I suggest you add these comments to the IAMA going on right now:

Most of your points are completely moot.

Why are they moot? Also, the team is arrogant, incompetent, and dismissive, and r/Iota is heavily moderated by them.

Damn nice. 3,203.09 in eth in that wallet hehe

About 15 eth, worth about $3,200. But he can hope for more.

Do you remember your password?

From the Ethereum presale message:

    You are about to make an ether purchase. Please keep the attached wallet file safe. It will serve as a cryptographic receipt of your purchase, along with your password.

    The password you created and entered on the sale site is the key to your ether so please do not forget it. And please note: there are no mechanisms in place that will enable the Ethereum team to help you recover a lost password. Once it is lost, your purchased ether will be permanently inaccessible.

Wealth also correlates with intelligence. Intelligence is mostly determined by genetics (studies show ~70% to 80%).

> Wealth also correlates with intelligence.

Given that many environmental conditions to which exposure (in many cases, particularly early childhood exposure) demonstrably adversely impacts intelligence are more likely to be avoided with wealth (that is, both inversely correlated and with a clear causative mechanism for that correlation), this isn't at all surprising.

> Wealth also correlates with intelligence

Can you cite a source for this?

I can see how it might follow from the assumption that intelligent people are more likely to succeed in their careers but keeping the GP in context, it should also be noted that not all intelligent people succeed because of various factors.

Generally this is incorrect. http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0912/how-intellig...

But there does seem to be a correlation between IQ and income. https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2008/02/06/correlation...

This latter correlation could be explained by the wealth of the parents, as IQ may be a cultural artifact and income is correlated on education.

update:

after hour currently at 675.01. Price increase +73.01 (12.13%)

With a market cap of half of Apple's they made ... 1/20 of the profit. For the first time ever.

what are the growth prospects for Apple vs. Amazon? Market cap is influenced by speculators who want to buy low and sell high, and to them - the bigger the growth prospects, the better.

I think this comment just reinforces his point hahahaha

Probably doing something that violates TOS or something borderline illegal. I see cases like his all the time on various forums and they seems to be missing some important details...

There's nothing illegal about returning defective products. In fact, there's nothing in the TOS about returning too many products or anything like that.

Oh okay I see. I thought you meant you were using Amazon Web Services to do something or host something borderline illegal, which I have actually seen a couple times while working here.

I'm sorry, but how is it possible to finish this level in 5 blocks?

http://i.imgur.com/76qMY6c.png

We began 2 blocks left from the bottom right block

You know that the "repeat" block can have multiple steps inside of it, right? i.e. 4x(North,West) should have done it.

EDIT: http://imgur.com/jOHpJqn

Didn't know you can do that :( Thanks.

No problem. The affordance for that particular UI element is not the most obvious.

I haven't played it yet, but looking at the screenshot I would guess it means the logic blocks on the left not the game board spaces.

EDIT: Wait, maybe you already realize that. Is there a while loop of something that you can use?

EDIT2: You can have more than one direction in a loop block. You can actually solve it with 3 blocks.

Nested loops.

Actually, 105k but it's not that hard to believe in the bay area.

Even if Hack Reactor is an exception to the rule paying 105k for someone with 3 months experience is genuine insanity.

Looks as though they keep a pretty high bar for their students and that will lead to an overall more talented grad than your everyday bootcamp but its still crazy.

For that price you could hire 3 excellent remote workers.

I've looked at the alumni they have on their site - most seem to be hired by startups (ie. companies that likely have more money than sense). Coupled with the knowledge that its BA then maybe we're a little closer to an explanation.

Still utter insanity.

I have ~4 years of experience and I make 60k, and feel like I'm worth closer to 35-40.

Wonder where this industry will be when the bubble pops.
