Curious as to what Gratipay was, so I did a little a research. It turns out the maintainers of GratiPay have handed over all assets over to Libreapay[0]. Libreapay appears to be a fork for Gratipay. This might be what you have been looking for!
Out of curiosity, have you had a chance to explore the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)? WSL allows you to run your favorite linux distro with access to most command-line tools, utilities, and so on[0]. I have been a .NET developer for about 5 years now and recently began working in Ruby. The WSL had allowed me to effortlessly set up my Ruby dev environment, while still maintaining Windows 10 as my main OS of choice. While the WSL might not be a full on replacement to a linux OS, it is definitely a neat addition to Windows 10.
Not being able to opt your child out of DNA collections seems like what could be a slippery slope to a Brave New World. What's even worse is the level of misinformation surrounding the situation. Even if the samples are held under the assumption that they will be used for research, one should be entitled to opt-in, opt-out, and know what is happening with their/their child's DNA. A lawsuit here seems reasonable if not to stop this, to atleast shed light on the situation.
I agree that human nature is corrupt at its core, but the blockchain is not. Placing cryptocurrency's aside and realizing that distributed entities will allow us an attempt at curtailing the effect of these negative human qualities is what I value the most. The blockchain is a perfect example of a publicly accessible ledger that is resistant to manipulation after the fact, inherently making it a source of truth. Blockchain technology will not change the entirety of society (in our life time) but it has definitely become a catalyst for social change.
I have no idea what you are talking, but I love it. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a peraon be so passionate about something. Thank you for posting this, it made me happy.
I was too feeling lonely not long ago after losing my partner of many years. I had fallen into a pretty bad state and just felt more alone with ever passing day. After my grieving I knew something had to be done and I decided to choose between two things I've always wanted to do, boxing and salsa dancing. I eventually enrolled in a boxing academy and love it. My coach is a great man, my fellow sparing partners are almost like family now.
I have made a connection with these people I never imagined I would have. I suggest you think of something you've always wanted to do and just DO IT.
Bonus: I also look and feel great now thanks to working out.
I am a Windows developer, primarily C#, WPF, and Win-forms. I must say I have had my fair share of interaction with desktop applications. Electron is great for prototyping and bringing an idea to life quickly. Like many have mentioned the performance is pretty terrible. There has to be a balance between performance and development time/ease. Personally I can work quickly on WPF (due to exposure) and tend to stay away from Electron because of its performance issues.
