I believe I did mention this in the article, but I agree that it's vitally important to understand that the one or two times I used those terms I was knowingly using the popular definitions, not the clinical definitions. Good catch!

Exactly. We can all find the patterns of personality disorders in ourselves, but diagnostic criteria require WAY more than "you act this way" - your actions actually have to be severely detrimental. Personally I'd say that if your particula

I actually liked the original squid ending better, but that's another one of those personal opinions that some asshole guy always has to chime in with. There were definitely some good differences that made each a unique and worthwhile exper

Point taken. That last bit was just my personal opinion - I'd rather enjoy the suspension of disbelief than analyze every action in-depth, but that's just me. If this article gave you greater enjoyment of the movie then that makes me a very

Funny that the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" isn't considered a "Diagnostic Manual" given that a) those words are in the title and b) it's commonly and constantly used by professionals as a manual for diagnosis. It

I don't have data going back that far. My earliest data I have on-hand goes back to 1997 at which point about 2% of the world (11% in the developed world) had internet access. I do have host count data, though and can tell you that in Aug

"Which brings us full-circle back to my original point." It still doesn't make your claim correct. Your claim that Bitcoin can't achieve widespread adoption because of the complexity of mining doesn't even make sense. Not every user has to

1% was a completely arbitrary example, it wasn't meant to set a goal or anything. I was just illustrating the point that Bitcoin isn't ONLY good if you convert it to USD/EUR/whatever, it's just not adopted as widely as those currencies.

Exactly. The integrity of the chain is kept not by including every transaction since the dawn of time in each block, but by simply including the hash of the previous block. This simultaneously shows where in the chain each block belongs and

by enmaku 14y ago
Each block validates the block behind it, so if you've got 0 confirmations it means your transaction hasn't made it into a block yet. If you've got 1 confirmation it means your transaction is in the most recent block. If you've got 2 transa

Bitcoin replaces that layer. I've personally transacted business in Bitcoin without converting it back to traditional currencies and it works pretty damn well, actually. At the moment the primary reason Bitcoin "needs" to be converted back

Exactly. For the statisticians in the room, it's a Poisson process. That means that over time your results should average out to meet certain expectations but each individual hash either solves the problem completely or doesn't solve it at

More to the point, they won't actually have to cash out until they're ready to make a purchase with their proceeds. This means more money kept in Bitcoin for longer instead of being cashed out to sit in a USD/EUR/GBP bank account somewhere.
