The Newsweek one made more sense than this one. Especially him saying he wasn't involved in it any more. Imperfect English wouldn't make me think I worked on a project called Bitcoin, which also doesn't even sound like most tech. He certainly issued a rebuttal but would if it was true or false. Same for the email saying he's not Dorian. Meaningless.

So, she might be wrong or right. Who knows. That story wasn't convincing mainly due to how it was presented. I think this guy is onto something about that:

http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2014/03/10/satoshi-why...

So, now we have a new one with leaked emails and blog posts. The writer is wise enough, as Analemma noted, to mention it could be a hoax with some indications of that. It's actually the first thing I think given the two source are both huge red flags, one already has editing, and they center on a sort of egomaniac. An egomaniac who also has financial conflicts of interest and major investments in Bitcoin that might benefit from a false reveal. I'm not buying it until we have good external or first-hand data tying him to Bitcoin like prior work attempted.

The trust chain and leveraging Satoshi's stash without directly moving it is good thinking, though. I predicted that in private conversations as a significant possibility. Learned the trick from Wall St where they have all kinds of ways to make money on less money or static assets. Hell, they even make money on non-existent assets lol. A person sitting on a Bitcoin fortune able to prove it without it being published could do a lot of the same stuff.
I wish they would say how it was disclosed. Your scenario is bad, but less bad than actually sending it out to the Internet, or some malware on a dev's machine grabbing it.

Generally, we talk about what we're doing because we're all excited about what we do. It's always been that way for us, and our customers really appreciate the honesty and transparency.

On this particular one, we really did learn a lot and we were keen to share some of that. It's really difficult to run an internet service and we feel we have a duty to try and make this easier, or at less better-understood, where we can.

Our business can't exist with a large diverse network that anyone can get involved on, and we couldn't have got to this point without the knowledge of others, whether that's embedded in the open-source software we run or in the blog posts and emails of other people that figured out hard stuff. It wouldn't be right for us to take and not give something back in return.

There's also an element of defiance in this post too. We got punched in the face. We're not going to respond by hiding in a corner. We're going to say "you know what, fuck you" and we're going to help (and have helped) others to do the same in whatever way we can.
Because you shouldn't work for free. That holds true for writers, that holds true for artists, that holds true for web designers, and that holds true for programmers. And unlike those other professions, the creative has the power in this relationship. What these companies hate admitting but all know is true is that even a mediocre programmer, a sit-down-and-write-code programmer, needs these companies more than the programmer needs them.

If a company wanted to pay you for that work-sample test, that's different. But they don't, of course, because that costs them money instead of costing you. There's no need to let profit-seeking entities use you for nothing. You just don't need to be their monkey.
Threat to Detroit’s Rebound Is the Mortgage Industry
That's assuming they still have it. Perhaps the reason none of the bitcoin created in the genesis block has ever moved is because Satoshi thought there would be some value in having it be static and never expected bitcoin to have actual value.

They may have deleted that key.
I think Gizmodo's is a much less rigorous article than the Wired one. It mostly consists of accusations and circumstantial evidence. Every early player in Bitcoin development has these in spades. In a world where Craig Steven Wright is not Satoshi, we'd see the exact same tenuous evidence.

In contrast, the Wired article stays close to the facts (GPG keys, email addresses, IPs, etc) and hedges its bets. Wright might be Satoshi. He might be a hoaxer. We don't know. It's not as satisfying to read as the Gizmodo pablum, but it's much more accurate.

Linux as a platform took off because it was possible for a smart user to install it on hardware they already had.

If there had of been a way to install Firefox OS on an iPhone or Android phone, I would have certainly tried it out. Mozilla really needed to target power users, but it was just too hard to get hold of the hardware - both hardware availability and the stupid state of carrier contracts are to blame here.

I don't know that Mozilla's business model works if they are not bundling their software to a licensed phone, but it's a shame that the mobile platforms can't be opened up the same way desktops are.

Not really. The best programmers have other stuff to do besides your make-work silliness.

"Get them to show you they can do the work. Nothing else matters."

This is even more silliness. Suppose you have a diverse team, and the a candidate comes up, and passes the test, but is Donald Trump. Are you then going to say that only the work matters?

To me, the article doesn't really sell Java the language. The big benefits are in the JVM and libraries, which support many languages far superior to Java. The only virtue of Java the language might be the programmers who know it, and even there, many programmers are not familiar with the new features of Java 8.
Not only grammar, but Wright's writings are full of typos and spelling errors, which occur at a remarkable rate, to the extent that he can't spell Silicon Valley! (he spelled it as "silicone valley"). I never once saw Satoshi make a spelling error.

That said, the rest of the evidence is pretty compelling, isn't it?

Satoshi did once say he wasn't all that good with words, despite evidence to the contrary. Perhaps this mysterious collaboration with his dead friend involved the other guy writing the messages.

mathnet taught me the fibonacci sequence.
I used to commute by car for about 40 minutes to an hour each way. I got pretty good at avoiding "stop and go" without leaving too much space between my car and the one before me.

Some useful practices I developed:

Don't look at the car directly in front of you. Stare through its windshield if possible to get an idea of what the car second in line is doing. If you can't see through the windshield, try looking at its shadow. And if you don't see a shadow, look under the car right in front of you: you should be able to see the first car's lights illuminate the pavement and guess what it's doing. When it's raining, that is especially easy since the pavement is much more reflective.

Also set your mirrors in such a way that creates a "single" mirror. Where the proximal end of your left mirror ends, the proximal (left) end of your cabin mirror begins. Where the distal (right) end of your cabin mirror ends, the proximal end of your right exterior mirror begins. This eliminates the need to look behind you every time you want to switch lanes. It doesn't eliminate your blind spot, merely moves it, but that's only a problem if someone is making a 2-lane change. That's usually pretty rare in heavy traffic.

Of course, all of these tricks don't work when others drive too erratically. If you don't gauge the distance between you and the vehicle right before you, others will 100% jump at the chance to cut you.
If you're interested in how much computation gets pushed down into the MongoDB database, versus how much gets pulled back into PostgreSQL, you can find some examples here:

> The "left" doesn't really exist politically in the US.. what you have remaining now is the non-rightists (mostly corporatist Dems).

The left does exist in the US, but the US center is so far to the right that the parties look a like a center-right party and a far-right party most of the time, by international standards.

OTOH, on the NIT, pure NITs have never reached any significant stage of the policy debate in the US, from either major party, so "leftist politicians" haven't shot it down (unless you define "leftist" so unusually as to include most of both major US parties.) Variations on NIT (which, certainly, compromise some of its key features, in each case) have been proposed by politicians of both major parties (including a form that passed as the Earned Income Tax Credit) -- and also several minor parties (a negative income tax was, e.g., part of the 2010 Green Party platform.)
I would have done the same thing. People are insane, can you imagine what they would do to the inventor of digital money? (I realize Satoshi is not that, but a lot of people will think he/she is.)
ISP competition in Kiev is intense. Business rates for symmetrical ethernet are around $50-200/month for 100 Mbit and $300-500/month for 1Gbit eth/fiber. Monopoly sucks.

However anathema to our national ethic, this is what works, and form must follow functionality.

Interestingly I have the opposite experience in Melbourne, Aus. I used to stand/walk/chase down empty cabs trying to get home but none would stop or just say things like "not far enough" or "i'm not going that way". This was true even at cab ranks.

Now I stand waiting for an Uber for a few minutes and 1. it turns up 2. they never complain about distance or direction and 3. I get home safely.

I do however mostly avoid crazy surcharge periods.

Yes, of course with regards to Erlang, C and C++ - but Ericsson is far from everything in the Stockholm region and in Sweden. That said, Ericsson is enormous and there are bound to be plenty of former Ericssoners in many other companies. But I find it a lot more diverse than stated in the original comment none the less. Especially if you're looking into start-ups, SME and up - as well as with the meetup.com/HN-crowds.

I don't know about bounties, because I'm not personally in favour of vigilantism, but I do take your point.

Honestly, I think the ease in which people can be anonymous is major problem here. Anyone with an internet connection can buy botnet time with Bitcoin and accept a ransom in the same way. It makes it incredibly difficult to follow the path back to the attacker.

At this point pretty much the only thing you can do is collect data and share it with CERT and other relevant law enforcement. I don't have a good sense of how effective they can be, but it makes sense that the more data they have, the better chance they have at identifying specific botnets and follow the path back to the owners.
Culture is very important, but keep in mind that USA is the biggest market without massive barriers like in EU (language, regulations etc). Look at B2B.

I'm sure he's wrong with that particular phrasing.

If a real problem does arise with a non-working majority perpetually voting to increase their BI, a more flexible answer would be to make the vote conditional on having paid a certain amount of tax, either in that year or over their lifetime to date or some combination of the two. But let's not roll back the clock a few decades on universal suffrage until we're absolutely sure we need to.

EDIT TO ADD: a core principle behind BI is that paid employment is not the only socially valuable form of activity. I believe that. Taking away the vote from people who aren't making a contribution in $$$ form would fly in the face of it.
That feedback may not be hopelessly vague, but it's also totally unactionable. They wouldn't let me reinterview, and interviewing was the only problem they identified.

I think that's plausible particularly because he emailed someone asking them to leak his message about not being Dorian, and that person heavily edited / redacted it; it's quite possible that is a recurring theme.

Also in the Gawker article we are told Wright emailed Kleiman asking for "help editing a paper", "I need your help and I need a version of me to make this work that is better than me."
I find that simply following proper protocol in traffic rubs off on other drivers. It seems that way anyway. I don't think it's that hopeless. I think most "public awareness" initiatives are pretty hopeless, but my own experience leads me to think that this is tractable. People can learn new mental cost models.

I have personally witnessed the basics of this taught as part of a driver safety course, and most of the people who took the course at least made noises like they were surprised at some of the more intuition-challenging aspects.

> I just happen to write the majority of my code in Java. If tomorrow we decided to use a new language, I could pick it up in a few days...

The languages in your list are:

* declarative: HTML, CSS, Groovy (for Gradle), SQL

* scripting: Shell, Perl, JS, Groovy (for testing)

* Java-clones: C#

I found it difficult to pick up Clojure and Haskell "in a few days" when all I had was experience in those types of languages. In fact, mastering each of those languages requires a change in thinking that can only occur over a much longer time.

This is similar in the US. There are lots of additional costs beyond the salary for an employee. It's just never really advertised to the employee how much money the company actually puts up to pay the salary in your offer letter.

That's the problem I had with perl. Sometimes one plus one is two, sometimes it's eleven, and the interpreter doesn't always do what you expect.
Considering that human ability is normally distributed, and the easy migration enabled by modern technology has resulted in a massive concentration of intelligence in the major cities of the US, it's exactly as expected that there would be certain regions that stand out above the rest. I don't think this really provides evidence for or against any political philosophy, provided there are relatively reasonable amounts of liberty in the system.

I wrote an opinion on what I think Twitter could become (https://medium.com/@danclay/how-twitter-could-become-the-ube...), before I learned that Facebook is essentially doing the exact same thing with its Instant Articles. I think this will be the nail in the coffin for Twitter becoming anything more than a niche service for techies, celebrities, and thought leaders. Facebook is making big moves in the news space, and if they're able to beat Twitter at their own game of real-time, it's game over. Moments is a start, but it may be too little too late. Perhaps it's time to pull a Foursquare and separate the traditional feed with a much more robust version of Moments into separate apps to try and gain a lead in real-time, but that'd be a hell of a Hail Mary. Twitter has a lot of good people and it's a shame to see them become a zombie in the tech space after so much early promise.
