Sure, 4 days before the fork and also locking up withdrawals and setting time limits.

I could accept Coinbase saying they dont plan on supporting it in the long term, but its kind of ridiculous to think that Coinbase can make a blogpost, and potentially appropiate millions of dollars of the coinbase users and thats fine because it was said before.

Not to mention that I've been particularly locked out of the platform for months due to the slow and fuzzy account recovery process, and that the delays on it didnt allow me to retreive the coins in time between the notice, the lockup and the account recovery process time.

So no, I dont find Coinbase's position at all tenable.
We've been big Cisco customers for years and ever since I saw FCoE I thought it was a disaster. All of the DCB extensions that had to go into ethernet to get it to work was such an ugly mess. It was just too complicated compared to alternatives, and iSCSI got a free ride on all that work (ethernet pause, flow control, etc) and was far simpler to implement. And of course with lots of 10Gb options with iSCSI offload, it was getting harder and harder to find any advantage LARGE ENOUGH in FCoE to justify it's cost and complexity.
That's interesting. I wonder if this is a regional thing, or just different personal experiences. For me, I've never had a particularly bad Uber driver, but I've had incredibly bad taxi drivers. (My favorite was the guy who decided that driving down I-395 in Arlington was a good time to catch up on some paperwork. He kept the cab on the road, but only by using all three lanes. Thankfully it was about 2AM and nobody else was using them.)

While driving, I tend to fear for my life when taxis are around, but whenever I spot an Uber or Lyft car, they seem to behave unremarkably.
Since when is "natural vs artificial" evidence of relative healthiness, or even a logical basis for comparison at all? You have numerous comments in this thread all drawing on the same fallacy that some MSG can be "good" and some can be "bad" when that is inherently impossible.

Producing a URL with the word "science" in it ending in .org is not sufficient evidence. Find a single empirical datapoint or published study, otherwise stop spreading fearmongering speculation. Do you concern yourself with which table salt to buy because it may be "bad NaCl"?

Thanks, got it. It is nice to see database systems directly offering a locking system for use in applications.
Seems like a cool company.. but there are other cool companies that don't require me to spend 4 hours before I get to even talk to anyone.
Yeh, this unpopular view is now becoming popular. I've said it from the start, there is a reason for regulation. We just needed the awesome software to manage real taxi services. The price isn't sustainable, people want the on demand taxis.
Beaches and a relaxed pace of life, not unlike that of the Balearic coast instead of aggressive dog eat dog of SV culture?

It is different but some people might like the more relaxed atmos.
There's no difference between trading the BCC or just throwing them into the trash.
Yeah iSCSI and NFS. Also affecting this is the huge growth in "Hyperconverged Infrastructure" (HCI).
> passing laws on guns and drugs will stop those things.

Problematic comparison. Politics aside, gun laws can definitely achieve publicly desired outcomes. E.g. handgun ban in Australia. Drug laws mean your paracetamol won't poison you.

Encryption laws where you want to have your cake and eat it are a very different matter.

20% novel? Don't you mean 5% novel and interesting, 95% derivative/outright clones? And I'm possibly being generous with that percentage.

There are hundreds of games that come out every day, and Apple only highlights a small number of them. If it seems like 20%, that's probably because Apple chose not to feature them.
Oh god. I had the pleasure of seeing one of their new executives speak. An ex-Microsoft guy.

I won't be surprised at all when they alienate their userbase with a pointless redesign that adds nothing of substance.

The kinds of people that are working at Reddit now are the kinds of people who are not creative and incapable of creating something original. They are the kinds of people who join a tech company solely to ride off the coat tails of those who came before them with original ideas and substance.

Naturally, since they don't understand the original desire and intent they are not able to contribute anything new or original. So how they contribute is instead by a route redesign of something that already exists.

Redesigns are generally not about improving upon something that was there before. They are a political process for who can get control over something popular that someone already made.
It Will Take a Lot to Kill Uber
Most of the companies I've interviewed with will only consider remote workers who have prior experience working remotely. I just don't know how to demonstrate to employers that I have the self-discipline to actually work if I'm not forced to go into an office full of distractions every day.

In any case, after yet another round of rejections for (mostly remote) gigs, I've given up on getting out of my crappy job for the time being. It's a non-programming "architect/sme" type job, but it pays well. I've been focusing my creative energy on a little side project which I've managed to find the self-discipline to work on in my free time over the last year (maybe it'll be successful and then that can be my 'exit plan' from this place).
Not really. They should have taken a clear, objective stance, one they could apply to all forks. Like, if the volume of the fork reaches X and the value over 7 days is at least Y% then within 30 days we will offer withdrawals. That way fewer people would have made withdrawals from Coinbase before the fork, and fewer people could claim bad faith on Coinbase part.

If BCC keeps up at least 10% of BTC price, I'm guessing Coinbase will end up at least doing withdrawals.
But seriously, people threaten to sue the exchanges everytime they go down from insane amounts of traffic during a dip or spike.
Even if they could make transactions, the exchanges aren't accepting deposits of BCH. The only exception I'm aware of is ViaBTC and apparently they want 20 confirmations (about a week at current hashrate, I think). The BCH market cap that's quoted in this article is rather misleading because nearly all of those coins simply cannot be sold on exchanges currently.

Regarding the question in the replies: when the fork happened, all the BTC in the exchanges at the time split off into an equal amount of BCH. The various BCH/BTC markets are effectively trading people's claims to portions of those much smaller pools of BCH that were already on the exchange when it forked. (Those claims can't necessarily be converted into actual BCH yet either; for example, Kraken isn't currently allowing BCH withdrawals.)
I usually try to make a UML Sequence diagram so I know what classes are being instantiated and what methods are being called as well as what's being returned. Also, I try to make as many type hierarchies as I can, especially when abstract classes are involved.
Hey John, this is neat! Speaking to grad students at Columbia in both the math and physics department, I could see something like this really solving a problem. What led to you making this/what makes it different from every other whiteboard app on the web?

Here's what I do. Find employees using LinkedIn, find their GitHub profile and any projects they're doing that I find interesting. Create a good pull-request.

After it's accepted, I send a follow-up saying I'm looking for work and asking if they'd pass on my CV.

I only do PR for projects that interest me anyway, so it's not time-wasting as I'd do Open Source work anyway.

This approach hasn't actually got me a remote-job yet, but I think that's more down to my lack of interviewing technique.
What I think all the press isn't making very clear is that to the best of my understanding for every Bitcoin you own, you get a Bitcoin Cash coin. There is no "conversion", it is free money for all BTC holders. Everyone who owned BTC, now owns BTC+BCC.

Of course if your BTC is not real, but is held by an exchange such as Coinbase, how you get your BCC isn't at all clear.

check out the book "turtle geometry: the computer as a medium for exploring mathematics" by abelson (of sicp fame) and diSessa. it's a wonderful book that shows a how a turtle language and the resulting geometry can be used to explore serious ideas.
Maybe it was just my friend group, but I feel like Facebook had a nice period shortly after it switched from profiles to walls, but people actually thought about what they were posting instead of spamming it constantly. Then between the spam from inane facebook games (via the API access you mentioned, I think I have ~100 of these blocked still because of how they gobbled up the whole feed at the time) and now the giant number of content farms, the news feed is attention grabbing yet useless for anything actually social.

Someone please steal this idea:

- Social network where you get 1 post per day. Text status, link, photo, whatever.

- You have a couple of free "bonus posts" each month for when you really want a second post.

- Monetize by selling additional posts, but the cost ramps up exponentially.

I'm sure it's not destined for facebook-level gajillions of dollars, but there's got to be some market for a sane social network that you can actually keep up with, right? Instagram is working for me right now, but maybe only because I don't know that many people on it. I've tried FB and twitter and basically checked out of both.
The converse side of this is when you do hit something that isn't covered by the iOS documentation (and also can't find some random WWDC talk) you are completely stuck with no avenue to find out the answer, whereas with Android you can pull up the AOSP source and often find the answer to the question yourself.

In my personal experiences, local drivers (ones who grew up in the city) know where they're going on Uber. Sadly I can't request for a driver who won't take 3 wrong turns before they even get to me...

> Still, even with a huge surge, Uber is 1/2 to 1/10th the price of a cab in my city.

This summarizes why the model would continue to work. It's similar to low-cost airlines: most of us hate them, but most of us still use them.

It doesn't make anything infeasible today. But if you think both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are going to be around in 20 years, and you want to support both, now you've just added 800% to your annual storage growth rate. (Assuming that BCC always mines full blocks, which I will admit seems unlikely)

I have to be honest, I was keeping a cold wallet with some ~1-2 BTC in it until the price reached record high territory in the last few months, and it took me several days to download the entire blockchain against my wallet.dat. I had to free up well over 100GB to get the coins out.

If I hadn't done this dozens of times already (when the blockchain was smaller) and had some degree of confidence that it was going to succeed and grant me access to the coins, I probably would have been freaking out as I reached about the 36 hour mark into the process.

I can't imagine it's going to get better in the next couple of years. Maybe "Moore's law for storage" will outpace economic growth in the Cryptocurrency sector, and in 20 years my mobile phone will be so powerful that it will no longer be a concern. That sounds like a bit of a gamble, doesn't it?
As insulting as this may be to some doctors, perhaps the ones who care, it is exactly what most patients of hard to diagnose problems experience most of the time. I've seen many doctors with my girlfriend who suffers from CFS.

Patronizing indifference describes it quite well. They may run a few tests, then come up with nothing and insult you with the dumbest things.. Its especially bad when you go back multiple times and know more about the disease than they do, and the state of the research (this without spending an obsessive amount of time looking into things).

People's lives are totally ruined by this condition. Other diseases where you may experience pain, or discomfort, or reduced mobility, you may still be able to fight through the pain and achieve life goals. With CFS, the harder you fight, the harder you lose. You can go from being an extremely high achiever who works 3 times as hard as everyone else to get there to then being powerless over your own life, career, etc. The harder you try, the harder you fall. You have to learn to do little every day and hope that you're lucky enough that it'll lead you somewhere, or that some day, something will be discovered and it may help your condition.

The worse part is in many places, you get no help.. You may `appear` fine on the day you go in to the doctor, because it was the only thing you did that day and took it easy the day before because you wanted to at least make it to the doctor. Then they don't get it. Or they'll suggest you exercise, as if that makes your CFS better. Nope.. Because if you go at it a bit (10-15 minutes of light cardio) then you're out of commission for a few days, leaving you feeling pathetic and useless as your loved ones pick up the slack and try to provide you with everything you need and not make you feel guilty, while all you wish to do is get up and do chores or your part, or work, or anything productive, to feel alive, to feel like you're useful at something, have a purpose.

But nope. While there is research happening, the general medical community doesn't recognize CFS for what it is and the systems around it which should offer support don't exactly recognize it either. You're more likely to be referred to a therapist to go do some damn CBT than you are to get help. Telling that to someone who has a degree in psych who's done CBT and has CFS and knows the whole thing inside out is pretty demeaning and discouraging.

Anyway.. rant over.. but yeah, patronizing indifference. Hit it on the nail.
People who bought BTC on Coinbase/Gdax after the fork own the correspondent BCC also?
Pile on the frameworks to speed development and to make mobile development more familiar-feeling for non-mobile coders. Instrument every user interaction. Use a cross-platform SDK. Squeeze every penny out of every ad network. Whoops! Bloated.
Thanks for the extra detail; it's always good to hear of any gotchas. In my system a lot of what happens is effectively a single user operates on a subset of data that nobody else touches but I'll definitely to a named lock prototype before I go down any particular path.
A startup is an organization in search of a business. As such, frequently collaboration needs to be done in person. Actual businesses have an easier time with remote workers.
> Upwork, PeoplePerHour and Freelancer are great places to secure remote work. What you’ll find may be more short-term, but that doesn’t mean it can’t evolve into something permanent (if that’s what you’re looking for).

Scratch that! Those platforms are useless even for freelancers.

Best advice that worked for me is to apply for any job and during the interview process you just say that you will work remote and come to the office once per XX amount of days.
I had the same problem initially. No one would take me on board because of the 'lack of experience'.

A Workaround is to pick up a few freelance gigs on the side using Upwork, Freelancer (or similar) and then leverage that as you have technically been working with clients remotely.

That's how I got around it
And if prices are high, customers will seek alternatives. So it could backfire.

Also, this practice is illegal as it amounts to price fixing/collision. These are all independent businesses conspiring to raise prices. These aren’t employees of the same company – they are independent contractors which means they are separate businuess entities from each other which means they are committing a crime.

Collusion is a crime and that’s exactly what these separate business entities (who happen to have Uber as a customer) are doing.
Clojure was my first language and I agree. Everything made sense, and I was in for an unpleasant awakening when I started to learn other languages. Mutability in particular makes writing sensible code a lot more difficult. And learning how to properly structure object-oriented programs is still a thing I struggle with, many years later.

Clojure's developer ergonomics have spoiled me: I love the repl! And since its stacktraces were the first type of error reporting I was exposed to, I don't think they are as bad as other people make them out to be. Certainly worth the tradeoff considering all the other benefits you get.

Having your BTC on the exchange split into BCH the time of the fork is the only way I'm aware of to get your BCH onto Kraken (or the other exchanges) because they're not currently accepting BCH deposits. Unless it's already on an exchange that supports it or you've got a time machine you're basically out of luck for now if you want to sell your BCH, and even then people have been having problems with the exchanges falling over.
Nuclear just can't succeed as long as every reactor is a custom job with unknown costs. Companies like NuScale are trying to fix this by creating modular plants with predictable costs. It is unfortunate (especially for my hometown of Pittsburgh) that Westinghouse didn't pursue a modular design for it's latest AP1000 reactors.
No they didn't. They could have offered withdrawals of BCC, eliminating all uncertainty. That would be handling it "best". Or even a clear policy as to under which circumstances they will offer BCC would be better. (If they said they'd do withdrawals if the price stays over 0.1BTC, that'd have placated a lot of people.)

Giving notice so as to not totally screw customers is sort of the least they could do. How they get any sort of praise for this is bizarre.

As an outsider, the remarkable thing about this to me is that one can (for now) sell the same bitcoins twice, right? If I own 1 bitcoin pre-fork, I can sell it for $2700 and then sell the exact same bitcoin again as Bitcoin Cash for $700. Crazy.

> Microsoft invested in the tech so they’d perform well

This is the core of the reason. This extends beyond just the dev tooling they created, though. It also includes partnering with NVidia and ATI to create the best performing video drivers. Apple put a similar effort into making mobile games easy to make and performant, which is why they are the dominant platform in mobile gaming.
It's an interesting situation, but assigning liability to coinbase for this seems like it'd be a problem long term. Unlike traditional securities, there's nothing stopping me from going out and making my own fork tomorrow - and then would all exchanges be required to add support for that fork, too? Where do you draw the line?
How to Turn Off Autoplay on Netflix
The article implies that this is an active, coordinated effort; but I have to wonder if any of this is/could be an emergent phenomenon based on the existence of the surge pricing algorithm.
