Going on Coinmarketcap and clicking any coin's website in the top 50 will take you to basically the same type of site.

- Featuring voice-over video explaining why _this_ coin is the most decentralized and secure.

- A team page showcasing an absurdly large number of team members with stockphoto-like profiles photos.

- A roadmap, of which they're all on stage one.

- Whitepaper linked from primary navigation.

I would love an analysis on who is moving the market today. In the last month there have been three occurrences where the price of BTC jumped 10% in a single moment (followed by equal sell-offs hours/days later).

Stranger still, all coins seem highly correlated. BTC goes up, all coins go up.

I realize this behavior is not new and the market has been highly correlated since the beginning, ...but why?

There are plenty of UI which allows users to scroll but does not feature a scroll bar. This is standard on mobile operating systems.

Bitcoin has an artificial transaction cap because it's conservative. It's been raised before and will be raised in the future.

I thought one of the founding principles is that new money will not be created?

Unrelated to your comment, but re: #3 and #5 ...why shouldn't Bitcoin's value be the cost to mine it?

Might be a silly question, but I haven't seen this pattern before. Why keep your variables defined in a separate file?

Edit: I see why now

Electron 3.0.0 8 years ago

With so many platforms that's unrealistically expensive. It's not just Windows and OS X anymore.

I think this is a fair comment but Chrome has been doing this a lot lately. They'll make a change and developers must scramble to fix their websites.

It's the same with autocomplete earlier this year. One day Google decides to ignore autocomplete="off" and all hell breaks lose.

Interesting to note, they have reverted this change. Google now respects autocomplete="off" in some scenarios (i.e. when autofill is not triggered via name attribute).

Note: autocomplete !== autofill

Bullshit Jobs 8 years ago

Same thing happened with me at my old software development job. Company went through a merger but I left before it completed. I stayed for nine months, working from home, but with no work to do.

I did freelancing but eventually got very depressed. Quit my job, left my apartment and moved back with my parents.

Regarding your recommend point, I think Occam's razor applies. Seems unlikely there is an unconscious collective purposely avoiding AMP links.

It's much more likely that the changes done to a website to satisfy AMP affected the conversion rate.

Love letter to Vue 8 years ago

I wonder if there has ever been an article on Vue where both the article and comments aren't a direct comparison to React.

Look no further than these comments. As always it's a mix of, "I tried React and hated it, then I tried Vue and loved it!" or visa versa.

Metrics such as "I understood it immediately" or "it didn't feel right to me" are shallow and meaningless.

Fact is, React and Vue are increasingly similar. So why these types of articles make the front-page once a week is beyond me.
