Every major blockchain is working on scalability (sharding, offchain transactions, and various other solutions are in the works) So ideally there will be more traffic but less congestion

Mine didn't have a password (only worth a few $) but yeah that sucks I was able to just save the wallet (as a .dat I believe) and then inspect it with a text editor. The contents were my private key and the date the wallet was created.

What is the problem with Multibit? Just recovered a 2013 wallet a few days ago. Got a password on it or something?

Yeah I was shocked to read a different article that appeared to blame Google for their action. Seems like Amazon asked for this one. I was just thinking the other day how weird it is they don't sell Apple TV.

They have around 12,000 employees according to Wikipedia (and a few other sources show a similar figure). If we figure the average employee is 250,000/year in liabilities on the balance sheet (salary + benefits + options/RSUs) the

How does anyone trust their employees won’t go rogue? If they are under NDA and are longtime employees with high ratings then there is usually no reason to think they are trying to “go rogue” by stealing some usually very boring but private

This is why Crowdflower has the option to only show data to people who have signed a non-disclosure agreement. You don't just show private data to everyone on the Internet...

I agree with SomeStupidPoint that at the current speeds it blows away both ACH and wire transfers if you need the transfer to happen pretty quickly but don't want to pay usurious fees. Every major blockchain is trying to shard or find

Well there is a cap on how much will exist so with even a small amount of additional demand for it each year it should continue to go up in value. Thats not to say the value can't go up so much that it would take approximately forever

I would have followed up with that concern.

Airbnb is not explicitly hiding in a gray area. Airbnb TOS forbids the use of undisclosed cameras and those in private areas. It’s like at a hotel that prohibits smoking but people smoke in the rooms anyway. The hotel doesn’t “hide in a gra

You made a good point. I’ll happily concede he worked at Verizon for two years, although he did focus on regulatory issues so it’s still a major conflict of interest as likely a large shareholder. The tone of your responses is still quite n

You completely ignored the most relevant parts of my argument which were: 1. Pai seeks to increase competition in a monopolistic market by decreasing regulation of the monopolizing companies while failing to address the fundamental reasons

Interesting point but I still don't really agree. Just because one senator (without an opposed supermajority) could theoretically indefinitely delay a nomination to the FCC, it has never happened. Has it? In the example you gave, Grass

I did say it was a forced example ;) Even assuming you implemented it their way, their code isn't very concise. In the snippet you pasted, "self.method" could be replaced with "method" for example without changing a

It’s very similar to the question of whether it’s better for the government to provide healthcare or to get it from a private for-profit megacorp with an army of lobbyists. The government is by no means perfect, but at least their incentive

No actually very few of my reasons for pointing out his lack of integrity have to do with simple disagreement on policy. I would try not to label people as narrow minded based on one short comment on the Internet. This community normally do

Wait what? I specifically said I could find only one example which was under Trump and the nominee was ultimately accepted. I also quoted Schumer and the Democrats saying this was without precedent. I’m really not sure what you’re getting a

There are reasons why he is demonized. He has dramatically cut access to the Internet for poor people through the lifeline program despite numerous speeches where he has purported to champion access for those users. He uses his chairmanship

Can you provide a list of a few FCC candidates who were withdrawn or otherwise not accepted? The only one I can find is from this year and Trump withdrew her nomination only to later confirm her (presumably once he’d filled the third Republ

As far as the Obama appointment, let me be a bit more specific. It has been customary for a looong time for the majority party to allow the minority party to appoint two members of the FCC. In fact, legally the majority party can only have

Many of the popular web frameworks like Django and Elixir have a lot in common with Rails with regards to typing and compilation or lack thereof. Function composition and partial function application is totally supported in Ruby so not sure

Maybe this says something about the article writers? Most Rails applications I see have minimal monkeypatching and I can’t remember the last time I had to debug an issue related to one. On the contrary, monkeypatching is most often used to

Agreed. See my comment next to yours also. The minority party appoints 2/5 of the FCC so Obama was just appointing Mitch McConnell’s pick (but being Obama he gets all the blame for it!)

I agree with gbrown. Pai’s statements are so untruthful and nonsensical that I can’t figure out why he thinks it could help even after reading many comments by him. His most clear argument is that it will somehow increase investments into I
