"The FBI is obviously lying about how they got the information they have. They clearly broke into the Silk Road servers." This isn't obvious at all and the only backing we've seen for this is some butthurt speculation. M

So wait because your pet candidate didn't win it's a farce? Children's and girl's education rights are completely worthy of a prize.

It stands to reason that in the long run Samsung would get better margins if they are consistently the majority of phones sold on all carriers. All things being equal its to the carriers advantage to have a number of suppliers.

This is just the return to the natural state of the licensed OS market. Samsung got all that business by using their verticals to undercut everyone by pennies and then turned those carrier deals into profits via scale and by going with mor

You haven't shown that it isn't class leading. You've only shown that one phone beats it in one category and not by a lot, two categories if we count pounds to deform. The Anandtech link above shows the new iPhones basically

The killer features ended up being battery life and connectivity, exactly the areas where a traditional wintel laptop struggled. In contrast its primary strength was the enormous windows app catalog and that's been heavily mitigated.

Presumably the Bitcoins were not worth anything when he mined them and he won't owe any capital gains until he sells them.

Now First Blood is an underrated movie but I'm not sure it, or anything else, supports your claims. Hiding in the mountains has been a proven way of lowering life expectancy for millennia.

If you were very paranoid would you rely exclusively on security through obscurity? It might also occur to you to diversify out of the thing that puts you at risk. Maybe there's even some sort of establishment that can hold funds more

So you're saying holding Bitcoin can be hazardous to our health? Whoa, I don't think that's one of the approved talking points.

Why is every mention of possible disclosure of Satoshi's identity fraught with heavy overtones of "Your Life Is In Grave Danger"? We have many people who are much richer whose identities are not secret and we don't need

Most of the current crop of smartwatches trying to be lightweight smartphones are all turkeys and have fizzled. Kind of like the early tablets that tried to be computers when the actual product demands a 8-10 hour (work/school day) ba

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm not saying a Seiko mechanism is going to power any kind of smartdevice functions (although you might combo a tiny backup quartz mechanism so that when your smartwatch dies it can still tell time)

Not power hungry for a phone but for a watch it's a dog. Recharge a watch twice a day, how is that "not THAT power hungry"? A watch needs an order of magnitude less CPU power than a phone, perhaps several. In 2014 if you se

The CPU benchmarks don't make it a good CPU. It's old and power hungry, that's primarily why it sucks.

The problem isn't battery technology, the problem is the popular conception of what a "smartwatch" is.

First we're not a monolith. Second, I don't see people advocating for due process so much as I see outright advocacy and willful ignorance of the idea that it's possible for the FBI to indict someone without violating their d

Well good luck with the Ross Ulbricht canonization effort, sir.

The idea that because some Federal agents have lied therefore we should discount anything all of them say is farcial.

If by we, you mean Ulbricht's lawyers, I'm sure they're on it since illegal search is basically his only defense. We, the HN community, could probably find plenty of worthy people to advocate for that don't go around pay

I doubt they'd hire someone externally for that and I doubt Anand's taste really aligns with what Apple is going for. I imagine he's going to be taking over a lot of what Katie Cotton used to do. I also imagine maybe (big ma

If you knew the manager of a big box electronics store in the 90's it was not hard to come by a large variety of computer parts. The scene in 40 year old virgin where they destroy all the returns is pretty accurate to what is supposed
