Securing and validating transactions is not a new concept, and JavaScript is not a new technology. What's new here is people with little experience handling billions of dollars in transactions, and their cavalier attitude towards other

Thanks. Yeah, part of the learning experience was figuring out local politics, and getting completely disgusted by it.

I just posted some details below. I think my main mistake was trying to be an accelerator as opposed to simple shared space for rent. We couldn't find a way to make it work financially, considering the amount of time and energy it was

We had a relatively small footprint: 4 offices (2..3 desks each), a conference room + projector, 10 dedicated desks, plus some shared space for up to 10 more people. I wanted to focus on tech startups, so we also had a small datacenter on p

Having worked in traditional offices, open offices, at home, at Starbucks, and at various coworking spaces - I still don't know how to feel about shared offices. I am using one right now on trial basis, and I can tell once or twice a w

If I am reading your chart correctly - the 1080 is also very inefficient at Ethash?

I think Ethereum is just one of the many cryptocurrencies that are being mined with GPUs right now - so if this rumor is true, I don't expect it to have the same impact that ASICs had on Bitcoin mining.

another "first" in computer history - it's now more expensive to build your own gaming or "machine learning" box from parts than to just buy a pre-made gaming computer.

NVIDIA may be publicly saying that, but I am sure they are absolutely thrilled with the way sales (and margins) have been growing. And it wasn't gaming, AI, or autonomous cars - it's mining. The gamer problem is exaggerated. While

Sensationalist title... but the article was a fun read nonetheless. For me, building mining rigs is a great way to teach my kids some DIY skills, electronics, thermodynamics, etc. I've basically been using these as space heaters throug

Last time they were shopping, there was a huge influx of fake users, almost as though all fraud detection checks were disabled. This time is different, or is it. Just how much of their new revenue is due to fake users, ad fraud, and automat

I remember downloading the source code in 2004, and promptly receiving a letter from my ISP stating that I should delete it immediately. I was impressed. btw, Microsoft's original reaction to the leak: https://news.microsoft

You are correct, that would be a risk for them (especially for FB) because of how big they've become. Anecdote: in 2014, I registered an account on Twitter called "tweetcoin". I felt social networks would start developing the

It's possible to tell the difference between genuine, authentic sharing, and automation. Rewarding the right behavior will make spam go away.

I was responding to the "reward users for sharing content ... and attention" part, just not as a social network. Those already have been established (one could argue YouTube is a good functional example of that), I don't anti

My initial comment wasn't clear. My point was - there are tens of thousands of open, unanswered cases there. But it's only a handful of distinct categories. Meaning cases can be programmatically categorized, and handled by Suppor

So far, the most effective way for a CB customer to obtain satisfaction has been calling out a CB employee on Reddit by name (who also happen to be active Reddit users) with a case number, at which point said employee personally looks at th

Unlike deep-learning tasks, datacenter-grade (Tesla) GPUs don't have an advantage in mining over much cheaper consumer GPUs. As an example, a cloud-based server with dual Tesla P100 would get you 120..125 MH/s on ETH, and would c

Bursty workloads is key here. In your opinion, what's the main challenge with existing hourly options (like Amazon's Elastic GPUs, or similar offerings from Google Cloud) - is it the management/provisioning? So, if someone ma

No it doesn't. It suggests that abilities may be distributed differently. People are not identical.

Cool. It's interesting how the thumbnails look more organic than the large images. Some patterns are more pleasing at lower res (screen, not data).
