please give extra scrutiny to blockchain start ups looking to ICO. I've seen Y Combinator tossed around for a couple companies as a means to pump their coin, and I'm sure a lot of would be scam coiners would love that type of atte

Would it be economically feasible to use the hyperloop to transport just goods and not people, similar to a pipeline vs train transport? I always see it referenced in connection to human travel, but it seems like safety is one of the bigges

Tezos was set up in a way to avoid any sort of regulatory scrutiny. Remember the ICO wasn't an ICO. It was a 'donation' in which no obligations were promised toward the donators. They can't change their minds later and c

I live in Brooklyn as well and some things I've noticed: 1. If there's an uptick in crime, police will put up a manned tower for a while. 2. If there's a murder, they will set up a mobile command center in the vicinity. 3. Th

It was an honest question. I don't see what your beef is. So many top level employees show to put their name on something for a year and leave with a payout. I've fallen scam to this a number of times myself.

It'd be nice if some of the money were used to make it easier for charities to convert to cash as quickly as possible. Bitcoin pointlessly consumes so much dirty energy, I imagine many environmental charities see bitcoin akin to blood

I wonder how much this has to do with the strong push for Online Pharmacies over the past decade. I hate using them, but my deductible costs next year have increased so much that I will have no choice.

I say good. Those coins don't need to go mainstream so they can be held, pumped, and dumped. Let people use them for buying drugs.

The content is still in their CMS somewhere. They just redirected the index to a different page. Could have even been someone who didn't work directly at DNAInfo. Ricketts employs a lot of people.

Sounds like he fired every single employee on the spot. I can see the logic behind redirecting the site to a static asset when you have nobody to manage it.

Same for Italy. I always thought, like Greece and Poland, it's where EU manufacturers get cheap labor. On the flip side, I thought made in Japan would be top 3. People always look for the label on Japanese line products (zojirushi, fuj

I disagree. There are probably 100 Stanley's in line for these positions and the recruiter is helping to weed out the smug ones. Part of his job.

How many more blockchain "hype" articles do we have to go through before we get one about an actual product that people use to do something with other than speculate on value?

the major appeal of the union is that you can't get fired or laid off. This type of job security is crucial because it gives you massive leverage when it comes to fighting for those other things. No matter how good the pay is, you can
