How do you know 2 isn't a string and two isn't an integer representing, well 0 of course :-)

quickthrower | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: I have Bitcoin in Coinbase, what should I do before the forks?
Depends on your level of paranoia. I use an encrypted file on disk to store a client and keys. I back this up offsite incase I get ransomwared. That's good enough for me.
The super paranoid roll dice to generate the private key, use a totally offline computer to convert those dice rolls into an address.

Thanks for the heads up. This is something that I've wondered about with working from home. I think I'd like 1 or 2 days per week at home and rest in the office for ideal ratio.

I think if done in Haskell how good or bad it is depends on the chosen abstraction for effects not Haskell itself.
Haskell is a good basis but the developers need to make the API fool proof. E.g. expose limited effects rather than a big fat "IO" type.

In Haskell everything is public by default unless you specify exports for the module.

Not just the code but hopefully the compiler and processors (at large i.e. Intel) have no bugs that causes unintuitive behaviour.

This might be appealing as a JV between a small number of people who are already experts in cryptocurrencies, probably already millionaires from BTC, putting together a new coin that solves a unsolved problem but all founders on a equal footing.
quickthrower | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Who is willing to work for coin?
Is the coin decentralized? If so no thanks I'll mine it. Otherwise no thanks I don't trust it.

Makes me sad working in an open plan office when I could be working in an inspiring building like that baby.

In that case the Instagram ads may be delivering some value!

Ultimately this should hurt Facebook if advertisers are tracking ROI they may just stop campaigns and go into other channels entirely.

I've wondered about that for signalling. Say for example there is a revered tech company in your city. Get their tshirt and people might assume you work there. Go to Meetup and more people may want to chat with you etc.

I think the parent is observing reality rather than saying things should be this way in an ideal world.
quickthrower | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you think career and family is either-or?
I guess I'm lucky in that I don't have much of a career mapped out. I enjoy coding and although I'd like to run a business in the future it's going to be a lifestyle one most likely.
Ironically my (our) net wealth has increased fastest while having children simply by buying a suitable house before a boom kicked off in my city. Outstripping my wages and any E(V) from starting a business!
quickthrower | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you think career and family is either-or?
If you were CEO of the one startup and no side projects how would that affect your hours? Would you have time for kids do you think (should you want to)?
