I wasn't boycotting his company because Palantir used them. (I'm not in his company's target demographic anyway) I was saying that it seems like a poor business strategy to badmouth clients because of an anoymous comment that

It's absolutely unbelievable how groupthink manages to take over here sometimes. There are 296 repositories on Github when you search for PRISM. People need to stop and think for a minute about how generic of a name that is. It's

Why would you disclose that publicly? That pretty much reads as: "Don't use Repustate" to me.

I attended a conference in Montreal where Palantir demoed their software. They used a large amount of data on an ecoli outbreak to map out and track the point of origin. Simply because a company isn't public about all its activities an

I know that feeling. I remember seeing a post regarding the popularity of C# a few months back and the comments were filled with complaints that C# was more verbose than Python, lacked the instant gratification of PHP, had poor OOP when com

If this is true and any individual holds 1M BTC, it must take an incredible amount of self restraint not to dump those coins. That means the book value of his coins would have fluctuated between approximately $250M and $100M this week. You'

This doesn't really speak much to software patents (I'm assuming those are of particular interest to HN). Does anyone know what the status of software patents in Canada is currently? If I were to judge solely based on the articles I read, t

You've got the right idea, but I think your numbers are off. If you shorted 25 BTC at $200.00 would you not be credited with $5,000? So when the price rises to $400 you would have to buy back the equivalent amount with $5,000 of your own do

Buying and selling to yourself on Cavirtex would be a strange decision. You'd lose 3% on each trade you make.

Why are you hoping people sell something at this level? Why does it matter? If you're interested in protecting the masses from a ponzi-scheme, you're basically just saying "Those holding Bitcoins currently should get out, but other people s

Even if there were a way, you do not want to short something that jumps 15% in a day even if you believe it's overvalued. In the long run you might be right, but when you get margin called it won't matter. Just 15 days ago, it was trading a

Amazon pays that to first time co-ops. I've seen salaries reach $8,500. Apple pays even more if you're willing to pull a lot of overtime.

Do you guys do co-op positions/internships? I realize you're a super small team, so it's understandable if you don't. I'm a student at the University of Waterloo with experience building automated trading systems at TD Securities in C/C++.

Short selling Bitcoins would be an incredibly risky move on your part. There are no financial regulations in place to prevent market manipulation. You used to be able to short sell on Bitcoinica and there were some really questionable margi
