Wouldn't it change all modern warfare? Aren't mortars a big part of all land battles?

Thanks for all the answers? So I'm wondering couldn't we do a lot more hydroelectric in the US by running pipes alongside rivers?

Why do large hydro electric projects always use dams? It seems like a dam wastes a ton of land creating a lake?

So is this a box spring? Or more like a futon? Maybe add something on up your site that has a cross section picture?

Very good point. But I still think the bitcoin ecosystem is missing a foolproof way to securely store bitcoins in the way that US dollars have a bank.

Paper wallets can get lost or stolen, A lot of online wallets get hacked, and DIY encryption doesn't seem like a great way to go either, especially for grandma.

I'd happily pay a fee to coinbase in exchange for some kind of insurance against them being hacked.

What is all of the piping and canals for? couldn't this just be built right next to the water way?

Would it be possible for CoinBase to have some kind of FDIC like insurance? It seems like that's the biggest problems with bitcoins these days is that there's no safe place to store them.

Which part is generating the keypairs? Is it bitcoin specific?

I'm curious how it's done. I'm thinking to code up something where people can have a small amount of bitcoins donated to every URL they visit. If it ever caught one if could be a way to fund content instead of ads.

What if instead of going to charity, the bitcoins went to the visitors of the page?

That way it could be self perpetuating?

How did you code up the handling of payments? Was this easy to make?

And a follow up question, what would an example of a brain over fitting something it learned?
