Cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin in particular, have been getting a lot of attention from just about every angle: regulation, governance, taxation, technology, product innovation, and the list goes on. The block chain is agnostic to any "currency". In fact, it can (and will) be adapted to power many other use cases. As a result, it pays to understand the how and the why behind the "minimum viable block chain" Grab that cryptocurrency with both hands and make a stash

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Ehhhh.... still better than Tiobe's monthly farce.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Like man people in San Francisco, Sasha Robinson is working on a startup out of his home. His living room is a riot of wires, battery packs, pliers, and metal casings. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was a bomb maker. But these are just the raw materials for a new gadget he’s creating. Definitely gives a whole new meaning to "High Tech".

Microsoft. For a generation of technology executives, the name strikes fear into even the most iron-willed business leaders. A lion among gazelles, its very gaze into a market could cause investors and analysts to flee in terror. Yet, its name has become a punchline among today’s technorati, a joke about formerly dominant companies evolving into large, plodding kludges. Missed deadlines, delayed products, and canceled features are only some of the ways the company has disappointed both consumer and enterprise users. Agree/Disagree?

I disagree because the premise of fear and fleeing in terror is wrong. I also disagree because every company dealing in software has missed deadlines, delayed product launches, etc. The fact that Microsoft is a target of these kinds of ridiculous statements shows simply that they are successful enough to be front and center in the public's eye. Well, along side Apple, whom we've heard exactly the same silly comments about.

Berlin-based artificial intelligence startup EyeQuant has developed a tool that will automatically judge how clean the design of your website is.
The system was developed by teaching a computer to look at websites in the same way a human might. EyeQuant, founded by a team of neuroscientists, was building on work it had done on an Eye-Tracking tool that predicts how people will look at websites to create an inexpensive heat map. The service provides an inexpensive alternative to eye-tracking studies and is used by companies such as Google. Or just hire a better web designer.

A U-2 spy plane caused a computer glitch at a California air traffic control center that led officials to halt takeoffs on Wednesday at several airports in the Southwestern United States and ground planes bound for the region from other parts of the country, NBC reported on Saturday. Bono and The Edge have since apologized.

passed through air space monitored by the Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center and appears to have overloaded a computer system at the center...Computers at the center began operations to prevent the U-2 from colliding with other aircraft, even though the U-2 was flying at an altitude of 60,000 feet and other airplanes passing through the region's air space were miles below, NBC reported.
One plane, nowhere near any other planes. Soooo...what happens when there really is a plane on a collision course with another plane? And we trust our lives with this kind of software??? Then again, I'm surprised this hasn't been chalked up to a UFO or a Klingon cruiser descending to San Francisco to rescue the whales.
It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman...no, it's a U-2!

You just know that the system was designed with current airliners as test data and the U2's flight characteristics caused an integer overflow somewhere.

You mean, the altitude was 65537 feet?
