I'm pretty sure people start work around 8 or 9 no matter what time zone you are in...

I thought April Fool's was April 1st, not October 1st.

duh. better security == better security.

The cost of living in San Francisco is 68% more than Kansas City (source: http://www.bankrate.com/calcul...). According to Brooking's Institute report the average salary for a tech job is 96% more (source: http://www.brookings.edu/resea...). So it all depends where you fall in that spectrum. I wouldn't be surprised if some one-percenters are skewing the San Francisco average. Last time I compared salaries, it was less than a 50% increase for me to work at Apple, but I didn't compare any other companies.

Agreed. I was jumping on y turkeyfish's comment without thinking it through. Districting is irrelevant to the senate races.

From the article (emphasis mine):

If you are interested in what vote share can tell us -- and we’ll focus on this for the rest of this article -- we can just add up the total number of votes cast for all Democratic candidates and Republican candidates in the 2010, 2012 and 2014 elections, using Dave Leip’s election atlas as a source. It works out to 103 million votes for Democrats to 98 million votes for Republicans: a difference of 5 million votes, or 2.5 points. This is still a meaningful difference between the share of votes cast for Democrats and the share of seats that they won, but it isn’t the outrageous result that Vox headlined.

That number is very misleading: http://www.realclearpolitics.c...

I guess the Senate race did have completely different numbers. Interesting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

Your number is way off. In the House the GOP got 4.4 million more votes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2014) Haven't found the senate numbers yet.

That's why we need to agree on an open algorithm to do districting.

American's voted the Republicans into the majority. If the Democrats were in majority, he would not be leading the subcommittee. So in a sense, you did vote for this, you might have just been outvoted.

Because that interest will not cover inflation.

It's hard to buy or sell bitcoin with fiat currencies (e.g. US Dollar). Online exchanges facilitate that. Why people keep it in online wallets for an extended period of time? Maybe they trust professionals to lock down their business better than they can lock down their own PC. Plus you have to work about disk corruption etc.

Much better article. Thank you. Is there any general direction we should look, or just UP?
