They're doing something that doesn't scale in order to learn more about their potential customers. It doesn't have to make sense as a long-term business in order for them to get good data out of it.

Your concern about facebook login is totally justified. If you check out the verification processes used by bitcoin exchanges and brokers, you'll find that they collect far more sensitive data than anything Tinkercoin touches.

Completely understand your frustration. We have to keep a very high bar because of the possibility of credit card fraud, and sometimes we have false negatives. Sorry for the confusion!

Hey, email me at gareth@tinkercoin.com and I can take a look! Edit: I had a good chat with sync and he/she successfully got bitcoins.

Totally understandable. We're planning to add other login options soon.

Yeah, I might end up eating my words. The quote was taken a little bit out of context, what I was trying to convey was that amounts this small are very unlikely to need the intense KYC/AML checks that full-featured Bitcoin exchange are

This is Gareth from Tinkercoin, thanks for checking us out! We are completely compliant with all US federal AML/KYC laws. We also have a strong background in credit-card fraud and it's been top of our mind since day one.

Having done > 70 interviews in my time at UW, most companies don't understand or care about the difference between Soft-eng and CS programs. I'd highly recommend CS over Soft-eng, unless you like pain.

It's unclear what is happening and this may be a prank. The initial reports that the FBI had seized the domain appear to be a sarcastic "down for maintenance" page on the part of Silk Road. I've yet to find a real source

No, the refusal of water is clearly inappropriate in this case.

Airport security is frequently humiliating. I myself have been nearly reduced to tears just by customs agents when crossing the border on business. However, this man set off a bomb detector. He set of the machine that detects bombs, repeate

Nice work to the brothers Karpenko! I always knew luma.io was going to have a happy ending.

Agreed. If I set off an explosive detector, I would expect to have a hard time, too.

No, Mastercard International has now stated that they are ending the blockade. In a letter from VALITOR´s lawyers, VALITOR relates how it sought the opinions of MasterCard International and VISA on the proposed July 1 cut-off. In its respo

No one who's met the Thalmic guys thinks they're going anywhere but up.

Good for her. I look forward to a day when "I work for Yahoo" will again be a phrase that can be said with meaning.

I think you've made an important distinction here. An action is sexist if it is a material discrimination against a person because of their gender. However, there are emergent patterns in environments with large gender-asymmetries which cau

Here's some amusing trivia: the source on this article, Communitech, rejected Thalmic from their "Hyperdrive" accelerator program shortly before the company was accepted by YC. Something about "we don't think people will like it". Suffice i

I even hazard that whether the report "leaked" or not is irrelevant. The really interesting thing here is that, in a world of algorithmic trading, being 400ms late to a party can cost millions of dollars.

Interestingly, you see very anarchic power structures in some of the world's best software companies. Facebook, for instance, has very little hierarchy, and nearly all the manager are engineers. Valve has literally zero hierarchy, workers c

Realistically, this choice would never happen, because any decent software shop would hire both if they were identically qualified.

Chomsky revolutionized linguistics in the 1960s. Compiler theory incorporates a huge amount of his work. Calling his contributions negligible or detrimental is like saying Freud's contributions were the same.

So much hate in this thread for one of men who laid the foundations of Computer Science. We may disagree with his ideas now, and possibly his theories are out of date, but the magnitude of his contribution to linguistics, and by extension,
