Coconut is a functional programming language that compiles to Python. Since all valid Python is valid Coconut, using Coconut will only extend and enhance what you're already capable of in Python. Why is there no lime in the coconut?
I say, "Doctor!"

You obviously need the Linux memory extractor.

Here's a novel idea: just stop collecting the data. Then projects like this are unnecessary, and your MBAs and engineers can focus on creating products that make a positive difference in the world.

I say look on the bright side, they're actually testing something!

Is it just me or does this smell of extortion.
ZDnet: So I'd think Bali has a good chance of becoming a commercially available entity at some point.
Your data is collected without your knowledge (stolen) and now you have to pay in order to get it back and delete it. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Oh, it gets better.
It looks like you will only be able to control a copy of the data, stored under your private namespace (that's like a literal namespace).
Their stolen data won't be affected.

There are dozens of new sprites, backgrounds, and sounds for you to play with. The brand new extension library lets you add new sets of blocks that connect to hardware and software services and do even more with Scratch. In case you've got the itch
Actually, a great tool to get kids (and others) understanding some programming concepts (IMO).

That's probably because the only people using it are the miners.
You've got to look after your core users.

For a few minutes I was actually hopeful that a major ponzi-coin was going to move away from using proof of pollution. Then I read the rest of the article, apparently stopping polluting within their existing platform was too hard; so they're going to create a new ponzi-coin without it instead and are hoping all their users will switch over. Based on the historical track record of ponzicoin splits though, I suspect both versions will remain around meaning that etherium v1 will continue to be an environmental disaster for years to come.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It describes a social condition many of us feel, but chances are you’ve never heard of the term that’s just been crowned Word of the Year. Is this what we've become as a species?

This doesn't surprise me.
My nomination was for the word "d1ckhead", but the non-standard spelling that I had to use on the form was obviously a problem, so they went for a synonym.
