The only reason we knew about it the first attempt was because it was leaked, whose to say they won't just try again in the future...

It's valid. The distributed consensus ultimately decides which chain will be used.

Solid observations.
Re:Ask HN: Which domain registrar and hosting provider do you prefer?
on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @01:48PM (#18554377)
I've used a lot of registrars over the years, and overall Namecheap has been the best experience. I wish they supported U2F, but other than that, no complaints.

Another benefit of IH is the dramatically increased HGH production. Not sure if calorie restriction has similar numbers.

You don't know he's lying, you just assume it because he didn't cite a source. It's not the first time I've heard people make his claim, so it might not be baseless.

Your social credit score will plummet too, probably.

Same. It makes sense that a big org like that would eventually change, but it still sucks.

It's not as bad here, but just the fact people are downvoting you for stating this suggests it's still common here.

I like using a different plugin manager with OMZ.

If you use a lot of addons, this can load up prompts faster without losing any OMZ goodness.

You had me until the end. Do you really believe a Chinese alternative to PayPal would be more open and less prone to censorship?

Thank you for founding this project. I've been playing around with DAT, and using it with this the browser seems very promising. Keep up the great work.

It's for keeping your body in ketosis. High fat, moderate protein, and zero/very low carbs - which is why people diet this way.

Fiber. Most all-meat diets suggest taking fiber or psyllium husk supplements for this very reason.

This is why I laughed at Bitcoin Cash's proposed "We'll make our blocks as big as demand is", because long term that doesn't scale if every dedicated host needs the full ledger.

Amazon own the largest public cloud provider (AWS). Assuming they use it on this, it makes sense they'd want a bunch more IP addresses.
