You have so many options for storing your Bitcoins which don't even involve trusting that your own internet connection is secure, let alone trusting someone else with your Bitcoins.

We need trustworthy exchanges for buying and selling BTC, but once you have BTC I am not sure why anyone would trust someone else to store them long-term.

I wrote a bayesian document classifier for one project I was working on - in SQL. Training the system took one INSERT and a small word-split function. Classifying the documents took one SELECT. Even in F#, I couldn't have written a more elegant or more performant solution. In a procedural language it would have been a mess of loops and roundtrips. Good SQL is almost a pure description of your desired result, with none of the "this is how you should do it" cruft.

I don't have anything against ORMS - they're almost mandatory due to O-R-impedance mismatch - but too often I see them used instead of operations that should rightly be server-side. And none of US have injection problems, because we're binding our parameters, right? ;-)

Mostly Django user attempting to ask from outside the Node/server-side js community for an explanation of why we're invoking "isomorphic" here:
As far as what's going on, are we just saying that the js for rendering the page is equally capable of talking to the API and doing the DOM work while running on the server as it is when downloaded, interpreted, JIT'd etc before fetching the actual request content? Does this mostly eliminate an extra RTT to the API if the js/web application server experience relatively zero RTT due to network/physical proximity to the API server? Does this incidentally make SEO possible while having fat clients and server-side initialization all in one setting and with mostly one code base?

Assuming I'm on track, working backwards towards understanding the implementation as it relates to "isomorphic", if a program's output state is a valid input state to initialize the program (we're talking fat, stateful MVC clients after all) state, then all that's needed to re-create the entire execution state of the current program is to copy itself into the output in such a way that it will be run upon receipt (we link js files in the page). I'm going to take a wild guess that the output state of the client doesn't have the necessary template tags etc used when a cold page is rendered, server or client-side, so the server has to serialize some of the state and pump it into the copy of the program to make it as if the client we're sending is the client that rendered the page, keeping the client's internal representation consistent with the state of the page.

If this is true, we're taking a program that cannot be initialized from it's own output and modifying it to be a program that achieves the same effect. JS is modifying JS, and is therefore said to be "isomorphic?" It still sounds like a glorified way to describe a serialized execution state, one that happens to involve a program in a language outputting a valid program in the same language, but the purpose is to achieve the effect, as far as the developer is concerned, that the output is a valid input, albeit with an intermediate technique to make the abstraction hold water.

If I'm on track, then I have to say it's rather as if we have a fat client, output of one render, serialized client state (because the DOM is not sufficient to re-create the program state or else our client js has to initialize from one format that's programmer friendly and one that's program-friendly), and necessarily a third-leg responsible for injecting the client js and serialized state as js into the output.

Standing to see the mauve dusk of my life against the impending rain of spears and arrows, I must ask if we can not simply call the js necessary to achieve the equivalent state of running everything client side a "continuation" and call the entire technique "client continuation programming?" with it implicitly understood that creating the continuation involves a third piece of program? I'm prepared to die. I just want to know.

It is actually the right to exclude others from making copies.

It is not an absolute right either. Even the most hardcore maximalists accept that there are some conditions under which that right does not exist, c.f. Jack Valenti's acknowledgement that it would be unconstitutional if the term of copyright was forever.

Unfortunately I think most of it still holds. The underlying psychology of the typical consumer hasn't changed. I think it will take a lot of liquidity to stick around long enough in this market to see the underlying market dynamics shift. This means you either raise a ton of money (at which point the returns don't make sense to anyone except the later stage investors), you run it as a non-profit where you can have a very long runway from grants, or you scale slowly but surely for the next decade before the market catches up. It will happen eventually but I think it will take more like 10 years, not the 4-6 that most VCs need to generate returns.

Great little read. Uniquely portrays the cultural differences between the two schools but more importantly, shows just how different the West vs. East Coast mentality is when it comes to technology startups, products, innovations, etc.

Not saying there isn't much "pure technology" coming out of Stanford (there most certainly is) but you get the feeling that Boston-area startups are wired to find, as Peter Thiel would say, the 0 to 1 markets vs. the 1 to n markets of globalization (the West Coast).

In Boston, there appears to be a bigger emphasis on hi-tech vs. the latest subscription service or cloud provider coming from SV. But the SV culture encourages that, VC's cut checks for products with "traction" and more often than not, skip pure technology (be it medical devices, therapeutics, chemicals, hardware, and hard/expensive/timely ventures).

This is rather unfortunate since we are in need of better startup companies and technologies, and they are in need of funding. There are many reasons for this (one being the "easy way out biz model replication" phenomenon used in the ammonia subscription model example in the post). And another is the lack of talent, particularly great talent going to well-funded SnapChat #4 and other similar, non-groundbreaking companies.

Unfortunately, I don't see the face of venture capital changing much with regards to funding innovative and risky technologies. They of course are wired to big returns on 1/100 social company exits (most at least) and "technology" doesn't really matter (again, to most).

Can you imagine SV putting money into Fairchild Semiconductor or Intel today? Won't happen.

Don't let the excuses of "we infested in Barracuda and Cisco" fool you - the focus is on "how many users do you have for the latest hype driven app on the App Store."

I think the major problem is the lack of risk being taken on great technology vs. the easy way out. AKA, some VCs should grow some balls and invest in the future vs. the very-near future. Being an MBA out of a top-10 school and having check writing power to fund "startups" is also a negative since a lot of these guys know the spreadsheets - NOT the silicon.

But I digress.

Both schools are unique in their culture but share similarities in brilliance. The best outcome is too see great business as marketing intersect with powerful technology. Then we can have real great companies on the horizon again. As a West Coast founder myself, it's actually an honor and a humbling experience to be working with people from both schools and it's clear as day just how different the mindset is.

False. Math phd would probably write O(log n) based on either multiplying [[1,0], [1,1]] matrix or compute it directly for smaller numbers and return the rounded power of golden ratio for higher numbers.

The gap between 'Joe Chucklefuck' and the lead developer for glibc is wide enough to fit a whole lot of people who can triage a bug without necessarily being skilled (or interested) enough to submit patches.

I think describing the phenomenon as 'noise' is reasonable. You find a moderate number of answers with a reasonable degree of certainty as to their accuracy and a large number of answers that are just whatever came to mind first (these aren't necessarily provided by completely distinct groups of people). The result is a lot of almost-but-not-quite-related nonsense that drowns out the answers with any relevant content.

This probably isn't purely a problem of numbers, either. Even attempting to be helpful takes a certain amount of effort that naturally limits the impact of the former group at any particular instant. It's also easy (as evidenced by this very article) to take helpful information and render it non-helpful by repeating it without context.

spot on. MongoDB is a step backwards in abstraction. The RDBMS geeks had this figured out in the 70s. Hence the "relational MODEL" vs "document STORE" transparent step backwards in generalization.

MongoDB is just locking you into a specific materialization of an ill-specified data structure. PostgreSQL's team hacked out JSON support in about a year or so, since they are working at a higher level of abstraction and could insert the "MongoDB model" at the proper place in their system. Now if you really need to store "documents" in your database and query lazily-defined fields you can do that for those edge cases (and lets face it, those are edge cases) and use proper relational modeling for the rest of your model.
It may help rereading the post as it does explain why both are on the list.

You make a great point, which is probably true. By that logic the Internet is also less a revolution than transistors, which I guess it is. Unless we talk about "hidden" vs "obvious" revolutions. Because people don't really know about "transistors", but they do about the Internet, and "use it" every day knowing they do so. So in a way, you could use the argument that the Internet is a more obvious and practical revolution (closer to the end user). Bitcoin could be the same vs the Internet, although I don't think we really need to qualify them like that. They could both be very important.
