The author here is clearly biased, having publicly declared blockchain to be useless [0] and having made bets against crypto [1][2]. It seems like his motivation here is to smear Coinbase for issues incurred by their payment processor. [0]

All the cool kids are beating up this mongo kid, let's join in, we'll be cool too! I'm sorry but your comment here on HN adds no value other than just piling on. MongoDB has indeed a purpose, and it's wildly misunderst

Let's say Apple hires you to work on Siri, and you discover that a certain construction of a deep neural network allows you to construct a smooth (differentiable) Turing machine which can do wonderful new things. Then, without asking f

Well, it's a hard problem. Looking at the data, could you come up with a way to learn control more quickly? Ie, given a series of pixel intensities, could you send commands to each motor to get them to grasp something?
