You are correct. However, Coinbase does state that they simply store the funds: "Customer deposits are not sent anywhere. Unlike other financial institutions, we do not lend out customer funds. 100% of your funds are securely stored.&q

That's certainly a possibility. I was working from the assumption that Coinbase actually held BTC totaling the sum of all users account balances. Given the highly volatile nature of BTC and the nature of the BTC community (e.g. the con

I'm aware of this, but they should still have enough BTC in storage to cover the BTC in all accounts. This means they should also have BCC for each user.

> Of course if your BTC is not real, but is held by an exchange such as Coinbase, how you get your BCC isn't at all clear. Your BTC should still be "real", but the exchange holds the keys instead of you. Your point stands

They are most certainly still holding them. They would actually have to take intentional steps to burn them, and that would be silly to do as they'd literally be throwing away money. It seems that there is an assumption from Coinbase t

That shouldn't be the case. BTC purchased after the fork has no relationship to BCC. Bitcoin transactions included before block 478559 are both valid BTC and BCC transactions. Anything after that is only valid as one or the other depen

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred b

These aren't limitations imposed by The LEGO Group. They include a box of parts with instructions to build a model, but that doesn't stop anyone from building other things. There are a few sites around where LEGO fans post alterna

That's very helpful. Thanks! I was assuming that at minimum I'd need to do a lot of filtering in order to get the camera images and renders into a state where they are similar enough to work for training. Any chance that you'

That's a little alarmist. Apple at least appears to take iOS security seriously, so if there was a known flaw that was actively being used to extract data in the wild it would get patched very quickly. Why do assert that Android phones

I've always felt that those options were mostly there as a stopgap while you migrate to a larger instance or figure out another plan. I don't think they want most users adding features a la carte as that would throw off their numb

I'm not convinced that bandwidth is the main issue. The fact that we interact with supercomputers over SSH today rather than a live video stream like we could in terms of bandwidth hints at the larger problem. We really struggle to get

SQLite is frequently cited for having incredible robustness, and this is certainly related to incredible test coverage. Many of the stats on that page are impressive, but the one that always gets me is that for 122 thousand lines of product

It all depends how you define money. The reward halving seems to be correlated with a price spike in the Bitcoin exchange rate, so although fewer Bitcoins are being mined per block, their total value is actually about the same today as it w

I just wanted to point out that while this was true in the past, a number of the lower volume Lego parts (minifigs, animals, etc) are actually now manufactured in China.

Just to add some details on your parts from the 60s, Lego began switching from Cellulose Acetate to ABS plastic in 1963 and the switch was complete by 1966, so your estimation of part quality during that period seems to be spot on.

This looks really nice, but the games runs too fast on my machine. It's probably close to 1.5x speed vs the original game.

It seems like the unification of hardware and software (as Apple has done) is where a lot of real value lies. I'd love to see more startups selling innovative hardware/software products.

I see your point and I agree that big companies will probably want an offering which provides some content control, but I don't think that flash (or anything else) does or can do a good job at this. It's hard to have open standards for DRM
