Maybe you've been whooshed?

>The year the Americans broke the internet.

Yeah... you're welcome, I guess?

I suppose I should have called my representatives, right? Well, their interns, at least...

The suggestion is that almost everybody is biased in some way, so that while biases may or may not balance each other out, to focus on one side particularly may be a little unfair.

Getting rid of something is not necessarily the same thing as proposing an alternative that may provide new benefits.

I didn't necessarily, it's just a precaution. I see a lot of vitriol directed at Bitcoin, and this sort of extremist overcompensation is really nothing new anyway. It's just a reminder to stay rational.

I suppose that depends on how you define "important". We're pretty important to ourselves, I suppose.

I understand a certain irritation with a lot of "Bitcoiners", but don't let contempt of Bitcoin extremists make you an anti-Bitcoin extremist.

It's a good thing that nobody has ever been massively fucked over by a regulated fiat system.

Not yet (and because some people around here seem to be softer than melted butter, that's not a threat).

Now I'm usually a pretty cold-hearted bastard, and I'll admit that I had very little stake in MtGox (I never conducted any business there), but I sort of agree with the above. Yes, he probably deserves some Internet hate. The problem is that this Internet hate is not likely to be the full extent of the hate he'll get over this thing.

I, for one, hope that the dude hasn't fucked over the entire rest of his life.

Yes, and when people say "my Internet", what they're really referring to is not a home Internet connection but their own personal Internet.

Oh, please. How sensitive can people get? That was hardly a threat.

OK...

...

... I shrunk it.

I think it was an interesting analysis (sounds like something I would have done). The Eiffel Tower example is strange not because it is a concretion, but because it is an example that one would expect be used in the description of something tall, not something heavy.

Interesting natural language processing question. It took me a minute to notice that you actually included three languages in there.

Wasn't there a children's book entitled "All Gone"? Just an image of the cover of that book as a final tweet.

My only regret is ever going through their verification process at all. I never even ended up conducting any sort of business at the site (and I'm now grateful for this).

So, G+ as middleware?

>It means, to keep an A, I have to be on the top of my game for every test, every assignment, and every class.

It's a situation without excellence - you maintain or you're a failure.

However, if you both want to make games, and have the stuff to actually make it through a CS degree program, hearing this shit gets a little old.

Honesty and candidness is refreshing, I think.

>Malware aside, it's annoying that people still think Bitcoin payments come "from" an address.

Do you mind clarifying?

>With this data, they can tell if you are regularly more impaired (fine motor control) at some times than at others, or if you're growing more impaired over time and match that against the content of your queries, etc.

Not that this does them much good when Google Now (or, as I affectionately refer to it, Google Later) grinds my phone to a screeching halt and plays mercilessly with touch input.

Though it doesn't hold a candle to Tijuana!

Sure, from a very sheltered perspective, it's quite "hick". I'll accept that.

You'll forgive me if I have trouble believing that, given that you consider Seattle to be "hick".

>A hick town with skyscrapers as I've often called it.

Something tells me that you've never met "hick".

What made you jump to RoR?

"15/1 should be enough for anybody!" - something TWC would say.

Seriously though. Why are most of us still in the bandwidth dark ages?

Good point. How do you know if something works before you've put in the time to use it?

Your music is awesome :)
