You're entitled to your opinion. But I've personally met two of three team members. So these or not phantom people, trying to take your money.

Paypal doesn't seem to have any problems taking money for "shady" people and just refusing to pay out. In my mind, that makes Paypal shady - and not the people that use it.
I don't agree with that. They kind of emphasise that they want people using donation buttons and unless you are going into the ToS and looking (which I'm sure 99.99% of people don't) you wouldn't know that.

"later in the evening she fainted from exhaustion and woke up blind. It took the longest two minutes of all our lives for her eyesight to return fully, and she developed shakes like I’ve never seen, which we couldn’t stop"

“I was mid-conversation and my nose started to bleed uncontrollably, blood was gushing. I completely freaked out”

“Physically, he looked rough, says Charles. He was completely exhausted, his cheeks were pasty and grey, and his body was exhibiting clear signs of sleep deprivation.”

“One friend tried the drug just once, and was plagued by serious, mind numbing headaches. Another couldn’t sleep for two days, despite spending 8 hours in bed per night trying."

I will accept goats and chickens before I accept Bitcoin. 99% of people have never even heard of it. I am pretty certain that 100% of my customers have never heard of it. Not worth my time.
This is a transcript of a radio interview (thanks to @marcedwards) about it:

and Marc Edwards's comment from the bottom, which I agree with completely:

So the plan is to get every single OS maker and internet-connected device maker to install pervasive, opt-out software that has access to all network traffic. Yeah, good luck with that technically, ethically or logistically.
Bitcoin is a protocol that gives you as much privacy as you want. You can use one-time addresses both for sending and receiving, which gives you more privacy than using Paypal or credit cards directly.
Yes that's a fair point.

But it's worth noting that the conservative side of politics in Australia has had this problem for a while, and has a perfectly workable solution.

The Liberal/National coalition has often held power, and yet Liberals & Nationals run against each other in elections.

There are similar examples in other countries too.

Coalitions are interesting because once the minor party has a role in government their views cannot be ignored so easily.

Also possible, their algorithms are incorrectly linking data from another person's records. Still a good idea to check, of course.
The difference is you have the option to offer buyer protection or not offer it with Bitcoin.

With Credit Card companies and their proxies, Stripe, PayPal, etc. there is no option of choosing a buyer protection service provider which meets your needs (unless you consider strict to extremely strict a choice).

Buyer protection isn't always a good thing. Often it is a hindrance to progress. Merchants should be able to chose the level of buyer protection they want to offer.
It's almost certainly "Celeron J1850". The specs line up perfectly (10W TDP, 2.0 GHz clockspeed, 4 cores).
But with Bitcoin, if you trust the merchant/recipient you can opt out of using escrow and transfer the money directly to him. With Paypal it's impossible.
It's a new currency that is not artificially stabilized by any government, so it's only natural that it has some wild fluctuations. If you don't like big gains just avoid holding BTC and you'll be fine.

As derefr said, there are many third party processors who will handle the Bitcoin for you and wire you the cash directly as soon as you receive Bitcoin payment. Or you can do it yourself and sell your BTC as soon as you get them.
Yes you are right that it is not 'true' two-factor authentication. It would certainly be more secure if all my users were able and willing to use something like Google Authenticator. However, I suspect that most of my users (who are not especially computer literate) would prefer the simplicity of writing down 4 words over having to install and configure an two-factor app on their phone.

You say, "it's not much more difficult to crack two passwords than one" but I don't see how that is the case if the second password is four words chosen at random from a dictionary of say 5000 words. Such a password is far more difficult to crack than the average password chosen by the average user. Having a second passphrase generated by a computer also eliminates the problem of users re-using the same password between sites, or choosing "letmein" or "password1" as a password.
True if you're only interested in getting there as fast as possible. For most people who choose to drive from coast to coast, stopping often to see random things is part of the fun and reason they chose to drive in the first place.

It's free. If you could get gasoline for 200 miles for free, would you mind waiting for 30 minutes? I guess it's $25-30 worth of gasoline, corresponding to $50-60 per hour of waiting. I could wait.

Supposing the Justice Department has committed a crime:

- What laws have been broken?

- What individuals broke those laws?

- What punishments are appropriate?

- Who decides who is guilty?

- Who gives out those sentences?

- Where will the criminals be held?

Additionally, is the President at liberty to override them?

If all else fails, would it be possible for the people to set up their own courts outside of the Justice Department for this purpose?

That's only true if one has access to data at every point in the block chain. If at some point coins go to a private person or company that didn't advertise their address anywhere you're lost. There's no way to know who own a Bitcoin address if it's not part of any online service/exchange and was funded by someone else.

Out of the dozens of times I've purchased with Bitcoins I have never been ripped off.

Buy from reputable companies or use an escrow service.

A homeless guy asked me for my car keys the other day. He said he'd clean the inside of my car and bring me the keys. I didn't give him my keys. Something tells me you would have.
I've recently installed RCS on a Windows host for versioning my .emacs file, and I rely on Emacs VC to drive the tool.

On Solaris hosts, including locked-down "production", I use SCCS to version my dot-files because it's available by default. For development I use SVN (old too by today's standards).

I don't advocate using these old tools over modern alternatives; however I find their simplicity in the above cases to be beneficial.
What strikes me as really disappointing here is that the person has no idea why PayPal has frozen their account. It's surprising to me that they don't understand the inherent risks to PayPal from a kickstarter program (how dare they ask me for my business plan?!). In this post at least it seems like they just think PayPal doesn't like them and wants to hold their money for a long time. I guess they should have done more reading up around the financial side of a kickstarter.

And PayPal is clearly at fault that this person is so confused and upset too. How hard is it for them to say "In the past, we have seen crowd funding sites/services that never delivered anything. That resulted in a lot of unhappy end users going to their credit card companies and initiating a chargeback which we're on the hook to pay. As you can see, if you took the money from your account and disappeared we'd be on the hook for that entire $X. That's why it's important we understand more about what you're up to"

It would be ideal if this happened pre account/money collecting but I don't know all the details around that (Perhaps this is a long term account used for "normal" credit card processing who then decided, without informing PayPal, to run a Kickstarter. Who knows)
"Psychological projection was conceptualized by Sigmund Freud in the 1890s as a defense mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world."

In other words, we think out own code is "shit" so instead of dealing with that, psychologically, we just attack others.

> all you need is that a judge decides that Bitcoin is money

And then what, do I need to sue every time someone stiffs me? That would be a colossal waste of time and money, which means in practice that the fraud gets away with it – knowing they might not even have the funds to pay me.

The way it works now is, if I’m not satisfied and the merchant isn’t being reasonable, I can call my credit card company and request a chargeback. No lawyers and courts needed.
It will be until we form a group large enough to have pull like the ACLU (500k members) or the NRA (5M members).

The grassroots opposition to ACTA and SOPA were effective for round one, but we will lose in the long run unless get serious about organizing.

The EFF (eff.org) is a good start, but it needs more members.

Our tech-freedoms lobby could have the same model as the NRA and ACLU, lots of members to give it a clear mandate when lobbying and cash flow from effected industries for fighting legal battles.

Just imagine if we had a group with the weight of the NRA.

This is PR, so spinning the charge time as nothing more than a good opportunity to grab a bite to eat is smart. One assumes that the charging stations are located in places with a variety of nearby amenities for this purpose?

To me the fact that any journey would have to be planned with charging stations as waypoints is more obnoxious than the actual stopping itself.
Just because you have potential does not guarantee you use it.

Many businesses started on iOS first, producing an Android version as an afterthought by contractors. Others produced a minimum viable product which made them money, so they felt no need to iterate. This means upstart competitors can easily take away the market share of established products. It's a good thing for startups.

""jdtwbv" hashed using scrypt is stronger than "H.*W8Jz&r3" hashed using MD5"

Is it? I'm not sure.

for the first one you're using lowercase letters (and digits, I'm giving you that 'free')

For the first one we have 36^6
For the second one (all printables) 100^9

Relation between them: ~ 459,393,658. If you're saying scrypt is 100M times better, in this case the second one is safer

And the relation is important but less as computers get faster. Option B may take 1Mi times as long as Option A but if Option A takes 1 microsecond, there goes your Option B as well
Which makes sense. They don't want you to be able to turn too fast.

Libraries are bastions of the idea that information is free and an inalienable right. The internet is basically a library at your fingertips.

While fraud was a big deal for PayPal, based on reading The Paypal Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_PayPal_Wars) network effects, good early customer engagement and the fact that the dotcom bust killed everyone else's funding were also pretty important.

Everyone keeps saying that fraud will be a serious problem for Stripe, but they move a huge amount of money now which is probably comparable to the period when PayPal nearly got destroyed by fraud - which was around the year 2000 when the web was a lot smaller.
You seem to be saying that people who believe in evolution mostly got there by careful evaluation of the evidence and critical thinking.

I think you're wrong about that. Most people's opinions, on most things, are not particularly well thought out.

All of us, you and me included, are walking around with wrong ideas we picked up as received wisdom or that help us fit in with our social group.

Seizing on creationism and trying to make it into something uniquely awful indicating failures of intelligence or character that most people don't have, is likely a socially motivated error in itself.
I don't know why people expect to be able to play this with a keyboard. It's designed for a certain input paradigm. Play it with the same or face the impedance mismatch. Nobody complains that wii bowling is unplayable with a GameCube controller.
> How is the publicly elected government planning curriculum somehow less indoctrination than a parent doing the same?

Unless the parents' house has 200+ kids in it and equally numerous teachers, then their children will often be exposed to a wider range of viewpoints in a school.

I also don't fully understand how being publicly elected affects the curriculum. Reading into the curriculum being taught is very tinfoil-hat. Many teachers are still largely autonomous, and while they must meet certain standards, are free to teach cursory information of their choosing.

My car asks for 91 octane fuel. I have no idea where I'm supposed to get that when all I see is 87, 89, and 93. Since it's an Italian-designed car, I was expecting that 91 is a common European designation. Perhaps not?
I think the farfetched idea is; PayPal wants a stake in it if it happens but can't endorse it by publicly talking about it.So using eBay's brand makes more sense.

The books that I read when I was homeschooled did a good job of explaining evolution while also presenting counter-arguments for creationism and intelligent design. When I went to public high school I didn't notice any gaps in my knowledge when compared to the rest of my biology class.

I'm wondering what you think of that; is that different from what you meant by swapping out science lessons or is it close enough in your eyes? Do you think my experience was the exception to the rule when it comes to homeschoolers? How do you know what most homeschoolers teach? (I'm honestly curious; not just trying to argue with you.)
I don't see it as a code culture problem, or hell, even a problem in itself. It's a dude issue. Dudes can be judgmental, and if not held back by some corporate culture, if not applying filters of courteousness and being the better man, or by simply being in a certain environment where certain behaviour is frowned upon, things like this will appear.

On the one side, it's a bad thing. On the other, it's stereotypical dudely behavior, and should be made fun of. "This is shit!" is, from my point of view, a way to observe that code 'feels' off, and an exclamation of frustration in that the reader can't understand it right away - and apparently doesn't have or can't take the time needed to dig in and understand it deeper.

I often go for gut feelings in judging code (this is shit!) too, so I can understand. I can understand the frustration too when one can't spend the time to understand and fix it - besides, someone else wrote it, someone else should fix it.

tl;dr, it's complicated. If someone exclaims "this is shit", go and investigate. Sit / pair with the person, walk through the code - or even better, if possible, find the person that wrote it - and either make it unshit, or make the person making the observation understand why it's not shit.

> they collectively are shouldering a much bigger risk than paypal in that transaction.

No, they are not. Financially, PayPal is the one shouldering the biggest risk.

Edit:
> No and no. They're a payment provider,

They most likely have legal obligations in various jurisdictions and with the credit card providers to do due diligence. And looking at business plans and how payments like this will be used is an important part of that. Try getting the same funding directly from a bank rather than going through a middleman and see what they ask for.

Every time a PayPal story comes up, I'm always reading at how the people are innocent and everything is fine, and yet, they are doing something shady.

Here you have an organization that's effectively asking for donations to support a project, but it's not, from what I can tell, certified as a non-profit.

So suddenly yes, that does become high risk. Any banker in the world is going to look at this scenario and know that it's high risk.

I was talking about fraud, which is a lot broader than "I bought something on Amazon and something went wrong". If you fall into a ponzi scheme, a credit card won't save you.

> I think adding a few characters to the minimum password would be equally secure

Do you mean saying to the user, "your password must be at least 12 characters long"? That would just result in the user adding "12345" to the end of their standard password. Still seems much easier to crack than 4 random words.

> Also, 2FA might be easier than you think using a service like Twilio.

It might be easy for me to set up, but for my users (who are mostly non-technical) it is still relatively painful to install and set up a two-factor authentication app. I think most of my users would prefer the write-down-four-words option, even if it is a little less secure.

> you probably don't want to make it any harder than it needs to be

OK, so the question is, "does it need to be harder than the standard login form of username and password field?". Since my system deals with sensitive financial data, and given the problems with allowing users to pick their own password, I would say the answer is "Yes"
