And when they give you their feedback, listen. They may only tell you once.

Already done: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6660089 http://i.imgur.com/mmPAztu.png I didn't get much interest so I didn't bother building it :)

Yes; for people participating in an employee stock purchase program, it is called a Disqualifying Disposition. It puts you in the short-term capital gains bracket (with about 15% h…

Agreed. His argument is essentially that you can't meet deadlines with Scrum, because you must always be in a 'shippable' state at the end of each sprint. I'd argue that if you can…

I wouldn't... I would live like a miser for 2-3 years and retire to do whatever I wanted. Maybe 4 if I felt like travelling the world for a decade. :)

On the contrary: in a world filled with a cacophony of malicious and intentionally misleading statements, the silence caused by the criminalization of lies seems welcome.

And Ebay was the first mover in the online auction space. I'm sure we can cherrypick counterexamples all day, but in general the first mover enjoys an advantage those that come aft…

MtGox should absolutely have known about this issue. Everyone building anything related to BTC should know not to make assumptions about the protocol, and to treat every input as h…

+1 to parent post. It looks awesome, the fade-in is kinda distracting. It also re-fades the main area when you switch between categories. To the coders: Nice job on using multiple …

Thanks! This looks really cool, I'll check it out.

A hybrid system sounds reasonable, but I'm more interested in how they think that Dagger is ASIC-proof. I can't tell without a real description of the algorithm, but what is presen…

I'm interested in seeing a real explanation of the Dagger algorithm. In brief: the only source I can find (that page) just contains a few sloppy lines of pseudocode. Where is real …

http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Dagger#Algorithm_specific... : You sound knowledgeable, so perhaps you could clean up their algorithm for me? There are a number of problems with…

For a throwaway, you are remarkable.

This is excellent. You're on to something, why not write more?

Normally I'd downvote the doge on HN, but this is particularly apt. The article abuses the word "derp" to sound hip, makes weak shots at people and ideas left and right (without ev…

Well, which is better: the illusion of privacy (which you can do nothing to further secure), or the known fact that you have no privacy in an environment where you can take steps t…
