This is just my observation, but this is what you get when software is used in such critical situations and yet the entire software engineering/development field is completely non-standardized and practically the wild west. Again, this

I invest long-term into a couple of interesting projects and you're absolutely right. Most popular alt coins suffer from near daily pump and dumps and and a casual look at hourly charts will easily reveal this. I can't even imagin

I think the price of 1 XRP is going to be somewhere between $5 and $10, $5 being more reasonable. The time to buy in was when it was less than a cent and nobody believed it would go anywhere. On a sidenote, I believe Ripple is made primaril

The United Kingdom is fairly close to the Boreal Forest Biome [1] which spans across Eurasia and North America in a narrow band. I wonder if it used to include the UK region back in the olden days. Does anybody know? [1] http://w

I think that's about what I would expect from HN considering that Bitcoin was largely known for its speculative value rather than its technology. In a way, the success of Bitcoin is its biggest enemy in communities like this one.

I don't think it's a ponzi scheme, but some projects built on it, such as BitConnect, most likely are. I think Bitcoin is the 1st generation of cryptocurrency which should've either died a long time ago and replaced with the

I personally think that Bitcoin will eventually be taken out by Ethereum, which will then give way to the likes of Cardano or something similar that will figure out issues with scaling, sustainability, governance (ie civil resolution of con

I was a B student in a Russian school from 1 to 8th grade and started in an American High School in 1999. If you factored in ungodly amount of mandatory summer break reading everyone had to do in Russian schools, you'd probably end up

I agree. Colleges and Universities end up teaching basic math concepts and playing catch-up instead of being places of higher education. It must be costly to be keeping this up.

I've been hearing that .NET is dead/dying for probably 8 years now. I work on an enterprise software platform comprised of mostly .NET microservices and some NodeJs sprinkled here and there on the back end. 80% of our .NET code is

This is the second event involving BCH which is looking very "artificial" for the lack of a better word. About a month ago, BCH started an abrupt up-climb while the prices on BTC started to fall dramatically. BTC recovered soon af

Bitcoin price started to tank on December 18th @ 00:00 UTC while BCH started an up-climb at right about the same time. This could be explained by the anticipation of the announcement from Coinbase. But then shortly after Coinbase stopped al

I'm not a gamer or a game developer, but this is absolutely brilliant. Very clean API and I'm sure a lot to be done with this features-wise. Best of luck!

My grandmother's sister was married to a man who served as Captain of the 1st rank on a nuclear submarine in the Soviet and maybe even Russian Navy (I don't know exactly when he retired). As I found out later in life, he was also

Thank you for your insightful comment. I absolutely agree with you. There is a very bright and positive side to social media, which has been especially apparent in recent months. Yet it's hard to not see the worrying trends in public r

I think it's subjective. I personally don't have much invested in Bitcoin and if I did I'd probably keep at least half of it in a personal wallet and half in Coinbase in case I wanted to cash out at any given moment and not l
