All speculation is risk. BTC is in no special category in that regard. But keep saving us from ourselves if you wish.

You have a degree relevant to every conversation, apparently. You are in love with the 'appeal to authority' fallacy. So, whatever. Arguing about what BTC is or isn't seems like a tremendous waste of time, does it not? No

You either fail to understand how BTC actually works, or you are purposely disingenuous for the sake of argument.

by lsadam0 10y ago
You fail to understand that you just made up the price of 500,000. No one will invest. BTC, however, has reached the current USD value by natural market forces. You don't get to just make up prices, and neither does BTC.

That's a very good point. I'm only speaking from the view of my experience, and my responsibilities and concerns are different than your example. I suppose my initial skepticism of the article is grounded in that we do all we ha

There were a few hundred applications to sort through for the position. Applicants all received the same test. The initial response is used to filter the pool and decide with whom to speak with further. Only with a filtered applicant poo

I believe we are misunderstanding each other, as you are making some assumptions. We do spend time training junior developers. We are hands on during work. I'm talking about one problem at the start of the process. In the example, I

I was never addressing a post you made. We're not having the same conversation.

So they're not very good car washes.

You fail to understand that this issue is not binary. It is not required to be either fully supportive or fully against safe spaces. Safe spaces can be valuable. The original article, OP, and myself are showing a concern at the usage of

If I take a car to an establishment labelling themselves as a 'Car Wash', and their washing method consists of flinging mud all over the car....said establishment isn't a very good car wash, is it?

Because the point of college is to challenge your ideas and beliefs, not shelter and reinforce.

That's literally the opening line of the response. You conveniently ignored the meat of a well constructed point in an attempt to quickly show that OP agrees with you. OP has correctly exemplified the idea of 'safe spaces' b

It's factually incorrect to say that transactions are untraceable. Every single transaction is logged on a public ledger. The only difficulty lies in establishing that a particular address belongs to a particular entity. KYC/AM

> by design, untraceable This is simply incorrect. I fail to understand why so many people believe bitcoin transactions are untraceable, we are talking about a public ledger. I understand the gap between how supporters and non-supporte

If I sell a good or service to a resident of China, in CHY, and then convert CHY to USD....the CHY has failed? I don't understand the need to require a business to hold the bitcoin in order to consider bitcoin a "success". I

The previous commenter asserted that there are deep security flaws within bitcoin itself. There are not. An exchange disappearing with user's BTC is not reflective of flaws within bitcoin. Users deposited fiat as well as BTC. When

That would not change my stance.

If I leave cash on the street should I expect it to be safe? Is that a deep security issue? You implied there were deep fundamental flaws in BTC security, but your response shows nothing of the sort. Your 'deep flaw' is 'yo

Deep security issues? Like what?
142.
by lsadam0 10y ago
Ok, so? Bitcoin is an accepted payment method. Why should you care how exactly they handle processing of it? The only measure of success here is how much people do or do not use it. Are you honestly trying to argue against their accepta

Honestly, why do you care what Valve does with the BTC? If people want to use it, so be it. The backend isn't your concern.

I respect the skepticism. I do not subscribe to the 'UFOs are aliens' idea myself. Though in this case I believe the OP did see what he claims. There's a longstanding rumor that some branch of the armed forces is in posses

A "stealth blimp" has been sighted numerous times for at least 20 years now. It is said to be very large, just as you describe. The assumption is that it's an observational aircraft of some sort.

Kinda sounds like the long rumored TR-3B ( http://www.darkgovernment.com/news/tr-3b/ ). I love UFO mythology, and that around the TR-3B is wild, to say the least.

Apologies, there's some confusion here. I was attempting to direct my reply to Graycat, and not you. Throughout the thread Graycat has been singing the praises of VB.Net while dismissing most other languages and styles. It's a c

I'm not seeing your point. Your posts I have read thus far are arguing for a specific programming style....but you dismiss all other programming styles. Your style is just another 'paris designer dress'. Objectively, certai

Many people have asserted this, but it's not true. As long as ReSharper is active it does have a performance impact. The impact varies depending on the current action, and yes opening a new project does have the largest impact. Hones
