What makes it immoral for Buterin to have a large amount of Ether? Would it be immoral for a very early investor to buy a lot of Ether for a very low price?

Citation needed.

Doesn't the Proof of Stake algorithm protect against Sybil attacks by trusting participants based on how much they are staking?

They were probably referring to the fees that exchanges charge.

Good luck!

Couldn't taking the subset of a Cartesian product be considered to be dealing with one?

>2. When trying to recover an older account, the recovery keeps asking for my phone number but isn't sending me texts properly. If you say you lost your phone, you can submit id+selfie, but to get to that step, you need your phone??

I did this a week ago. They ask you for your current (= old) phone number and your new phone number, but you don't actually need access to your old phone number. You just need to enter it.

You don't need commas :)

The screen cut-out at the top might be distinctive enough to serve the same purpose.

It only took you a few minutes, together with your daughter, to write code that lets you interact with a Rubik's Cube? Or were you only referring to the solver part?

A 4x4x4 definitely has parity issues that don't arise on a 3x3x3.

They were pretty clear about this from the beginning... Sometimes you need to break a few things here and there to make it a more pleasant language for the decades to come.

There's a PR that fixes one of them which was filed on December 22 of last year... Yikes.

Tesla, apparently.

Swift 3 code will be able to be used alongside Swift 4 code, in the future, but that's not to say that Swift 4 won't contain any breaking changes (it will).

Did you read the email at all?

This decision wasn't made lightly, and I want you all to know that I’m still completely committed to Swift. I plan to remain an active member of the Swift Core Team, as well as a contributor to the swift-evolution mailing list.

Living with x++ wouldn't be terrible, but I don't mind having to make changes to my code now that Swift is still very new if it ends up becoming a better language. Teaching x++ and ++x to beginners can be quite a pain.

Not disagreeing with anything that you're saying, except that dictionaries are declared `[Key: Value]` and not `[Key, Value]`.

By the way, rather than using `.filter { ... }.first`, you should really use `.first(where: { ... })` instead. `filter` will iterate the entire sequence, while `first(where:)` stops after it finds a match.

But the new one might not have fans.

The point still stands. Coders shouldn't have to deal with that.

"seems unlikely" isn't really cutting it, when we're talking about formal systems.

I've seen several blood test results posted to the Soylent subreddit, and those generally are very positive.

I know that's not a scientific study by any means, and people should be skeptical, but there really is a lot of (anecdotal) evidence out there of Soylent having a positive impact on people's diets. On the other hand, I've hardly seen any evidence of Soylent having a negative impact on someone's health.

Perhaps not optimal, but in a lot of cases probably a lot better than someone's previous diet.

>I find it hard to believe Soylent can provide all the nutrition you need.

Why?

The renaming of flatten to joined was a last-minute proposal, and it wasn't even implemented by someone of Swift's core team. I don't think it distracted the team much at all.

Also, breaking changes such as this one were a lot easier to make in Swift 3 than in a later version.

Yes, this is what Swift 2.3 is for.

A major release doesn't necessarily have any breaking changes. Swift 4 will contain some breaking changes for sure, but Swift 5 might not.

Interestingly, the Community page has a link to /r/haskell instead of /r/haskell_lang.

Haha, me as well.

That's already what happens for me. I can scroll the page just fine if my cursor is off the demo device.
