Multi-sig transactions are larger, and fees are based on tx size.

Actually, they're based on tx size. Fees are estimates as satoshis/byte. 10-20 satoshis is incredibly cheap

Most wallets estimate fees based on transaction size, so this did require a particular wallet or using an "advanced setting"
454.
by mhluongo 9y ago
Someone set a custom fee or built a transaction manually and made a mistake. Alternatively, someone just learned an expensive programming lesson.

Glad to see you in the comments Austin. Would love to hear your thoughts on cranking up growth on a project of ours!

Usually this sort of work falls under U/X or "product design"- software design often means architecture. I get the sentiment, but specialization exists for a reason, and this sort of thinking could work just as well for a ret

I'm not claiming he's right. I'm just responding that it's a useful idea, and that the language makes sense to reinforce the idea. Edit: aside, it's interesting (and frustrating) that comments on HN are often assume

Did he come up with "paid, laid, or made"? I've heard it from sales people and thought it predated McClure. The kitten and "money shot" is absolutely unnecessary, but I get the coarse language for "paid, made,

Entrepreneurs aren't protected the same way employees are, FWIW

Not sure I agree- because investors aren't in the same category as employers, it's harder for a founder to get any sort of justice for discrimination or harassment. AFAIK, the bar for a lawsuit is much higher. Also, most of these

Can't we do both? Uber is especially bad and this is a systemic issue.

by mhluongo 9y ago
Clearly if you get to choose, choose to IPO :). I think the idea here is that many founders would be better taking $5-20M acquisitions along the way than shooting for the moon- shooting for the moon is better for investors, as they have a p

I prefer to think of it as "I'm really looking forward to an Internet that can survive without constantly nagging me for a subscription or running third-party ad code on my computer"
464.
by mhluongo 9y ago
No, my "systematically" meant "by design, throughout the system". Also, I definitely didn't say "meh", act particularly elitist, say anything about the system vs "your success", or try to make ex

Fair enough, maybe I should've said it reduced variance? Good for power-law investments, trending toward zero for house-edge blackjack.

Agreed much of our drug policy and criminal system systematically keeps down black people. Not sure that one comment skipping a discussion of race implies all of HN is biased, though
467.

Clearly the expected value should be higher investing. You don't win blackjack by playing more games, but you can improve returns by spreading out your investments.

Do you mean POST? Also, these days, I think the blame is more likely lazy devs, poorly complying frameworks, or compromises to make things easier for some frontend library.

AFAIK that's not the definition of the rest of us are using for a distributed system. If anything, considering the fat client trend we're in, I'd go the other direction and claim a single web server backend with multiple clie

Times are fat right now, but remember not everyone has a YC pedigree, not everyone is West Coast, etc. EDIT: it was a little funny though :)

Not a great analogy. The threat of terrorism isn't on par with your country surviving constant air raids, and the benefit of shooting down a raiding plane is much more clear

The part where it can instead drop to $300, and you lose 70%, as happened after Gox :)

That's the point of the summary. The blog post had no substance.

Wrong thread, this is for people looking to be hired, not job postings.

Bad translation of parentheses, perhaps?

These days there are angels, super-angels, and early stage (seed) VCs. There's been investors been F&F and Series A for quite a while though.

by mhluongo 10y ago
Some of those definitions and semantics lead to different concrete terms. Eg are seed 2's priced rounds? Anecdotally it seems many still aren't, making them materially different from yesterday's series B

Whiteboarding in the design sense, or interview sense?

They can't be throttling based on user-agent... right? I thought this was the New Microsoft. Any other hypotheses?
