You mind emailing me (in profile)? I'm looking for some Bali specific info - just want to work and surf basically :)

Can you explain how land value tax relates to current UK council tax? Is CT just a really poorly implemented LVT and could LVT be implemented by modifying the existing CT system? I…

Is this basically the same as what Whonix does (routing through a dedicated gateway VM)? http://whonix.org

Sorry, I got excited and imprecise. I suppose I mean "developing on and around". I'm just trying to counter the idea that the excitement around ethereum is somehow manufactured by …

Are you suggesting that Consensys, Microsoft, R3CEV and Red Hat are only developing on Ethereum because of clever marketing? There isn't some technical merit to the platform that m…

Someone linked to B4RN [1] the other day: community owned, non profit, symmetric gigabit internet in the north west of England, for £30 / month. If more of these networks spring up…

Any more specific advice on enforcing payment if you deliver the contract early?

I wrote notedown precisely so that I could edit notebooks in my text editor and version control them as plain text. It would be good to be able to transparently edit a .ipynb in a …

With the infrastructure described, I can imagine the turnover increasing as 'paper' length decreases. When there are lower barriers to sharing with other scientists perhaps the sci…

Yes, BlockQuote can be used as a generic block container. It doesn't have attributes itself but you can put them on a header at the start. For generic inline elements you can use C…
