Ethereum marketcap is lower because institutional investors are being sold Bitcoin by the few who are providing the onramp to these large players. They conveniently changed the narrative around bitcoin from payment system to "digital gold".

Smaller investors are chasing the shitcoins (penny stocks).

You dont have much vested interests really 'marketing' ethereum. most people involved are headsdown building great products and protocols.

this only shows your bias. If FB or Google release a project duplicating this, it will be legit tech. Just like the whole blockchain was a ponzi scheme till FB copies most of the features and release Libra.

ICO selling is mostly over - https://diar.co/ethereum-ico-treasury-balances/

It does not affect the price anymore compared to daily trading volumes

good question but I don't have a good answer. this might help - https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/473vu9/slockit_th...

Ethereum itself was crowd funded and they registered the foundation in Switzerland mainly for legal reasons. The status in US is unclear atm.

and digix is registered in Singapore again for legal/regulation reasons

Among other things Ethereum is enabling, DAOs and crowd funding is very interesting and already here today. digix.io raised 5.5 mil in 14 hrs this morning! Compare that to pitching multiple VCs and negotiating terms sheets. On the other side, anyone can participate and you need not be a reputed VC to get in. Slock.it will be next. I think they will set a new record.

Nice to see hacker news slowly catching upto news from two weeks back!

yes, lots of issues to be resolved but the team and community is making great progress instead of stuck in disagreements. check out this Casper progress at 57:00 http://blog.synereo.com/2016/03/06/Synereo-Update/

I am amazed at this open contribution and collaboration.

Its not working for me. type a search term and nothing happens

after seeing this thread I login to my coinable account since I have check it in few months. Shocked to find my BTC balance to 0 although I had a few. emailed support this morning and so far no response.

agree with your sentiment. but, this is not surprising. VCs talk about 7 sins and not curing cancer

title should read 'Programming Perl (NOT Pearls)' I got fooled for a sec.

They are not delayed. I got emails yesterday saying they start Feb 20

Google, hire some Mac/iPhone developers to do the job.

This is what happens if you hire 'generalist' and reject Mac developers by asking some scaling and data center questions.

RIP Steve. My career got a boost because of technology you created. I wonder what you would have created if you had lived another 10 or 20 years

Khan Academy - Probability part 7 and 8 also explains it with pictures

http://www.khanacademy.org/video/probability--part-8

can someone shortlist topics within linear algebra, probability and statistics that are more important for this AI call ? (Strang's class has 34 lectures and numerous topics in khan academy too)

I consider Sencha touch to be currently much better than jquery mobile. Just wanted to mentioned it here.

I do iPhone dev, contact me madhancr at hotmail

OP has a point. In my previous job, when I looked around, it seemed like almost everyone seemed be to just coming to the job to get paid. In some pathetic cases, after seeing some really unhappy people dragging it for over a year, I have screamed silently - why don't they go find something else ?

This post makes a point, but its not to be taken literally.

I think Scrum helps product management more than developers. Good programmers always get stuff done quickly and iteratively. Thats how they become 'good programmers' and thats how most of them naturally work.

To me, making the product owner think about backlogs and stories from an end user perspective is the real benefit of Scrum.

this is not always possible. most ask for and press to know your current salary

thanks all. This has certainly cleared-up my view. I am going to work on having some presentable code for the future.

I agree, asking code is better than asking tricky questions or other irrelevant things.

thanks for the tip on what to submit. I ended-up giving a small app I had done for a client. But, this may be better way to do it.

whats Qt ? If I google I get a GUI platform from Nokia. I guess Qt being referred here is different ?
