Dogecoin is special because it was first, and the early community built a loving friendly place. People like friendly doges.
Even if its a requirement of the VC's so that the cap table works out to what they want? i.e. the VC's want 60% of the company at a specific valuation but they can't do that without the founder selling 5% to them.
Dogecoin is kind of the Redditcoin [0]. This might be one reason, why it is so heavily used. For reddit users, it probably easier to get started with doge than with bitcoin. Since it is seen as fun, (micro) transactions are casually thrown around [1].

Well, I suppose it's time for the tin-foil-hat crowd to turn their computer cases into a Faraday cages then! Of course, these NSA gizmos might plug into ground and detect radio-induced current fluctuations. Given how many computer cases are metal, this might be the obvious way to go actually. So... Faraday cage and a really expensive ground conditioner?

Same here, lasted around 2005-08 for me. Completely non-transparent. My name was put on some kind of list without my knowledge (it's a common name), and I was repeatedly delayed every time I tried to fly. Nobody would actually acknowledge anything or give me information about what I could do about it, even though it was pretty obvious what the reason was.
Except it's conceivable that having virality baked into it (e.g. being a "joke/meme") could actually help its adoption move much faster than it otherwise would. And once you have a cryptocurrency that has a lot of buy-in, why not use it for real transactions?

I'm not ready to say DOGE will win the cryptocurrency wars, but it certainly wouldn't the first time that a "joke" or "hack" turned into something real and lasting.
This is absolutely the source of the transactions. When you consider that no other crypto currency has a mass appeal use at this point, it makes sense that the transactions would be higher for DOGE than any other. Conversely, The primary use of Bitcoin is value storage.

No you are right - I kind of buried the lead there. The cubes themselves have a side-length of 100-120nm, but it means the longest diagonal length is actually more like ~211nm.

But there's also the 2D diagonal which is 172nm, so what seems to happen is you end up seeing two slightly super-imposed and different shaped blurs, whereas normally you'd see just the 1 if they were perfect spheres.
Zuckerberg Calls Snapchat A “Privacy Phenomenon”
From quickly scanning the comments, it seems that (i) many people would use a tool like this, despite its lack of flexibility, because it's easy to use and it works, (ii) very few had the same reaction as I did: it looks nice, but why not just use Excel.

Perhaps it's because I've spent many, many hours using Excel (although less so these days), but those problems you state don't seem like problems:

1) Fat-fingering is a problem only if you mix the task of coding (setting up the structure and formulae in Excel) with the task of using (changing the parameters). You don't code your web site at the same time as using it (except for manual testing), and it can be the same with Excel. Highlight all input cells with a yellow background and blue font, unset their 'Protected' property, and then lock the workbook. You/anyone can then play to your heart's content without worrying about messing up formulae.

2) When you are creating new versions of a spreadsheet, it's either because you are changing the structure (e.g. changing formulae, adding columns) or because you are changing the input data. If the latter then, yes, you can have several different versions. I've managed this in the past (when fundraising and doing regular reviews with investors) by having an 'Assumptions' tab which contains _all_ inputs. Each scenario (set of assumptions) has a name/number and a column of its own. The calculations and output dynamically reference just one scenario at a time depending on the scenario chosen from a drop-down. Not only that, but Excel's 'Data tables' feature (which explicitly supports only one-variable or two-variable scenarios) works with this, even if you have 10s of variables: just set the scenario number as your variable.

3) Using a 'template they found' is clearly a bad idea. They wouldn't just copy-paste some 'code they found' without studying it and the tests. In fact, for something simple, they'd probably just re-create their own after studying someone else's code for something similar. It's the same with Excel files.

4) Can't argue with this one :)

5) This last point intrigues me: until now I thought you were focused on business plans, and that you wouldn't overwrite the historical data with actuals. However, you mention operational data, suggesting you are talking about combining planning and tracking into one tool. Is this correct?
Bollocks. The complete loss of effectiveness of antibiotics is not something that has already happened; they are still saving lives as I write this post. It is something that will happen if we don't change our behavior. Whether we change our behavior quickly enough has still to be decided.
It's also worth keeping in mind that the NSA may percieve, in this case rightly, that pushing this angle, which is all re-hashed information, would in fact not expose new information but could potentially reframe the debate in their favor.

How is Dogebook different than Facebook? I mean you can create an account in both, follow your friends, "like" stuff...etc. They are essentially the same so they must both be worth billions, right?

What makes bitcoin different is the network effect and the infrastructure - there are many people who think bitcoin is the cryptocurrency and this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some day another cryptocurrency may overtake it but for now it's the one because people say it's the one.

You gotta remember that there's two sides to any radio system: the transmitter and the receiver, and both determine what you can do. After all, with the right antenna on one side, you can use wi-fi over a distance of miles.

It makes it easier for the practitioners to discuss their art. Jargon is useful if all parties understand the concepts and the forms (words assigned to the concept) used to represent them. Otherwise you have to expand the jargon into larger units.

Borrowing words across fields (because of similarity) can cause confusion. One person may assign a meaning from a different field than the other interlocutors are using.

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that you also need virality. There are multiple coins released every day [1]. Most of these coins go nowhere.

Why are so many coins released? Quite simply, most coins are forks of Bitcoin/Litecoin/etc with minor tweaks. Occasionally, you get a truly new coin based on something new, but most simply tweak the coins per block, the difficulty re-targeting rate, the starting difficulty, the block time, etc. Coingen.io exemplifies how simple this is. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the upcoming Etherium [2], the first Turing complete cryptocurrency (as far as I know, at least).

Despite that, most coins basically fail. Sure, they receive hashing power, and some even get onto exchanges. Most of them, however, don't really go anywhere.

So, yes, it is relatively easy to create and launch a coin. It is a bit harder to launch a coin that makes it to an exchange. It is harder still to make one that also sticks around and stays in the public consciousness (such as dogecoin).

Finally, let's say you have a great idea for a new coin. The way some people previously got rich by creating a new coin was to premine the coin. Basically, one would mine the first x number of blocks, before releasing it. This still happens, but is now much more often frowned upon. So, to get rich off of creating a coin, you basically would need to premine a coin, and convince others that you had a good reason to premine it [3]. This absolutely still happens, but is becoming tougher to pull off.

So yes, you could create aarondfcoin. Yes, you could probably release it and get hashing power thrown at it. But, would you make money doing so? Well, that requires a bit more effort. Keep in mind that there are hundreds of attempted alt currencies for every dogecoin success.

That said, yes, there is still room for success here, but it usually requires more than just creating aarondfcoin. The virality aspect is the more important aspect, at the moment.

[1] See the bitcointalk announcement forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

[2] http://ethereum.org/ and the whitepaper: http://ethereum.org/ethereum.html

[3] Yes, there are a still a number of ways to make money off of releasing a coin that doesn't involve premining (or appears not to involve premining), but that is a topic worthy of its own thread.

Antibiotics are overused outside of commercial farming too.
It's nominally worth $850k, but I am skeptical you could find someone to take the other side of that trade.

Dogecoin is like any other currency. The things that make it useful are belief and people willing to exchange things for it. It's unlike other currencies in that mostly the things being exchanged are electronic and not worth meatspacecoin.

There is, of course, no reason it has to stay that way.
Indeed. I'm a math major, and the ratio of men to women is quite healthy.
Thank you for sharing. It's nice to see how other people do things.

A few suggestions which may save effort next time you do this:

- Only use the $ symbol as much as necessary. Usually you only need one (e.g. $C12 or C$12 rather than $C$12), unless you're referencing a single input. In your example, the excessive use of $ on the 'Detail' tab prevents me from adding an extra row for an employee simply by copying-and-pasting

- SUBTOTAL can be better than SUM for summing columns of numbers. You want subtotals for Sales, Support etc., as well as a grand total. SUBTOTAL can be applied to a whole column of values without fear of double-counting, as it ignore existing SUBTOTALs.

- EOMONTH(x,1) will give you the last day of the month after the date x. EOMONTH(x,0)+1 will give you the first day of the month instead. It's a bit easier to read than your DATE(YEAR, MONTH+1, DAY) construction.
> where seeing the user's browser history gives the supervisor information about what the user has been reading and they initiate a conversation about it.

Surveillance has a chilling effect and parent-child surveillance is no different.

If I had to do this, I would have just avoided the internet as much as possible. I suspect most kids beyond age 9/10 are roughly the same.

I would never have learned to program, never have started reading HN, never have browsed Wikipedia except for specific queries. I would never have acquired the information or communication and technical skills I currently possess. I'd be a completely different and vastly inferior person looking at a much less interesting future.

> It doesn't have to lead to blocking and restriction

"Monitor and supervise" is orders of magnitude worse than content filtering. This approach forces children to block themselves from having any sort of individual experience. If your child is even slightly introverted and is old enough not to not want to share every second with you, "monitor and supervise internet activity" is equal to "learn about and engage with the world around you as little as possible." It sends a message that by default, information is bad - any time you do seek information, you know you'll have to justify your curiosity. This doesn't just apply to objectionable content, it applies to everything.

I was happy to show my parents my finished projects and even wrote a few specifically for family. If I were getting interrogated, incompetently, about every intermediate step ("Why did you install django-south? What's a database? What's a schema? What's a query? What's a function? Oh, is that like a ___? No, mom, go away.") I would have just watched mindless TV instead.

Could you imagine knowing that you will have to discuss every link you follow and every Google search you enter with anyone, let alone your parents? That's horrifying.
I think the transaction volume comes partly from Reddit tipping with tipbots (a beautiful aspect of the modern age).

But it's probably more from from the fact that some people are attacking the currency by sending massive volumes of micro-transactions. Many people have been receiving thousands of really tiny donations (off-reddit).
This thread is a good example why name matters. If the same product was given any other name, perhaps it would not have been noticed that much. A set of motion sensors with a central comm hub.

The makers perhaps thought that the name 'Mother' would evoke care and love in the minds of their users. To their agony, it is revealing in the thread that though most people love their mom, they really do not want to be a 'watched over' kid.

I guess it gives all of us that creepy feeling of guilt as kids when we stole from the cookie jar and kept turning our heads with fear of being caught by mom :-)

Note to self: keep relationship names away from product names, too much friction ;-)

Java has a bytecode for its client embedding; so does Flash ActionScript. This led to trouble. From http://brendaneich.github.io/Strange-Loop-2012/#/27, some pros for JS and cons for bytecode:

* Dynamic typing ⇒ no verification

* Type inference ⇒ delayed optimization

* Would bytecode compress as well?

* Bytecode standardization would suck

* Bytecode versioning would suck more

* Low-level bytecode is future-hostile

Remember Java bytecode backward compatibility hampering language evolution, in the generics (erasure) debate and result. Then they broke bytecode compat anyway.

Flash has two language implementations in it, one for AS2 and the other (Tamarin) for AS3. Only way to be sure about AS2 compat!

In many ways, with JS you have one problem; add bytecode and now you have two.

A significant portion of the commenters in this thread are asking why Dogecoin has any value at all, as if for the first time grappling with the abstraction of value. Dogecoin has value, like any currency, because a number of people believe it does. Cryptocurrency will have been worth its short-term weight in carbon dioxide and money laundering if, at a minimum, it illuminates the minds of a good number of people to the fundamental arbitrariness of economics and all the philosophical consequences it entails.
