Got to say: I can't really think of a better way to solve trust problems in a peer-to-peer lending platform between strangers. You could use monetary collateral but if people could do that they wouldn't need to borrow in the first

Completely unrelated to the article but boy do I like the design for Keybase. The blog is beautiful and minimal with no crap popping up on your screen asking for your email (every modern blog now seems to do this.) The colors work perfectly

It's interesting to imagine adding something like this to an editors auto complete or as some kind of search function to automate functions you've coded a million times. I.e. maybe you type: "repeat a function over a list pyt

You guys do realize that most of the technology you buy is already made in China so its not like buying "American" is going to be some magical guarantee of quality. You'll find that a lot of the tech companies already have th

You can buy 12v 250ah deep cycle AGM batteries from China for around $5 per battery -- lets assume another $15 for world-wide shipping. These kind of batteries would have around 3kwh of storage per battery but since you shouldn't disch

It looks like the Bitcoin fan boys are already rushing to poison the proverbial water hole and hijack this discussion. It's always disappointing to see just how much politics have managed to infect this space. I mean, everyone knows th

It's falling apart even more than anyone cares to admit: * Blocks are now so full that transactions have stopped flowing and there's no solutions that will address any of this without forcing any of the thousands of systems alread

Right now, there are people in the nootropic community who are using experimental compounds that haven't yet passed clinical trials and in some cases have no prior history of human use at all. A large portion of the data used by commun

I wish more websites were this clean and simple. I'm not being sarcastic but its genuinely nice not to have 10 million ads, banners, and tracking cookies load every time I refresh (and nice idea for the website too.)

Centralized Bitcoin security effectively amounts to preying that you never get hacked because if you do -- there is still no way to limit what can be done with your private keys (and this is true regardless of whether the key is stored insi

You would be surprised how far a few hundred dollars spent on Adsense can take you. It might take a little bit of practice before you figure out businesses that are worth advertising but when you do -- you can get leads that pay 1000 - 100,

I was curious what the respective chains hashrate is: Ethereum classic: 650~ GH/s Ethereum: 4400~ GH/s The minority chain is honestly doing better than I expected. I wonder how long it will last? What about price: Classic: $1.87 U

True, but sadly he's right. I still get emails from projects I funded YEARS ago that have still yet to ship a single product and they're still trying to make promises. I'd argue that these platforms create a perverse incentiv

It would be really cool if Tor became like an open web standard that every browser supported. We would be able to freely host services with incredibly strong privacy guarantees and then work them into existing web infrastructure so that nor

Very nice guide. I remember seeing extremely similar code when I was working with raw TCP packets and I always wondered what all the esoteric rules were for working with raw struct memory. There was no where that seemed to explain things ha

These are good questions. The short answer is that the blockchain offers several benefits over a traditional payment system like allowing the people mining the content to be guaranteed payment (no matter what) and helping to preserve privac

It's really great work OP. I know this would have taken you a long time to do but part of me can't help but wonder if programming is becoming even more like paint by numbers than it already is.
