My point was that the Argentine peso obviously is a currency, because other people spend it. Therefore by the OP's logic Bitcoin is also a currency

I've never spent the Argentine Peso. Is the Argentine Peso a currency?

I've always thought it meant: Simplicity + Readability >>> performance If I can look at a method and think of obvious speedups then it was a good method because I could easily read it and be confident about what it does. Loads

If you're trying to use brute force to break this system it's important to realise that the search space is not all possible hashes. The search space is all likely names. This makes it trivial to break, especially for the CIA case

Anyone who rents power is a huge market too. AWS are buying diesel generators to backup/supplement the grid.

AWS is 10-100x the cost of on prem. I've got a client who is paying about $300k per year for a postgres instance that is basically my laptop. I think S3 is a loss leader and EC2 is close to cost. Everything else is a massive markup.

40 failed interviews in a row, with 10 years of experience is rare. If he had failed 5 interviews then I would just tell him to keep going. After 40 failures in tech he needs to stop and work out what he's doing wrong.

If you're a former tech lead with 10 years of experience, and struggling to get a job then you're doing something wrong. Have a friend / former colleague who knows you and the industry. Get them to look at your CV and do a mo

You can still have kids with your spouse. If she really doesn't want to then break up with her and find a woman who does. There are loads of attractive women in their 30s searching for a man to have kids with. Disagreement about weathe

It's not a blunder 100% of the time. Sometimes non tech people need to see it working before they understand.

I've tried and failed at this, a SAAS that served small builders. Your best bet is probably the blog and going to conferences. However I only got one customer that way. It's also worth looking at partners. Do these companies have

How did you find jobs in the past? I just found a 6 month contract at £600/day after a 2.5 week job hunt. 2.5 weeks from first message to a recruiter to getting a verbal offer. The actual contract took another week to come through. I j

I'm spending less than $400/year on liability insurance in case a client sues my company, or if I cause a data breach/loss for them . What insurance are you planning on paying for?

It depends which stablecoin. USDT and USDC are both billion dollar coins backed by enough real assets that they survived the collapse and "run on the bank" of the failed stablecoin Terra. It's super easy to trade either of th

The old two spinning cans on a cable idea. When you drill into it you find that the stabilisation required for the cable is much heavier and more complex then a long rigid pole.

When you start talking about your company literally everyone will give you advice. You should ignore all of them, apart from your entrepreneur friends.

This article ignores explainations that do not involve nepotism between friends. For example my high income friends talk about salary, so I know what similarly qualified people can make, and I know when to keep pushing in salary negotiation
