> I want it everywhere badly in west as well as east and middle(-east). It's already there. With the exception of the US, almost every country I've traveled to in the Middle East, …

This is possible because of a concept called a flash loan. Using a smart contract, you can borrow (without collateral) and the smart contract would reverse the transaction if the m…

Not the OP, but it claims to be ~2x faster than CPython. I haven’t done extensive benchmarking, but for my small projects that seems about right.

I really don't like FG either. I use Roll20[1], but if you are completely home-brew, Owlbear Rodeo[2] is very simple and great. Character sheets on D&D Beyond[3] and the Beyond20 C…

Your snark is unnecessary. Had you Googled a bit more, you would have seen that they also share towers with Airtel, among others. Airtel is also a retail telecom competitor.

There is no hatchet burying relevant to this: Mukesh and Anil's Reliances are separate. Reliance Communications direct competes with Reliance Jio.

Completely false. Across three factories in two states, I don't get "guaranteed" power. In fact, the only place I see basically uninterrupted power is in the nice parts of resident…

> Potential for misuse is near infinite though Fully agree, though I see the potential for good to be more.

While the author is pretty clear that "only a passing knowledge of modern microbiology" is necessary, I think that understates some of the technical language in here. I really laug…

Whether I agree with the number or not is irrelevant, but the implication I get from the article is that the judge is more upset that after TWC was sued, they still made 74 calls. …

No need for a laptop if you have an iPad. Synthesia has an app. My iPad sits on my music stand connects to my digital piano via USB-MIDI.

Not at all. The fabric can be woven to specifically avoid this problem.

Are you trying to say that Indian credit cards that are 3D-secure enabled don't work for IAP? This is absolutely untrue. I have both AMEX and Visa cards issued in India, and simult…

I killed those animations in settings the day I installed iOS 7. You should too!

I had the Desire, and that was less a trackball and more an optical sensor. A much poorer experience than a trackball.

But what value does the overhead of having the foundation and all its associated risks (such as those highlighted in the article) have over the current scenario, when many marks ar…

I guess the site should have been indicative, but I'd love to have had more details about the study. Even little things: he posts a photo of his food tray. How does he eat somethin…

> I can see and agree with all sorts of flaws in the games, but they'll remain special simply because at the time, they were. I don't really have much to add to that, except that t…

I don't own a Wii U and I don't unfortunately have any plans to get one. That sale is popping up all over the Internet though, so I guess this is the first time it's been offered o…

I've long suspected that Super Metroid is my favorite--and I think this logic applies for many other video game series--because it's not only the first one that I played, but the f…

This is a beautiful piece about a wonderful, wonderful game. As much as I love Super Metroid (which, despite her criticisms, I think is superior in gameplay and puzzle-platforming)…

Have you tried Zepto[1]? It's ~9kb gzipped, and is compatible with a lot of jQuery's API. I've found that for a lot of the stuff I used jQuery for, it's mostly a drop-in replacemen…

I don't see why that's such a surprise. I thought the same for a split-second.
