To me, the argument from silence is compelling. Bit gold is not just similar to BitCoin - it is virtually identical. The only thing BitCoin has that BitGold doesn't is that concensus is formed by the holders of a majority of the comput

Probably April fools. But it's a testament to Elon Musk's gifts that I actually thought it was plausible until about halfway down the page.

There was no mention of the IRS and FBI gag orders/data transfer in this post.

I suppose by repeatable you mean that if you replayed the sequence of orders - both buy and sell - the matching algorithm would match them the exact same way as it did originally? I understand the desire to have deterministic trading algori

Yeah - Why does it have to be FIFO? Wouldn't random be just as fair?

Their solution at IEX was to coil a bunch of fiber so that high speed traders' orders get slowed down...I'd have to know more about why they thought that was necessary, but on its face this seems like complete overkill. Obviously

and how can you reduce the price without operating at a loss? if you left room to reduce prices. so yes, it does show that.

Well, commercial organizations that own office space are already forming and expanding around BitCoin - so the cost of keeping those businesses physically open would be in addition to the cost of keeping the BitCoin network up and running

the energy usage of bitcoin and the altcoins is, in my opinion, one of the few things that could threaten its viability long term. people aren't going to be able to understand the reasoning that this is the cost of decentralization - i

This will last for about 2 seconds. One of two things will happen - the auto manufacturers / dealer franchises will get to a bunch of legislators and legislate the closing of Tesla's stores. Or - they will see an opportunity and o

Just goes to show you - it's sometimes better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Imagine if Tesla hadn't opened stores in these locations - they would be indefinitely, unconditionally barred from doing so unless they had flou

I don't think they are inspecting the app ; they don't need to. They can see that there are a higher-than-average number of API accesses from a given platform, using the AWS Secret Key as the login credential.

I don't think it's likely at all. It would have been discovered by now if that were true. If you want to get away with stealing $400 million you certainly don't do something that invites the maximum amount of scrutiny, as the

We don't understand what it is yet, but more and more data points to what you have in parantheses - that it's an extraordinarily complex physical process. But even its extraordinary complexity is simpler than the other explanation

Don't really understand what you mean by decentralized systems of trust. If nodes decide to be dishonest the my data becomes unavailable, correct? The reason for the BlockChain is that some - even many - nodes can be dishonest and as l

But after you've waited 10 seconds (in my experience, with a single code change it is usually more like 2 - 3 seconds) what you've done has a greater likelihood of working the way you intended, since it wouldn't have compiled

Yes, I edited that statement out - I'm sure people have good reasons for using IDEs, immediate type evaluation being one of them.

I spend most of my time running specs2 - unit specs - from the command line. I'm sure I could have sbt trigger on save but since I save pretty much constantly I'd have the tests running all the time. I will freely admit the compi

I really disagree with this article. Type safety combined with Play's refresh-recompile trigger means it is not meaningfully less productive than PHP, and maybe moreso because compiling is usually an indication of your program's c

It is not necesssary to execute JavaScript on the server-side, or to use React.js at all (although it is a pretty neat tool.) For instance in Backbone, you can call setElement() on any view to replace its on-screen element with one that you

You need to pay BTC in order to store in the blockchain(i.e. you can't send 0.00BTC transaction to someone.) That should go pretty far in eliminating spam. Then again it might be too high a barrier for legitimate posters.
