RT @eevriviades: #Turkey changes #OTD in 1930 the name of its largest city #Constantinople (the city of Constantine) to #Istanbul; from the Medieval Greek phrase "εις την Πόλιν" [is tin ˈpolin] meaning "to the city" which had long been in vernacular use by the local population

Today in Labor History January 11, 532: One of the first documented sports hooligan riots escalated into a full-scale revolt against Emperor Justinian I in Constantinople. The Nika Riot began as a quarrel between fans of two different chariot teams, the Blues and the Greens. Over the course of a week, participants burned down nearly half of the city. Up to 30,000 people died. They were particularly angry at Justinian’s corruption, and the high taxes he levied on them.

Have to give it up to #Constantine. 1,546 years after the fall of #Rome and 569 years since the fall of #Constantinople the Western and Eastern Empire still persist through the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Church (Russia still lays claim to succession too). The flag of the Eastern Empire still flies on Mt Athos and outside of many Orthodox buildings and homes. The ethos and administrative structure of Rome still lives. The threat of #theocracy still looms now more than ever.

For any #readers interested in #victorian writings, we recently started a series of posts in the finest vein of #publishing #books in a series of posts.

To kick us off, we have Andrew Archibald Paton, Esq's travelogue from #Beirut through #Istanbul (not #Constantinople) up the #BlackSea and into #Varna, #Bulgaria.

Under current #EVM design, hard fork increasing an opcode's gas cost is actually as unsafe as decreasing its gas cost. We have explored issues for gas cost decrement in #Constantinople hard fork. We are going to explore gas cost increment issues in #Istanbul hard fork. #Ethereum
