a public ledger and any other company could…
What do you consider the good parts of PoW to be? (serious question)
Or use PoS to avoid the situation entirely.
To counter your arbitrary experience with my own, the Boston startup scene seems to be thriving.
This notation has developed over tens to hundreds of years before we had the capabilities of autocomplete and formal typing where a computer can help us write longer names more quickly. This is why single letters became…
This problem is every bit as much a political and cultural problem as it is a technological one. So I largely agree. But from a technological perspective, even if 2016 is the high water mark of the "centralized"…
This is a tactic used by authoritarian governments and is a distinct reason why laws that are poorly enforced are bad laws. A poorly enforced law provides a tool for executives (the law enforcers) to legislate (make…
Those that dig and present quality, fact-supported stories.
Under normal circumstances 80% would begin to get the Antitrust drums beating.
"You can have two accounts concurrently"... on all the sites that Facebook owns. They tried to buy Snapchat too. Some interesting reading on how we might measure the unusual cost of Facebook's monopoly to society.…
Check out Brave (browser) with built in payments. Of course, this doesn't solve your problem of who's signed up, but Brave has a protocol for that scenario and they reach out to sites and offer them the money before…
I'll add some color here. The complexity you're referring to may be the runtime? It is more complex than, say, Bitcoin because it has for most purposes a Turing complete language baked into the protocol. Bitcoin is a…
There was a comic in XKCD recently that asked everyone to preface their inspirational speeches with a disclaimer about Survivorship bias. You should read that.
lol. What?
No. That's why it is very much legal for me to chop up a tree that I find on my property but not a dog.
Source?
"unprecedented" ...actually precedented by all the resources we pour into forcing the climate TO change. And, asteroid, seriously? This is the best we can do now? May as well not eat meals anymore because hey I could…
As a matter of fact, this is what Sir Berners Lee is working on right now at MIT. https://solid.mit.edu/ The issue is not storing the data, just like "email" doesn't store data. It's just a protocol and a data format.…
evidently they already are... ;)
You've build multi 10k+ line applications in Angular 2? It was released 5 months ago.
> The rigid interfaces mean that I need to spend more time researching how to use various modules/libraries (maybe code completion would offset this problem but this is only possible with a heavy IDE that has…
Yes, good question. I use VS Code (with the Chrome debugger plugin) and that works like a charm. I don't debug javascript in the browser anymore. TS provides source mappings to map the compiled javascript back to the…
Angular 2 is a different framework, plain and simple. You can continue to use AngularJS 1.x if you were on that framework. I understand the frustration of someone who has used AngularJS 1.x. There is not really a…
I've been using Angular 2 for a medium sized application that will be going into production within the next few weeks. I'm not affiliated with the Angular team at all. I started using it when this app was very much a…
