> reduces the need for fees on transactions, as block space is no longer a sufficiently scarce resources

If bitcoin popularity grows, more transactions with lower per-tx fees will likely result in more total fees per block, compared to a world in which the block size is fixed and individual fees are higher. The induced demand will be a significant factor. This is fairly straightforward economics. This is a good thing by the way =)

Regarding orphan rates: I don't understand all of the gritty details, but I have seen some convincing explanations describing how, if block space isn't scarce, a miner's decision to include an additional tx is largely based on the likelihood that adding the tx will result in a block they find being "orphaned". So it is a self-regulating feedback loop of sorts. And as another poster said, it should affect all miner's equally, assuming they have a sufficiently sophisticated setup (low-latency, well-connected, etc).

For those don't know about orphan rates: An "orphaned" block is one that is wasted (and the reward thus lost). This happens when another miner finds a competing candidate block at a similar time and manages to propagate it more quickly through the network such that it is chosen by the majority as the next block.
Collecting any data without request is unacceptable, and unlawful.

In fact, it might violate more than a dozen of laws in the EU.

This is a general matter of principle. You do not get to access anything that is mine without approval.

If no one opts in, that's your problem, and you need to rethink your business model - and not break into users systems and steal their data. This is malware.
Basecamp Presents: The Rework Podcast
I setup my brother's small business stripe integration, and I wrote and tested the API calls to charge customers. Stripe doesn't know anything about his business except transaction sizes, and a bunch of info they definitely can't resell (TIN) or is already public knowledge (business name, billing address). I doubt they have anything helpful for pricing, though they might be able to analyze gross transaction rates and geography. I have never checked what their contractual obligations are with that data, I imagine if they started sharing it that would get out pretty fast, and result in them losing customers rapidly.
This is seems susceptible to a lawsuit. It would be the equivalent of a stock M/A or spin-off and your broker refusing to give you any stock issuance you were to receive.
@diminish Thank you for the suggestion. We will probably use the thumbnail to make the experience better.
I don't think it's either. I think that for many now journalism is reduced to counting clicks and selling ads. This is why legitimately "fake news" has gained so much sway especially on social networks. Print a story with a headline that people want to read and they will click on it, truth takes a backseat to currency. Easiest way to do that is to write something supporting someones deeply held belief or fear.

Now I don't think that the major news organizations purposely publish fake stories but as another poster said, a little sensationalism while conveying an otherwise truthful story helps to encourage clicks and improves a papers bottom line.

With the ongoing demise of print and the rise of competition on the web, legitimate news organizations are attempting to compete and survive and often that means employing some of the methods that we find distasteful but are proven to work.

You can buy a dedicated server ($50-200/mo) hooked up to a 1Gbps line ($1-2k/mo). Assuming you fully saturate the link, 900TB will take 83 days to download. Of course you can also rent a bigger line, or more of them. And this doesn't consider storage costs. But it's certainly less than $80k.

Edit: I think you could even rent at a datacenter that peers with amazon, hook your server with the files up to a VPC via ipsec, then move files to s3 or glacier via a server in the VPC. Not sure if you could avoid the PUT costs, but you would avoid amazon bandwidth charges with the peering, I think (not 100% sure).

It's actually questionable whether they can produce an electric vehicle that's appealing to the masses at the right price point, and not another Fisker Karma or a Faraday (too soon?).

Tesla's business model follows the idea that electric cars are just giant battery packs sold in nice wrappers with some software thrown on top to drive the thing. Therefore the only way to make money is to enjoy healthy margins on battery packs and software features - the battery pack itself is commoditized.

Does Mercedes have an "in" or any significant buying power in lithium-ion market? If not lithium-ion, do they have a significant R&D investment in any other fields (fuel cells, hydrogen)? Do they have any significant investment into self-driving? They seem to have outsourced that to Uber https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2017/02/02/uber-me... If not self-driving, are there any other software features peculiar to Mercedes vehicles that make them stand out of the crowd?

What are then the significant cost advantages that will allow Mercedes to throw in the luxury salons it's known for and still meet the market's price point? Seems like they're destined to produce either another eGolf (83 mile range, affordable, but next to zero sales) or BMW i7 ($135,700 base).
You know, I'm not currently an Uber customer because their app is too big and I don't have enough spare space on my phone.

I doubt they even thought of the competitor angle. I wouldn't have. Startups don't win by worrying what every new company is doing.

It wasn't a smart decision, but you're acting like they are uploading your entire source code tree. (I think someone even claimed that they were doing this at one point but was later shown to be mistaken.)
Wouldn't it make sense for the file format to just allow svg in addition to others?

eg png is fine, but if a developer wants to include svg then let them.

For developers who do care about the clean, unblurred stroked at arbitrary pixel sizes this wouldn't impact them at all.

For the developers who care more about the space taken up, this would give them a potential useful option.

eBay Classifieds | Sr. Android Engineer | Portland, OR | https://jobs.ebayinc.com/job/portland/sr-android-software-en...

I am the hiring manager who is looking for a Sr. Android engineer to join my team at eBay Classifieds. We are a globally distributed team of 9 engineers out of which 5 are based in Portland, OR(Portland is eBay's mobile hub with hundreds of employees). We strive to innovate and implemented R&D rotations for each engineer where they get to choose to work on anything they like for a full sprint(2 weeks). I am looking for someone who is solid in Android engineering, and who loves the challenge of constantly improving and innovating.

Our team is responsible for 6 apps, some of which are market leaders. For example, Kijiji is Canada's #1 classifieds company: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ebay.kijij...

There are several factors at play. First is that BCH is a hard fork, and thus miners need to actively choose to mine BCH instead of BTC. Exchanges need to add support for BCH. You can also look at hash rates, which show how much mining power is behind either coin. You can also look at transaction rates and exchange rates.

Despite all this, market forces may drive one or the other coin up or down over the next days and months depending on how important the differing features are to the community. It could also turn out that there is a market for both feature sets and they both do well.

So an interpretation to support an ideal despite the optional nature of payment channels, got it. I had ctrl+f "payment channels" and got zero results.

Payment channels, as described by the lightning network, are optional.

The mempool on both chains are practically empty and both chains function the same, until the mempool is full.

One chain will allow for optionally greater throughput via payment channels and possible a block size expansion.

One chain will allow for block propagation upwards of 8 megabytes.

Neither relies exclusively on third parties. The first mentioned chain has an optional ironic future where everyone operates a payment channel and eventually consolidates into one payment channel provider, I guess.

Both chains have other "threats" towards centralization.

It has the momentum and the majority mining (hash) power behind it, which is the most important thing in a cryptocurrency using proof of work. That said, nothing in this life is actually certain, and major flaws in Segwit could be found that cause the power to flip over to BCC and BTC could end up going down the drain. Or both BTC and BCC could lose out to Etherium or the USD or gold. Nobody knows the future, but the easy money is on BTC remaining the lead horse in this race.

I'll agree with you if you explain this: Why is it ok for a website to do it, but not ok for an editor plugin to do it? Just because the content is streamed from a server? That's a rather convenient distinction.

I don't endorse Kite's behavior, but our reaction here is so far over the top that it seems like normal onlookers will start to take us less seriously. We're talking about violations of law and data theft over answering the question "Which language are you editing today?"

One thing that is souring me on RHEL+clones is Red Hat's habit of yanking drivers for SAS and SCSI controller cards. On my home file server, CentOS 7 is the end of the line unless I buy a new HBA.

Then there was the old Dell server at a customer's site that we were planning to use for a development/testing system. It had a perfectly functional PERC/4e RAID controller, but Red Hat yanked the driver in 7.0, never mind that Ubuntu Server works perfectly on the same hardware. We ended up picking up a cheap refurbished desktop to use as the development box.
Not sure if "Linux distros" is the completely right term there. The various *BSD based "ports" systems do similar too.
> makes orphaned blocks more likely, which means that the probability of losing a block that you already successfully mined is increased

A higher orphan rate won't reduce miner profitability. Since everyone would experience the orphaning, the difficulty will stabilize at a lower level and profitability should be the same.
How to claim your BCH offline
Grimd for the DNS blocker!
Man--I like you and I think you are a pretty awesome poster, so I'd like to go through an experiment with you. Upload the filenames of everything you've put through your editor in the last nine months. Pastebin it for me right now (and I say pastebin because I sure have no idea how secure Kite's stuff is so we're gonna be assuming that it's not, yeah?). The request is totally insane, right? Even beyond the pure principle of it, if you did that for half a dozen developers we'll find something you really don't want me to know about, be it business or personal. (Ever use, say, org-mode or vimwiki?)

I'm willing to be strident because heads on pikes are how you ensure this is not repeated in an amplified way. Kite might be dopey, stupid, careless, and mean instead of actively malicious. Doesn't matter. The next one will be if clear lines are not drawn.
I don't know if that's necessarily true. Youtube is to Netflix what Soundcloud is to Spotify. Netflix and Spotify are successful because they charge a small fee to allow users to consume high quality content. Youtube and Soundcloud are both free and allow users to consume community-generated content. This is a bit of a rhetorical question, but why is Youtube so successful when Soundcloud isn't?
I suspect that many people are sending their balances to a new address, so that they can import their old keys into a Bitcoin Cash client.
