This should fix my problem of not being able to connect to my site though a corporate firewall because I run multiple tornado instances on a single server on different ports. Before nginx wasn't able to route port 80 requests to the chat su

I could 'create' dollars too if I had a lot of resources the forge bills and coins. The point is any government can fuck with a currency.. what's new? There are plenty of ways to defend against attacks.. I was around during the P2P client w

What about instead of having non-nullable types - do what objective-c does and 'drop' calls to null objects. There's been a number of times that instead of my application blowing up from a null exception, whatever feature my user was using

Not really, you missed the point which was the government can create new dollars at will. Nobody can create new Bitcoins on a whim.

Please, go ahead. Create some Bitcoins. I'm waiting..

by pixie_ 14y ago
It's not fiat because you can't create Bitcoins from nothing. If you can then create one. I dare you to create a single Bitcoin.

Mathematics. Which makes it a lot harder to mess with - as opposed to government backed currencies. It's also harder to forge and easier to transfer than material currencies like gold.

Show me a fiat currency the appreciates over time and maybe I'll look at it differently. Have you ever thought of that the root of our over-consumption society might be caused by the need to keep our money always moving to prevent it from d

Bitcoin is created by rules of mathematics and mined by problem solving. Gold is creating by mining and refining and governed by the rules of physics.. What does any of this have to do with the definition of fiat? It's already defined, look

by pixie_ 14y ago
Fiat does not imply constructed. The notion that gold (or tulips) are valuable are equally constructed ideas by humans. Nothing has 'inherent' value apart from the value humans perceive these things to have. No, the only thing fiat implies

As noted above, Bitcoin is not fiat currency. It can't be created on demand by any person or government.

by pixie_ 14y ago
Exactly. People take note - Bitcoin is NOT fiat currency. Fiat is latin for 'let it be done.' As in governments can create new money at will. New bitcoins can't be created on demand by anyone.

This is a big win for Mono and Xamarin.

Why not use jqMath? It's latex based, 10 times smaller, and 10 times faster than MathJax - which is aimed more at publishers.

Psychology has some of the worst 'science' there is. It's studying alchemy before understanding chemistry. Reading psychology journal articles is painful.

Marriage wasn't even in law until the late 1800's when they had to define it to outlaw polygamous Mormons.

It's not a 'good thing' to deal with piles of legacy spaghetti code with no method to it's madness. Sure if you've been coding UIs for years, I'm sure we'd work fine together. In my experience, coding designers, have not been experienced co

Recent designers I've met around NYC have been novices, jquery dependents, and people who took a 12 week how to code ruby class and somehow got hired. To me a designer is someone who can make a site look good in photoshop and then hand it

LIR doesn't replace cars for long islanders like it does for new yorkers. I can use the subway to get groceries and do errands around town.

Coming from NYC, the Valley is the suburbs, and suburbs with public transportation don't go together well. People are so spread out, which means the public transport is spread out, which means the utilization rate is lower and not very cost

You aren't annoyed when someone acts 'matter of fact' especially about things that haven't even happened yet? It's the ultimate in arrogance.

Not if politicians are receiving donations in bitcoins ;) Mark Warden already does. http://www.markwarden.com/page/bitcoin-donation also your 'matter of fact' attitude annoys me.
