I agree with the overall sentiment of the piece. The one thing I disagree on is the perception that there should be "killer apps" for bitcoin. I think this perspective views Bitcoin as the the technological breakthrough, looking f

What are all those other buildings around it that look just as big, if not bigger?

The real question is how we got here in the first place. Wasn't it the opinion of some scientific body and/or government health entity that basically said "fat is bad" and set us on this 30-year craze? Where are the pitc

I'm highly skeptical that it was just offering bitcoin that reduced donations. For example, if they're making an API call to the payment provider on each page load to generate a new bitcoin payment button, the page load might be s

This doesn't make any sense. Why would a company intentionally screw over its customers over such a trivial issue? Their window is 15 minutes because of bitcoin's tendency to fluctuate in price. If the network hasn't delivere

You should consider freeing up some device space, it worked wonders for me.

I use "hoodie culture" to mean generally introverted male programmers. That there are obviously exceptions is a little missing the point I think.

by beaner 11y ago
This is an extreme interpretation of what I said. I had a good time, they were my friends, but absolutely everyone was male and introverted. I could elaborate, but do I need to or do you see how that could get stale?

Is anyone else bored by hoodie culture? I used to work at a startup like that when I was young, and I enjoyed it then, but there can be so much more to companies. Where I work now, engineering is roughly a quarter of the company. The rest i

You're leaving out taxes entirely.

Maybe. I guess it depends on what you consider "super high". It'd take a few years to build up $1m from a $1m salary, and there's no guarantee the job is even kept that long.

No idea whether or not this guy is super rich, but annual salary and net worth are two very different things.

Who says just hooking up was Tinder's "original function"? This is something users attributed to it because some people who are successful in using it this way brag about it and spread that reputation. This doesn't mean

The bank has a legal obligation to fulfill those IOUs, which in practical terms is essentially as good as "owning" the dollars. There is always the risk of a Bernie Sanders kind of scam, but it's rare enough and regulation is

Right, that's what I was saying. The point is obviously not to collect one company for each letter. When they have 5 companies that start with G, are you really going to look at them and say "LOL I TOLD YOU SO"? The name just

So it's impossible to tell either way. So we can't assume it's him.

I don't get it.

I think you're taking the concept behind the name a little too literally... They're not going to collect one company per letter just so they can have an "alphabet" of 26 companies. The name just implies that they have a

The most likely scenario is that the company would have an exit event in that time, in which case you would purchase your options and have them liquidated in the same moment, meaning you do not actually spend anything, you simply receive wh

In San Francisco, just yesterday I took a taxi that reeked of the driver's body odor. A few months prior, I took a taxi where, after I got in, the driver said if I wanted to use a credit card, he'd have to put it through one of th

I imagine many of the most expensive years were due to the space race with Russia. Basically, a side-effect of the cold war. Can that really be taken to represent the peak of human interest for the sake of science alone?

Regardless of comparison to things like PayPal and stripe, bitcoin-related repos definitely follow an exponential curve up and to the right. Until that peaks, I don't see how that kind of growth in developer interest can be seen as a b
