This kind of covers every conceivable case for doing this. If you list enough reasons you're bound to be right on one of them.

A level headed classy response to a knee jerk baseless claim. To think that two (or three or a dozen) clever engineers couldn't independently look at one of the most popular mobile apps and think "I can game this" is silly.

Yeah honestly it's annoying enough already to pick out one specific word from a whole thoughtfully written comment and point out that it's incorrectly used, but you're not even right in that. Furthermore, you can't even

I dunno I think if it were an alien spacecraft we should just keep our heads low and not draw any attention to it. Our first window of opportunity might be our last.

Refusing to defend your statements is not a compelling way to win an argument. If you believe that you can dismiss a candidate because you have "fundamental disagreements" about politics you are incorrect. My contention is not tha

I wholeheartedly disagree and do not believe you have done anything other than support my thesis. Fundamental disagreements about something important are the very definition of political / philosophical belief. If someone does not poss

You dream of building an electric semi truck to beat Tesla to market? If that's in your range I don't think you're currently in the right field, whatever you're doing.

But the example you cited is not a legitimate legal reason to dismiss a candidate in the United States. It is a philosophical belief and thus protected by the Equality Act of 2010.

"but I'm actually glad American border security doesn't discriminate." Wait, what? Questioning a group of teenagers is discriminating them based on age, not skin color. They're looking for drugs. Not everyone is tr

A blockchain and a company are not the same thing. A blockchain shouldn't need trust but a company absolutely does need it. Until the product is built you have no idea if they're even going to produce anything. If they have a num

I'm not a fan of the name "Culture Queries" as that harkens back to the pernicious "not a culture fit" excuse, which is a term used by folks in order to discriminate against candidates under the guise of some amorph

As soon as I can experiment with programming an EOS or Cardano smart contract I'll be happy to comment on their viability, but as far as I can figure out you can't, or at least no one is doing it. Ethereum has a working smart cont

I would argue that Ethereum is where it's headed. Ethereum does everything that Litecoin/Bitcoin does along with a smart contract programming layer built into it, and a great team of incredibly smart people iterating on the platfo

Yeah why? Why would you publish strictly an answer key, with no solutions or discussion when the site itself, a well known and cherished part of the software development community has explicitly requested that you don't?

The whale metaphor in this sense means something completely different. Language is highly subjective, so no the gambling metaphor is not applicable here.

Tether are, ostensibly, backed by $1 in a bank somewhere. Having a dollar token is very useful, since you can move in and out of crypto trading positions into a stable store of value, good old USD. Converting to real money takes a long time

I disagree. There is a section of the article titled "Where is all this cash coming from?" which claims (via a Reddit thread) that it's individuals buying on credit.

Anyone speculating about what's going on with Bitcoin without at least mentioning Tether is out of the loop.

Not sure where that's from but that's not true. There are no intentional inefficiencies and you can't mine Ethereum individually.
