That is a single address. Isn't it very reasonable to assume that persons with the most bitcoins will have them distributed among multiple addresses?

Can you select multiple tabs and copy urls of the selected tabs? Sidewise (similar extension for Chrome) and Vivaldi TST (yes Vivaldi now also has TST!) allow this. Firefox TST didn't the last time I checked. But it is a really useful

That is why I really, really fear that in five years or so the "tab" feature will be removed from all browsers. "Because only power users use it." That argument is used all the time while destroying the tools we need an

Please be more specific than "most of europe". As you are talking out of experience, you can just say where that happened. At least in Germany no delivery person will call me to check whether I am home.

As a student team we made an autonomous racing car in scale 1:10 for a competition (Carolo-Cup). During the controller tuning we observed that the car would cut corners and therefore leave the track, which would of course lose us points in

Yea well you have to dig through a lot of trash to find the gems. But since it is part of the deal you need to take the time into account that you need to wander through the mud. Officially I won't count the hours that I use for this a

Not all things I read on the way are worth taking notes of. But the work related gems I find will be mailed back to work with keywords. For gems that are related to personal interests I have other knowledge base dumps.

by xaedes 9y ago
But honestly all the work-related reading on the web (e.g. hackernews) I do should count as work time too. Then you can add some 4 hours or so.

A few months ago I had the feeling I get nothing done (programming), because of all the other stuff I had to do. That is why I started tracking my time consumption on a half hour base. "If you want to control something you need to meas

As a research scientist: ~7 hours (after breaks), of which only 3h are programming. The rest is organizational stuff like meetings, writing research proposals, answering emails, making powerpoints, supervise students, etc...

You are right! I certainly don't know where that "George" was coming from. Thank you for pointing out the mistake

I recommend reading George Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". This is about comparative mythology, aka comparative story telling. He works out the core elements and common concepts that appear in story telling acros

I have this book lying around here waiting to be read because someone already recommended it. What in the book stands out the most in your opinion? Why would say this is worth a recommendation?

Pick-up community got me into personality development. IIRC it is often called "inner game" there, in opposition to the "outer game", which is how to approach women, talk etc. The inner game aspect was very interesting a

C++ also needs something like std::bind. To have to use some bind mechanism is reasonable for me. In JavaScript you could do this since quite some time with currying.
