It seems likely that they'll be required to AUCTION them off through an approved process rather than sell them themselves on an exchange. And they probably won't do that until they've convicted "Dread Pirate Roberts&quot

If you do upload your wallet to "the cloud", you should definitely encrypt it with strong encryption and with a password of appropriate entropy. Otherwise, you're just asking for someone to steal your coins.

I have successfully removed bogus credit dings from my report. You have to follow a lot of steps and document everything well. If the creditor or agency doesn't respond correctly, you can sue them in small claims court for violations

I spent a large part of my career working for a small company in Silicon Valley that became a Very Big Company. One of the things that the CEO liked to do for a while is have a "lunch with the interns” during the summer. He’d chat wit

Fortunately, FAA regulations also seem to require the flight attendants to sit in their seats during takeoff and landing. Once the flight attendants are done "policing" the isles and get in their seats, I just take out my Kindle a

I am the same 'greenlander' that is referred to in the article. LOL, it's a small world. The only thing I can suggest to all you of guys out there (and I know that 90%-95% of the readership here is 'guys' and not &

I saw your post, went to rally.org, and saw that the campaign was exactly $159 short of the $50000 goal, so I donated $159. It looks like there is a new $96000 goal... someone else will have to do their share to pitch in.

I can see your point, but as someone with a long sting as a manager in Silicon Valley I can tell you what happens in real life. Employees divide into two groups: the "honest" ones and the "work the system" ones. The ho

It's actually even worse than that, because the employer is paying an additional 6.2% + 1.45% on your behalf. But from the employer's point of view, it's just another cost of having an employee. It's a zero-sum game.

All the candidates I gave serious consideration to write lots of code (as did my staff who also interviewed them). But I can't interview everyone whose resume I receive: I can only pick the best resumes. When a candidate failed the interv

I interviewed thousands of new college grads. The guys who I made offers to were almost always guys who did stuff on their own. Right before I retired, the last guy I made a job offer to showed me an app he had written for his iphone that s

I second the "100W sustained" number. I did the math once with the assumption: 2000 kilocalories/day diet, 4.1852J/calorie, 86400 seconds/day, all input calories are eventually given off as heat. 2000 * 1000 * 4.1852 / 86400 = 97 watts

jaxbot, I was a hiring manager at a major Silicon Valley semiconductor company for many years before I retired. Unfortunately, the CS degree really does open doors. If you're good, you can skip the degree. But you must be really good. Ho

I was a manager at a major semiconductor company for long time. I personally hired boatloads of interns out of Waterloo. On the whole, they were a great bunch. Many of the best ones we converted to full-time hires. I agree it was a great

Agreed. I only found the Money Moustache guy a few weeks ago, but somehow I was born with the same mentality of him. I always saved the majority of my income. Last year I retired from my corporate job at the age of 40. It really is possi

Yeah, I didn't get that one either. The game is rigged: anyone with any understanding of math knows that. The house always wins. Unless he's opening the thing up and downloading firmware, he's not 'hacking' anything. He's just losing mone

Any serious amount of data storage requires a hard drive (as opposed to flash), and hard drives are quite fragile. If you drop one on a hard floor it's probably done. And with time they fail for all kinds of other reasons. They are mecha
