    Pool operators have vastly different roles (responsibilities and authorizations) in the bitcoin system than banks do in the fiat system. There's no irony.

    A simpler way is to have a seperate Chrome (or Firefox) profile for Facebook. I have an icon in my taskbar for Gmail and it simply opens up Chrome with that profile, which has Gmai…

    I've never really thought about it this way (bad code quality as the product of bad team dynamics), but it makes perfect sense to me. I guess the way forward is to improve interper…

    Ruby is just "gem install rails", but IMO this discussion is misguided: initial setup time doesn't make much difference in the long run. If we're talking "how easy can a user get s…
