People building financial and life support systems should not only learn from their own mistakes, they should (must) also learn from the mistakes of their predecessors. If it takes you ten times to learn how to light a charcoal grill because you're too stubborn to ask for help, that's one thing. When you're dealing with money, you have a responsibility to try a little harder. "Don't put high value ssh keys on a server shared with irc yahoos" should not be a growing pain a financial platform experiences.
This has very little to do with currency regulation, more with banking and security. It's like some guy opening a bank in an old garage with thin plaster walls, simple pin tumbler locks on the doors and regular metal closet as storage for money. One has to be really careless to put one's savings into such bank, and only reason I can imagine why people did that because it was not apparent to them.

Building secure publicly accessible website that can store bitcoins is very hard. Almost all common software has multiple vulnerabilities, and the fact that stealing bitcoins once system is compromised is trivial, and, as I understand, irreversible (unlike breaking into bank website, for example, but like breaking into bank vault with cash) - this makes such task super-hard. I would be very suspicious about any professional that is not properly intimidated by such task. I'm not saying it's not doable at all - probably can be done, but if somebody claimed he did it I'd ask for a lot of proof before I give him my money.
That's why people with significant amount of real money usually store it in properly secured and insured banks and similar institutions, not in a locker rented from some guy they never met. Unless, of course, they can't go into a bank for some reason - like having problems with The Law.

It's unfortunate that the author used the term "micromanagement". I realize it is to make the subject provocative and thereby capture readers, but it will also produce such a negative visceral reaction that the key take-aways will be missed:

1. The best leaders are capable of adding value to other people's jobs. You don't necessarily need to be able to do their job, but you need to be able to stand next to them.

2. There are times you need to step in and demand more detail to find out what is really going on.

3. Good leaders have the [skill|experience|6th sense] to know when they need to do that versus trusting their employees. Sometimes it may be never, sometimes it may be always.

4. Good leaders can do the above without losing themselves in the minutia of trying to do other peoples' jobs for them (or telling them what to do).

Perhaps "If you don't know the details, you can't effectively lead" would be better.
Predictable. And a few months ago when they said they were going to fly drones those who brought up weaponization were called insane conspiracy loons.
This is more of a story of how executives of large companies lose touch with customers and their raw business because they also have to manage strategically as well as management the entire business portfolio.

Doctors excuses
A fake doctor’s note is the right choice if you are feeling overworked, and physical and mentally exhausted. You feel that the quality of your work is suffering. You work hard, and yet the only time off you are able to obtain are vacation days.This seems grossly unfair. The majority of people are not eager to use a fake doctor’s excuse simply because they can, or out of a desire to see if they can get away with it. Most often, it is the only way people can take some time off work to rest or solve a problem.Need a note? We’ve searched the These are the best you will find ANYWHERE on the net. Nothing even comes close.

Comically, many of Bitcoinica's customers were those who sent funds to the service to be able to go short (bet against) bitcoins.

They should. If the customer is no longer interested, and expressed it clearly by asking to be placed to DNC list, they should respect it. There's a lot of software out there that makes it as easy as clicking one button, or even easier - you open your CRM software and see big red "ASKED TO BE PLACED ON DNC" all over the record, and you know it didn't work out, time to move on. Of course, some salesmen may ignore that hoping they can persuade the client to reconsider, but then that's where $500 comes into play.

Sidharta Aryan Interview, Part 3 of 3
One of the things that makes a public website that deals with bitcoins secure is that it SHOULDN'T store them, or at least not an amount worth stealing.

Bitcoinica lost a huge amount of coins in March (more than this time) because they stored their wallet online, you shouldn't do this, use cold storage.

OK, Bitcionica do use cold storage, just that their hot wallet was pretty bloody big.

SproutCore JS Framework domain now points to squat page

I'd start with a website. Important is that you give yourself small tasks, just learning from books and doing exercises is boring and you learn often too much which isn't relevant. I wouldn't do mobile development either: the learning curve is too steep and you face a fragmented landscape.

An example path:

1. Build a plain web page without anything (and learn HTML, CSS)

2. Build more: a web site with multiple pages and little dynamics (and learn a backend language/system like Python or Node.js with Javascript)

3. Build a blog with more dynamic content (and learn a web framework like Django for Python or Express for Node.js and how to use them with a database like MongoDB or MySQL)

I would start with plain HTML, CSS and later learn Javscript, then a little Node.js and then Express and MongoDB as database => that's the quickest way how to get things quickly done and to learn why and how things work. And you have basically to just learn three languages: HTML, CSS, JS and if you like some simple dialects (like Stylus instead of CSS and Jade instead of HTML). Or if you have some basic dev skills already just jump into Node and Express, you will have very soon first results.

I wouldn't start with something too much 'magic' involved. Magic = abstraction that you do not understand anymore. Ruby on Rails is an example: you learn tons of conventions, see magic everywhere but won't have a clue for a very long time why and how things work and thus, you just learn conventions and won't learn really to code. Ruby on Rails can be very frustrating: you do Rails for three months and are still not quick or productive and then you think it's your fault or you can't code (but it's Rails with its magic, conventions and increased complexity where actual coding is a very small part). Don't get me wrong: setting up a site with Rails can be done in few minutes but customizing it without knowing how Rails works (and even if you know how Rails work) can be a real pain. With Rails you learn how to effectively glue things together, Rails ecosystems provides thousands of great and mature gems waiting to be glued together.

I guess my main point was that from my personal experience, writing less code and writing clean code leads to less bugs.

"What you got is a lawless currency"
Laws are for people, not currency.
Property and contract laws still apply even with different currencies. The fact that the surrounding infrastructure is still being built can be frowned upon, but this has nothing to do with laws.

And yes, it is like real money. In fact it's even more like real money then what most people use daily. Bitcoin properties are almost the same as precious metals, making it much more money-like than a fiat currency. (On which we build our bank accounts and, as yet another layer, various credit tools. At the end of the day, you start to be quite far away from "real money".) Now, if such a thing is desirable is another question entirely. Nevertheless, Bitcoin is money.

Why does he mention the "No Silver Bullet" paper?

Oh, how I hate that paper: it is pure speculation (Nobody has any idea what complexity is actually essential and what accidental), and it seems to ignore the fact that the past of programming sports a couple of silver bullets already. Saying the past had silver bullets but there are no silver bullets left to be found is like saying we've already invented all things, and there are no more patents to file.
I'm using Tornado instead of Flask. When I was evaluating Flask vs. Tornado, I found Tornado to be much faster than Flask. More importantly, Tornado is much more straightforward. I actually prefer putting all URL in one place (tornado) instead of using those @route decorators(flask,bottle). On Flask, if you want to write anything more complex than HelloWorld or ToDo, you use something called blueprint, which is not easy (at least for me) to understand.
Do you have another dev team that you can demo the product for or do reciprocal demos? It might boost morale if it is shown to people who would be interested in the technical merit.

I've noticed that on the business side, people have sometimes made their career through whining and complaining. They will never be satisfied because not saying anything or being satisfied looks bad. The game is that they complain, and you respond. If you respond then that person has displayed control over you and your team and the person's status is enhanced. Going skunkworks is going to cause problems if these people know about it because they want a venue so they can play the game.

If you are going "dark" , you need to get them to forget about your team's major focus. Start a high visibility decoy project that doesn't suck up a lot of time. Honestly it does not matter to the game players if it is a single page web site or complex business engine, their reaction will be the same.

In the meantime, start putting obvious ducks into your sprints for them to complain about, then remove the duck after the demo is over.

Foregoing discussion because something "just shouldn't happen" is not really the best way forwards. It would be if everybody clearly agreed on what should be, but people clearly don't.

For what it's worth I actually agree with your premise: I would like the police's capabilities limited as well. However, part of being rational is questioning weak arguments regardless of whether they support your point or not.

Just taking your conclusion as an axiom with no support is not particularly conducive to reasoned discourse. (This is why arguing religion with the truly devout is rather difficult--God is axiomatic to them.)

Logic is the best tool we have--save perhaps for the scientific method--to make decisions. It's worth maintaining regardless of the issue in question.

So yes--there always need to be shades of gray. Reasonable people reasonably disagree on almost every issue, because basically no nontrivial issue that isn't contrived is entirely obvious.

Perhaps you are fundamentally correct and your arguments stronger--I certainly think so. But this does not mean the issue should not be discussed. I've been wrong before!

Anyhow, I've gone well off-topic now, and I'm typing this on a cell phone. I think discussion is always useful, and it took me an absurd number of words to say that, do I'll say no more.

Schrage outlined how examples of how to manage crisis situations, not micromanagement.

If a manager does not delegate then he/she is not busy enough. That said, one needs to have a thorough understanding of the work of all subordinates, whether technical or not, in order to understand how to quickly ameliorate circumstances that deviate from an anticipated course.

The lesson here is that managers needs to be involved, at a high level, early and often to catch onerous situations before they evolve.
I don't think it's a good idea if you target developers :

1- Trading expensive bandwidth for a cheap storage isn't economically logical.

2- Any web developer should understand how web works and he should be comfortable with ftp, apache/nginx/iis, git(/mercurial), etc...
