Really interesting. I've always been a squatter for no apparent reason (white, raised by middle class republicans in california). I often sit semi-squatted at my computer; basically my feet on the seat and thighs against my chest. I&

This is a tangent; but I had a 'pwned' password that I've used for years on steam that started getting hacked like 4-5x a week; I would just ignore the 2 factor attempts for several months. I finally changed the password to

Nothing has that value if you look at a long enough time span. Gold, a traditional store of value, gained >100% and then lost >50% in the course of a decade. Obviously this is not even noise compared to bitcoin; but my point is that

I have never understood what stops POS algorithms from being havens for opportunistic cheating. There is no punishment for spending energy on attacking the network unsuccessfully because you are still also playing good with the majority. I

We give coding challenges to our intern applicants, and most fail. We give different challenges and expect different levels of competency for a senior role. Code challenges at least have the capability of being very useful. We try and pre

As a follow up, isn't all this DRM for naught? If you send the video and the audio to my computer, I can record it after it's decrypted. What problem does this really solve? I already use netflix/amazon because it's mo

Yes they are different. They are also WILDLY different value propositions. Crash prevention is nice, just getting safer and safer is nice--though I personally wouldn't stop driving ~$5k cars for even "really good" crash pro

Well, if you know it will go down, you shouldn't invest. In general for IRA stuff the sooner the better though.

Anyone know how to / where to get an idea of hashrate distribution? It seems it can really only be estimated by the number of blocks that come out; which means (if I understand correctly) it could be days before the next BCC block if
