I have to wonder if the same happened when we figured out the printing press, minting gold/silver, etc... If you'll remember in the early American Colonies, [every colony had its own currency]( http://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Make sure you're running New Relic or another monitoring service that can give you some insight into various parts of your application. If you can't see what is slow, then you can't fix it. Fixing bad queries (n+1 is a common

Damn. Good point. I was actually thinking of firing up an EC2 instance just to test/play with them (clearly, mining with AWS isn't generally profitable, but its ok to play with for a few hours). Lemme know if you get the docker st

Maybe I just suck at this, but I've found that compiling the needed tools for various cryptocurrencies is kinda hellishly difficult. I've been trying to get this one going on OS X Mavericks for the past hour with little luck. I&#x

I guess in my mind what I'm thinking is that individuals are often decimated by criminal/civil judgements, as sometimes are small/medium companies, yet we almost never see legal action threaten the real survival or profitabil

That would indicate that either strong encryption has been cracked, there was something on the inside of their datacenter for processing, or they weren't using encryption right?

I personally found this clone to be compelling for a few reasons: 1) FOSS means I can play with the code, which I can't with Minecraft 2) I'm trying to re-learn C, and having some relatively well done modern examples that are of r

But if I'm caught selling something illicit, my personal fine isn't based off a 2x multiplier of the potential profit. That type of basis only acts as a deterrent if they are caught for their actions at least 50% of the time. Othe

5 weeks of income. Let's say that again, 5 weeks. Now, 1.9B isn't nothing , but for a company with this type of income, and a market cap of around £130B, and profits in the 10's of billions... it approaches it. Can you imagi

How does PCI compliance not cover these things? Is Target liable for losses here? It would seem to me that if you can't secure the data, you shouldn't keep it (which is the reason I use stuff like Stripe . I don't want to see

As a person with ADHD, that article was too long to hold my attention (no, I'm not making a joke here). Also, as a person with ADHD who takes Adderall I don't see what the big fuss about it as a drug/medicine is. It works. I

Jumping ahead, or rewinding to catch something you've missed. They should definitely put the transport back in there. I can see how they don't want people skipping around, but it does harm the experience a bit.
