Different camps, different forks, pushing different kind of agenda

We attempted to snapshot the current situation with https://imgur.com/Zlopq7S

May be outdated now that 2X has been called off

This will be great for archiving the past :)

Good to hear that. Yeah, I think we can revisit a new version of infographic covering those forks too someday.

In light of the hard fork in Bitcoin world. This graphic https://imgur.com/y4D0XEC should get you up to speed with all you need to know about the state of Bitcoin forks.

The number of bursts can also be summarized from history of heists https://imgur.com/0WDy5Wo

The MtGox magnitude was way way larger than what we have seen so far.

If I recall correctly, vault is used for them to plan how much coins to store between cold storage and hot wallet. Not just an account level authentication.

Mobile phones should be used as a hot wallet storing small amount for convenience. The rest of the bulk should be on a https://trezor.io/

Which exchanges are the best? --- Depending on where you are located, best exchanges probably means an exchange that has high liquidity and smoothly facilitates withdrawal and deposit. In this case consider Gdax, Bitfinex, Coincheck, etc.

How should I secure my coins once I've bought them? --- Really securing coins is hard and requires up most attention. The easiest way to get started is to purchase a hardware wallet. I recommend Trezor but you may also use a Ledger. These wallets supports a few other coins aside from Bitcoin such as Litecoin, Dash, Ethereum. As for Ethereum, the Trezor wallet works well with Myetherwallet, a web wallet for Ethereum which you can secure your own private keys. This private key can reside in your hardware wallet in which you use to sign transactions. This very same wallet is also used to store all ERC20 tokens.

I think in OKR practices, hitting 0.9/1.0 shouldn't happen. Nonetheless after the first round of OKR evaluation, if the OKR that seemed hard turns out to be easy; you should be revising the OKR anyway (in your case, under a manager's watch hopefully) to pursue something harder.

What is the size of your current company? Has the OKR setup been difficult. That is, did everybody wrote their OKRs?

I think in OKR speak, individual tasks can be in your OKR as well, it just won't be aligned with any team/company vision. If it is really important day to day tasks, then it might make sense to be in your OKR.

OKRs can be a great shortcut; in your example, it seems that the quantifiable key results set should be according to the ability/expectation of the employees (which is a guesswork) in order to be fair.

For companies adopting OKR, they would have to be aware that the other benefits (transparency, pushing employee's capability, etc) comes first over easy employee evaluation.

There might be a threshold for the number of employees before the formalities kick in? What would that be?

1 on 1 is definitely ideal until you find yourself not being able to spend time with everybody and so are the managers. Even more so when everybody keeps getting more other priorities to work on.

> The 360 system is great for highlighting projects and contributions a top-down review might miss, and also gives the coworkers a chance to call out areas for improvement. Employees can game the system by exchanging positive reviews, but that is easy to spot. An honest review with proper critical feedback is valuable to an employee's progression

The 360 review as i understand can be quite a complex flow ie. reviewer nomination, anonymity, ensure everybody answers the review, releasing the questions. Are you using a software for this or straight up google forms or paper?

With these 3 different flows, do you tend to get push backs from teams? How did you overcome that?

The corporations can't take care of their employees forever, so does the government can't take care of the corporations forever.. Wouldn't they not want this to hit a dead end?

Some folks mentioned about lowering costs; I may misunderstood that context but has there been any math done by any entity on how much of a cost-saving it would be for organizations that chooses to switch to a blockchain data storage solution?

A weakening currency is probably aimed to boost exports.

I think in theory, say the US Dollar weakens, everything appears cheaper, exports increase. US companies will then be able to employ more people within the country and thus improves employability and domestic consumption.

It makes us poor overall, if we consume imported products, travel internationally, and if the economic plan fails in which employability and domestic consumption does not increase. This can happen when other equally competitive countries counter by de-valuing their currency as well.

When debt is created, wealth is being transferred from the residents to the government. If the government fails to use the debt created to stimulate the economy in the long term, the impact will trickle down and the residents will find themselves poorer and not being able to be competitive enough for the outside world to demand their goods.

Has anyone actually tried the bulletproof recipe (Coffee + Butter + MCT/Coconut Oil) as an alternative to the standard daily coffee?

I see a lot of tech related courses in this discussion; here is something off the wall if you are into "Coffee making" https://www.skillshare.com/classes/culinary/From-Plant-to-Cu...

Made by the guys from The Blue Bottle, splendid tutorial!

I would agree. It gets difficult sometimes to implement a design from a beautiful looking mockup. Mainly because the design does not take into account most of the software use-cases. Then we go back to the drawing board again.

Which is sort of why I think designer who can implement design (in HTML/CSS/JS or iOS/Android) is ideal, as they are much more likely to have that sort of "product architecture" thought process; and being as closed as possible to the code which means it becomes easier to adapt the design.

Personally like Ryan Singer's approach to designing as he jumps back and fourth between HTML and Photoshop (https://vimeo.com/16814487), the design gets much closer to reality.

As much health benefits coffee has, always take then freshly brewed black.

Tasty and prevents too much of sugar fat intake.

it probably strives to be a "simple setup Bitcoin box"

Access to kitchen is golden. You can steam, stir fry, use conventional oven, all great options to a healthy meal.

I've been working remotely for a while now, and i would say in terms of productivity it has been excellent.

No commuting which means time can be spent on reading up materials, doing actual work, or going to the gym.

Meals is also an important matter. Working remotely, I feel I have more control on what I eat. Typically i tend to pick up food at a cafe/restaurant, which depending on my pick diminishes my productivity. Working at home means having access to full fledge kitchen like stove, oven; I could do weekly/daily groceries to prepare healthy food like salad, yoghurt, etc.

There are still some setbacks though when it comes to communicating and working in a team. We tried to solve that with Slack and project management tools (ie. Basecamp, Asana); it works for most projects, while some I supposed we are still looking for the right way to get everyone on the same page mainly because there are a few stakeholders involved.

Grape by Intridea https://github.com/ruby-grape/grape is a nifty choice. It is somewhat opinionated, but lightweight enough to have most of the features you'll need in writing an API

How is Tierion different compared to Factom?

That's true :) While for that, you give a delay for say ~.5 seconds once your hand is off the keyboard, then read the value in the form.

Looks great! I love instant search weekend projects! One thing i learn is also to disable keystrokes that do not change the search query; and you might want to do the same too. Perhaps do not execute the search, if keys like 'ctrl', 'alt', 'commamnd', etc is hit.

Thanks for the comment. There's definitely room for improvement like you just described there, which i'm open to adding them. =)

I would agree, it's not really a good idea to have code that stretches too much hence i guess why the 980px is probably just right. However there're times where this could get handy, instead of scrolling back and forth.
