Facebook won't change until it does. Any other story is narrative fallacy - so hard to predict these things.


The community is well-aware of this problem already, right? Title seems a bit click-baity, but it's definitely an active area of research. Bitcoin is still less than a decade old :)


I feel like this could be useful for Lightning Network though. Banks that incentive which supernode to route payments through, inherently creates a competitive marketplace


How does this contribution differentiate from https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.01383? This work just seems way too early + applying quantum-safe crypto to existing Bitcoin ECDSA seems like an easier and more practical solution.


> (Unnamed): Infection-resistant materials for preventing infections

Why not give it a temp name for now? Seems strange to leave it unnamed


That was my bad, I forgot to list it on the application. We've been using the name Feynman Nano as a way of paying respect to the godfather of nanoscience and the first nanoscience entreprenuer (or so I've been told, haven't been able to verify).


"Septiphobic Materials" seems to be free


While that's a technically accurate name (in much the same way an "oleophobic" coating can help keep oil off lenses), I don't think you'd want to build a company around something with "phobic" in the name.


Have no fear for fear is here?


This is awesome! I'm sure if you open up the API, many people would want if for their respective players (this would be awesome with Overcast.fm, for example)


It's a bit surprising since Apple Pay has, by far, one of the better UXs for a wallet application. Adding cards is really easy and paying with Touch ID is really simple and intuitive.

I imagined that once Apple finally came out with a mobile payments solution, Mainstream America would pounce on it, but it hasn't seemed to happen yet (or maybe ever).


For wallet apps it may well be best, but the UX doesn't beat my actual wallet, which contains several contactless cards.


> but the UX doesn't beat my actual wallet

Why not? You don't need to pull out your wallet, find the right card. You just put your phone (which I'm already holding when I'm waiting in line, but maybe that's me).


I have strong suspicion that Google will support Go in the future: - Go 1.5 introduced support for mobile development (and Android in 1.4): https://blog.golang.org/go1.5 - If Android can become less bound to Java, I see Go becoming the go-to language for Android development.


Then they will need to change their official statement that only Java matters, as communicated at Google IO 2014 Android Fireside.


Huge fan of Anker products. Really solid design + aesthetic (just wish their Micro-USB cables were a bit thinner at the plug). Monoprice is also very good when it comes to bang for your buck.


Flights actually cost that much - most airlines don't make much money on the flight itself [0]. A flight with an airline like Spirit or Frontier charge the bare minimum for flights without any extra frills.
