No mention of the 'stress test' that's brought the network to its knees the past few days, or of the soft fork that resulted in suggestions to wait for 30+ confirmations? Puff piece. C'mon Coinbase, at least spin them…
People who drop an extra 4 dollars so their morning commute is reliable and moderately pleasant are now white privileged elite. I'd hate to hear what you think of people who drive cars. Wanting to be at work on time…
Why use the profits from October in the headline of an article published in February? The cost of bitcoins has nearly halved in the meanwhile. Hope they had a healthy profit margin before.
On the contrary, it's very interested in the truth. When you want to present an expert witness, you include in the paperwork what truth they're going to tell the court, and their evidence for it. The trial is a show for…
He also claims they passed it back to him immediately before the bust. Only slightly more effective than the "I was holding it for a friend" legal defense.
They'll have to update the acronym DPR to stand for Doughy Pirate Roberts.
All those regular sellers are most likely the miners, who have to quickly move their bitcoin to cover mining costs. In an unfortunate feedback loop, the cheaper the coins cost, the more of their production they have to…
> if someone has backdoored your login server, it no longer matters if passwords are cleartext for the damage they'll do. The level of difficulty you introduce by having passwords hashed originally becomes moot at that…
Possible result of Iraq/Afghanistan wars? The army's reported 1 million injured, but I'm not sure how many of them transitioned to disability. Would disabled veterans be reflected in these numbers?
"You'll love these guys. They've got Macs and french presses all over the place" - My recruiting agency's understanding of 'cool startup culture'
It's interesting that both the author's story and one other in this thread so far both mention their significant marijuana usage. While the "marijuana causes schizophrenia" hype is statistically exaggerated (and the…
Describing Sauron as a 'necromancer' is akin to calling Gandalf a 'fireworks manufacturer'. It's a small part of their skillsets, and not what they've built their personal brand around.
One thing that raised a red flag to me is telling his tenant to stay at a relative's if the house was unlivable during repairs. Every state's law is different, but I'd be very surprised if it's not his obligation to…
Doctors and lawyers regulate who can enter their field. Doctors even control how many students med schools can accept each year. They seem to still be 'prestigious' professions. They were just smart enough to avoid the…
This article seems disingenuous, since by its own admission these search results have recently changed. It gives the impression that Google backpedaled after being called out on its favoritism.
Individual transaction fees are being heavily, heavily subsidized by block rewards currently. Just eyeballing the current numbers: ~400 transactions per block, 25 btc reward, ~500 usd / btc gives a transaction cost of…
And if they were poor, they'd just be people jealous of the success of others. Ad-hominems are an easy way to sidestep discussion.
That sort of thing is easily available for any reputable charity: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary... Looks like administrative costs are about 10% of overhead (fundraising is a net positive,…
Not quite. USD will always be accepted by the United States Government. If you live in the US, you'll probably owe them taxes no matter what you're payed in, and as such, will always have some need for USD, and USD will…
"I haven't been able to find steady work for ten years, and this article written a week ago is why."
I provided the convenient option. It's just that it leaves your funds massively exposed. The relatively lengthy transaction times built into *-coin transfers are going to make most conversions 'clumsy'. What alternative…
"Just give me a few minutes to upload my XCoins from my XWallet to XY-Exchange, convert them to YCoins, and a few more minutes to transfer my YCoins to my YWallet". Either that or you keep all your coins sitting in said…
And it's worth pointing out that taxi licenses are really an artificial barrier to entry to keep existing taxi services safe. Atlanta's apparently costs a median 36,000, and in big cities like Boston or NYC, they can…
