I know, but with the Raspberry Pi's and similar tech we can't be that far away from something that's technically feasible. We also don't know what Amazon has been working on behind closed doors. They are known for vast

While it is hard, impossible is a stretch. You can buy drones with autopilot that will land at a point as long as you have 10 ft of clear space. A friend yesterday was using one he'd received for $3000 to film some cliff tops while w

In the past three years the same thing was said at $33 and $266. Whenever new global interest arises it goes even higher. While I agree there is a ceiling I can't really imagine what it will be in a truly global market.

It is not untraceable, and in fact it's the most traceable currency ever. I can't imagine what a forensic gold mine it will be about spending patterns and who spends money where, especially when coupled with the online activity a

Speculation and true global interest. BTCChina has lots of activity which hasn't been as true in the past. I think it's mostly speculation fever opening in markets that had previously not been aware.

Not exactly. To be sure it isn't a double spend it needs to be part of the block chain at least six down from the most recent block generated. Each extra block on top of the block where your transaction exists is a confirmation. For

Who does this? Seriously? I've been on probably a dozen interviews where I would rank my performance from dismal to awesome, gotten offers. I was never, under any circumstance, expected to write syntax perfect code on a whiteboard.

My data structures course in which I made a B- was much harder than Organic I and II which I made A+'s by never getting any question wrong on any exam. I never figured out why that was and have wondered why I saw one harder than the o

I would argue you haven't really learned how to program until you implement some kind of machine yourself or at least written a compiler. He probably has a very intimate understanding of how all that works now, and I bet he did it for

I'm amazed that everyone is claiming the alarms are installed improperly. Aren't most of you in big cities in small apartments like me? The alarm is going off if anything happens when you live < 800 sq ft.

I actually trust the tech more than erratic drivers, which is kind of the point. Anecdote: I was driving on a 5 lane interstate when a driver to my right started to merge into my lane. I merged left and at the same time looked. There was

No, but i would have expected empathy given the proximity to my moms death. It was so self absorbed even that wasn't enough for me to like it.

I read "A Heart Breaking Work of Staggering Genius", a book partly about the death of his parents, after my mom died as a recommendation--it was fairly insufferable to say the least. I couldn't empathize with it at all. I&#

Comments also frequently repeat what is obvious and don't illuminate the bigger picture. Ie a Pythagorean theorem function would have a comment about squaring numbers and adding them instead of for what it's used in practice.
