    I'd consider Warframe to be pay to win though. You can get everything for free but you can't keep it for free. Warframe is basically pokemon for guns but you have to pay money for …

    This sounds to me like most retarded idea I've ever heard. If smartphone SoCs were viable server platforms then you would buy them directly from the manufacturer instead of scaveng…

    The property tax incentivises NIMBYs to stop digging their own grave and instead construct more housing.

    Because that's where the money is. Employees go to SF because that's where the jobs are. Employers go to SF because that's where the investors are.

    That sounds to me like a very small attack surface. Updating a hypervisor is far easier than e.g. updating hundreds of statically compiled executables.

    The C in the CAP theorem refers to strong consistency usually in the form of ACID transactions. MongoDB gives up the C because not all applications need ACID transactions and only …

    Those "expensive luxures" are cheap. Mandatory things like education, healthcare and rent on the other hand are very expensive.

    A phone battery only has around 10 watthours. That's less than 1 cent worth of electricity if you wait hours until it's mined empty. It's more effective to just donate a single cen…

    So you're telling me... it's a distributed database? Global consistency is nothing new.

    I don't really get it. Sure it's fine if one p2P app uses 3GB (1GB for the append only log, 2GB for a database with indices that can actually be queried) of data. What if you have …
