Then why do other engineering disciplines go onto practice in industry? There should be computer science, and then there should be software engineering. One is in the sciences school, one is in an engineering school. I bet the engineering e

It's not so much the statements as the fact that she specifically helped get bills passed that enabled warrantless wiretapping. There was no concern for Constitutional law. Personally, I don't think people change much. I doubt she

No, it's not political, it's ethical. I'm giving my data to a company to hold. They appoint someone who has no problem spying on my personal data and using it for their own _political_ ends, who has no strong concept of priva

This feels... weird. There was a problem with Coinbase months ago that was patched where some of this information could be found if someone was using Coinbase's merchant tools. A list of emails and names feels a lot like trying to caus

This is an understandable way to look at the problem, but I think it's largely wrong. You need to capture minds while they're still very open to learning. People are locking themselves into career paths by the time they graduate c

Yes. The hash you have to crack is padded with 0s at the start. I'm hazy on how hash difficulty actually adjusts, but that's the idea. For more, see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty

If I open an incognito window and hit it again, why does the price change?

Sure. Coinbase, as far as I know, sources its coins from the exchanges (Mt Gox, Bitstamp, btc-e, etc). I could be wrong about this. Coinbase acts as a nice middleman where you can securely link your bank account, and for this convenience Co

I hate to be that guy, but Coinbase is pretty clear that you'll get your coins _eventually_. If I were doing thousands in transfers, I'd absolutely be using an exchange. They're also a small start up, funding or not. Their su

It is not a fiat currency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money It is not backed by any government, it is not legal tender, and it is not state issued. It has no intrinsic value, you're right about that part.

The problem is that the difficult rate increases based on the hashing power put into the network, and the reward for mining is cut in half as more coins are mined until there are none left. http://www.bitcoindifficulty.com/

This guy doesn't seem to get what bitcoin is or it's purpose. As far as I'm concerned, bitcoin will just be another alternative currency forever. It will likely never replace fiat, and that's fine. It's awesome for

Computer science is mostly "math" only at the lower levels - things like language design, how the bits work in the actual circuits, etc. Exceptions are things like 3d graphics and crypto, but most "normal" programmers do

Any chance I can use this with OpenId or sign up for an individual account some time soon? I really hate using my social accounts to sign in. I know it's probably super low priority. I think it's a pretty neat idea :)

This seems real scary. "Give us your wallet address, email, and a password, then let us run a bitcoin miner for everyone that hits your page that may magically cash out any where." Mmm... Although if it's legit I'd use i

$293M.... I'm just consistently angry over how much this cost. There are so many moving pieces, and while I understand that, $293M for one piece. Half a billion for a website. Christ.

Buffer is a service where you can link your Twitter/Facebook/etc accounts and share them at timed intervals. It "buffers" your updates for you so you can release them on a specific timeline.
