The fact that they have a the market position and capital to buy up human resources and waste them simply to keep competitors from being able to develop products goes to show that they are abusing their monopoly positions. Wouldn't it

Google/FB stock is in no way illiquid.

I wonder how much of this is due to non-voting shares being sold to the public that prevent an activist investor from being able to push the board to trim the fat?

No, that's what living in a bubble feels like.

It's a problem for people looking for long term rentals as landlords can make more profit by listing a unit on AirBnB.

False. The blockchain is the DTCC. Coinbase is the exchange.

by hendzen 9y ago
Yes we expect Coinbase to support them all. Public companies have complicated stock actions like spinoffs (i.e. "Forking" the company), rights offerings, scrip offerings, stock dividends, etc. Do you think ETrade gets to not give

Now to see if the next big startup to IPO (AirBnB, Uber, etc) learns their lesson about issuing these bullshit shares to the public. $SPY alone is a significant chunk of total equities ADV - and there are other SP500 ETFs that hold signific

This is completely wrong - not how ETFs work at all. If you have a large block of SPY you can redeem it for the index constituents. If you have a large block of the index constituents, you can redeem it for SPY. When the SPY price rises abo

The killer feature is having the same UTXO history as legacy Bitcoin. That is a genius way of on-boarding a huge array of users without having to worry about a premine/crowdsale considering those are ridiculously overcrowded at the mom

by hendzen 9y ago
Yeah, if the fees are lower and the network is less congested I wonder if legacy Bitcoin could get overtaken for small transactions?

by hendzen 9y ago
This is huge. There are a huge amount of capital inflows from indexers from being part of the SP500. This will be a strong disencentive to future IPO candidates for issuing shares with reduced voting rights.

The government can legislate the pipes. It's possible to DOS strong encryption at the ISP level. Look at China...

You guys are offering free phone support? For a FOSS product. That is pretty cool. Also I would really recommend putting some of the screenshots on the Github readme page. See bottom - https://www.workflowproducts.com/postag

I agree that it is a better compiler, but have heard mixed results on whether it produces faster code. Do you have a citation?

Guys it's not OK to just hijack open source projects. You need to make (or fork) new plugins specifically for kite, not hire a bunch of developers of popular autocomplete plugins and have them shadily change their plugin to use Kite as

It's a hyperponzi. A ponzi combinator. As much as I find the actual technical details of blockchain technology interesting (it's basically nerd crack) - the severe lack of utility to general society and the constant price bubbles

They are also getting paid in Schrute bucks. These ICO raises need to be huge since selling X00m of ETH or BTC moves the price... its absolute madness.

I do, in fact, know a Bitcoin is divisible. That however, is irrelevant to its lack of utility as a unit of exchange. In particular, if Bitcoin is "going to the moon" - i.e. expected to always increase in purchasing power superlin

Peter, You just cherry picked one (minor) point from each article, and then used an argument against those points to claim that both articles are incorrect in full . I think that is a dishonest form of argument. Furthermore, it's wort

The fixed supply doesn't really make sense if you want BTC to function as a unit of exchange (rather than a commodity). I won't go in to the reasons why since they have been elaborated on by many other people. However, the fixed s

Well, Alex Morcos (one of the Bitcoin Core developers), is a founder of Hudson River Trading - a HFT firm responsible for 5% of US equities volume [0]. So... I'd say Bitcoin Core has some economic expertise available if they need it. [

So lets say they extend Reg NMS to require sending the order to the NMS exchange with the shortest queue at the BBO? I can imagine some potential ways that could be gamed as well...

I would potentially consider per-domain pricing. $5 dollar/month/domain for under 100 domains, $2.5 dollar/month/domain for under 1000 domains, and if people want to use more than 1000 domains they should contact you and

Why is QE corrupt? And bank bailouts, while politically unpopular turned out to be profitable for the government. In contrast, bitcoin exchanges have a high rate of getting hacked and losing all customers money. There is no protections agai

Caveat, McClure's behavior was bad. But seeing recent public floggings for misbehavior I now wonder if people are feeling a bit hypersensitive/cautious about any workplace conduct that could potentially be perceived as harassment.
