Putting more heat into boiling water won't make hit hotter, it'll just evaporate quicker. You'd need a pressure cooker.

Quite a few python programmers I know are physicists or other non-professional programmers who really don't know how to write C, use gdb, debug linking problems, etc. For them I think staying in pure python is really a large plus, even

I think that's a strange way to approach a killswitch. The point of a killswitch is to stop everything NOW, so the system can be checked. After the problem is understood, then it's safe to restart strategies gradually and unwind p

In doubt use watashi, it's hard to go wrong with it. The more formal watakushi is also good but you need the keigo to match, and there is such a thing as excessive politeness, even in Japanese.

Bitfinex allows shorting, and icbit.se lets you sell futures for a similar effect. It's actually very cheap to borrow bitcoins on bitfinex last I checked due to so many people holding them. I consider both exchanges to be risky, though
