The bitcoin price up or down doesn't correlate with "bitcoin taking over the world". It could crash down to 0.5$ and still takeover more of the worlds transactions. What matters is this graph https://blockchain.inf

Bank loans are new money according to The Bank of England http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarte... The reason banks get into trouble is because they cannot meet even their tiniest obligation

That's something to be worried about. But I'm more worried about banks having the power to issue unlimited currency which is a default in a cashless society

What we are dealing with here is what the author Steven Pressfield calls "Resistance". He has two great books on the subject that helped me a lot and you should check out: The War of Art (2002) and Do The Work (2011) Procrastinati

I really like the concept. The makers might want to reconsider the resource-hog on this one. My 300mbit connection and Mac Pro with 64GB Ram can barely handle navigating this.

This! If a task is not on the list I don't feel good about completing it. It's like it never happened, and I look at the list and it's still full. "Nothing got done" scumbag brain says :)

Not much left for low-level programmers to do then :)

Basically anything that has to do with non-web and non-mobile apps. The app for your nearest ATM machine for example.

I find web developers in general more knowledgeable. Sure they are not working in low level programming, but those that are working in low level programming often don't know what DNS, FTP or SQL is. Remember that those who work in low

What do you mean fail? You mean decrease in value? That would have been perfect, but it would have bankrupted German industry with it's sky high Deutsche Mark and noone to buy their goods in the countries with "no credibility&quot

Add Italy, Spain & Portugal, and your "tiny fraction" theory goes out the window. Had Germany just stayed with the Deutsche Mark the euro would be fine today and the Germans wouldn't have exported so much to the PIGS + Re

You can't change people with a formula. There's a lot of lazy people working now today, to the detriment of society and the economy. Think of the opportunities though, a bunch of nerds could move up to the countryside and work on

What do you mean "Here goes my dream". On the contrary, here's your chance to have that dream. Where there was little or none before.

Don't worry about it. There's plenty of need for Data Scientists and the need is growing exponentially in the months to come.

This is the shittiest article I've read on HN to date. Remittance not useful because of currency exchange spreads? Well then no currencies are useful for remittance. As for the illegal part, are US dollars not useful for Drugs, Gamblin

I have a female intern that leaves on the clock, she gets more done than me. Probably because of it. The owners of the company ask me why does she leave so early, and I ask them back, why do your people in other apartments that stay late ge

Not that im excusing mysql, but what I do when adding columns to a +10mil row tables is to create a new table with the new column and then insert into newtable from oldtable. That changes those few hours into few seconds.

Not admittedly for corporate welfare, but their priority is stopping the pennies going to wheelchairs first and then maybe look at corporate subsidies.

I agree with the idea behind the article, most libertarians are shocked at each penny spent subsidizing people in wheelchairs while turning a blind eye to the fact that Forbes 500 gets enormous subsidies from the government and that list wo

Well what you know benefits established firms as well, and is actually more valuable to them on average than it is to blank paper startups that noone knows for certain if there's a demand for. While growth hacking helps launching start
