If Godzilla is angry, that is an ominous sign.

If MtGox were too big to fail, the taxpayer would cover their losses. Looks like someone wants a bailout. Nice work if you can get it--the question for me is, how do I get in on this? If the answer is that I cannot, then allow me some shade

Yes, better to allocate the funds to a cause you actively oppose if you fail.

A general principle is to never contribute to anyone else's power law distribution.

The MtGox Bitcoin deserves to go to zero.

I love platitudinous bosses. They never level up.

It's also good experience to immerse yourself in sulphuric acid, to better appreciate clear water.

Putdown of others is a hallucination. For me there is the opportunity cost of dealing with unnecessary clutter or deciding what to watch and making time for it. I simply do not have the time. For me, TV has an irritating hypnotic effect I w

Right. There is the principle--and then there is the question of controlling your environment, of cognitive self-defense. TV and the associated paraphenalia introduces clutter and extraneous cognitive load. And it does this out of proportio

I'm a cord cutter. A cord cutter looking for the cheapest alternative, which is to consume no television at any price. It would be good to know how atypical that is.

Only my comment here was apt.

Why? I geniunely cannot stand television. I cannot force myself to watch. That goes for most films. It's smug to assert a preference and act on it?

Smug, presumptuous article. I cut my cord over a decade ago and have no desire to watch TV or Netflix (especially not to watch MPAA films) on the Internet. I have no interest in paying a "Comcast tax," and if that means no movies

In that case, maybe publishing the addresses wasn't the most discreet thing imaginable. Still my "holdings" amount to a Starbucks card converted to BTC through an online service mentioned on HN. I wanted to motivate myself to

OK. The article mentions an unconfirmed transaction starting with 1Enjoy1...

These are Bitcoin addresses. The hash for the first is 197c054e032f9b6b406625b49fcb2c429c0825633143d082bbbdbcd5fa368bd4 I do not know if it is modified. Neither of them are confirmed. (I converted my Starbucks card balance to a meager fract

Interesting. I have been "receiving" .00001 BTC from an address beginning with 1Enjoy (1Enjoy1C4bYBr3tN4sMKxvvJDqG8NkdR4Z). This has been ongoing since Feb 10. Another .00001 BTC unconfirmed showed up from another address starting

Although I have a PhD. in mathematics, I found the field needlessly, gratuitously competitive--nasty even--and I left. Math education--another related subject which mathematicians often feel competent to pronounce upon--seems to be a mine

Is this a high turnover place? I was working at a shop with 25 employees. After I left (I quit after a short time), seven other people left in the space of three months. For that year, sixteen people left. Abuse takes its toll.
