> You aren't trusting an exchange when you send a transaction on the blockchain. This is true, but exchanges have become the de facto on/off ramp for cryptos. If I want to acquire bitcoin without mining, how am I going to do it

Another day, another Decentralized AI Privacy Blockchain project raising a ton of money from people who don't truly understand the intricacies of the problems trying to be solved. What's new? I hate to be so cynical and this teams

This article has an interesting point. I think the corollary to the point made is that web software, which is what is providing most of the plumber-type jobs this article references, has reached a point of maturation where certain solutions

The claims in the article seem like hyperbole. The specifics of this sort of thing are very difficult to know, though it does seem like there may have been some state-enabled theft of intellectual property. The key takeaway from this articl

The thing Ice Posidean has going for him is an almost cult like following. Unfortunately the way that plays out is often quite negative who people who aren't a part of the community. I wonder if building a community with this level of

This looks interesting. I have to say I find it amusing that the NSA has a GitHub.

I would argue that Atlassian has better rapport with engineering manager types. Their products integrate and bundle quite nicely which is compelling for many organizations. As a dev, I'm not a fan of their UX but I've known quite

You asked if OP was sure they are android devices and suggested they may be spoofing user agents but it would be relatively easy to tell if they were actually mobile devices on a mobile network by the IP address. Assuming that they are mobi

I would caution against redirecting them to a government run website. I understand the sentiment but it seems like you could quickly run afoul of the regulations surrounding abusive traffic and may be liable if anything bad were to happen.

I worked for a tech startup for about 18 months before we were acquired. Things weren't looking too well and a larger company in a similar industry was looking to expand. Instead of building their own, they opted to acquire our IP and

I saw your other comment about starting something of my own and thought that was good advice. As far as college goes, I definitely wouldn't go unless I was serious about it and social aspect is especially attractive. Most people I inte

I've never been to college, but I guess I would say it seems like college is as much about figuring out what you want in life and finding people who can offer perspectives you may not have considered as it is getting an education. I gr

I'm very interested in ML but have had a hard time getting started. Any advice on a good entry point? I've gone through Andrew Ng's course but haven't found a great resource passed this level.

I live in Seattle but the people hear are all in institutional tech, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. Not too many truly innovate startups here either, mostly B2B. Was in The Bay recently and really liked it.
