You are mentioning it's encrypted end-to-end; please explain how your server is unable to read the contents of the stream?

People usually don't go to a status page to see if a page is reachable from their computer. They know that already. They want to know if it's a global issue, and if the company is aware that it's down, and when it will be back up.

Look up the current fees for bitcoin transactions; they're more expensive. Also much slower.

Statistician here with experience in the financial world: you're wrong. Don't confuse the existence of Wikipedia pages and books written by people wanting to make money with actual science.

Moving averages have a function in statistics. But there is no evidence that they can be used to time the markets. If they could, it would be done algorithmically by hedge funds, closing the possibility.

Please show actual analysis of market data (i.e. recent published scientific papers) supporting your positions. Without those, it's quackery.

Presumably the advantage of this over a standard filter is that blocking (hopefully!) checks SPF/DKIM and verifies that the person being blocked is actually the sender of the email. Simply blocking a From-address would not be effective.

(Heavy metal or other) contamination of the drugs you receive could be an issue. Who's testing the India-/China-produced drug?

You might receive an Official batch that may or may not be checked by their local governments, but it might also be from a more shady source.

I too use Gandi, but am not as happy as I used to be with them.

I bought a domain from them a while back with private registration; a few weeks later I found out that private registration was not available for that TLD, and my details were publicly visible, making the domain unusable to me. I emailed Gandi, and they told me there was nothing they could do; they were not willing to refund my money, even though their site said private whois was possible for that TLD.

I have some questions about the legality: Since the miners mine this contract (or include it in the blockchain, or whatever it is for Ether), does that make them violate the UIGEA [1] or other gambling laws? And since the OP lives in NY, does creating & posting this violate, for example, "promotion of gambling"-laws? [2]

You speak about "Europe" like it's a country with a single set of regulations. It's not-- it's a continent. Even for the European Union, the rules are actually extremely varied:

http://www.worker-participation.eu/National-Industrial-Relat...

And even those countries with councils have (as the link also mentions) very varying rules on exactly what the councils do. Please don't say "Europe" when you mean "some European country".

What's at stake is not just the debt of Greece, but also Italy, Spain, and possibly others. Forgiving Greece part of its debts sets a precedent for those countries, raising the stakes greatly.

Regarding that GDP: it's important to note that borrowing money (and spending it) pretty much directly increases GDP. So saying that austerity is causing a decline in GDP is only half the story: Greece borrowing too much money was one reason it was high in the first place.

Or it would signal that ending austerity is actually impossible for Greek politicians. If several parties in a row had promised to double the number of moons, they would also have had to renege on that promise.

The main difference is, of course, that it wasn't clear that it would be impossible to end austerity, with some thinking that the Troika would give in. But that doesn't mean the end of democracy.
