I don't think it's off-base to say that this is an attack on the current state of society - the oft-repeated wail that capitalism and the opportunities it has brought (including technology) has made us all a despicable group of he

Although that is a pretty good deal. Shame about the Kimsufi's though, very useful things they were.

If you look at history, a fair deal of truly massive reform comes only in response to the threat of revolution, as the incumbent elite seek to give up only enough ground to appease the masses and maintain control. There's even economic

I am so sick of this bullshit. Government has to go. We gave it a good few hundred years to prove itself, and it can't.

He means the validation of your sign-ups' email addresses is too restrictive and disallowing the '+' (which is valid). In fact, an awful lot of characters usually excluded are valid. There's a spec somewhere.

Not true in the presence of other bidders, where the threat is that someone else's true valuation may be below X. This is game theory domain, and I haven't modelled it, but I'm quite confident the outcome for each player is

Changing requirements and development landscape do not an analogy to a gardener make. I do not 'grow' nor 'tend' code, trusting some unknown universal force to keep me on the right path. I engineer buildings, bridges, ro

If LinkedIn sent me this box of self-aggrandising cruft I'd be geniunely pissed at them for imposing onto me the responsibility for its disposal.

I would argue that this point is irrelevant. The leaked materials have shown complete disregard for the spirit of the law and the spirit of not being an asshole (see smiley-SSL-breaking-trollface): questioning the motives of those involved

I've done some reading. This idea is about refining the concept of money, to give control to the agents and remove the untrustworthy and incompetent regulatory control. Interesting indeed. However the mechanics of maintaining stabil

Not following my logic at all. This is the currency of a country, which has a business cycle - it's relative magnitude is not relevant. Bitcoin is a global currency - the impact of the business cycle of the underlying assets is direc

This is an novel thought, but I don't see how this does much to mitigate agent expectations as regards the valuations of real assets, which is the underlying issue here. Theres also the question of how practicable such a scheme coul

The benefits outweigh the costs because the alternative is a depression - and that's a really bad thing, people die etc. Also this isn't a symptom of a problem needing cured, it's more a symptom of the human condition. >
