But how are you going to make the coin available for liquid trading in the future?

No it wasn't. It's 99% a copy of Bitcoin with small configuration file differences. It is configured for one order of magnitude more transactions, but it provides no architectural scaling innovations. It's just like Bitcoin -

The thing about scaling is that you can't justify the engineering involved in overscaling until you're reasonably sure you'll need the capacity. Otherwise that's called overengineering. Managers get fired for approving s

Ripple the platform is closest to solving the counterparty problems with 1-1 USD tokens. I'm not encouraging people to buy Ripples I'm just stating -- the only way to limit the counterparty risk is to diversify. Banks are perfectl

Outside of a central bank issuing cryptocurrency, you can remove counterparty risk with diversification. Stellar Lumens and Ripples are cryptocurrency based on the wikipedia definition: A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital ass

I released a paper earlier this year talking about how we can reasonably lock cryptocurrency to fiat, but unfortunately the space is still rather immature. A single provider of USD tokens is extremely dangerous. Best case scenario would be

Could be considered fraud. This law removes a lot of concern by providing clarification. Some employers ask for pay stubs, but I agree with you, making up a number should have been OK on the grounds of privacy. Even creating a fake pay stub

Yes you're right. I made a variable that tracked the current state of keyup keydown and could detect this special case.
282.
by dangero 9y ago
Yes, you could detect the condition by tracking key-up events without matching keydown events, so I wrote a little logic that would keep track of tab keyup-keydown states and with that I could detect it.

Yes I once spent a whole day debugging an issue related to this because I was unaware of it. I was getting a game Steam ready and I was working on the Steam overlay that is triggered by the tab key. QA reported that on the login screen, you

The article lists another reason for not storing parts locally. It allows for rapid adjustment requests to the part supplier when Tesla realizes a part needs a slight adjustment to its design. Very similar concept to agile software developm

Another good example of this is an IRS audit. I went through one the first year I setup my business. They said it was a "random" audit, meaning not based on any specific findings. I had to put all of my small business resources (m

The unfortunate thing to me about Zcash is that privacy is opt-in. It would be like if Signal was default no privacy, but then you could enable it per message if you wanted to send something secret. Governments could just ban you from turni

Yes, I'm pretty sure that neither Zcash or Monero allow double-spends. Wondering what the context of that statement could possibly be. Any successful cryptocurrency must solve the double-spend problem or there's no value in the le

That has never been true. The enterprise deployment fee is only needed if you want to deploy it to OTHER phones besides your own and even then it would have to be a lot of them before it mattered. The developer license is all you need to pu

The thing is, Apple as a corporation is an outlier in a lot of ways and we saw that a big part of the Jobs philosophy when he returned to the company was to change it from the inside out. It's important to remember that this message Ap

They also state that if you own more than 2% of the company then there are special limitations on expensing health benefits.

Paying the health insurance through payroll would be in addition to the fair and reasonable salary. Say I set a fair and reasonable salary of $65,000, then I want the S-Corp to cover my health insurance $20,000 a year then I need to set pay

S-Corp greater than 2% ownership. This means I can sort of write it off, but only after the corporation providing the money through payroll which means paying tax on it upfront. Doing it that way could end up costing me money because payrol

You nailed it. When I started my own consulting business I just about fell out of my chair when my accountant said I couldn’t write off my health coverage. I pay about $19K a year and that’s after taxes so more like $25K+.

There is actually a really interesting dynamic to this option contract. Ripple Labs owns a large amount of Ripples. They own enough to tank the market price and make this contract irrelevant. I'm sure they don't want to do that fo
