ToS aren't law, what matters in court is what the judge decides, and they can decide that certain ToS terms were never valid. But the question is whether it makes financial sense to do so, where for most accounts the answer will be no

Sue them for lost interest. You should have a strong case in principle, however, in practice, it's most likely not worth it for you (which is the real reason why this is happening). But if you have a lawyer friend who can give a firs

Realistically, those guys are facing a choice between an option for a very comfortable early retirement and getting roadblocked / litigated into oblivion. Can you really blame them?

Probably just shows that the HN reputation model isn't too hard to game. I actually don't know what their defence against Sybil attacks looks like.

I'm guessing a lot of HN users didn't enter their own username, and even if you did, you can still contaminate your data by entering another one.

Could we change the headline to "Chainalysis CTO said blockchain is easier to trace than paper money"? It's factually more relevant because that's his current employer.

Sure, this wasn't meant as a judgement. Logic straddles mathematics and philosophy (and CS), and being considered the founder of an important philosophical school is arguably one of the biggest achievements possible for a scholar, so t

It sounds like a cool idea if I get it right (organize links to wikipedia articles in a way that could correspond to a curriculum), but the quality of the curation at least for mathematics looks abysmal. Here are some of the top-level categ

Ok - it is a true shame that the YouTube copyright claim system is so broken as to enable those shady practices, and that politicians still haven't upped their knowledge of the internet beyond a 'series of tubes'. But surely

It's probably not profitable at this point. But if ESA is going to waste money anyway, then why waste it on an obsolete rocket design?

The Ariane rocket project must be one of the biggest embarrassments not only in space aviation, but as a wholesale indictment of government-funded projects that have a direct comparison with market-based competitors. That the lesson learnt

Two thoughts: how sure are you that the safety levels achieved by humans during bad vision would be considered acceptable for AVs? And secondly: humans have access to a reasonable (non-artificial) general intelligence.

I think you're giving them a bit too much credit on the international dimension there. For 'obscure' destinations, it can be hard to even get useable government bond yield statistics.
