Read the whole topic and first post carefully. The discussion is not about what browser is better but what is proper way of handling the selection after double clicking on word.
Most of the time, the thing that controls the way a word is highlighted when double-clicking on it, has to do with the OS. some of the time, the browser overcomes the OS way.  Today I learned something new. Never noticed that it it OS responsible for that. I checked how Notepad handles it under Windows 7 and it selects the space after word too. Does Palemoon have code that overrides this behavior or not? Maybe it is the compiler who is responsible for the behavior in compiled binary? Indeed, if you had actually read my whole post before criticizing it, you would have noticed it was I who mentioned the OS, because I'm on Linux. Still, the Palemoon (and Basilisk) dev discriminates and prejudices people, so it deserves boycott. Go with Waterfox, you don't need Palemoon for nothing, not even selecting text. |

Well they have already started stealing. I'm in KFC, and they no longer put sugar, condiments,hand wipes or serviettes in the customer area. People were just filling their pockets with them. Somebody was caught in the Marks and Spencer loo trying to rip the sanitiser cream dispenser off the wall . It won't be long before we read of housebreakers stealing packs of loo rolls from peoples homes.
McDonalds has added an 8 stage hand washing instruction page over the basins in the loos. It includes illustrations in case customers don't know the parts of their hands like fingers and thumbs.
Yes yes, i see you guys are experiencing a little of what we had here for years. Indeed when toilet paper ran out, people started stealing it from anywhere, so then many places stopped putting paper and soap (and to use a public restroom, you'd better bring your own or else...) I remember when my (old) workplace stopped putting toilet paper (because the co-workers were stealing it), and also no more coffee. Get used to carry your own toilet paper in your bag... Something you probably don't even know, most McDonalds here won't even let people in the restrooms unless they show proof of purchasing something first. To live in a country sized prison, yes that's exactly what we feel too. Interesting how a little crisis are making you feel things for the first time you would normally never ever have felt in your lifetime. Next you need to experience: a hyperinflation. This was also felt in the "second world" for decades, but you didn't know because that was censored. Ask any survivors of the eastern bloc and you'll know, ask about the queues, ask about the scarcity, and the black market, the corruption, the impossibility to purchase the simplest things with worthless money, etc. Feel a bit of what the "third world" is like, but remember when the crisis is over for you, it won't be for us. |

I don't speak for all communists and there are a bunch of ways to answer that question but personally, I don't believe in seizing assets unless thats how you refer to taxes. I simply believe there is enough new wealth being created to make sure it gets distributed fairly amongst workers. The economy grows each year but most of that growth is enjoyed by the 1% while wages stay stagnant. If we simply saw that new wealth distributed evenly amongst workers, we wouldn't need to seize anything. Combine that with the fact that the US government creates new money all the time and most of that money goes to corporations and finds its way into the pockets of the uber rich. I'd simply suggest that wealth goes to everyone. There are a lot of democratic methods for achieving this like Universal basic income, education, healthcare, jobs, or housing. None of those involve seizing assets from anyone. Evaluating the impact of QE1, which began in 2008, is nearly impossible. At the time the Fed began rapidly expanding its balance sheet, a number of other events and policy changes were taking place. They included the banking bailout, the auto bailout, advent of zero interest rates, the stimulus package and an accounting change that allowed banks to hold assets on their books to maturity at cost rather than marking them to market. Had all of these taken place in the absence of QE1, how would the economy have performed? Would it have recovered as it did? At the time, it was anybody’s guess. As you see, we print money to help the "economy" all the time. I say we start printing money to help everyday people. That sounds very cute in theory, but here is the issue: How exactly do you intend for the filthy rich to share? Will you appeal to the goodwill of their heart or... You do it by force (coercion)? In the end, this is the very central point about socialism, it is to employ force (State, Workers, Party, whatever). And after you do this, a whole new can of worms unleash. You are still to experience it but i have. Once the property, capital, assets get "fairly re-distributed" (says who, a new bureaucrat who is suddenly very powerful?) Wealth creation stops, completely. If you make wealth, it will be taken from you, so why bother? However, there is now a bureaucrat who decides who eats twice and who eats thrice... Entrepreneurial mindset gives way to a mindset focused in "somehow" influence those bureaucrats in your favor. (Funny, this sounds a lot like the aristocrats in a Monarchy, hmmm i wonder why the dear leader can't never be peacefully replaced by anyone not chosen by themselves). Welcome to the "Real Socialism" corruption machine. Incidentally, those factories put in the hands of the workers also don't have much incentive to be efficient or productive (their wealth will be "fairly re-distributed, remember?) or efficient (The State has to be "fair" to the workers) AND the central power usually assigns them a new "boss" anyway, one that you absolutely cannot criticize, or else you become counter-revolutionary. And don't even think about going on strike... Some anarchist branch proposes a style of communism that seems to be less State centered, especially the ones that doesn't object to capitalism (Anarcho-capitalism). Communism ironically calls for the abolition of the State, but, Socialism wants an almighty State first, AND Marxists say you need socialism before communism, and therefore communism never comes, despite branding everything they do as communist (or socialist, depending). Now i see two key points: One, people should do things by their own choice, not coerced or forced in anyway. Else human nature kicks in, regardless of oppression or police state. Two, the less State the better, preferably none. If you are with the type that call this the "real" communism, i tend to be more in favor. Whatever communism really is (self governed communities? the French commune?) things can become much worse than you think your current situation is, just by making the wrong choice in the name of an ideal that the stubborn reality never makes possible. (Perhaps the ideal was wrong in the first place). |

Ya Venezuela lleva 17 confirmados, decretaron cuarentena para Caracas y 6 Estados. Apenas el viernes habían admitido los primeros 2...
Y si, los políticos son terribles, la mesa de los ministros acá son todos "Si señor" a todo lo que diga el "jefe" porque si alguno se le ocurre opinar diferente lo remueven. Después de todo son cargos de "libre nombramiento y remoción"...
Ojalá Movistar Venezuela regalara datos, acá lo mas probable es que sigan cortando el servicio a quienes se excedan de 1gb de datos al mes... (Vean como la misma empresa se maneja con criterios opuestos en países distintos...)

Is there a folding@home linux distro, that can be flashed to a usb for easy use on gpu mining rigs? I doubt many of us are actually running windows or a full ubuntu and not some highly customized mining os, so we would need an easy way to apply this to rigs.
I'm familiar with folding@home, it uses free and open source clients. Most distros should have it in their official repositories, so i doubt you need any specific distro for it. You might even be able to run binaries, but i cannot say for sure if there is an specific distro just for folding@home (its probably possible to just run it in your mining distro, as long as you stop the mining process). For Arch based distros, the AUR package name is "foldingathome". They also have Debian and Ubuntu official packages, i think for example HiveOS is Ubuntu based. Of course you'd need to do things like installing and running it in the console or via ssh on each rig (it will want to install and start its own service, so be aware). As for joining groups, it doesn't really matter. You could make a bitcointalk group if you wanted, makes no difference. Stat bragging? There are several groups named Bitcoin and Corona... While the humble group made by OP only has 2 workers, Reddit's "PC Master Race" group (225605) which called gamers worldwide to contribute their gpus to fight corona, currently has 2128805 workers. Not bad huh? Also I'm not to sure who ends benefiting from this "volunteer help". Universities/research is the official tale, but does it go to big pharma in the end? I'd rather be something that cannot be patented. PS: Joined OP's group, so make it 3. |

On March 12th, Bitcoin witnessed one of the biggest daily drops in its 10years history. While Bitcoin was clearly not the only financial that experienced such drop, it still came as a shock to me that Bitcoin will perform so badly in a liquidity event.`
As stocks, crude oil, mutual funds and other financial assets drop, Governments around the world will tend to print more fiat to support and stimulate their falling market, therefore, moving assets to Bitcoin which have a fixed supply with block halving just 60days away seemed like the rational thing to do. BUT THAT DIDNT HAPPEN.
Well, I remain bullish on bitcoin, because $5500 and a market Cap of about $100B doesn't represent the true value of the asset.
I think you need to reevaluate your study of history... I remember the Mt.Gox debacle, it went from 1200 into 200. You know whats 10k to 5k? 50%. Whats 1200 to 200? 84% loss. Seriously, you people need to think in % and stop looking at the raw numbers. This is nothing in comparison to the previous years, Bitcoin is still fluctuating less than it used to, and you would be a fool to not take this chance to buy cheap bitcoins while you still can... To make your brain work some more, this is the same as if the price went from $2 to $1. As long as trading is concerned it simply halved its price, not a big issue. Bitcoin is doing great during this crisis, and will emerge victorious as always when things recover. |

No te confíes mucho de las máquinas virtuales porque con los recientes fallos de seguridad en los procesadores, han habido fallos teóricos que permiten la ejecución de código arbitrario en el anfitrión desde el huesped, o que desde un huesped se vea la memoria del otro.
Probablemente no sea malo pero trata de evitar software inseguro en la misma máquina física.

It's not a driver problem
With the laptops i have used, simply having the external monitor plugged before you turn it on was enough to make it display the bios etc. After that its the OS that handles it. Newer laptops i'm not very sure. Sometimes you can see a monitor logo in one of the keyboard keys, and use fn that to cycle internal/external/both (and some default to NOT use the fn key, whatever). If you manage to get into the bios you might see a similar option as well. |

What do you like better? The way Firefox highlights a word when you double click on it? Or the way Pale Moon does? And why? Look at the sentence, below, and notice that the space after Firefox is highlighted along with the word, but the space after the word Pale isn't. Firefox does it the way it is done for Firefox, below. But Pale Moon does it the way it is done for Pale, below. The sentence: Is Firefox better than Pale Moon? Which way do you like it better, and why? . Use Waterfox. Yes Firefox is bloated and full of garbage like chrome/chromium (you'd need ungoogled-chromium). But Palemoon and Basilisk (same author) are NOT the answer. The author is a moron, who discriminates TOR users, accusing them of pedos. To such a short minded person, the idea of protective anonymity, whistle-blowing, or simply evading government censorship does not exist. They HAVE to be pedos, not unlike those that think Bitcoin has to be for criminals only... In short, stay away and use Waterfox, pretty much a sane Firefox without the developer being an ass. If you add the Classic Theme Restorer add on you can even have a sane interface too! Oh and it supports the giant library of earlier addons that were made incompatible by later Firefox versions (it also supports the newer kind). They have their own archive backup of the mozilla addons repository since they removed the old ones. Waterfox has been my main browser for years. The double click highlight is something OS (gui) related, no such thing on Linux (Xorg)*. Plus in xorg the selection is already copied and can be pasted with the middle button (which tends to be a wheel nowdays). You still have ctrl c and ctrl v as a secondary option. You cannot imagine how useful is too have two separate memory buffers at your disposal. *Why xorg and not just linux? Because xorg works with other OSes, even OSX, but most notably the BSDs. Besides Linux is only a kernel the gui is actually Xorg (could be Wayland, but that's another newfangled thing). Well formally its name is something like The X Window System. |

I never understood why grow meat in lab is good idea.
Let farmers grow the animal in natural way. Then slaughter the animal, get the meat. Or take a shotgun or rifle, kill the animal in wild and get the meat and trophies. Veganism is for pussies and gays.
No, the real hunters don't use firearms. Besides the lead taints the meat... As for OP, i won't be so funny if he/she catches "felicidad" for real, to become "infelicidad". There is no hacking it, you either become infected or not, if infected you either survive it or not. What will it be, we cannot know. |

Hola tengo una wallet ej: 1GahpXhGRjVPyQu1t5gZHvXu7mN1aghcGR con 0.1385 btc
tambien dispongo de un password me dice que es de bitcoin.org lo que pasa es que no tengo las palabras clave si que tengo un password pero no palabras clave.
Podria recuperar las palabras clave de alguna forma?
Podria vender esa cantidad de btc?
Gracias por el posible soporte
Ese password solo sirve si tienes respaldo de la cartera (el famoso wallet.dat si es Bitcoin Core). Las palabras semilla, son mucho pero mucho mas importantes. En si mismas, son el respaldo. Por eso también deben protegerse muy bien, anotarse a mano en papel sin que ningún dispositivo digital pueda verlas, etc. Normalmente cuando se crea una cartera, lo primero que te va mostrar son las palabras semilla, de ellas se deriva la llave privada que el usuario nunca ve. Como han comentado otros, bitcoin.org no tiene carteras en línea, pero tiene enlace a varias otras carteras para descargar y usar. La original es la llamada Bitcoin Core, y una "liviana" muy popular es Electrum. No es recomendable crear o manipular carteras en sistemas operativos inseguros como Windows. Recomendable siempre es usar Linux o BSD para tratar asuntos serios como el manejo de dinero en la PC. |

Ya cuando lo vi en 6000 comencé a recomendar a la gente que lo compren, ahora en 5400 está aun mejor. Si, luego de que se recupere la cosa y el mundo supere el corona virus, estas inversiones (para los sobrevivientes) habrán valido la pena.
Y si baja un poco mas, no desesperarse. Que volverá a subir luego, solo paciencia y aguante (keep calm & hold).

Discrepo.... de echo instalé exodus en otro pc y recuperé la billetera con las 12 palabras para mover los fondos que me quedaban de monedas de poco valor (hice eso por que mi pc estaba comprometido y no quería volver a utilizar exodus en el por que no sabía que había pasado) y los movimientos del robo persisten, es más cuando me robaron estaba exodus abierto y en el dashboard y empezaron a aparecer avisos en la parte superior derecha de los movimientos que se hacían, si fuera control remoto tendrían que entrar en las wallets de las diferentes monedas y hacer las transferencias poniendo direcciones y todo eso que se hace cuando envías fondos, a demás.. mira esto: Billeteras Exodus & Neon Wallets: “muy vulnerables” para los hackersYo pienso que deberías usar Linux y otras carteras. Cuando manejas dinero de verdad en la PC, la inseguridad de Windows es sencillamente inaceptable. Linux no será perfecto, pero es bastante mas seguro (por defecto) que Windows. Aunque trabajes mucho para intentar asegurar un Windows, nunca vas a lograr la seguridad de un Linux o BSD bien utilizado. Puede ser una barrera, pero es importante atravezarla. La otra alternativa sería una hardware wallet, pero solo para montos pequeños (montos grandes siembre deben ir a una cartera fría). Esta impericia te costó €2500, en el foro hay casos con pérdidas de millones de dólares, y yo conozco uno que perdió 400mil por este mismo problema. Así que el asunto no termina con evitar esas carteras. En general lo ideal es evitar todo tipo se software que no sea libre y de código abierto, especialmente carteras y el sistema operativo donde operan. Por supuesto hay mas, es toda una disciplina. En general la "PC segura" debería ser aparte de la pc de entretenimiento. Esto la gente no le toma la seriedad necesaria. Con Bitcoin tu eres tu propio banco, así que espera ataques como se lo hacen a los bancos. Es lógico que van a buscar robarte, ya no estás jugando. Muchos de estos robos ni siquiera son dirigidos, sencillamente hay programas en la red buscando victimas al azar con software inseguro al que le pueden explotar fallos de seguridad. Los ataques dirigidos son todavía peores, por eso la gente busca de mantenerse lo mas anónima posible. Puedes ser millonario, pero no lo aparentes... |

Si, bueno tu decide si vale la pena la mano de obra y el tiempo en modificar las controladoras, o comprar mas contraladoras y ya. Los mismos que venden hashboards frecuentemente venden las controladoras, algunas no les funciona el almacenamiento interno (NAND flash) pero con BraiinsOS las pones a funcionar directo desde una memoria SD. La gente que no sabe las bota (literalmente)...
Ojo si la nand flash está buena, le puedes instalar el BrainsOS y no depender de la memoria SD.

Es realmente alarmante toda esta situación, España es un país que tiene un sistema hospitalario y de atención muy avanzado en comparación con Venezuela, hoy se acaba de confirmar que en Venezuela hay 2 casos de Covid-19 en Miranda, muy cerca de la Capital , fué proveniente de un vuelo de Europa, también hay posibles casos en San Cristóbal que está en Frontera con Colombia, supuestamente hay 3 casos en el Hospital Central y otro en una clínica, ( No aún confirmado ), es realmente fuerte porque Venezuela no está nada preparada para afrontar un tipo de desafío como este. Rodríguez explicó que los dos primeros casos corresponden a una venezolana de 41 años que había viajado por Estados Unidos, Italia y España y a un hombre de 52 años procedente de este último país. Ambos son originarios del estado de Miranda. Fuente: https://www.clarin.com/mundo/coronavirus-venezuela-confirma-primeros-casos-suspende-clases_0_rFFxRvVs.htmlMuy tarde y mala la reacción gubernamental (como siempre). Maduro decretó en emergencia el sistema de salud nacional y luego el "estado de alarma" (art 338)... Pero ayer mismo la gente en la calle como si nada, rumbeando y todo. Hoy se ve gente en la calle también, transporte público (los autobuses) full gente, etc. Adivina que Estado (para los extranjeros: La mitad de Caracas está dentro del estado Miranda). Se suponía que ya era el momento del toque de queda y el cierre de todo lo no esencial por dos semanas al menos en caso que aparezcan mas casos y aislarlos. |

Does the Stock market fall in this sitaution, potentially wiping out all of the gains that Trump has taken credit for in the last 3 years? If so, then MAYBE.
S&P 500 is still up but only ~10% since Trump's inauguration and we're officially in a bear market... it's very likely we'll test your "maybe". Although it started going rapidly up in the last few minutes for reasons yet unknown. Meanwhile, if we take the title of the thread literally: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-brazilian-official-who-met-trump-tests-positive.htmlMy next portion of that expained that if the administration is able to show that they're doing everything they can do to combat this -- then Americans may not be so quick to blame the administration for inaction and may understand that. But I don't think thats what happening now. The Media has said that Trumps response to the coronavirus isn't good enough and that they're not doing enough to combat this. This is going to make people VERY VERY angry. So yes, we're putting my MAYBE to the test. We'll only know in November of 2020  When did that Brazilian met with Trump? On average you would need to wait 11 days afterwards. Remember 9 - 11? The US quickly stopped ALL air traffic, the exact same thing should have been done, but they haven't. This is one reason they failed to contain it properly. Trump is only "considering" now to halt "some" traffic, but that is not how this works. To be really sure, you have to stop ALL (yeah, North Korea style), then wait two weeks, isolate & treat any cases and wait two more weeks. Done properly you could then lift it. But, NONE of the countries did this properly, China kinda did but a month too late and it of course escaped the country. What people have a hard time grasping, is those 11 days on average you get infected but show no symptoms. By the time you recognize the symptoms, you have already spread the virus to many others the previous two weeks. And with the infections also come the deaths, then come the lamenting why they didn't act. Hey, you had this coming since January and even now, you are still letting air traffic. would have been easier if a terrorist hijacked and crashed another plane, it would probably saved more lives too... See? Politicians. He had the power to stop all air traffic, but didn't. Its too late now. |

It's that time again, where bitcoin(and pretty much almost every other non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies) does a huge nosedive. This is just a reminder that whatever amount you've "lost" with the market crash, in the end, it's just money. Money can be made back in the future through multiple various ways, whereas you have only one life to live. It's not the end. Whether you're invested in bitcoin, whatever altcoin, or even the stock markets, if you've been having suicidal thoughts, please think twice and try talking to a professional. For the suicide hotline for the country you're in, please refer to this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesTimes like today are so reminiscent of the last market crash whereas suicide-related posts and suicide hotlines are popping out on multiple crypto-related subreddits. But yea, this might be cheesy as hell, and while a lot of people here have been here since like forever(hence are probably immune to the effects of these crashes at this point), but if this saves one person it's well worth it. Happy trading and investing! You do not lose anything unless you panic sell. If it is your own money, all you have to do is wait for the crisis to be over, i'm sure things will eventually return to normal (for bitcoin anyway). Margin trading in another matter entirely, but people not using margin have nothing to worry. A good margin trader knows to set up stop loss and such things. From 7.5k to 10k and back to 5k. Nothing to worry, it'll go back up eventually. Worry more about surviving the pandemy. |
