Huge respect to Tim Cook for standing up for the personal information security of Apples users around the world. When a non tech demands something as stupid as a back door, they do not acknowledge how weak they make data security.

True, I think I was influenced by the sensationalist headline.

Just reading that headline makes me think to myself. Why ask Goldman Sachs? They are clearly ahead of the capitalism game so of course they are gonna say it works well!?!? Asking the richest capitalists in the world if capitalism works is a

Very clever. I just hope Buzzfeed don't chase you down and force you to take the list down!

Interesting list. I clicked on the top book and Amazon peer reviews gave it 2.5 stars out of 5 with 450+ reviews. I admire the effort. Calling it Top Books is slightly misleading. Perhaps you can call it, most mentioned books.

People seem to forget that it is NOT in BitFury's best interest to perform a 51% attack because, bitcoin's value will plummet if they do that.

I like what your concept is a lot. I do not think a huge number of payments are going to be made using it, HOWEVER, I think this is just the beginning of a much larger movement behind micropayments for ad-free content. I've been wantin

Thanks for the share. Relevant given politicians are currently, and predictably using the recent news to push through various snoopers charters. Has nobody told them that in reality, the problem is not encryption. Its poor foreign policy as

I second that, thanks for the share ph33r. The story highlights that 'smartness' is linked more to a learning mentality then actually knowing a lot of things. Humility. Similarly to the study shared in the OP, if you tell yourself
