I think it's clear that this is very uncoincidentally an extremely timely award. The average person may have no idea, but we are in the middle of a cryptowar[1]. [1] http://reason.com/archives/2013/03/12&

Is there anyway to decrease the opacity? Knowing when a tug of war is happening vs when a story is just not important/not popular is compelling/valuable/meaningful. https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/03&

This is really cool! I'm a conlanger and I'd love a tutorial on creating fonts. Cherokee Wikipedia looks like it's just getting started: https://chr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%8E%A4%E1%8E%B5%E1%8E%AE%E...

My first thought is to contrast this with Bitcoin which really is Internet money. It's delocalized by default.

So facebook doesn't have viable competitors, it owns its viable competitors? ;)
