Actually i think some real progress has been made

these guys have an open source algorithm that can solve captchas.

Sadly, this seems only like a modest improvement on the same machine learning problem at best, though I can't say I'm an expert in the field...  Tongue

I just saw the video...  Grin

Anyway, it's an interesting idea, but I know of no evidence that event points in that direction.

Yeah, I thought about it but decided against it as it would be open to abuse. Already a few users using bots and have made 1 million+ bets each. Although I do not object the usage of bots in the multiply game, giving people bonuses just for playing that would result in widespread abuse of the system.

Ah, you're probably right.  Roll Eyes

Still, what if it wasn't dependent on how many times you play, but for example, how much you lose? Or something like that...

This week I have decided not to Gamble any of my winnings, just to see how they compare to the last 3 weeks of gambling... I have gathered so much more, partially due to the recent increase in the faucet. Gambling really does not pay.... but it is so tempting lol

I remember reading a suggestion about rewarding those that gamble more, maybe by slightly increasing the rewards of the faucet... did wetsuit say/change anything about that? It seems like it could be a good incentive to increase gambling, if done right.  Smiley

Já agora, isto pode ser útil para alguem:



Isto são as áreas de influência para edificios de entre nivel 1 a 4. Ainda não cheguei ao nivel 5 em nenhum, por isso não garanto que esse em particular esteja certo.

Entrei em algumas ofertas de celular e já solicitei 3 pagamentos.

Não parece mau... sempre paga melhor do que faucets.  Smiley Mas não foi preciso gastar dinheiro através do celular para receber os pontos?

Uma boa opção pra galera que tem um note velho e quer deixar só pra mexer com BTC, use o Lubuntu.

Não sei os detalhes completos ou se novas versões já não têm os mesmos problemas, mas parece que o ubuntu (e o lubuntu por extensão) tem alguns problemas com privacidade: https://prism-break.org/ e https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks. Se calhar uma alternativa mais segura seria Linux Mint com base em Debian, se bem que ainda não seja tão "user friendly" como ubuntu neste momento.

Registei-me no site e você ganhou mais um referral. Não dá tanto como o freebitco, mas é um bom começo para quem ainda não tem litecoins. Obrigado pelo link.

Socialists, like me, like bitcoin because it allows freedom and anonymity in transactions - which is as important to those fighting for change against dictatorships as it is for individual free-marketeers Smiley

Hmm, are you sure it allows anonymity in transactions?  Roll Eyes

faz outro la embaixo e deixa esse cair ou demolir ele se precisar do terreno

Pois, foi o que acabei por fazer, mas primeiro ainda fiz 1 upgrade ao mercado para ver se a área de influência aumentava bastante em nivel 2 e chegava a 2 ou 3 casas... ou seja, perda de tempo e de recursos.  Undecided

Do you know about the consequences if such an incident occurs? More than a hundred million people will lose their lives. World economy will collapse. Large number of people (perhaps including you) will lose their jobs, inflation can hit three-digits, there will be shortage of food and medicines...

You obviously didn't see the comic I linked to. And you seem to have also missed the "edit" (which was already there when you answered), in which I say pretty much the same thing you do, in not so many words...  Tongue
3432  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 06:47:49 AM
im curious as to how that would work? how would roads be created then, if no one owned them? who'd put the money out to get them built? if businesses pooled their money together to build roads, they would start complaining if someone who did not use any of their services or goods used the roads.. because that'd be freeloading.

Well, the people themselves did all that. And that's not how it would work, but rather how it did work. Read up on it (or watch the documentary)... it seems like you would be surprised at what people can do, if they put their mind to it. Tongue
3433  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 06:29:46 AM
Yes; I believe the Spanish anarchists followed a communist model.

Shh, don't mention the C* word... that will scare people away. Tongue

But yes, I believe they were anarcho-communists and/or anarcho-syndicalists, though having nearly nothing to do with the Russian form of communism, which I guess was little more than an excuse for a totalitarian state.
3434  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 06:17:46 AM
as far as public infrastructure, i think private companies will create roads.. but then you'd have toll roads everywhere. and since men are not created equal, one guy might climb to the top of the ladder and own all the roads. what happens then, when he charges you exorbitant fees?

I'm not suggesting an American libertarian, or anarcho-capitalist system here. The examples I gave were of real anarchic movements, that is, without hierarchy. Infrastructure was still created and maintained, without the need of anyone in particular owning it.
3435  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 05:25:51 AM
i guess you agree with me then, because i think if 1 country were to go anarchistic (and they are surrounded by state-run governments), an external force (neighboring country) would come in and invade them.. which has happened in the past. i don't think just arming every man and woman with a gun is going to get the job done.

Well, I suppose it depends on the situation. Sorry in advance for the following scenario, I know it will be offensive, but sadly it seems to me to be how things work:

If we're talking about a third world country most people never heard about and have nearly no contact with, that were to try this, I suppose external forces would have an easy time directing the propaganda to paint them as a target, for whatever reason. And unfortunately, some people would probably protest against it, but to no avail.

Now imagine a relatively rich country were to try this, say Iceland. I have a hard time imagining propaganda would work so well in this case, particularly if the transition to anarchy was a relatively peaceful one to begin with. Then again, this may be a little overly optimistic.  Roll Eyes
3436  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 04:46:36 AM
are you talking about the movement that lasted for 3 years? the movement that ultimately gave way to francisco franco? i'm not really well-versed with the history of anarchy in societies, but it seems like they usually don't last very long.

Yes, the forces of Francisco Franco eventually won the Spanish civil war, leading to the dictatorship. But my point is, it didn't fail because of a lack of internal organization. It, as well as other similar movements throughout Europe (in Greece, Italy, etc.) in the period immediately after the Second World War, failed due to external attacks. In Spain mainly because of the Fascists and Communists, in other parts of Europe they were "liberated" (read "slaughtered") by the Allied forces.
3437  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 04:32:58 AM
and how long did they last? just a blip on the map. i don't know what the solution, but if you have an anarchistic society, you're probably not going to be as well-organized as government run states.. which means they will come for your ass and use you and your resources up.

Oh, they were pretty well organized alright. In fact, in many ways much better than the government they had. Take a look at the 6 part BBC documentary "The Spanish Civil War". You have to understand, this wasn't chaos and "survival of the fittest" we're talking about, it really was a well organized society... it just so happened that it had no central government, and still worked.
3438  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How long would it take for Anarchy to start working? on: December 08, 2013, 04:19:28 AM
Anarchy would never ever ever work.  Human nature is not anarchical but hierarchical.  

Hmm, haven't relatively large anarchic communities already existed? For example, those in the regions of Catalonia and Aragon in Spain, 1936.
3439  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will China go to war with Japan? on: December 08, 2013, 03:57:10 AM
I don't think it will happen; it's little more than sabre rattling. But it would be cool if they did... http://endlessorigami.com/comic/china-and-japan-go-to-war/  Grin

EDIT: Oh, and to those discussing who would win and who has the biggest stick, I think we would all lose. Tongue

The Juice News had an episode about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxHvHi-MdIM

One of my favorite quotes from that episode: "why don't you leave guns to the criminals, like us in the military?"  Tongue
