I don't know if you can call a slight reduction in an unimaginably massive fortune "impoverishment". Putin could lose tens of billions of dollars and still not be able to see poverty with a telescope.

This was the early 2000s, at a very small startup funded privately by a non-technical guy, and most of the technical staff was under 25. It's a big world, and best practices are not universal.

Our sysadmin was being paranoid about how many memory-resident programs we ran. he figured time syncing wasn't important enough to justify a daemon, so he just ran the ntpdate command on a daily schedule. It wasn't that bad -

Ha. I had an intern who wrote code that blew up if the timestamp of our DB server was ever >= 1 second after the timestamp of our app server. It couldn't fail at his desk, because he ran both servers locally while developing. An

Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor from The Office) is a famous diversity hire. It's not a theory; their show used a diversity hiring program through NBC, where if you hire a white person, it comes out of your show's budget; but if you h

Good thing nobody is really advocating for disbanding all police departments. The "Defund the police" movement just picked a catchy and attention-getting name (and boy did they ever succeed at that), but even those "extremis

Okay, then that vacuous point is correct as well. A bank account is just a 9-ish digit number. So in that regard it's similar to a bitcoin wallet. What the person who started this convo was saying is that his friend thought the bit

With cash, if you put a fortune in your shoebox it is "IN" your shoebox. The whole point of bitcoin is the distributed nature. Your wallet can be copied without altering any actual holdings or values, whereas a shoebox cannot. A
