The difference between the US and Zimbabwe is that if the US had a civil war and inflation ruined the currency, it would send the world into the second dark ages. Civil wars cant happen in the US? thats good to know, but i wont take your (i

You are correct, but you can trisect that piece of wood an infinite number of ways. The logical equilibrium point is 3 even pieces. The student chose a ratio of 1,1,1; which is the logical equilibrium point. your image shows 1.5,0.75,0.75;

I've always found arbitrage to be the best way to earn money in mmo's. I used to buy up all levels of cheap green items in the wow auction house, according to exact limits i came up with and stored in a spreadsheet. then i would disenchant

its about efficiency. There simply isnt a demand for tech workers in san jose to fill the residential high rises. (Also the hardware industry has gone down significantly in the past 20 years. san jose will never have the 70's and 80's again

i agree. the article is building up to the conclusion, not some stupid off-hand reference to star wars. Sometimes HN fills up with too many me-too comments.

reality tv + vigilantism = a new form of journalism? im being glib, but there are some serious ethical journalism questions that deserve to be brought up. First of all, does every step of the investigation need to be broadcast? Is this real

a congestion charge would lower density. People wouldnt cram in, most would just leave. Obviously we have different goals in mind for the city.

The worst possible thing SF could do would be to completely change density and building heights in a boom period . The money is here now, so are the people. But are the entrepreneurs in soma going to stick around if the VC money dries up?

The post has nothing to do with one-way functions. The point was that its very difficult, if not impossible, to consider all the possible attack vectors in a system, even for someone with a lot of experience, even for a very simple system.

You can become a programmer very quickly. But if you want to teach yourself to become a good one (something that no one else will do for you), you need to put in the time and effort. The article isnt called 'become an entrepreneur' in ten

I think twist is inaccurate. More like it veers you from strongly believing one side, back to feeling uncertain about which side to believe.

Yes, it helps the flow of the thread. At least that way I know what line of thinking you are using. Otherwise, why even post?

I think I we are saying the same thing. I am saying that a transaction is public, not the details. I am also saying that dominos will have that transaction tied to the delivery address. This is not intrinsic to bitcoin, its all done on domi

Im not an expert, but I will try (and if im wrong, let me know). When you purchase something via bitcoins, it is public information. You have an address that is public that says abcdef bought this . abcdef cant be traced back to anyone unl

This is a good example of why patenting a process is acceptable, but patenting the end result is bad. If Monsanto patented the process itself to create these dna sequences, the German farmers would not be infringing on their patent because

This case is a bit different than the Haber process because these seeds are used to produce organisms that manufacture more of the seeds. If you are patenting the process to manufacture this type of GM soybean seed, won't it cover any proce
