exactly the same thing happened to me with Litecoin on GDAX. They sold off my entire holdings for $0.01 - $0 after fees. At the time LTC was trading for something like $25/LTC. It …

TLDR; Northern hemisphere:definitely, Southern:Maybe. It's in cygnus, which is always visible in the northern hemisphere, and visible in a lot of the southern hemisphere low on the…

yeah, nice to see PMD still getting some love. A very well implemented tool that just does what it does awesomely well.

Because the orbital ship is structurally unable to cope with higher atmospheric density so must be assembled and maintained at altitude and never go below the height of the station…

Why bother with the rocket? It sounds mad, but you can actually just send the balloon. to orbit... http://www.jpaerospace.com/atohandout.pdf

I honestly couldn't finish this. Who exactly is comparing today's startups to the manhattan project? Yes many projects are aiming for more ad clicks, but so what? In the 30's movie…

Not sure about that with the HN audience. I have only the most passing interest in biology and aging research but I automatically made the association.

Amazing technology, but we are finding it a little limiting in production. True and False values are good, but we're finding that often the data value is in an in between state. We…

Wow tough crowd :( I for one appreciated it. Good actionable advice with minimal bs. There's a pint waiting for you next time you're in London.

Are you doing model driven development for the contract - building the contract artifacts first (e.g. the wsdl/wadl/whatever) and generating documentation and some of the code off …

Meeting clients is more about freelancing, and some of the meetup groups are useful for networking there. For contracting I'd say the majority of people use jobserve. They advertis…

have a look on jobserve and see what comparable contract rates are. As a contractor in the uk market for 15 years, 3k per week is unrealistic outside of banking. Universities are r…
