On projects I alone maintain I prefer to only unit test the primary API. That usually gives me the information I need to triangulate issues and I move too slowly otherwise.

I don't think it's fair to call out unions/government without calling out large capital investors as well. We wouldn't have suburbs or massive shopping malls without huge real estate investors pumping money into major de

The bubble pop will come when banks say they refuse to use any public cryptocurrency. If that happens (if, not when) then the hype will disappear rapidly and the market will continue growing organically. If it doesn't, then cryptocurre

I've never come across a geocoder better or cheaper than Google, unfortunately. They all claim accuracy but fail in trivial cases, or interpolate to the wrong part of the street where Google is spot on (though Google has its occasional

There's a really cool ecosystem of decentralized systems starting to find real-world use cases on the other side of the bitcoin divide. Bitcoin is just the figurehead.

Long-term it is hard to justify a conclusion that cryptocurrencies will fail as a technology. It's too big of a leap forward in too many industries. Short term, bitcoin might move too slowly and be surpassed by a competitor, or big mon

We need to give up on the idea of bitcoin being used as money. It wasn't designed in a way that would encourage holder to spend it like money until a stable valuation is found when everyone in the world is holding it. As Yellen said, i

Having read a thousand rabid forum posts over the last week, I get the feeling people will hold for decades regardless of short term changes or regulation. They think there is unlimited upside as it eats into gold and fiat, so it's onl
