Employees at major exchanges can trade on insider information about whether a major exchange will support a new coin. Employees at token-funded companies can insider trade on that same information. There's already some evidence these s

Users don't move to a fork, the supporting institutions do (miners, exchanges, wallet developers). In essence we're back to square one. Our future is being decided by a few, centralized entities with majority control over the syst

It seems like you're responding to a different argument u/danudey isn't making. Their point seems more about people getting too caught up in "disruption for disruption's sake". To a certain degree, watching the

It sounds like you're talking about a more binary approach to categorizing wealth. It either "is paper" or "is realized". To me, not all paper is created equal. I see assets representing wealth as a spectrum. There

Everything I mentioned in my comment is why it's less than other intangible assets. Not all intangible assets should be valued equally at their same level of converted fiat. The riskiness of an asset in particular is an important facto

Dollars, Euros, and stocks are all forms of highly liquid wealth which are generally trusted and can easily be exchanged for goods and services. They've all been around for many years and are backed by trusted entities. In comparison t

This seems unnecessarily callous. The writer was incredibly insulting to a person in a public forum, but that's ok because "well they worked for Uber"? I don't see this discussion as about whether a corporate PR team is

I think the larger point being made here is how does blockchain add substantial value for all parties in digital trading cards? What motivates the creator of the cards to do so when they give up so much control?

Having looked into doing a very similar migration, I generally agree with you. There are performance, control, and speed gains on the back end to be sure. It's replicating the flexible, intuitive UI where the cost argument always break

Yes. I've tried Sphinx implementations twice over the past few years. Google Cloud Speech and Nuance blew it out of the water. It partially depends on dictionary size and the need for continuous recognition, but generally speaking ther

From my experience, this is more dependent on the team/process than Excel. I've worked in investments for several years and auditing Excel sheets was a core, well-run process at several companies I worked for. It was quite easy fo

I didn't downvote, but suspect some of them are because you offered an unlikely or minor reason behind the superlatives. Also, I'm unsure of your exposure to Japanese, but superlatives are used frequently in daily conversation. &q

Though I didn't flag it myself, this is just bad writing. The post is so over-the-top inflammatory I can't take anything seriously. That's what people are likely reacting to.

Thanks, very helpful perspective. Once a paper is reviewed and approved, are there any rights around being able to present that paper at a conference? I'm trying to understand what kind of legal transformation takes place one a paper o

I can't help but wonder if this is a well-disguised PR piece from Arista. While the feud itself seems likely, the whole article, down to the details, is heavily reliant on David vs. Goliath themes to paint Arista and Ms. Ullal in a pos
