New comment by _zeo8 in "Gmail.com redesign leaks, looks pretty incredible"

_zeo8 — Thu, 12 Apr 2018 21:17:27 +0000

From the article: "Thankfully, one of Google's most popular productivity apps is not turning into a whitespace-infused nightmare hellscape (like say, Google Inbox). The layout is mostly the same as the existing Gmail.com, and, just like today, there are three information density settings to choose from. The new Gmail really does seem fine on the whitespace front."

Great to know!

New comment by _zeo8 in "Bitcoin Mining Now Consuming More Electricity Than Many Countries"

_zeo8 — Wed, 22 Nov 2017 23:57:51 +0000

> The energy here is wasted because Bitcoin does almost nothing of value.

You can also argue that mining gold is a waste of resources because gold does almost nothing of value.

> Yes, there are other uses for Bitcoin. They are miniscule in comparison to its use as an investment product.

What about gold? Aren't its uses minuscule in comparision to its speculative investment value?

The point is: The market decides. One can argue that Bitcoin characteristics (encrypted, pseudo-anonymous, open source, decentralized, global, scalable, deflationary, stateless, etc.) justify its speculative price.

Reminds me of the Sequoia "RIP: Good Times" and all the "tech bubble warning" articles in 2008.

If someone sends real leaks to Wikileaks and they don't publish, then the leakers can use alternative channels to distribute the leaks (for example, sending directly to journalists), and then accuse Wikileaks of not publishing. Has anyone already accused Wikileaks of not publishing real leaks?

Yup. We are using embedded tweets to display news. We may add a fallback solution to display the tweets content in the future.

Pay daily instead of monthly. This way it is harder to "blow all their money" and not being able to afford food. Or a hybrid approach: 50% of the monthly income upfront and the other 50% distributed daily.
