> I want it everywhere badly in west as well as east and middle(-east).
It's already there.
With the exception of the US, almost every country I've traveled to in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe has tap-pay enabled. The Middle East has virtually everyone paying with their phones via NFC. In India Apple Pay doesn't work but when I travel there I can use my phone every time. NFC cards are also the norm.
This is possible because of a concept called a flash loan. Using a smart contract, you can borrow (without collateral) and the smart contract would reverse the transaction if the money is not repaid. There is a cost to borrowing, but in this case it obviously made sense. Cryptocurrency arbitrage bots were some of the first implementations of flash loans that I know of.
I really don't like FG either. I use Roll20[1], but if you are completely home-brew, Owlbear Rodeo[2] is very simple and great. Character sheets on D&D Beyond[3] and the Beyond20 Chrome extension to link DDB and Roll20.
Your snark is unnecessary. Had you Googled a bit more, you would have seen that they also share towers with Airtel, among others. Airtel is also a retail telecom competitor.
Completely false. Across three factories in two states, I don't get "guaranteed" power. In fact, the only place I see basically uninterrupted power is in the nice parts of residential Bombay.
While the author is pretty clear that "only a passing knowledge of modern microbiology" is necessary, I think that understates some of the technical language in here. I really laughed at the line, "Silencing a gene with CRISPR/Cas is incredibly simple." Still, I learned a lot. This is the closest I've come to feeling like I know what's going on in CRISPR.
CRISPR has got to be one of the most important scientific achievements of the past few decades, right?
Whether I agree with the number or not is irrelevant, but the implication I get from the article is that the judge is more upset that after TWC was sued, they still made 74 calls. I assume that the per-call fine was upped because of that.
Are you trying to say that Indian credit cards that are 3D-secure enabled don't work for IAP? This is absolutely untrue. I have both AMEX and Visa cards issued in India, and simultaneously use them for domestic and international online purchases, IAPs, and in-store. Never had a problem. Frankly, I've never heard this.
But what value does the overhead of having the foundation and all its associated risks (such as those highlighted in the article) have over the current scenario, when many marks are happily going along day-to-day?
I guess the site should have been indicative, but I'd love to have had more details about the study. Even little things: he posts a photo of his food tray. How does he eat something like spaghetti and meatballs(?) (or whatever that was) using silverware while inclined -6 degrees from horizontal? What was the result of muscular atrophy? How did he use a laptop at that angle to play SC2?
> I can see and agree with all sorts of flaws in the games, but they'll remain special simply because at the time, they were.
I don't really have much to add to that, except that this is a really succinct way of describing, I think, what you, the author, and I are trying to say.
I don't own a Wii U and I don't unfortunately have any plans to get one. That sale is popping up all over the Internet though, so I guess this is the first time it's been offered on the Wii U as a bundle?
I've long suspected that Super Metroid is my favorite--and I think this logic applies for many other video game series--because it's not only the first one that I played, but the first one that I beat. I find myself nodding along to every criticism of the game, but there is just something special about that first play through. That incredible sense of simultaneous delight, fear, wonder, confusion, and suspense is still a really vivid memory for me two decades later.
Believe it or not, I have never played any of the Primes.
