Sure, but his bitcoins probably aren't just sitting around either. The fear was that he'd be kidnapped/tortured in order to acquire them. If we're allowing for that, it seems like anyone with sufficient wealth would be a target.

Who says you have to treat these freelancers "sub-human"? On the contrary, once I find someone that works well with me, I create long-term relationships and treat them with utmost respect. I have a 9+ year working relationship with one of my developers, and even gave a 50% ownership in one of my startups to him. I consider him a really close friend even though we've never met in person.
It's very possible it is him.

That said, I don't think the cognitive dissonance is because of some crazy fantasy however. The creator of bitcoin clearly went to some great lengths to avoid people knowing his actual identity. Given this, it seems very odd for them to have used their real name in all communication.
> Because the web is meant for documents first, not applications.

Which is, ironically, why something much better than CSS is necessary. Right now you simply can't have rich presentation and a presentation independent document because CSS just doesn't actually give you that. Need to re-arrange your document's presentation with CSS? You'll have to move your html around to make that happen. Need a grid layout? Throw a bunch of stupid classes all over your html for your ridiculous CSS framework to latch onto. To rearrange them? Switch them around.

A richer presentation layout will help the web be for documents first, not hinder it. And more so than trying to pretend that it's still 1994 and no one's ever tried to do anything remotely complex on the web yet.

This is obviously not the Satoshi they were looking for. The Newsweek article reads like a ridiculous pageviews grab, sloppy with facts and extremely disrespectful for Dorian Nakamoto.

The foundation of why the journo thought he was Satoshi was... his birth name (which he actually changed years ago, and that is not a particular rare name). Yeah, no contradictions whatsoever here:

>> "He went to great lengths to protect his anonymity"

>> "He used his real name"
It is documented. That's the strongest argument against changing it: it's a documented piece of user-facing behavior. The python developers are changing it anyways because they're practical people who have decided it is more likely that people wrote bugs into their code, than that they wrote code that depended correctly on the falsiness of UTC midnight.

It should work on most recent browsers - but it will be much more performant on browsers that support web workers. If all of the calculations have to be done in the same main thread, it has no chance. Since it is targeting mobile apps, and all the mobile browsers can do web workers - that should be fine. Chrome and Firefox are fine back farther than it matters. But, IE9 and earlier will be slow because IE10 was the first IE to have web workers.
The monthly fee makes it unappealing for small volume customers, and the per-transaction fee makes it unappealing for large volume customers. I'm guessing there's some intermediate range, when you are negotiating the final deal, where it's comforting to have that "flexibility".
It was a long thread but it was worth it. It was very interesting and thought provoking to read so many peoples biases, and insights. I am ready to start implementing tests, and I think that as was stated above, tautological unit tests has no value, unless something inside it may be suspectible to change. When you write a unit test, then you add cohesiveness, so you have to update the unit test when your interface change. In other words. You don't write any regression test before your interface is stable. -On the other hand, you may use that same test as a test driven development test up to that point, and let the test be the manifesto of the specification. For simpler cases, it is often best to use assertions, that you can annhilate when you ship anyway. Apple says that Unit tests are for the model more than the view, but may be used in the controller, so those places I am inclined to use NSAssert. I don't have to throw away unit tests that takes a long time to run in Xcode either, as I can just disable them.

I must also say that I am reluctant to write large tests, and "mock objects" to provider large environments for the code to run in, as that may introduce new bugs and more work.

I guess (hope) the correct stratagems for when to implement tests, and when not comes with experience!

You should always be able to ask "What's this for?", and a senior engineer should be able explain what it's for.

I'm a relatively senior engineer in my department, and I frequently have more junior engineers doing my code reviews. A lot of the time when they point out "What's this for?" or "Why didn't you do it this way?", it really is an error or an oversight, and I should've done it that way. Senior != omniscient. And in cases where I do have a good reason for what I did, it's a teaching opportunity, where I can make the code reviewer aware of a complexity that hasn't come up.

One doesn't even have to be in the bitcoin community (or a redditor) to feel sympathy for an obviously private guy who has had a reporter stalking him and his family and publishing photos of him, his house, etc., in a major news publication. Whether he's the creator of bitcoin or not, he and his family are now the focal point of an intense amount of attention and as you highlight, possibly danger.

The idea that these reddit links are some kind of smoking gun is a bad case of rationalizing.

FWIW, my Father in law is a first generation Asian immigrant who is an engineer and for whom English is a second language.

His emails to my wife are like the one above - broken English, poor grammar.

But I've seen some documents that he's written for work - the early stages of patent applications, for instance - and they read like someone else wrote them, even though my FIL is the one who wrote them as they'd yet to have been submitted internally. Proper grammar, more formal prose. There is, every now and then, a phrase or word that seems out of place and not something a natural speaker would say, but the difference between in grammar between work and personal emails is night and day.
Apparently for you it still didn't fall apart as you failed to apply any amount of thought to it. If you did you would know there are basic principles in libertarianism from which it is deduced what government can and can not do, and it's not "whatever I want them to do" at all. But that, of course, requires educating oneself about it instead of dismissing it as "dumb ideology", which is obviously much more than many are willing to do.

"Hi Nilayam,

1. Which wheels have spokes and how many spokes for each wheel? My UK built Pearse's 2-6-4 in 15mm/ft (1/20.3 scale) has all the wheels as solid disc (no spokes)
and I'm wondering if this is true on the real prototype's Kitson locomotives of the same class, such as the 4-8-4 shown in your photos.

2. What were the thickness of the tyres? I think the thickness should be 4.5" or 4.75" for a 2ft 6inch gauge track with 5" diam. axles?

If you can get close up photos of the wheels, that'll be great. The L&M's truck wheels were 1 ft 11 inches and the drivers were 2 ft 6 inches I believe.

Looks like you can build anything that you could build with java/ruby/node code. And they would launch as many servers as you needed given the amount of traffic that it got. And you'd put the data into a nearby managed database like... Mongo (ew) or Postgres. Not listed: what operating system is running down there (going to guess Linux, since I don't know what building various binary ruby / node modules would actually look like on AIX :P)
Don't let your mouth write a check your eyeballs can't keep.

Agreed. The article never really pointed out what exactly the myth of unit testing is. I'm really not sure what he is trying to say other than think about your code.

There is substantial variation in those samples themselves let alone between those samples and the bitcoin whitepaper. Some of them are written like bad text messages and some are perfect but awkwardly formal, and some are perfectly conversational. If those posts were consistent and at odds with his bitcoin writing (on the forums -- including the whitepaper is silly, virtually everyone writes differently for 'formal' papers) maybe they'd be decent proof, but they are all over the map.

Also, how about adding this link to this list:

The thing is... you'd likely see inefficiency and wastefulness in most private sector jobs as well. Almost guaranteed.

There are some types of services, like crucial infrastructure, where failure is not an option, hence government, hence sacrificing efficiency in favor of dependability.
The problem is that if you do such things by default in most environments it will be assumed that you're taking longer than your should because it's essentially covering for the slack without telling anyone.
a back and forth with a police officer that likely never happened

I find this complaint ridiculous, like there's no possible way a police officer could know such things because otherwise they'd been a l33t h4x0r. Police officers read newspapers in about the same proportion as everyone else.
It's kind of murky because in commutative algebra that is actually not the definition of a prime. It just so happens that the prime numbers are precisely the natural numbers with this property. It's fine to define prime numbers that way, but in more general contexts a prime element is actually an element p which cannot divide a product of two elements a.b without dividing one (or both) of them. It just so happens that the non-invertible natural numbers with this property also aren't able to be written as a product p = c.d such that c != 1 and d != 1. In other number rings this isn't necessarily the same thing.
Assuming that he actually said that, of which the author of the article has no proof.

the burden of proof is on those who make the extremely unlikely claim that the person who painstakingly tried to hide his identity used his real name, communicates in native-level english on the Bitcoin forums and purposefully communicates in low-level English on all other internet forums.

(I work at Stripe, based in the UK.)

Our pricing in EU countries where we've launched (UK + Ireland) starts at 2.4% + 20p (we've revised pricing for each country when we launch out of beta). We regularly give volume pricing well below 1.8% - so at both ends, considerably cheaper than the range quoted above.

Also, which country are you in? Stripe is available in full production-ready beta in France, Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden and Finland, with more countries in the coming weeks - keep an eye on https://stripe.com/global for updates.

You can sign up and start using Stripe to process live transactions instantly in all our beta countries - this is a key requirement for us as we expand globally.
I might use a service like this. However, trust is the biggest issue. You might think about targeting sitters that already have a certain trust factor with society in general. Teachers for example have the trust, background, need for money that might work for something like this. Current daycare employees might be another one. Friends of friends on social networks is another angle.

I understand the point, and I think it is good to correct people when they refer to Ukraine incorrectly.

However, comparing a (typically accidental) prepended word to slavery makes me recoil from your argument. I think it is similar to "Reductio ad Hitlerum"[1].

From where I'm sitting the burden of proof is on those who claim he ever painstakingly tried to hide his identity. To me it looks like someone who doesn't like a lot of personal attention (something I can certainly relate to) creating something to scratch an intellectual itch and that thing grew far larger than he imagined, so he bowed out.

I see no proof that he is someone who was planning complete anonymity from the start, that seems to me like a bolted on rationalization from people confused by his partial disappearing act.
