I understand the why, but ICO regulation is shifting the power of crypto from anyone (low-, middle-, upper-class) into upper-class only. For example, the Filecoin ICO for U.S. participants was restricted to accredited investors, which requi

I also noted that it asked for the last 6 digits of your social. Could be they need more digits to avoid duplicates, but I've never heard anyone ask for 6 digits. Usually it's just the 4. Honestly, they should have used a subdomai

Depends on what you're building, of course, but seriously consider if what you're building is an MVP or not. My most successful side-project has been the one where I didn't start out by using design patterns or TDD or fancy f

How soon until private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin begin taking "Astronaut" applications on their own careers page?

At work, we've been using a new JS framework paired with server-less infrastructure for the past 9 months. It's barely production stable, so it's been painful, but hey look at our fancy new framework. When I started a new sid

It probably won't be as big of a concern going forward as self-driving cars become the norm. For non-self-driving, I agree with you.

Our team has been using Aurelia for many months. While it has some cool features, there are plenty of gotchas that add a lot of overhead. Weeks spent on features that had to be reworked due to edge cases in DI, for example, or relying on so

Having watched a good number of Elon Musk interviews, I wish more interviewers would ask more direct questions. Asking Elon general questions usually results in fairly similar responses to what you have heard before or read in his biography

I guess it's OK to throttle for going over data if they speed throttle all internet traffic equally?

I have an extension that provides an always updated list in a niche, and the list items (with detailed info) are directed towards a website of mine with ads. I don't ask for any obtrusive permissions, and I make cents every day! lol

I have a personal, but less extreme, example of why it can be beneficial to keep an eye open. A service my company started using had an easy-to-find gap in authentication, where they were only checking to see if you were logged in, but they

I've watched the SpaceX launches with my 4-year-old and 2-year-old. Exciting for me, but they really get into it as well. Indoctrination at it's finest. I was born in the 80s and missed the moon race, so it's nice to have thi

Lambda is great. Few friends and I just put up what we call LDAN (Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurelia, and Node) aka Lieutenant Dan. Pretty cool refreshing change that is in stark contrast to our larger EC2+MongoDB stack. http://ldan.io&#x

I don't think astronauts would land on the droneship, as that's just for the first stage. When the Crew Dragon lands, it would be coming in from orbit, so I imagine they would just target the landing platform at the Cape as part o

I went through the interview process, and it went really well. I got the tour, met some interesting people, had a solid interview, but I didn't get an offer. I like to think I didn't get an offer because I asked about work-life ba

Mongo used to not support authentication, so it's probably an old version coupled with a public IP or elastic IP.

As CubeSats and FemtoSats are picking up support, we need LEO trash collectors even moreso.

Just reserved mine. Of course, I double checked the terms to make sure it was refundable, but I'm ready for it to change the game.

I believe it was This American Life, as I came here to write the same post you did. I had my iPhone mounted to an external speaker at the time, which triggered Siri, so we're probably referring to the same episode.

You should ask SpaceX if you can print their retro space tourism posters from last year as well. You know... where these NASA artists probably got the idea from :) http://gizmodo.com/spacex-just-dropped-these-amazing-retro-m

SpaceX had "throwback" posters in early 2015, and it feels like NASA designers were inspired by those to do the same. http://www.theverge.com/tldr/2015/5/15/8613099/spacex-made-s...
