Ugh, Google Reader wasn't a "huge part of the web," it was a product offered by a company. If GR and RSS were basically equivalent then Google was right to conclude that RSS wasn't popular. RSS is an open standard and GR

Pretty well, all things considered.

I don't think you can expect users to be anything but selfishly motivated, and concerned with their own experience only. I don't think most will care about the experience of others. Certainly not if they're deleting their own

Some companies don't sell ads or user data at all, but use related user information to detect things like scam rings on dating sites, spam rings on forums, and fraud rings on finance sites. If that information can just be deleted at th

It seems like he's thinking of where the technology has the potential to go, and you're limiting yourself to thinking about how it performs today.

I like that Google's search results are personalized and pull relevant info from my use of their other services. DDG doesn't have that.

The page itself does this by calling out "tech bros".

People could list all sorts of reasons they don't want specific types of people. That doesn't mean they're right.

There is no possible reality in which the observation of anything can be explained by absolute nothingness. We know that existence exists, and that within that existence is consciousness capable of perceiving it. These are self-evident axio

It is an observed axiom, rather than an "accepted" axiom, which the article implies is the only kind.

There's nothing inherently scummy about money itself. It's just a tool for human organization.

Originally 21 produced hardware, which I imagine is a much more expensive industry to be in. That may have something to do with it.

I think it's an interpretation of the HN title.

Regarding electricity consumption, what do you think of the argument that mining is so competitive that it can only be profitable by subsidized electricity, and that electricity is only subsidized when the local jurisdiction is creating mor

If this is really a huge deal for you, it sounds like you're just not the target audience. I'm a keybase user and I think this is really cool.

Bitpay and Coinbase's old merchant tools both already use a 15 minute window. Not sure what Sprite is but most likely the influence was the other way around.

It only takes about 10 minutes to get verified on Coinbase. The majority of people are done in this amount of time. It's when something goes wrong and you can't get a response from customer service that is a problem. After all thi

I wouldn't say it's necessarily the thing to do, but there is a chance that it forms an addiction and/or bad habits which life might be more enjoyable without. I don't prescribe to the "porn is evil" mantra,

I feel a little bit like, give me a break... Google actually has some legit products which are actually the most relevant search results for some queries. If those are the only things you see at the top you're not really looking for an

It's not a hijack, it's just how trends and language work. If you want "crypto" to be used for something else, you have to make that something else. Crypto communication, crypto news, etc. If "crypto currency"
