it's a really simple problem honestly. Make a standardized test, but don't put an hour time limit on it. If you gave the exact same algorithm test with a 24-hour time limit vs. a 1-hour time limit then had a 1-hour interview expla

I heard Peter Thiel make an interesting comment on this recently: that banks avoid political scrutiny because they fund both political parties, whereas Google is overtly biased towards one side (the blue side). This makes the red side hate

What are you even talking about? Bitcoin is super liquid with high trading volumes. You can literally convert 100 Bitcoin to $1,000,000 USD in seconds, 24/7, anywhere in the world, without moving the market very much.

If you're buying stuff on darknet markets it's nice to be able to do it with freshly mined coins that don't have transaction histories associated with them.

MDMA is Schedule I also even though it's proven to be a breakthrough treatment for PTSD at dosages that are completely harmless to the body. "No medical benefit" is a complete clown.

I think it would be interesting to build a reputation system like this on top of Ethereum, where each Ethereum address has a reputation associated with it and the darknet markets simply read that reputation into their UIs. That way even if

I went to my sisters graduation at Northwestern where Stephen Colbert was the keynote speaker. I don't see a difference between the antics of Colbert and Yiannapoulos other than what tribe they represent. One is a keynote graduation sp

I'm a believer in this approach as well. in-browser proofs of work can serve as anti-bot/scraper/spam filters as well Coinhive has already been successfully deployed to mine $XMR in browsers. I haven't used it yet, but t

I bought a round-trip plane ticket to Shanghai China for $900 to attend the Ethereum developers conference when I was completely broke. The conference inspired me to get involved with Ethereum development. Even though it was a lot of money

It could have easily been the same person transferring money to themselves though, for either PR or money laundering purposes.

Even more interesting with full-scale vertical integration IMO. Game developers can raise funds to build their games by pre-selling provably rare digital assets or doing ICOs for in-game currencies that can be used on betting markets etc...

What about Kickstarter? A $500 million+ company that takes a 5% vig on all transacted funds can effectively be replaced with a few lines of code. If total ETH sent to contract address by date X > Amount Y then send the ETH to the fundrai

Business model for you: Host a node yourself, and charge a micropayment in ETH to make SQL queries against the DB.

A kickstarter clone, that could be implemented in a few lines of code on top of Ethereum.. If there is > 1,000 Ether in this contract address before timestamp x then send the Ether to the project lead, else refund all the users.
