This isn’t predicted by classical economics. This is the result of the housing supply being artificially constrained by zoning laws. If developers could build a 40-story high rise next to a single family home, housing would be dirt cheap. O

You can't modify smart contract code once it's been deployed, period. Ether that's locked up in bugged out contracts is permanently lost. This post describes a strategy for writing contracts that proxies the actual implementa

I know that was probably the intent, but the senator sounded genuinely confused. It didn't sound like a deposition-style question.

It's a really odd line of questioning from people who don't seem to understand the subject matter. This gem made me laugh out loud: Senator: How do you sustain a business model in which users don't pay for your service?

What neighborhood do you live in? I live in Uptown with my wife. We don’t have any kids yet but I don’t think I would want my kids to go to school around here. Uptown is sketchy and people seem to get murdered here on a regular basis. I wou

There are plenty of legitimate scams in the cryptocurrency world, but the games we're referring to (PonziCoin, PoWH3D, CryptoCelebrities, CryptoKitties, etc.) are very transparent about the fact that they are zero-sum games where you h

You really can't imagine any scenario in which this information could be used for blackmail?

I know this is a joke, but there are numerous real life Ponzi and pyramid schemes based on Ethereum smart contracts. PonziCoin, PoWH3D, and EthPhoenix transparently advertise themselves as Ponzi/pyramid schemes. There's also a who

Bitcoin is still deflationary, which makes it unusable as money. Inflationary currencies like USD incentivize people to spend and invest. Deflationary currencies incentivize people to hoard.

Most people don't have even a basic understanding of economics or the incentives that drive markets. They equate development with gentrification and displacement. They don't realize that by opposing development they're actual

How is that not two-way binding? The Vue documentation even calls it two-way binding: “You can use the v-model directive to create two-way data bindings on form input and textarea elements.” https://vuejs.org/v2/guide&#

The virtual DOM automatically updates the real DOM for you, in a way that only touches the parts that have actually changed. Think of it like a diff. This allows developers to focus on the business logic and presentation of their apps witho

v-model is a two-way binding. In other words, you don’t have to write a setter function for every piece of state - you can hook up a state field directly to a text input, for example. React doesn’t allow two-way binding, or at least heavily

I also made a couple DAPPs recently, the first using Vue (which I have very little experience in) and the second in Elm (which I have years of experience with and have used in production). I never thought I’d say this, but I was a lot more

The ability to have nearly anything I want shipped to me with 2 days for a flat annual rate is absolutely devastating. I don’t know how I don’t know how I manage to function when a BIG, EVIL corporation is manipulating me into buying stuff

I don’t get it either. I’ve been a developer in Chicago for 6+ years and have always worked from 9 - 5, aside from the times I did some contracting and was paid to work overtime. Most developers I’ve worked with came in to the office around

I've heard that taking that approach comes with a lot of a rules on how you can use your money. For example, if you make a profit from rent, you can't take it out in cash (it has to be reinvested into the business). Also, if you w

The difference between Facebook and an ISP is that ISPs are, for all intents and purposes, a natural monopoly. There is an enormous cost associated with laying cable and negotiating the rights-of-way with the thousands of affected parcels

Honest question: why is it a problem that Facebook has personal data and uses it in their advertising platform? No one is forced to give their data to Facebook. It's not a public utility. It's an entertainment site, first and fore
