About 20 years ago I wrote a little program to turn my own standard keyboard into something I could type on one hand with. It's basically just T9, with every basic letter key bound to two letters instead of one. (The mirror counterpart

Maybe SF spends its money more smartly. People complain about the homeless problem in SF but never seem to stop to think that perhaps we have more homeless because there is less incentive to not be homeless in SF. NYC has lower homelessness

Influence is like money. You have an equal right to pursue it, but no right to some quantity of it. Some people have more of it, others less. If you want more, you're gonna have to work for it first.

Wouldn't you agree that a multi-billion dollar market cap, millions of daily tx volume, and a pretty decent price of $400, all of which keep growing in the face of so much "credibility losing", counter it rather nicely? Human

Can you explain why the signature matching one in the blockchain disproves the theory? I imagine the signature must also be somehow related to his private/public key pair otherwise his blog is just junk cryptography and would have been

At this point there are many people who simply have bitcoin. Maybe they bought it a long time ago, maybe they bought it recently. The acquisition time isn't really a factor anymore, it's been around long enough that people simply

Not sure we read the same article. The author did not dismiss #1 as a plausible motive. He dismissed it as the likely motive, to give Apple the benefit of the doubt, from fear about what it would mean about them otherwise.

I actually love the taste of Taco Bell and find Chipotle to be heaping piles of blandness. But all my friends and coworkers prefer it and would laugh at me if I ate cheap fast food, so I end up going to Chipotle more often. It's defini

Not sure why people are always so interested in cutting down other peoples' heroes. "Oh, Einstein wasn't special, if he didn't get it, the next guy would have. Check out these folks instead." Somehow not sensing t

Pretend the company is valued at $1m. Pretend you consider a standard programmer's salary to be $100k. If they offer you a $75k salaray, you are saving them $25k/year. Assuming you'd be there for 4 years (because that's

Writing and programming are basically just thinking, manifested as words or code. Most people either don't enjoy thinking, or are bad at it. I think this has and will be true for a very long time.

(1) That's not made apparent in the sentence (why leave it for a footnote?), and (2) you haven't explained why that number is actually meaningful. Edit: I don't know much about this stuff so please correct me if I'm wron

The cost of a bitcoin transaction is not $50, it's about $0.06. Often times, such as for large transactions or moving old coins, you don't need to include a fee at all.

That's almost a tenth of a percent. For just the word "fart" alone that is pretty high.

For most people who own cars, they are an extension of all their other personal space. I want to be able to leave things in my car and not have to take them out or replace them each time I drive. My sunglasses, the car seat, old-fashioned

They're all "USD soon" but none of them actually have it. The real race is to getting that available. Til then none of them will really take off, since you can't really trade between USD and bitcoin if you can't de

I don't necessarily believe that this address was related to the theft, only pointing out that the expectation of one transaction containing all the stolen bitcoin is not correct. Yes, using different addresses would be less suspicious

Do you think this means that it is less likely, or more likely to be related to the thefts? According to Gox, the theft was happening over a long period of time, not one lump sum. Transfers to this address began in April of 2012, which is

The fact that it wasn't all moved today does not mean it isn't related. The theft was due to a leak that happened over a long period of time. The transactions to this address start in April of 2012. That is entirely consistent

The funds were likely stolen, not sent into the void.
