What makes me smile about this (and any) "disorder" classification is: > For gaming disorder to be diagnosed, the behaviour pattern must be of sufficient severity to result in sign…

This conversation is 6 months old though. Quite suspicious the New York Times have come to this incredible revelation now, yet didn’t mention it in Nov 2017 when it was actually a …

Total myth. Nobody has ever formulated an accurate prediction without gaping holes in the logic. Also, even with their exaggerated calculations is still a tiny, tiny fraction of th…

The original article is a joke. Large buy orders will obviously increase the price, and to describe this as manipulation is completely misleading. There's also zero evidence that T…

I can find a shortened version of the full interview: https://youtu.be/wFr1ooaVPjY?t=8m59s IPO stuff is from 9 mins, but the whole video is crypto related / fairly interesting.

Jay Clayton (Chairman of the SEC) was talking about this last week. He was saying that the cost / overhead difference between ICO and IPO is so large that they either need to make …

This is a good point, however the volatility is primarily that the space / projects are so new. The economic structure of each project varies, however most are designed so that if …

It's amazing how quickly young children can learn to swim. My daughter went from disliking the water to swimming 200m with perfect technique within a couple years. Learning to tumb…

This is a great point that kids don't want AstroTurf and climbing walls -- ultimately they just want to play. Its the same in the UK. Schools close within 15 minutes unless you pay…

That's true. But as the person knows they are configuring a web server, I would say this is more carelessness / incompetence rather than an "accident" in the same way as losing a D…

But...you would have left the diamond ring by accident. Files don't "accidentally" become publicly accessible via HTTP. i.e. you don't return to your computer one day to find every…

Yes, the house analogy is not accurate. It would be logical to assume that as the files have specifically been made public via HTTP then no laws are being broken by viewing them un…

They've made the information publicly accessible via HTTP, yet react like this when someone then views in. Scary stuff. I just can't comprehend this at all. To even describe it as …

We seem to be moving from an era when internet censorship was considered bad, to one where "It's OK, we're just censoring this". I have no sympathy towards gun use - but the princi…

Interesting case. The real question for me is: Why does a Casino use card patterns that are not symmetrical? Considering how much resource is invested to make sure everything else …

Hypothetically, anyone could "prop-up" the crypto market for a newly launched coin by buying the first Asks from Poloniex at a deliberately inflated price and then sell back-and-fo…

To be fair to ZCash, the high prices at launch were primarily due to very limited supply and market manipulation. The "screaming dive" is really just heading towards a sustainable …

Good spot, though not surprising to me. Worth adding here that it also appears Zcash stakeholders have been internally buying/selling their own ZEC at inflated prices on Poloniex t…

Wouldn't it make more sense to use Monero instead of ZCash? Privacy is compulsory with Monero and also the entire platform is decentralised. The privacy features in Zcash are optio…

Rule #1 of freelancing: If there's anything you definitely want (i.e. money) then always get it in writing beforehand. Some people will make it deliberately hard for you to get thi…

I am a developer and have been seen many similar "positions" in the past (particularly 10 years ago, .com boom). IMO they are intentionally trying to screw you. Do all you can to p…

I've run my own email for about 4 years now -- I'm fairly tech savvy, but don't know much about email -- so was pleased that my "quick" solution has worked well. I use Apple Server…
