I worked on online casino software for several years and we had a number of bugs like this. They would usually involve someone writing a client to hit our API directly and fiddling with the xml messages. The operators would usually catch th

You could buy a slower Xeon for around the same price if you really needed more than 64 gigs of memory. http://ark.intel.com/products/75269/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-... And it supports ECC.

I agree there is a lot of fraud and greed in the cryptocoin community which makes it risky for people new to it or the naive. For people who have done some reading or hung around for a while it's usually pretty easy to spot most scams.

Premining and instamining (where they just start the coin with x coins in the devs wallet) are fairly common practices among new cryptocoins. They are usually frowned upon by the community but not always as the coin developers will sometime

Love the story, reminds me of the early days of Primecoin where I had my first exposure to cryptocurrency code. I spent the first two months of it fighting to stay ahead of the curve as well and had a blast. Not nearly as successfully as Da

The issue is that by providing housing subsidies more money would be put into the demand side of the rental market. This would most likely cause rents to rise as there is now more money to spend. In this situation the only way out that make

Houses typically appreciate at better than 4% a year over 20 year time frames, although this is very location dependent. If they had bought in almost any city in the US with a population over a million they could have done much better. htt

I'm not trying to be snide but imo hoping the economy will improve by someone finding a growth engine is wishful thinking. I would like to see tax policy and government spending formulated for sustainability based on domestic consumpti

I agree with your points, I have seen people use similar justifications for why they have not improved their lives. Which is unfortunate but I think it's the wrong battle. Many more times I have seen people from middle class or better

I don't have any issue with the fact that it is special purpose, I have a hard time calling it a success before it can be shown to be better than any known classical approaches at something. I love the fact that they are trying and are

My biggest problem with these results is that they are comparing the D-Wave machine against classical simulations that are built to solve the same problems the D-Wave is best at solving. The gold standard in the quantum algorithms world is
