A SegWit commitment on the left hand side causes any permutation on the right hand side to force a recalculation of the left hand side. This is still a non-issue as a solid GPU farm can crunch the SegWit version trivially and there are ASIC

There are thousands of Apple and Android C# apps (see Xamarin).

As a Linux/Windows developer, Swift remains a toy language as it cannot be used to do develop useful applications for Linux and Windows, where I make all of my money.

Databases are often the only stateful component in a system - statefulness is inherently complex.

You're paying for Internet service, yet without Net Neutrality the ISP can opt to not give you the service you're paying for until they get protection money from someone else. It's fraud.

A useful opinion is the result of some thought process and set of inputs. By not explaining that thought process or its set of inputs, it is impossible for others to validate whether an opinion is reasonable and/or useful.

An opinion without justification adds nothing.

A working billing system is a prerequisite - if you can't bill your customers, you can't pay your developers.

Don't you have to give your biometrics though? The privacy / tracking implications seem a bit disturbing.

Generally we prefer AMD cards as most (profitable) mining functions are memory bandwidth dominated. Usually it's a shader unit that gets unstable in the 70-80C range (note that most silicon is rated for higher ranges). AMD's hard

Ethereum, Monero, and even Ethereum-Classic (difficulty/arbitrage/exchange rate permitting) are all good GPU candidates - SHA-256d (Bitcoin) and Scrypt (Litecoin) have ASICs, X11 (Dash - formerly Darkcoin) has FPGAs.

Detection of false positives: Run candidate solutions through the CPU Detection of false negatives: Compare solution distribution and frequency to expected models; switch to debug kernels if outside tolerance. However, this works because th

How do they guarantee the correctness of results? A major problem with GPUs is you see single bit errors with surprisingly high frequency. For graphics this usually doesn't matter as a minor color or vertex deviation isn't notice

Patents. If you have features you need to file patents on, that needs to be done before the feature is publicly disclosed/exposed.

Alternately the greedy ones have concluded your opinion of them is worth less than the extra cake :).

Is the million dollar check going to me or the company? In the later case the company might not need it.

Pedantic people will argue that a heap is a technically tree - but you're right when it comes to the actual implementation.

If they cared enough, and can't offer skills (time), they could always offer money.

Serious question: are AMD chips a viable alternative (from a security standpoint)? I hear their new Zen chips are coming soon.

Seriously - what the fuck Google? It's only a matter of time until a patent troll writes a for loop on the store index to send out infringement suits DMCA-takedown style.

You can always re-use the hard-drive after you've created an image of it - but the image gives everyone peace of mind if you ever need to recover/investigate something after the hard-drive is wiped. This way you can also put the i

After doing this, on the technical side: 1. Disconnect the hard disk, and image it using a clean host machine. Since the attackers had full admin-access, you'll want an image in case they deleted anything (and to perform forensics if

"The first human" is remarkable because there are many tool-assisted versions of this. It's delineating the fact that no emulators or automated input devices were used.

If someone says to you: "we're looking for people who aren't just motivated by money" You should counter: "there's no shortage of meaningful problems; I'd be irresponsible if I didn't work on the one

You're also at the mercy of their often unreasonable demands (testing bars and sign-offs that they themselves never would pass).

I'm really skeptical these cards will be cost/perf competitive with AMD's upcoming Polaris. The 1080 is the only card with GDDR5X, which from what I've read has twice the bandwidth of GDDR5. The 1080 and 1070 both have

Syntax that doesn't require you to type out "begin" and "end" for scoping and ":=" when you mean "=" for assignments are the first things that come to mind.

The point is that toxic customers tend to sap your bandwidth. If you impose a time cost on them it throttles their ability to do so. One way or another the problem works itself out, which lets you focus on the paying (i.e. actual customers

This also applies to customer service. Nice customers get fast response times. Toxic entitled customers (especially of the free plan) wait 2-3+ days before getting a response.

It's not a conceptual stretch to have Bash adapters for .Net objects, PowerShell is unnecessary.
