The story about BIS authorizing banks to hold 2% of reserves in Bitcoin was dramatically misreported. This was actually placing a limit on their holdings, to 2%, which is down from no limit previously.

This is not a new idea -- it's a whole field of infrastructure called "Payments Orchestration". It probably doesn't make sense for small startups, but companies that process more than about $10M+ USD per year can (and do

You are talking about simple theft, not fraud. Theft is always possible. Fraud is not possible with bitcoin. Not sure why I was downvoted.

Bitcoin. It can easily be confirmed as valid (zero chance of counterfeit), and is otherwise a bearer instrument with no further settlement, and impossible to reverse (like cash).

The closing of that Borders was a tragic loss and the end of an era in Palo Alto.

The semicolon is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. That makes your example 5-10-5 words instead of 5-5-5-5. Try using a period instead of semicolon and hear how it sounds.

I think it’s clear that social media (or more broadly, “the internet”), is exacerbating mental health issues. At the very same time, the ability to connect with people around the world is undoubtedly also reducing mental health issues (fo

This depends on the TLD (top level domain) in question. For .com, .net, .org it has historically not been possible to price discriminate like this. For the "new TLDs" (the explosion of new extensions we have seen in recent years),

I would recommend trying to find an internal transfer. That way you don't have to do another round of whiteboard interviews, but you might find a better / more interesting project to work on. Any change of scenery might help.

afaik, you can interview for a different team/function right away, no need to wait one year. The one year waiting period is for re-applying to the same position.

Registrars need to pay a yearly fee to ICANN (in the $xx,xxx range if I recall correctly) and significant startup fees as well. This qualifies you to pay 'wholesale' prices for domain names. Wholesale prices are set by the registr

The hierarchy of Internet domain names goes something like this: ICANN -> TLD operator (registry) -> registrar -> reseller (optional) -> registrant (you)

Steiner's esoteric views are hardly a part of the day to day discussion at any Waldorf scool. Rather (from Wikipedia): "Waldorf kindergarten and lower grades generally discourage pupils' use of electronic media such as televi

I'd like to see police start giving tickets for tailgating instead of speeding. Speeding alone is rarely very dangerous, especially on roads with few other cars. On the other hand, tailgating is always extremely dangerous, even when th

The headline of this article is misleading. Markets don't 'fuel' demand. They match existing demand with supply. The demand comes first, and exists in the mind of those who want to buy ivory (or drugs, or whatever the case ma

Often times, only the smartest people can reverse engineer and maintain vast amounts of poorly written code. When code is terrible, it is very difficult to reason about. Hence, you need to be very smart to reason about it, and be successful

Thanks for sharing. I agree. Telerik (and similar) components are great for getting you a lot of functionality straight out of the box, with minimum time and effort. Where they break down is when you need to make any sort of non-trivial cus
