Bots and cheating are in a similar category but considered different things. Cheats unfairly enhance a player's ability to raise their rank while bots sell the lowest-level account…

What about the ETH blockchain is needed to fulfill this requirement? Bitcoin's blockchain can be used in the exact same way.

Theoretically ETH can easily replace bitcoin as a payment method for anything that can be bought with BTC currently. I would imagine some people investing in ETH are expecting that…

My BofA account has a whole spending habits section with graphics and charts and a ton of features, for free, which comes with my debit account. Why would I want to do all this mys…

I'm not quite sure I follow. I only see news posted by my friends and the pages I follow. What would FB lite look like?

In most publications editors select headlines for all stories in an issue. The writer does not have a say in what is printed as the title of their own article.

This is a perfect example of what I was talking about. It is a nice idea. However there are no problems charities face that existing FIAT currencies or bitcoin or standard real-wor…

> That's not true at all though. Smart Contracts are being used in a wide variety of great projects. Do you have any examples of projects that would be truly different or impossibl…

Using a blockchain to enforce scarcity and authenticity of digital objects is a cool idea on paper but only actually becomes effective under one of two scenarios: 1. Everyone simpl…

The more confusing thing is what will happen when the userbase finds out Ethereum "smart contracts" aren't good for anything except online gambling which certainly will not be allo…

It's not only a free-market solution, it's also the solution that doesn't involve giving your ISP plaintext data and trusting them to do nothing wrong with it because the governmen…

I was mistaken, and you're 100% right. I hadn't realized Pewdiepie lost so much from this slip-up.

It seems like the definition of "imploded" in the context of JonTron and Pewdiepie is "lost an insignificant and negligible amount of subscribers".

If someone is concerned with their ISP knowing the sites they visit, they can use TOR or a VPN to re-route that traffic elsewhere. There is no way to avoid this. The way the intern…

You do not have to be tech-savvy to install a browser addon.

This does not restrict your freedom because you can still encrypt your traffic and obfuscate your browsing history easily using free and open source software.

Of course you shouldn't use a free VPN for anything sensitive, but to obscure your browsing data (like what you search for or what media you consume) it's completely fine.

TOR is free and is specifically for the purpose of anonymizing your connection to the website you're visiting. This article isn't about authenticity of your identity, it's about co…

Ethereum tried this, and a bug in the code lead to millions of dollars of value lost. They ended up hard-forking the code by changing it to match the intended outcome of the code, …

To put things into perspective, let the Bitcoin network hashrate (double SHA256 per second) = B and the number of SHA1 hashes calculated in shattered = G. B = 3,116,899,000,000,000…

Google filters out negative auto-completes. Try the same thing with Trump or any controversial figure, like Martin Shkreli. For example, when typing in "Martin Shkreli is a" on Goo…

Not necessarily. It depends on defensive capabilities. It's very possible that two countries get into a conflict thinking it is a mutual assured destruction scenario, only to find …

Yeah, that screenshot comparison is like comparing a basket of mixed apples at a market to a vast field of apple trees.
