Cansado de pagar cargos bancarios, de falta de privacidad y flexibilidad?

Por qué las criptomonedas son importantes y útiles? En mi opinion las criptomonedas juegan un rol muy importante en el libre comercio y la privacidad. Las criptomonedas no están bajo la regulación de ningún ente centralizado y por lo tanto, son casi immunes a la censura. Muy a contrario de los bancos y corporaciones como paypal, que en ocaciones cedieron a la presión de gobiernos para censurar a ciertos individuos o instituciones, el caso mas famoso probablemente sea el de Julian Assange. PayPal y demás instituciones financieras estuvieron obligadas de enfriar sus bienes y así, evitar que la gente done dinero a causa de Wikileaks. Más detalles aquí.

Today I started Safari for the first time after updating to OS X Sierra. I’m a long term Chrome user because in my experience it pretty much always beats the rest of browsers regarding speed. But today after opening Safari I was in awe. Web pages opened so crisply, even Facebook completely loaded in about 2 seconds, something which I can’t remember experiencing in Chrome.

Today I asked someone on Instagram why she had this weird link on her description box. She told me that someone had told her that it makes the profile more “visible.” So being the curious character I am, I thought, what the heck I’ll test it as the link does not contain Javascript and thus is not some kind of XSS which would risk my account. I copy-pasted the link into the “Website field” input and pressed submit. After that, I got an error and some message about spam. LOL
So nothing happened at first but then a friend sent me a screenshot..

Apparently, the effect is that friends that were previously tagged in pictures, get re-tagged.

Some comments about Germany’s education as I experienced it.

• A short introduction
  Hi, I’m Karl, a Computer Science student currently studying in Germany’s Saarland, and I’d like to provide a little essay on my experience of the first semester as a master’s student in Saarland- Germany. I’m convinced that this will be of help to other students, mainly internationals which are contemplating a study career in Germany as I get tons of questions regarding it.

When I first thought about studying in Germany in 2014, I did a lot of online research and found little information in general. At least in narrative styles like blog posts and first-hand information from students. Most of the information I found was from comments on places like Quora, Reddit, and other online forums. But again very limited in detail.

So with this post hopefully I will provide a little more detail on a variety of subjects on the topic of studying in Germany. Let’s dive in.
