I find a lot of the preconceptions on Japan seem to carry over from perceptions of their economic and industrial prowess from the 80s and 90s and consumer electronics and mobile technology dominance in the 90s-00s. Things have changed a lot

GDAX has withdrawal limits of up to $25M/day, however if you're liquidating that much at once, you're better off OTC. GDAX USD accounts are only FDIC insured up to the standard $250K.

This is dead easy to check and absolutely not true. BTC/USD 24hr volume on GDAX alone is $147M and you can liquidate $1M of BTC on GDAX right this second w/ less than 0.1% slippage. Why would you even post something (or hold an

@guildenstern's response covers it a bit, but a bit more on why this is so important. While the nominal market cap of the cryptocurrency sector is somewhere between $500-600B these days, this is based on an estimated $10-20B of capital

I guess my question was more specifically can these be used together for even better accuracy? e.g. if standard RTK on L1 is 1-3cm accurate, and L1/L5 is 30cm accurate, will using two of these new L1/L5 chips in an RTK configurati

If this is your main reasoning argument for Litecoin, then I have bad news for you, as you're completely wrong. Litecoin's PoW algorithm uses Scrypt and is second only to Bitcoin's SHA256 as far as ASIC-based mining goes. Thi

If anyone works in the field, I'd be interested in how this dual signal (L1/L5) chip interacts with the RTK/CPGPS [1] (which improves accuracy down to 1-3cm already (at the cost of using multiple GPS units)). RTK is commonly

The AMD Ryzen R7 1700 is a $320 8 core/16 thread processor. Intel's cheapest 8 core/16 thread processor is their i7-6900K which sells for $1049. Even their 6/12 i7-6850K is over $600. IMO the Ryzen R7's have been a

Payment channels, besides being alpha/never used in production, are also dependent on a transaction malleability fix. Since SegWit was rolled into this soft-fork disaster, I'm pretty confident in saying it will never reach 95% and

One thing that this and many other analyses seem to fail to distinguish when comparing MBPs is that the 13" and 15" models are two very distinct lines. The 13" are basically an ultraportable, with 15W "U" processors
