"7tx/s doen't do much good if scaled linearly" Why not? Bitcoin Cash may be more vocal in the Chinese miner community but there are plenty of Americans who believe in it too. The storage issue both chains will have to de

I thought this Factom video was interesting, describing how companies like BoA paid billions of dollars in fines due to fraud in mortgages. Presumably, if the documents were on the block chain this could be adverted. https://yout

Maybe they should try to copy facebook's social network but remove features a good subset of people don't like and stick to more of a private image?

For one, you can't undo a transaction if you made a mistake. I.e. Put in a wrong amount or sent to an incorrect address. You can't call customer service if you don't see your transaction. I think those are big and come with t

Obvious to a young person like you. Clearly Amazon understood their market. But it was not obvious to entrenched businesses and all investors. Even Warren Buffet admits he made a mistake about Google.

Who are the people investing in ICOs? Does anyone know? Which countries do they tend to live in and why are they so speculative? As a developer, I think giving so much money, no strings attached, to a team before a product even exists sound

There are a few issues - there are no "chargebacks" with Bitcoin. You get a lot less protections in your capability to return things - its all up to the merchant. Also, the transaction times are too slow right now, esp for small p

"In time this will change so you can just make Bitcoin payments from your checking account." If Bitcoin could displace banks, what incentive do they have to displace themselves?

I think its a much better store of value (because of the lack of influence from banks) than a medium of exchange. It's very slow, has high fees (currently) and to buy the vast majority of goods you will eventually need to change it bac

A really good analytics service. Like really good - I get really confused by Google Analytics and don't have time to learn how to use all its capabilities. From my research, I haven't found the competitors to be a ton better. I wo

I appreciate this article because of how radical it is and I think it's worth thinking of different systems but, its sounds silly to me. "If everyone issued their own money in a free market the free market would do what it always

On 2 - I completely agree but much of the "validity" or "value" in bitcoin is there due to the incentive to get some. There would be little economic activity if there wasn't a perceived value and there is little to

I use "uber" when I really mean "lyft" - ie "Want to get an Uber?" is much more clear than "Want to get a Lyft"? I think any other more recognizable name would have been a plus for Lyft.

I agree with a lot of this though my journey has been really different. Running a business didn't interest me for a long time - then I realized I felt I was very skilled and I was just tired of working in the industry. So I came up wit

$1500/mo for a single room where you share a bathroom seems like a lot to me. Not $3000 but still a _lot_ for a college student imo. $1000/mo to share a room of 4? Wow!

"She spent about $100,000 to add a cottage in her backyard in Berkeley in 2011, and has been renting it out for between $1,500 and $2,000 a month. It paid for itself in under five years, she said." Why do they need to be relaxed i

Yes the article mentions that a 3 unit building in South Berkeley was rejected for no good reason. There is demand in that area and it would alleviate overall housing costs to build more there. Note that just because these areas are not as

I agree with building more housing. There are a decent amount of empty lots in Berkeley... and a smallish downtown area that could be revamped. However, even in best case scenario with a bunch of new housing, unless people start selling the

I agree. I don't see Berkeley growing too much outside of the downtown simply because it has a lot of character that people are attached to - and lots of wealthy people that are retired or just aren't looking for change. Still, th

From what I understand, they are squeezed like sardines to a room though. I would imagine they care - or maybe they don't know how good it can be. I was lucky to have easy access to a single room in college in the middle of an east coa

I can tell you as a candidate from a top university I never stick with interviews that are this involved! If it works for you that's good to hear but to me 1 day is enough.

I think Youtube advertisements are very targeted toward you, and not necessarily relevant to the video. Google uses the information it has on you and plays the products that have paid the most for your demographic from what I understand.
