please give extra scrutiny to blockchain start ups looking to ICO. I've seen Y Combinator tossed around for a couple companies as a means to pump their coin, and I'm sure a lot of would be scam coiners would love that type of attention.
seems like a lot of people think compromising the vacuum could lead to train derailment and very likely the death of everyone on board (they're traveling at 700 mph after all)
Would it be economically feasible to use the hyperloop to transport just goods and not people, similar to a pipeline vs train transport? I always see it referenced in connection to human travel, but it seems like safety is one of the biggest issues.
Tezos was set up in a way to avoid any sort of regulatory scrutiny. Remember the ICO wasn't an ICO. It was a 'donation' in which no obligations were promised toward the donators.
They can't change their minds later and cry about it when Breitman wants to try to implement a takeover.
It was an honest question. I don't see what your beef is. So many top level employees show to put their name on something for a year and leave with a payout. I've fallen scam to this a number of times myself.
It'd be nice if some of the money were used to make it easier for charities to convert to cash as quickly as possible. Bitcoin pointlessly consumes so much dirty energy, I imagine many environmental charities see bitcoin akin to blood money.
I wonder how much this has to do with the strong push for Online Pharmacies over the past decade. I hate using them, but my deductible costs next year have increased so much that I will have no choice.
The content is still in their CMS somewhere. They just redirected the index to a different page. Could have even been someone who didn't work directly at DNAInfo. Ricketts employs a lot of people.
Sounds like he fired every single employee on the spot. I can see the logic behind redirecting the site to a static asset when you have nobody to manage it.
Same for Italy. I always thought, like Greece and Poland, it's where EU manufacturers get cheap labor. On the flip side, I thought made in Japan would be top 3. People always look for the label on Japanese line products (zojirushi, fujifilm, etc)
> Johnson said that the company had made several venture investments in bitcoin-related businesses and that the company was looking at applications of blockchain technologies alongside several leading universities.
Every crypto article makes the same vague claims about the potential of non-specific blockchain technology. I'm surprised there was no mention of replacing Visa in this one as well.
How many more blockchain "hype" articles do we have to go through before we get one about an actual product that people use to do something with other than speculate on value?
I regret not getting more into Math in college; only got as far as Linear Algebra even though I was pretty good at it, even relative to people in the class. For some reason, I did believe you had to be really exceptional to major in Math. I think it was, in part, because there were a couple really talented kids in high school and everyone including the teachers put them on a huge pedestal. I never felt like I measured up, and if you were smart but not the type to dominate math league, something like Chemistry or Biology were more suitable. Having since met many math majors and even phds, I know know my assumption was kind of false. I look at those talented kids; they're doing advanced degrees or research at top tier universities, and I realize that wasn't the route you had to be on. Oh well.
If 'non-professional' courses are taught well, they can be a huge asset. I personally learned quite a bit from the couple in-depth history courses I took because they taught me how to research, how to understand information, and how to understand the context in which information is presented.
the major appeal of the union is that you can't get fired or laid off. This type of job security is crucial because it gives you massive leverage when it comes to fighting for those other things. No matter how good the pay is, you can probably get better via striking, etc.
