I also agree with the article author to give them a take home project to work on. Just saying that a computer science degree and a 10 min chalk board test are a pretty terrible way to make new hires.

As someone with a computer science degree I can say I've never questioned it being on my companies job postings. But when I think about it I'd rather see a candidate with an excellent github account than a degree.

"I hope to see the industry improve in this respect, but in the meantime I'm happy to exploit this imbalance as a competitive advantage." I wonder how much of requiring a computer science degree is simply because the people h

This bummed me out as well, but it's worth noting if you have an Apple Watch that has a barometer in it.

Most retail accept them through companies like coinbase or bitpay but they immediately convert them to USD so their exposure to a bitcoin hack is minimal. The reason they do this has more to do with the fluctuating price though as they can&

SHA256 is used for mining but that would only expose new coins that are being generated. If there was a vulnerability there the community would switch to a new mining algorithm to secure new blocks. Addresses are protected by hashing a publ

Yeah, I just pulled the title from the github issue. I got it and liked the image for the project, I just think it's a little crazy this is a controversial issue and wanted to see what hacker news thought.

That's a pretty good comparison. In both cases you are adding warmth to a source one via software and the other via an amp.

A counter argument I'd give is has anyone ever described a TV as being too harsh, as in they can't watch it for an hour without experiencing "fatigue" that causes them to need to stop. Of course with a TV this sounds rid

In pomodoro if you get interrupted to the point where you need to stop what you are working on you are supposed to stop the timer and start over when you can. It forces you to make sure interruptions are actually worth dealing with vs putti

I haven't used it but I did attend the talk on it at the AWS conference when it was announced. It is not using DynamoDB under the covers. It basically uses a fork of MySQL for the front end and their own storage layer built from scrat

This would only make sense if when you moved bitcoins into coinbase they immediately converted them to USD. In that case, sure they would need to have USD on hand to cover your funds. In the case where you are storing the bitcoins with coi

Now that it's in stores to try out (they have units on the table you can use the UI on in addition to the try on appointments) people should just go check it out for themselves. I got the same sense from reading reviews, most seemed ne

It's kinda buried in all the announcements today but before this AWS Lambda could only be used for asynchronous calls. So if you were developing a mobile backend you could only process events asynchronously and had no way other than o

I don't know the answer to this but given the user is the one who didn't complete the transaction in 10 minutes they are probably held responsible. I would guess if it was underpaid they would have to send more to the address (th

To put this in perspective here is some napkin calculations on how much power dogecoin currently uses: Assuming an average kh/watt of 2.333 [1] and the total network hashrate of 68 GH/s [2] we can see the network uses about 30 Meg

Considering the term goxxed is a staple of bitcoin vernacular I wonder why they decided to use it as their rebranding.

Lost in the news that they accept bitcoin is the "Coming Soon" under Butterfly Labs hardware mentioned on that landing page. First I've heard of a mainstream electronics store selling ASIC mining hardware.

Nobody GPU mines for bitcoin anymore (ASICs killed that long ago). My 2 year old ATI card makes $4/day mining litecoin or even $8/day mining dogecoin. If you want bitcoin you simply send the alt currency to an exchange and trade

I wonder why this is. One of the benefits of bitcoin is that once you send it it's gone so there if you wait for enough confirmations there is no chance of charge back fraud. I'm not sure what they are worried about happening wi

Except you can use any bitcoin wallet so they accept bitcoin not coinbase. As absurd as it sounds when snapCard (a site that orders from other sites for you) first started they would only work with Coinbase. Enough customers complained th
