yeah, some of this is fluff like the "block youtube, make youku" stuff. but there is some genuine innovation, and i'm glad for increased supports for start-ups in asia in general
lots of negativity here. i think it's a cool idea, and i hope he runs with this. if you're problem with bitcoin is "it's not quite perfect enough" then that's a bad reason to not attempt this
it has obvious benefits (and some cons) over the bolivar or a foreign fiat currency, but ya know, baby with the bathwater
i look forward to seeing where this goes
but i do agree about LN mainnet not being appropriate to use yet
i remember back when my dad bought lotus 123 for like $60 at the local store. that was a fair value
i think the app store and ad-supported software really devalued a lot of forms of software for most lay people. my wife still gasps when i spend a buck on software
As someone who sells on Amazon (just used books and whatnot), the third-party system is great when everyone's honest. I can sell a $40 book for $15 used because otherwise it's just collecting dust, the buyer can easily find the item and shop among third-party sellers. (since my item gets organized under the main amazon search result, vs. ebay where every item is totally seperate)
loved my 6-speed 2015 mazda 6. highway miles were truly amazing for a full sized sedan. like others said i'm glad to see mazda continuously innovating. it's paying off
yeah i think people forget (or just don't know) that flash became animate. Most of the "html5" animations we see are made in animate. so in a way, it's all still in the same family and toolset, just the delivery format has changed
that said, i'm really curious as to what's going to happen to actionscript. Starling really ran with that and it's an otherwise really nice language (as3, that is). i'm glad they open sourced it and I hope it still gets developed.
i also hope they keep developing and supporting AIR
it's really nice to have /controller/method/param/param routing out of the box, so the speed of 0 to MVP is quick, but on the other side, renaming a route sucks. unless you have a list of overrides in which case, may as well just use hand written routes from the get go
i think we can all agree that the main issue (in america) is population density (lack thereof, could the system ever pay for itself?) and the american suburban lifestyle not being compatible with high speed rail
Exactly, as anyone who used ecigs knows, if you pull when the coil is too hot, you get what i'm assuming is formaldehyde and friends.
when used normally, the ecig should only vaporize the PG and nicotine (2 ingredients). if you burn the mixture, that's where you get a cocktail of chemicals akin to a cigarette
it's admittedly hard to describe but a really vital difference. its the difference between warming a cookie and burning a cookie. the soot from the burnt cookie is way more toxic than a properly warmed cookie
that said, i welcome more information about e-cigs for sure. but as an ex-smoker who used ecigs's step-down method and finally quit last year, we need to be very careful before crucifying this very effective cessation device
my wife, who's chinese, says its because china wanted to protected its own market. i'm sure censorship was a part of it, but think of 1 billion viewers and how much money that'd generate. the government decided that money should stay and circulate in china instead of going outside to google
