At least for some time, on mtgox.com you could log in with your original credentials and check your balance to make a claim. Not sure how that's going to be handled now.

The human driver is also at fault and maybe even more so than the company. Don't know what his instructions were, but probably the main reason to have him on the drivers seat was exactly to avoid this kind of situation. The guy should

My initial (learned?) reaction about automation is also that it's a good thing. But when analyzing it, automation only provides very temporary gains. Even if those gains were distributed evenly, people in the end would not necessarily

You are right about shitty jobs not being the solution. About the last part of your statement though: society has already implicitly accepted the crappy minimum living standards (at least in the US) that it's willing to accept. That do

Sure, but that's the case for almost the whole stock market (in the US) right now. Fundamentals make almost no difference in the stock market today.

That's definitely an interesting thought experiment, and wish it was a real problem at some point. However, that thought experiment doesn't make individual stock pickers and active fund managers better (skilled) investors in any w

Going off on a tangent here, but it's interesting how the first thing on that list is "create product". I would argue that most new companies (at least started by and solely run by technical founders) fail exactly because of

Sure, you could also argue the same about all the words in the dictionary, because at some point everyone had to learn what the words they are using mean. However, "serverless" is pretty much the only concept (please post more exa

Sure, maybe 200 years from now everyone in the world "on average" might be doing better. That still doesn't mean people whose jobs get automated today wont suffer, or that the Luddites didn't suffer when their jobs got t

Your comment made me scratch my head trying to figure out what you mean. Anyways, it seems you are actually confirming the statement above about speculation in the stock market. >> It is controversial... Which means, it is not proven

Most of the stock market is nothing but speculation. Sure, "informed" speculation, but unless you have enough ownership in a company to have some kind of power in their decision making process (or have some other advantage like in

Employment stats are very misleading. There are lots of people with full time jobs who can't even afford housing. Sure they have jobs, but they are still in a really bad situation.
622.
by ta1234567890 8y ago
A lot of those people are actually employed but can't afford housing. This is a problem with no good solution in sight so far and it's going to get exacerbated with job automation.

This whole thread makes the point by itself. It shows how it pretty much requires at least a small conversation to understand what the term "serverless" means. This implies it is not self-explanatory at all, hence confusing and mi

by ta1234567890 8y ago
The issue is that, on a first impression, "serverless" sounds a lot more like p2p than "developers/admins don't need to worry about managing the servers".
625.
by ta1234567890 8y ago
The main issue is that "Serverless" is a really crappy name given there are actually servers involved. Although confusing/misleading names might be good at getting attention because they prompt people to dig deeper to figure
