>He got the bitcoins at today's price + $50

That part only happened after many people criticized the original response: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6930109)

> Edit: your bitcoin credit has now been processed. It looks like as we were performing server upgrades last week a handful of jobs didn't run as normal. We should have certainly caught it and responded sooner so that was our fault. My deepest apologies for the delay and trouble on that. We've credited $50 worth of bitcoin to your account for the trouble, as a small way of saying thank you for bearing with us.

This was understood to mean that Coinbase would honor the original price (868.91) and not the current price. The general impression was that Coinbase made the purchase at the current price (roughly 550) and is honoring the other price (868.91), which would mean that OP lost about (868.91-550)*40 = 12756.40 (and Coinbase would be pocketing the difference).

People correctly noted that Coinbase's move was entirely inappropriate, and they were forced to change course (note the "Edit2"):

> Edit2: we'll push through the bitcoin credit at today's price instead of the original buy price (which should be in your favor) since the mistake was on our part.

The general policy with most financial firms is that firm errors should be resolved in a way that benefits the customer (so in this case, if BTC actually increased in price, Coinbase should honor the original trade price)
You could say the same thing about the dot com scene around 2000. It was overvalued, but that doesn't mean it had no value.

Actually none of the sub-questions you asked matter in this case.

The researchers already functionally conducted an AB study - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-subject_research#A-B . In this case, they saw behavior with the machine turned on that went away when they turned the machine off. If they want to confirm that some aspect of the machine (and it doesn't matter if it's noise, smell, light, or some mousey-sense that we are completely unaware of) they could extend it to an ABAB study, by turning the machine on, noting the incidence of 'crazy' behaviors over a period of time, then turning it off again and noting the incidence of 'crazy' behaviors.

Sounds like your phone's borked in some way.

That happens to me sometimes (1 in 10?) when bringing in legacy settings on to a new device.

I've helped upgrade several 4 (not 4s) users and they're happy. On all of them I turned off motion, turned off blur, turned off background updates, turned off auto music/app/updates downloads.

If a phone still has slowness, it's usually a bad setting brought forward. Seems to usually be in email or network settings.

I delete email accounts, reset network settings, and recreate email accounts, leaving iCloud as Push and all others as Fetch, Manual.

If that doesn't fix, I try again, this time "Erase all settings". (Not Content and settings.)

These are the same steps I use to get back battery life losses. Something goes wrong, runs in background, kills batt and slows phone.

Finally, one friend has Downcaster and always ends up with a full phone. Below a level of free memory the device definitely slows drastically. Touch and wait kind of slow, less than 2GB on 64GB device is noticeable, less than 500MB get to be a real problem.

Aww, you guys are so cute. You think banks have this stuff under control? Auditors will "find" hundreds of millions of dollars of missing assets on the regs.

Typically, when you open a secure shell (SSH) connection your client is connecting to a SSH server running on the target machine. A reverse shell occurs when the server initiates a connection with a client that is listening - for example, you have access to a shell to run commands on a target computer (usually through a command injection vulnerability in a website). This means you don't have a full shell - just the ability to run arbitrary commands.

You open a reverse shell which instructs your target computer which is running a SSH server to connect to your client, which allows you to now have a full featured shell at your hands.

> It's a shame Git doesn't have any tools to enforce that distinction.

Because, by design, Git can't ever know. Example one: a read-only repo can be fully cloned, meaning that all the branches therein should technically be "public". But the cloned repo is read-only so there's no way to add metadata to its branches. Example two: a developer "publishes" her entire repo to a wholly private offsite remote at the end of each day as a backup mechanism. All branches should be marked "public", but that would be wrong since they weren't exposed to any other person. I've recently worked in a shop where all <name>/<topic> branches in the main repo were considered logically private unless by prior agreement. Publishing was defined as merging to master; rebasing a logically private branch was perfectly OK (and frequently mandatory).

More to the point: it's not git's job to be overly "smart", especially in ways that require mind-reading. git provides a powerful "algebra of version control", where at some point even the "porcelain" commands can really be seen as "plumbing". In this light, I'm all in favor of higher levels of workflow porcelain. In fact, many larger teams I've worked with accrete such a layer out of necessity. Communicating and performing policy as folk knowledge eventually fails to scale, and tools pick up the slack. So the workflow you describe could be encoded as the Opinionated Policy of a tool on top of git which fills in the missing info in the scenarios above.

This reveals something I find disappointing about TFA: the lack of design exposition about its approach. Also, it appears to be trying to address VCS design without actually talking at all about what's known about the problem space to date. IMO this stands in stark contrast to the current generation of DVCS tools where the players (git, hg, bzr, darcs, etc.) each communicated around a set of concrete lessons learned from prior VCS systems.

The problem is that it's far more trivial to bypass the filters than it is to make the filters work well and not have false positives.

Consider: sh1t, cu|\|7, a55, f00ker, and so on and so on.

Plus you have to constantly update to take into account new slang which can have double meaning. Some kid might say "she's just a thirsty ratchet" and there's no way in hell that a simplistic automated system is going to be able to flag that as being a use of expletives or filthy and derogatory language.

Yeah, I don't condone it. I was just saying that if there were any reason to share less information it's when you're not a good bet.
Thinking about this more, it's definitely not a breakthrough to use a consensus algorithm to maintain a set of transactions over a distributed system (such as a P2P network). This has been done many, many times.

The only difference is that Bitcoin literally pays the nodes to act nicely.
You are right, botcoin is not a currency, but it is a security and it is traded on an exchange.

Here's the definition of a security [Securities Act of 1933, Section 2(a)(1)]:
The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.

As a CS person, ingenious mechanical solutions to problems like this always amaze me. If I had to solve this problem I'd probably end up with a bunch of accelerometers and gyroscopes wired up to a complicated program trying to do rotation correction. Mine would be slow, heavy, and probably not work. And then some genius would tell me about Rollerons.

Is this an actual policy of Coinbase, or restricted to times when you get bad press?

Because when I saw this post I could swear that it was about me. I gave you $467 about 24 hours after the OP for 0.5 BTC, with the promise that I would have the coins 5 days later (when they were still worth $450 or so). See this screenshot from earlier today

http://imgur.com/4WrTDPy

Since I took that screenshot 8 hours ago, the coins have been credited to my account (finally) and are worth about half what I paid for them.

Now my problem was a couple orders of magnitude smaller than that of the OP here, which is why it hasn't been worth my time to send a lot of emails about it or post on HN (and the market looked OK until 24 hours ago). I had chalked it up to the risk of performing financial transactions in an unregulated marketplace.

But I feel compelled to provide another example given your assertion that this only occurred with a 'handful' of orders.
That's really not true. Yes, auditors do find missing assets like that, but some of these banks have trillions in assets. Moreover, these errors usually aren't things like cash in versus cash out. Accounting and tax rules are very complex. So an error might entail having incorrectly computed the value of certain tax assets or the like. More to the point, a major bank will have layers and layers of accounting controls intended to catch even very small errors. These processes are themselves audited every year, and stress tested. It's not duct tape and excel spreadsheets.

Wow. I encourage you to study logical fallacies. In particular: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/strawman

I never held the position that you stated.
Deflation and Inflation are two very different things; in particular, deflation is not the opposite of inflation

What am I missing? The very first sentences from the articles he linked:

In economics, deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services.

In economics, inflation is a persistent increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time.

How are those not opposites?
Bester is one of my favorite SF writers, and it's almost criminal how few people know about his work. In addition to The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination (the latter my all-time favorite SF novel), he also wrote probably the best science fiction short story ever written, "Fondly Fahrenheit". Bester was a master of plot, of wordplay, of action, of emotion, and his stories were so exciting you were left out of breath when you got to the end.
A game machine controlled by a gamepad is almost identical to a touchscreen smartphone (Windows Phone 8) or a touchscreen tablet (Windows 8) with the exception of lack of gestures. You essentially move the pointing device (finger or selection box) over the tile you want to activate and press it. They aren't as radically different as you imply. The Windows Phone, Windows 8 Metro (on touch screens and tablets) and Xbox One UI are all great and very information dense compared to what you see on competing devices.

For the second part, only DNA from your list is an effort to unify the platform and it has been superseded by .NET. Are you seriously going to argue that .NET hasn't been successful in unifying development across the ecosystem? There are still a number of API differences between Windows Phone and Windows 8, but they are converging. The same with Xbox. Are you going to argue that being able to reuse all of the code behind an app's user interface across all of Microsoft's products isn't a good direction to move?
if you're going to have an intra-company economy with micro-transactions, it's not clear why those transactions are more beneficial than market transactions with trusted external suppliers.

an important and possibly the principal reason for forming companies is to avoid the transaction costs of coordinating numerous independent agents through a market economy.

so, when transaction costs decline, firms don't set up intra-company micro-economies, the supply chain gets vertically disintegrated.

for instance, where before you have a service that could only be supplied by a big company with a data center, now you get a small team providing the service by integrating software and services from a variety of IaaS, PaaS, SaaS suppliers.

basically, either you have a free market, or top-down central planning... if you build a market within the company, there's no point in top-down coordination, and if there's still top-down coordination, no point pretending decisions are made based on an internal free market economy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_the_Firm
I love startups and hate high taxes, but programs like this are bad.

The rewards go to firms most able to jump through confusing and often quite arbitrary eligibility hoops, or race to collect benefits before they are capped. (In some cases, the firms' skill in doing so is because they helped draft the program or otherwise have connections to the governing authorities.)

Jurisdictions get into bidding wars for the new/relocating firms able to qualify... but continue to subject older/less-politically-connected firms to growth-stunting tax levels. So it's creating incentives to move/restructure/game-the-rules, and an uneven playing field between sources of growth, and advantaging lawyers and policy-arbitrageurs above other more customer-focused innovators.

Just make a fair, welcoming environment for all employers, new and old, big and small, novice and expert, insider and outsider.
