I've been playing around with it today and have been super impressed with its ability to generate pretty artful digital paintings. Could have big implications for designers and artists if and when they allow you use custom palettes, et

It's the same as exchange rates, constantly being recalculated. Though crypotcurrencies are orders of magnitude more volatile. A seller will set their price in USD (or other established fiat), and convert the price to bitcoin at the ti

It's more complicated than this. They probably could implement it much sooner, but they are waiting for 2 things (I'm speculating here). 1. Larger hashrate, which decreases likelihood of a 51% attack. 2. SegWit2x November hard for

Thanks, I'll look into it. My naïve opinion is that a desktop client would be less secure than Coinbase's vault. Hardware wallets are generally unavailable or inflated (Trezor and Nano S). Therefore, I assumed paper wallet was the

Say what you will about Coinbase, but I really appreciate their willingness to adapt and respond to customer feedback. I personally didn't want to take on the risk of creating a paper wallet and having to move my small amount of BTC fr

It's a bold (and I'd argue an incorrect) assertion to lead with and without providing evidence or supporting opinions.

Keto is interesting though it seems like it could be hard with social activities. Have you had any difficulty? Best of luck!

Sounds interesting. Is the fasting something you do every week or just when trying to lose weight?

I have a modest amount of money in Robinhood. I love the app and they way it has encouraged me to learn about markets. I started in March of 2016. I was naïve and I made a lot of silly mistakes early on, but I was able to learn a lot of fun

I love living in San Francisco. For me, it's a near-perfect city and climate. Obviously it is expensive but I find it completely worth it.

This is a tough question. I'd say it depends on what kind of designer you need! I'm a product designer in SF, and I work with many amazing designers. I can say that the vast majority of us are not publishing on Dribbble, Behance,

Given the typically early hours, possibly awful conditions, and nature of their jobs, I'd say they're also paid fairly. Additionally, my assumption is the garbage collection industry is similar to ISPs – meaning options are limite
