> Alt-Coins don't have astronomic price increases The really big multipliers have been in so called alt-coins for years. This statement is flat out wrong.

A lot of these are only faster to transact because they have nowhere near the volume of transactions that BTC has. BTC is also much more widely accepted and understood.

Ripple is a pre mined token that has central control. It's not really comparable to Bitcoin.

I think if you just naively did that, you would risk the funds being spent twice if both transactions are included in the block (unlikely, but possible). There is an implementation of essentially the same concept that you are describing cal

Most wallets allow you get out of this situation with a clever feature. What you do is raise the insufficient fee after the fact by issuing a new transaction that is dependent on the first one, and adding a large enough fee to the second on

Yes. They are waiting to be picked up by a miner, based on the fee that the transaction has paid to be included in the blockchain. You can still make a quick (by BTC standards) transaction in these scenarios, it's just more expensive t

Exchanges (where trades like the one you describe happen) operate outside of the blockchain. You only transact with them on the blockchain when depositing or withdrawing money from the exchange.

Can you point to a specific ICO where the token contract allows for additional token issuance? The ERC20 reference code does not include functionality for this, nor for replacing the token code at a later date.

The usual 7% long term figure for the S&P500 includes crashes and inflation in that number. You don't crash at 30% and then grow back at 7%. You grow at 7% on average at all times. The only difference is volatility. If you need to

I don't get it. Coinbase is more costly than using the underlying exchange directly. Is that unexpected? It's a convenience service. There are costs to this convenience. The $2 "fee" looks like a 4% credit card payment p

It's an American cultural phenomenon. I've always been intrigued by the origin of it. At some point someone even invented and sold a device to prevent the person in front of you to recline their seat: https://en.wikiped

No. I mean, recruiting is strategic everywhere, sure, but Google pioneered the Disneyland-style offices and perks since its early days. They always used their own software for recruiting as opposed to buying something off the shelf (of thos

I honestly don't see how. E-mail is a technical problem. Replacing Outlook with GMail is doable. Recruiting is a complex business process. Enterprise recruiting has significant regulatory hurdles as well as business specific requiremen

I don't see this competing with enterprise ATS providers. It's an SMB product meant for GSuite customers.

I would argue that recruiting is and has always been a strategic issue at Google.

Yes, but that's hardly practical. I guess someone will make software for this (with the corresponding caveats, bugs, security and trust issues, etc).

Best thing about Hangouts: it was rock solid and bulletproof at first, despite the clunky UI (and weird plugin system). Somewhere along the road, they removed all the crap UI, and in the process: - it became more unreliable (F5 to get sound
