Mostly correct. You can use the code review tools without needing your repository set up in Phabricator or anyone else with Phabricator accounts. You could comment on a diff and point your coworker to it, but it's unlikely to feel bett

Dear everyone: you should be using Phabricator. It is Facebook's collected wisdom about software development expressed in software. It has improved my life substantially. The code review is better than Github's, and their linear,

"The notion is that "women's work" is devalued, and there are all these social reasons women find themselves being underpaid or not paid at all for above and beyond "supply and demand"." It's an int

Oops, you're right. The CIA is and always was an independent executive agency.

It was clearly a simple mistake. The intended distinction was between the Department of Defense and the Department of State, which was once a meaningful distinction.

If you're looking for a similar replacement, I like Aviate. Yahoo bought them, but they're still developing the app.

Merchants don't need to expose themselves to FX risk to accept Bitcoin. Square does that for you, as do Coinbase, Bitpay, and similar companies. I don't think the tax issues will be prohibitively complicated for consumers. Whichev

Can I transfer stock to you with three taps on my phone? Bitcoin makes far more sense than stock as currency, especially if higher sustained demand reduces fluctuations in value, which isn't typical for stocks.

I believe the taxable event is exchanging Bitcoin for something that isn't Bitcoin. Even if the merchant holds on to the Bitcoin, a gain has been realized.

Some political views are unacceptable. If you think that the government should prevent people of different ethnicities from getting married, I don't want to work with you. If you don't think the matter at hand falls in the same bu

You should introduce that fellow to real estate investment trusts, where he'd be almost guaranteed to make more money than his strategy.

I don't think anyone's really worried that Mozilla is going to stop being inclusive. They want to punish Brendan Eich for opposing marriage equality. Saying that Mozilla won't change isn't going to change people's m

Is sending emails yourself as easy as changing two lines of code in your app? That's what it took to integrate Mandrill for me. If you think that's as hard as sending email yourself, you are wrong.

What you've described would be desirable were it not for a widespread flaw in human reasoning. When people invest time and/or money into a place, they want to make sure it doesn't change for the worse. The default strategy to

You're right that Uber doesn't operate in Austin outside of SXSW, but it's not because they don't want to. The city shuts down every Uber-like service that tries to operate here. It's bald-faced corruption.

by natrius 13y ago
It is illegal for Uber to operate in Austin the way they do in other cities. During SXSW, Uber offers free UberX (since it's illegal to charge, but giving free rides is legit) and paid Uber Black, which probably falls under normal limo

This doesn't refute my claim that buying treasuries disproportionately benefits the wealthy.
624.
by natrius 13y ago
"$100 million richer" is wrong, but increasing the demand for treasuries makes them worth more, which makes their holders more wealthy.

by natrius 13y ago
I don't think it's a problem per se, but it's not neutral. When the Fed purchases $100 million of treasuries with new money, it makes wealthy people as a class $100 million richer.

by natrius 13y ago
Only the wealthiest Americans (and foreigners for that matter) own the assets the Fed is bidding on. It is not neutral.

If there is evidence that MtGox was complicit in the loss of their customers' Bitcoin, someone will go to jail, regardless of the jurisdiction. It's plain old theft.

FDIC insurance is aimed at banks that make loans, which Coinbase does not.

This is an unreasonable complaint. No one buys houses with piles of cash. Bitcoin is cash. It probably won't replace transactions that are impractical to do using cash today.

Consumers didn't have gift cards for gas, either. Lots do now. Those gift cards have no consumer protections. When I buy items with Bitcoin, I pay and I walk away, so confirmation time is a non-issue in practice. Cash back is a fair po
