Lightning is the solution and it's going to be great for making micro transactions w/ bitcoin again.

Lightning network is actual innovation and the next evolution in making Bitcoin easier to use for the masses. One step at a time.


thanks for everything you do jose, looking forward to getting our hands on it.


no kidding.. mine is $1800/mo for a family of 4..


beyond a pain it is incredibly over priced. To the point I can no longer afford it due to making just a little bit to much for subsidies.. They want $1800/mo for my family of 4. That's more than my $1600/mo mortgage and I am 100% positive insurance provides me next to nothing since I go to the doctor less than 1 time a year.

What I ended up doing is cancelling my insurance, I pay our doctor in cash on day of services. He gives us an instant 50% discount to pay same day without insurance. I pay the fine, and get disaster insurance in case shit happens for about $20/mo.

So now, Obamacare is failing not only me, but those its designed to give free insurance to. Because those that are suppose to be paying for the free people can't even afford it and are no longer paying.

The fine is a whole different story and is literally extortion.. Give money to this private company(i only have BCBS to choose from.. nothing else) or we will hunt you down and fine you.. Capone would be proud.

Anyone who supports the current obamacare system is a sheep and a fool. They're literally only supporting it because of the name it carries. No one in their right mind can say this is a good system that supports the American people.

Not only that but, because of one simple mistake on my taxes around these stupid new forms, I'm still waiting on my 5k tax return and its nearly August.

I voted for Obama twice and have never been more dissatisfied with my health insurance.. At 35yo this is by far the worst it has ever been. Before obamacare I paid about $75/paycheck for a really nice plan from my employeer. Now it's $1800/mo and my employeers will only pay up to like $800 when I've had one.

I work for myself now so it's different.


What state are you in?


i assure you that audio quality is clearly determinable.. even at the most basic form. Listening to an analog vinyl vs a digital CD is night and day.. the flat tinny sound of digital audio is shite.


i use cloudinary for these same type of features over AWS. Their libraries and UX isn't always the best but their transformation features are out of this world good.


So T-Shirts and Gold checks next to your name are worth a 1.8B valuation? It's a propaganda machine at this point.. that's its worth.


You jest.. t shirts sales can be huge in sports . For ex some soccer teams like manchester united or real madrid make enough to justify a valuation not much different based on the t-shirts sales alone...


reddit is about to suffer the same mass exodus Digg did if they keep up the shit brigade.. That site has gone to hell since the election.. ruined by shills and bots in every subreddit.. can't be bothered w/ it anymore.. sick of reading about Trump and Hillary.


Stick to the smaller technical subreddits.


Programming subreddits, aside from a few well moderated ones, are more full of vitriol, fanboyism, and misinformation than HN.


Also the smaller local ones (for your Town/City/etc).


/r/portland exists in an unending state of butthurt, but your town may be different!


So is /r/nyc :( all trump all the time


In the UK, /r/CasualUK is quite chill


/r/Austin is toxic beyond words. There are sometimes great gems though, which still makes it worthwhile to comb through the piles of racist trolling and other muck but it gets to be a harder job every week. The mods just don't give a flipping flip. It is sad.


you can unsubscribe from the toxic communities and subscribe to the wholesome/uplifting ones. seriously i dont know why so many people complain about stuff entirely within their control


Would love to get others opinions on this format of billing and insights into how you do things at your studios.


the python community is like a snake eating its own tail
