Honestly, there should just be a required ethics component to all college curriculums; I am not sure why it needs to be technologically focused. I would actually say the tech industry is the least of our worries with concerns to ethics; the

This might seem like a random question, but does Webkit partition their browser into a kernel and a render engine like Chromium does?

The real threat to privacy focused coins isn’t government — its competition from within the blockchain space. If the lightning network works, it would effectively hide transaction history and activity similar to how TOR works.

I think the notion of banking won't go away, but today's concept of a bank will: no more physical locations, ATMs, wire-transfers that cost $30, etc. Maybe opening an account will be as easy as getting an email address (at least f

I think you must also consider why an Ethereum auditing service would be viable in the first place in light of two concerns: 1. Flaws in wallets often provide higher bounties, so the people who discover vulnerabilities are more likely to ex

Using Open Zeppelin does not guarantee the lack of contract issues, but since it is independently audited, it is more secure than contracts built on top using the Zeppelin library and which are not audited. For example, Parity - covered in

I wouldn't discount Tesla: 1. They already have cars on the road, albeit Model 3 has production delays. 2. The people who buy Tesla cars are the same ones who are willing to adopt self-driving technology faster. Waymo has no brand reco

I disagree with the characterization of magical. Ethereum is already having issues with scaling (e.g. low amount of TXs per second and non-trivial fees). Plus, everytime you interact with an ERC-20 coin, you have to pay the fee in ether. I&

Sadly, the United States operates more on a credit system than relying on having cash or funds upfront. Society regresses towards that when people want things that cost more than what they can afford (e.g. homes, cars, college education). S

I think all-in-one accounts would work if the user themselves owned the data instead of Google; honestly I'm a bit annoyed that I need to have a separate account / identity for every webpage I visit.

While similar in structure, they have different objectives: Git is for version control of files; blockchain is for maintaining balances. In addition, the protocol of blockchain is way more complex than the one for Git; you have concepts lik

A better analogous structure would be the structure used in Git. The only major difference is that Git is a DAG while a blockchain is restricted to being a tree. What do they have in common? A block is a commit, containing a metadata and a

The most fascinating part of the article was the tidbit about how fire was a potential factor in the differentiation of humans and other primates. If the theory holds true, then society perhaps has a greater impact on our evolution than pre

Yes, I believe you are referencing Wernicke’s and Broca’s aphasia — which may occur after a stroke depending on which hemisphere was affected. But different specialties in the brain does not enforce the idea that the left part is logical an

Your wealth may be safe, but what about people's trust in the network? This is an attack on morale. I'm curious to, however, whether a 51% attack has ever been pulled off.

If it costs $20 to move a million dollars, then why not use a $30 wire transfer? The way I see it is that Bitcoin's advantage should be to move any amount of value across the internet for a low flat fee; anything less then the hassle o

Are you implying that arbitrage is the main source of trading volume on these exchanges? And if so, how would arbitrage be a viable long-term strategy given 1. long block-times which prevent quick movement of cryptocurrencies across exchang

All this cryptocurrency talk has inspired me to understand the innerworkings of exchanges -- so how does a company like Coinbase scale to meet the demands of new customers? Surely they're not the first company to deal with this problem
