I don't see many job postings on HN for C# developers. When I do it's usually for senior developers and doesn't offer remote.

First link on google has a good definition[0].

tl;dr He probably got flagged for being a day old account (and being argumentative). I try not to say anything too controversial on here since I do not want to meet the same fate.

eli5 your posts are marked dead, so no one will be able to read them.

It's more of a get-off-my-land issue. No government is going to secede land to some fringe group (let alone another government). Look at the situation in Ukraine. The only reason the Crimeans are able to secede from Ukraine is Russia's backing. If you remove Russia from the equation then the Crimeans are left to fight the Ukrainian army and its allies.

The point is you are going to be forced to live under the rules of another no matter where you live (I'm sure there are some Crimeans that would rather not be part of Russia or any other country). Bitcoin has the potential to disrupt the economy, but it cannot provide freedom of movement or freedom from taxation.

Try out HealthSherpa[0]. It shows plans available by location instead of income.

I'm going to take advantage of the cancel link. Ever since they put in the add-on items I've started shopping at the local grocery store.

They have different use cases. Vagrant provisions virtual machines. Docker provisions containers.

Does this violate equal opportunity employment or is there some weird legal exclusion?

I think the solution is continuous monitoring and auditing. Keeping track of the balances is the simple part. Reconciling the balances is the complex part. Banking is inherently eventually consistent, so putting audits in place to verify integrity of the balances is critical.

>negotiations, there are plenty good books out there.

Such as? As a programmer that can't negotiate a decent salary/consulting rate I would find this useful.

A designer friend uses Google Web Designer. They've noted it's gotten a lot better since the release. It also doesn't generate garbage markup like Dreamweaver or similar tools.

How much does YC cost to attend (like boarding, food, transportation, social events)? Would those who attends likely come from a well off background?

Revolution is thoroughly overrated. There is very little point in trying to force change upon an existing system. A system that will replace the current one has to be backwards compatible with the status quo while being forwards compatible with the ideal. The communists made one additional mistake: they wanted to breakdown the existing system and force people to change. That kind of change takes generations to accomplish while the cryptocurrency system is feasible within my lifetime.

Yes our viewpoints do diverge greatly. I believe that people should be free to choose which society to contribute towards not based on arbitrary geographical bounds. However, this will never be possible if there is no separation of government and society (which there is no concept in mainstream politics). To that end mainstream cryptocurrency adoption is the next step to this goal.

>As people, we should want to have the freedom to decide our own fate, not put it in the hands of an alien entity.

This is what I don't understand about your argument: the governance of cryptocurrencies is the same democracy you're advocating elsewhere. The difference is replacing the fallible human element with a set of mathematical rules. Noone is saying the rules cannot change (or altcoins would not exist). The entire purpose of the cryptocurrency experiment is to find rules that everyone will like and aren't based promises from politicians, corporatists, or plutocrats.

One of the best ways of understanding something is to implement it yourself.

To that end Jon Skeet has already documented how to do it in his Edulinq series[0][1].

>Most people who call us idiots for not connecting the dots earlier are those who haven't been here long enough.

I've been a spectator for quite a few years and after their first hack I was out of MtGox. It was tempting to go back, but time-and-time again they proved their incompetence to a degree that I was not going to risk my holdings. They are amateurs and I have my doubts as to whether they've properly applied any knowledge they've gained over the years.

What *nix needs is an OWIN compatible web server.

I do not see where in your sources Austrian Economics "actively rejects empirical research and deductive reasoning." The foundation of Austrian Economics is in studying human behavior in the market (Praxeology[0]). Austrian economists use praxeology give meaning to economic models.

MtGox wrote their own Bitcoin wallet software.

MtGox had a bug in the wallet software that caused it to lose track of outgoing Bitcoin transactions.

People exploited that bug to take out more Bitcoin than they had in their MtGox account.

MtGox shut down Bitcoin withdrawals to fix the bug.

MtGox has not fixed the bug three weeks later and a lot of their customers are anxious.

It is anyone's guess. The MtGox developers have been far from transparent about their current roadblocks. The MtGox BTC price will continue to fall the longer this charade continues. The other exchanges will likely rebound once MtGox is out of the press. MtGox has deviated too much to be relevant in the fast pace of Bitcoin trading. No rational consumer is going to trust them going forward.

I would go Java if the syntax weren't so stale. C# has continued to improve over the years. The BCL and compiler teams are not afraid of breaking changes between major versions. Stability is good (which is why non-nullable reference types won't make the cut), but stagnation kills the ecosystem and drives new contributors away.

This is a good thing. If bigger states break up then there will be better representation in congress.

I am also of the same opinion. Plus he probably doesn't want to lose his Canadian healthcare.

The lack of remote opportunities is disappointing.

>There are great hackers all over the country, and many of them can be talked into moving to the valley.

For all this "we work remote" stuff that is flying around this seems to be a direct contradiction. Is moving to the valley really necessary? I can postulate coming for a face-to-face interview, but I would never want to move to California.

The difference is C, C++, and C# have continued to progress as languages (for better or worse). Java the language is stagnating. Language feature wise it's several years behind C# and C++. Meanwhile Scala is scooping up what Java is lacking.

>Diamond operator

Wow. So instead of adding something like var in C# or auto in C++ they went the opposite way. Makes no sense to me.
