I think the foundation probably is legally required to have multiple directors, but you would think that a foundation that raised $500 million from "donors" would give out some information about who two of the three board members

Yes, this is an unfortunate situation. Basically before the ICO happened a Swiss non-profit was formed called the Tezos foundation. The foundation would receive the ICO "donations" and then the foundation "may" provide t

This is why I'm really interested in Tezos. The promise of Tezos is that the governance will happen on the Tezos blockchain via voting by holders of Tezos. Decred is also doing something similar, but I don't think Decred has smart

Finally! I've been really impressed with the Microsoft Hololens and I was hoping to see more action in the AR headset arena. This is a great move in my opinion!

It seems like the root problem is that students cannot declare bankruptcy on student loans. If they could do that then lenders would adjust for risk accordingly which would lower the availability of loans, which would in turn drive tuition

It seems wrong to categorize the war in Iraq as part of The War on Terror(ism), since Iraq wasn't involved in 9/11. The best explanation I ever found as to why the US went to war in Iraq was in the article below. It basically says

Would it be possible for your team to start a small VC firm instead of a startup? Wouldn't that be a better fit for a team that has lots of capital, one technical partner, and one sales partner, but currently doesn't have an idea?

The ICO funds are controlled by a Swiss foundation. See my other comment in this thread regarding the board members of the Swiss foundation.

I think you are incorrect about how much the Breitman's would make from the ICO. The Breitman's company DLS would get 8.5% of the ICO funds once the main net launches and then their company would also get 10% of the genesis block,

After the ICO, I started trying to figure out who was on the board of the Tezos Foundation. I found it strange that there was very little info about who was on a three person board that controls hundreds of millions of dollars. What I found

The Bitcoin bubble could still be the result of government action even though Bitcoin is not a creature of government. For example, if China is preventing its citizens from moving money offshore that action could result in a Bitcoin bubble

Completely agree. Future generations will marvel at the fact that we didn't figure out that having large populations living in poverty would create hot zones for contagious disease to spread from. The Ebola outbreak that showed up in D

I can't recommend varidesk.com or geekdesk.com enough. A varidesk is great if your company already supplies you with a non-standing desk and a geekdesk is excellent if you work from home and get to pick any desk you want. Be sure to ge

I'm completely over the 8 hour plus 1 hour lunch workday that results in spending 9 hours at or around your place of employment. When you factor in your commute of, say, 30 min each way, you've just spent 10 hours of your day. Add

You could consider Silicon Beach (Los Angeles) instead. Rents are cheaper and google and snapchat are located there.

The best thing to do is probably to buy an NAS, seed it with your 17TB of files and then colocation it at a colo facility or a friend's house and then use some sort of one way sync utility (rsync, rclone, carbon copy cloner, bittorrent

Do these companies that keep offering unlimited plans not know about reddit.com/r/datahoarder? I feel like the users of that subreddit alone will crush pretty much any cloud service offering unlimited storage plans.
