A trivial solution would be to increase the block size, but unfortunately Bitcoin Core developers refuse to do it, under the pretext that it will "increase centralization". In reality, a reasonable (2-4×) increase wouldn't. The amortized cost of running a full node able to support 2-4 times larger blocks is only $5 per month (http://blog.zorinaq.com/full-node-on-5-dollars/). The block propagation delay has also largely been solved with Compact Blocks which transmit a nominal 1MB block in ~20kB. Also, at least 2 on-chain scaling technologies are being developed that would easily let us increase block sizes: UTXO commitment sets can reduce long-term blockchain storage by 50×, and Graphene reduces the size of a 1MB broadcasted block by another order of magnitude, down to ~2kB.
Not settled is the key. If there's a gray area then efforts like this aim to exploit that, until it's settled. And then they'll move on to finding the next loop hole.
Hey really sorry about that, there are a variety of dismissal methods you can choose from including shake dismissal, qr scan, barcode scan and a simple stop button as well as this color tap. That dismissal method is just the one I went with for the screenshot, but there is something for everyone.

I'm also looking in to giving users the option to change the color combination because I've received this feedback from two people now. If you have any suggestions for colors that would work for you please let me know and I'll add them to my trello board
I wonder if the developer would consider selling the game to another developer or studio.

7 * 500 ~= $3,500

It didn't go viral due to his very short runway, he could sell the game, or get a partner that could pay him for a stake in the company or game or something.

I always wanted to do game development (I've built a few toys in my spare time) buying ownership of a game could be fun, and I could take on the sales, and marketing, and web design and whatever else.
You’re right that they are somewhat different, but presumptuous as I am talking about both. I am aware of work being done today that will have affects viewing 3D movies in theaters. The article here also didn’t distinguish between headsets and theaters, it incorrectly declared all 3D dead.
There's also ccons: https://github.com/asvitkine/ccons which as far as I can tell is C only, but I find the codebase much easier to follow.
Theoretically yes, but what they didn't tell you is that all those particles travelling through will completely lose all their information and order how they belong together. So please dear sci-fi authors stop with these ridiculous plots.
They're referring to the application developer.

If the developer uses Electron only to open the application's own html files and doesn't render user-provided HTML anywhere, then there won't be any XSS vulnerabilities.
It's not about money. If it cost twice that to move to Macs I think people would be celebrating.
The problem with FTC is that they have an awful track record of handling such issues. FCC's NN rules while being incomplete actually managed to fix real abuse such as interconnection slowdown by Verizon and others.

Pushing it to FTC would simply let this whole thing rot away, while following a formality. The problem of course is simply the fact that whole anti-trust regulation in US is messed up.
From the second screenshot, the transaction value was 0.003857 BTC.
From the guy's post, he transferred 0.003853 BTC. From the first screenshot, BitPay is saying he underpaid by 0.000004 BTC which would seem to be...100% correct?

I mean, obviously Bitcoin is a pretty silly way to buy a game on Steam, but this seems to be 100% user error.

...well, probably. There's some key info missing here, but this seems highly suggestive:

"BitPay emailed me saying I underpaid by 3 cents at the time, and said to refund me. I checked the price of bitcoin 0.003853 btc in usd is around $31 which was a lie on their part."

No, they said he underpaid by 0.000004 BTC. And the number he was googling is, coincidentally, 0.000004 BTC lower than the transaction value in his screenshot, so...
It's actually worse than that. Cities have different water districts and often wealthier areas will receive better water than no-wealth areas. Instead of different prices, everyone pays the same but gets a different product.

The same is generally true for police, fire, and emergency services ("911 is a joke in your town").

A 25 GB pruned Ethereum node is the same as a Bitcoin full node. A pruned Ethereum node is one that has pruned all intermediate states (the state refers to all account balances at a given block), which Bitcoin full nodes don't store (Bitcoin full nodes only keep a copy of the latest block's state, Ethereum full nodes keep a copy of every block's state).

So a pruned Ethereum node and a Bitcoin full node both have the entire transaction history and the current state.

The point is blaming “capitalism” is throwing out the baby with the bath water. Look at Scandinavia for capitalist societies with a high level of social support and environmental protections. And on the other hand look at true socialist societies like Cuba and Venezuela where hunger and pollution still exists.

The reason why 3D doesn't work is that it is not 3D. Instead it is some strange kind of 2.5D where you have what is essentially a topologically 2D manifold embedded in 3D space.

This means that you cannot look around things, or change occlusion by moving your head around. As others have mentioned, you also cannot change your focus. Until 3D becomes actual 3D, it will always ring hollow.

It's possible that Oculus may be the platform that achieves true 3D, but I suspect until we arrive at a place where the "holodeck" is a fully functional universe, we won't get there.

I find it amazing that there’s any reasonably intelligent person left in the world who can so dramatically underestimate the wanton interventionism of the Chinese government.

Every packet in and out of that country is monitored. The state can and will impose any arbitrary regulation on any corporation at any time. People literally disappear if they start making too much noise.

And now, entities within the country are amassing a substantial and effectively unassailable combined position in a major new asset class and possible alternative monetary system, and you think the Chinese government WON’T one day manipulate that to their own advantage?

But aren't they referred to as enemy combatants because calling the POWs entitles them to rights and process that as ECs can be denied to them. This is also why they are not kept on US soil, yes?

Open source is a huge achievement. The sheer diversity, wealth and value of the ecosystem is priceless. A true achievement of our times and Stallman and all the pioneers deserve a gigantic kudos.

It's whatever the last generation of 3D LG Smart TVs was, don't know what model, sorry. But there are settings for depth of 3D and smart 3d object detection and so on (I don't use that). Either way, it feels way more 3D than anything I've seen in a cinema.

At the very very least, it has never distracted me from the the viewing experience. So I don't understand the widespread revulsion for it.
For most organisations traditional tools like IDEs, version control systems, logging and monitoring should indeed suffice. A great IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA and a tool like GitLab help a lot when it comes to keeping track of source code dependencies and deployments.

Having a tool that visualises all dependencies in one place is nice to have but it shouldn't be essential to run a system.

If you're running a larger number of services service discovery and properly naming services is vital rather than being able to visualise them.

That's of course total nonsense, as everybody should experienced a good 3D movie or immersive VR games can testify. Of course some parts are true, the rules are totally different in 3D.
Immersion totally trumps everything else, edges, movement, depth. Too fast is deadly, but reaction time is everything, in VR.
3D is by far more immersive than 2D. It's not like good VR, but still much better than conventional 2D.

I'm a javascript engineer that does recruiting in NYC/SF (I've wound down a bit to work on a SaaS product for recruiters) and I've been meaning to blog about my experiences. Preface: YMMV greatly based on location. I was able to sign my 1st client and match a candidate within 1 month of starting (albeit I had a small network of engineering managers from working in SV).

Working part-time for the first 6 months I averaged 3 placements/mo, weighted towards the latter period of that time frame as I got better & partnered with a recuriting firm to boost # of clients. I took no salary and took home 45%-100% of the fee based on whether it was a client of my own or not and revenue goals I hit in my partnership. 10% + €3000 seems low for an experienced recruiter.

For client fees, I started with 20% of yearly base salary contract- I now only sign 25% contracts. I only do perm matches, never got into the contracting/freelance game.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have additional questions.
I have always been curious if all the people saying they don't like 3D actually experience the discomfort they describe or just want to look fancy like old wine geeks. I myself have watched just 2 movies in 3D: Avatar and Resident Evil: Afterlife - both of them looked visually awesome and caused absolutely no discomfort to me. I would certainly love to watch Interstellar and Blade Runner 2049 in 3D, that's a huge pity that's not possible.
Maybe not to the customer, but it matters in general because Bitpay and others are pushing Bitcoin Cash as a solution to this on the basis that it has lower fees because of its bigger block size (also because no-one is using it, so the blocks are almost always far below the Bitcoin block size). They likely stiffed him on the transaction fees for the return transaction too; the Bitcoin client's recommended fees are already on the conservative side, and they charged more.

> In Javascript you have the option to gradual type into Typescript which offers much better static typing than Go. So I wouldn't be too dismissive.

It's not reasonable to switch from a language that gives you type safety in ~95% of cases to a language that gives you type safety in 0% of cases but which provides an easier transition to a type-safe language. This is why I'm dismissive.

> Also, the "just write Node-like code in Go" isn't a solution at all. You're back to fitting a square peg in a round hole.

You're wrong here. I read and write lots of Go code, and it's perfectly idiomatic to write single-threaded, asynchronous code. In fact, I'd probably do just this for his application, modulo a thin compatibility layer to deal with the fact that net/http spins up a goroutine for each request.
Why do so many people think the alternative to our current system is to be Venezuela?

Economic policies form a spectrum of trade-offs, balancing needs and priorities of different socioeconomic groups and legal entities.

It seems to me that people are either (a) brainwashed into thinking that way so that they accept massive inequality as the inevitable cost of avoiding economic collapse and misery, or (b) using such an argument disingenuously to support their own advantage or emotional attachment to a particular worldview.

Whatever the reason, it makes the speaker look silly and stifles serious debate.

The real question is “how do we make things better?” The free market policies of the last few decades have made plenty of things worse. Let’s try to improve the state of some of those things.
Actually the main reason they lost $10 would seem to be the fact they transferred the wrong amount of BTC.

>>that seems like a liberterian cop-out, and it doesn't take into account that it takes time and energy to do due diligence, most people are naive and can't do due diligence, and there's a huge incentive for ICO founders to lie, which creates an asymmetry of information.

People learn surprisingly quickly. A consumer base has a sort of collective wisdom that evolves as it gains experiences. Years ago, people would trust fly by night Bitcoin wallets that store the bitcoin client-side, and numerous scams and hacks cost people hundreds of thousands of bitcoin as a result.

Now everyone stays away, even new users, because only highly secure and reputable wallets that store cryptocurrency client side, or credible exchanges with cold-storage, are recommended on all major information portals, and everyone (including any likely first contact point for a new cryptocurrency user) strongly warns users to avoid storing their cryptocurrency on untrusted websites.

Advice from a 19 Year Old Girl and Software Developer
As has been stated, the problem is that the eye is focused on a 2D surface, but the brain has to interpret stereoscopic data.

In real life you can normally look round a scene, focusing on objects of different distances as desired. But with a 3D film you can’t. You can’t look at an object which seems to be nearby and have it come into focus, as the camera may be focused elsewhere. And by trying to focus on something which isn’t there, everything else goes out of focus as well, confusing the brain and causing the migraines and nausea some people have.

Also the 3D glasses don’t fit over my normal glasses, leading to a really awkward experience.

I don’t think 3D films will be truly successful until we have light field or holographic displays, where you can focus on anything at will.

It will also mean developing a new visual language for this kind of film, where the viewer can decide where to look, rather than be guided by the filmmakers.

It’ll be exciting, and these kind of films will hopefully look quite different to what we see now.
Combination washer/dryers tend to be smaller it’s also a pain in the arse to separate not only by color and programme but also by what can then go into the dryer and what can’t and at what temperature you can set the dryer too to avoid damaging the fabric and shrinkage.

Laundry is by far the most annoying thing luckily plenty of places around me offer 5 shirts for £5-7, so outside of T-shirt’s and underwear I don’t wash most of my daily clothes anything else is dry clean only.

Sports clothes I’ve started simply drying quickly and freezing them overnight in a bag my running clothes like it much better.
I don’t need to buy new under armor leggings shirt and running jackets every 2 months now that I don’t run them through the washer and dryer cycle more than once every 8-10 days.
Open source software often makes use of the wisdom of the crowds to move forward, and when those crowds are in average less prepared, the results are comparably bad.

See the top answer for this question in StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5062614/how-to-decide-wh... . The top answer with 1360 upvotes is wrong and had little to do with the question. This is a recurrent thing in the node world.

seeing as most of the scenes in major action films are 100% computer generated.

30-40 years of development. I was alluding to VIM or emacs, and even they still suck immensely on the GUI front. The emacs TUI and GUI is embarrassing for something that had access to async features for so long, and VIM frontends are only progressing in the immense speed their are because of Neovim and the clean separation they made of the logic and the UI.
Electron is not really fast, nor does it generate great GUIs. It's much younger than Qt, only four years old. It's not frequently updated, it uses an insecure version of the Chromium browser. So... not all positives can be applied.

In fact none can be applied except ease of use and it's about the same, until the app grows and one realizes that the typical JS architecture is as easy to structure as a pile of mush.

Electron supporters are really taking the piss in this thread. Slapping together a bunch of statements which can be easily disproved doesn't qualify as an argument.
