Aren't transaction costs being "paid for" by all those people running mining rigs? All that processing power used to confirm your transaction cost someone real money. Transaction fees ostensibly pay for this, but I haven&#x

"Border areas can be especially dangerous, as authorities can confiscate a laptop or cell phone to “examine” it, then return it with the drives imaged or malware installed." Has anyone actually had this happen to them? What was th

Your comment is hitting me pretty hard. I don't want my last thoughts to be related to what I was doing at work.

Amazon has the second-highest turnover of all the Fortune 500 companies [1]. That data combined with conversations I've had with several Amazon developers makes me wary of Amazon's long-term prospects for retaining talent. More he

You're making a key assumption that a person is capable of evaluating the skill of a developer and the quality of the end-result. What if you have no background in software? If the lower-skill developer convinces you his work is better

I think the road infrastructure pales in comparison to the subway/rail system. The volume of people it moves is incredible. Also remember that it's all built in an earthquake-prone area!

Don't forget that burning coal releases more radioactivity into the environment than nuclear power (because of trace amounts of uranium).

People are keeping a close eye on the addresses holding all of those bitcoins. I wonder how he'll avoid being detected when trying to withdraw them.

By then we'll have a new generation of cryptocurrency. I hope it will be called Qubitcoin. :)

I suspect it's because "Delivered a new UI experience for Gmail" sounds great at review time. People get rewarded for delivering features and a new UI for an existing product is relatively easy vs. trying to create a solution

The current business models of transportation startups like Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and Car2Go are merely a stepping stone to something much greater. It's only a matter of time before self-driving car technology is developed enough to be d

It was a win-win situation. Shut down the service, or get a backdoor into the emails of people who are explicitly trying to keep their communication private. Had lavabit capitulated, we wouldn't know about it.

Could this be used to increase athletic performance? Also, I'm wondering if there would be any negative effects from radically increasing the amount of oxygen your blood can hold. On the other hand, it would be like a superpower. I can

How can I as a developer be sure my unit tests are complete? How can we develop or improve that ability to think "what could go wrong?" I don't think they developers of Android, iOS, or the PS3 (and many others) were using in

Fully automated, mass production of synthetic beef would be an amazing feat and would definitely change nutrition for millions, if not billions of people. That being said, I don't think we'll be there in less than 50 years. In the

I honestly don't see why this is a bad thing. Would you prefer the automated emails? If you were on the other side of the equation, how would you deal with trying to get real feedback about your product? To me, it's fair to thing

Isn't it noble in a bizarre sort of way? It sounds like the manager is really looking out for his team. Or maybe he used to refuse to "play the game" until he had to fire a good employee.

Could you provide some details on how you set that up? It sounds interesting!

If you're thinking/talking about the ad campaign, it wasn't unsuccessful. The unsuccessful ones are forgotten.
