You're totally right. And what scares me the most about this is the "reverse auction" logic that they'll use against net neutrality: Say a broadbank link today costs $100/mo for 50Mbit. That will remain. It may e

I guess I mean "valuable" in the intrinsic sense, not the financial sense. If, for example, in the model that Stripe outlines, the Bitcoin network ends up powering the Bank-to-Bank side of things (away from the consumer), only a

This is one of the best posts on the "state of the Bitcoin economy" I've read yet. They nail a few key points that shows they get it in a real-world sense. * Mass-consumer adoption of Bitcoin is a tough sell in developed cou

Preface: I'm a huge fan of Uber & AirBNB and use (and love) both extensively. That being said, I have to say I'm impressed/shocked/in awe of their respective strategies. One of their biggest innovations isn't

It's still a great service, and you should still consider it. Just make sure to read up on how it works and always pay through AirBNB directly, not an outside site.

This is a limited perspective (mine), but here's how they're competing right now: All 3 are optimized on "home-quality" food, i.e. healthy, homestyle cooking. And they're cheap. Sprig dinner is $12, delivered in

A few thoughts that stand out: 1. If this turns out to be widespread, this could generate a huge amount of negative publicity for Bitcoin. As Krebs pointed out in the article, this type of attack is specifically enabled because of Bitcoin

That would be wonderful - but we have a long way to go before Yelp loses credibility (for better or for worse). For some reason, lots of people trust them. They shouldn't, but they do.

This is probably an insanely pessimistic view, but my first instinct after reading this is that there's got to be some absolute misery juuuuuuust below the surface of this place. Having seen and dealt with lots of HOAs (and seen how in

I love the problem they're attacking. I agree completely that early-stage/small business lending is one of the great challenges in entrepreneurship today. "Banks lend money to people who don't need it" rings very t

I can't tell if you're serious or not. If you're not, well, cool. If you are, well, your perspective might need a bit of realigning. As someone who's driven nearly every new BMW that's been made in the past 10 yea

I have to say, after the big piece appeared about price manipulation / fraud / whatever on MtGox, I have zero confidence that this is a genuine rise. Caveat: I'm not an "active Bitcoiner", just a casual observer.

What's remarkable about this whole affair is that when all is said and done, one can step back and see the following: A guy bought an NBA team for $12.5 million in 1981, made some horribly racist remarks in 2014, and then realized a 16

Sorry for the dumb question, but as a JS (and JS testing) newbie, could someone explain how Jest is different from Jasmine (from which it's built on) or, say, from Mocha?

Yes, in fact that's exactly how I've been getting myself to learn some of the more fundamental / weird parts of JS. I've been following this path and building Anki decks after each chapter: http://javascriptis
