I think many founders echo his motivations. The one that he implicitly suggests is misaligned is: I wanted the best odds I could possible get at attaining the tipping point of financial stability. And that this is due to the corruption of

The blockchain's distributed consensus algorithm manages the network tokens (e.g. Bitcoins) very well. These tokens and their corresponding transaction data are small in size. Storing large web documents in the blockchain will blow up

Regarding the last point on continued access to account information: opting-out from this is much worse than opting-in. Think of all the people who used homejoy and don't read HN - wouldn't they want the same?

I agree that less competition is bad, but isn't the primary reason for expensive drugs is because of the Pharmaceutical companies who discover them, not the pharmacies that distribute them? Regardless, this change certainly won't

People do it for the reputation. It seems the only solution is to have one's identity linked across separate places on the Internet. Many are opposed to that for reasons such as the negative exposure you're giving people in your a

Since it's on GitHub, you could fork the repo, add any resources, and submit a merge request! Or create an issue that brings the omission to everyone's attention.

First, I am not a lawyer, and you should probably consult one if you're worried. Second, I would "cease and desist" running that service (as stated in the letter), be it a torrent proxy or whatever. It's possible for fil

Google just partnered with General Assembly to get more Android programmers [1] which is odd given the pay is so low. Does anyone know if the Android platform is considered "untapped" compared to Apple's? That's the only

The diminishing earning potential means there are more resources capable of fulfilling what role you're performing. Hoping to remain exclusive is not in the best interest of the field, is it? I see relentless ageism as the result of th

This is a very interesting hypothesis. I've noticed my hearing has degraded in recent years and I'm definitely prone to anxiety in social settings - particularly in settings of new and/or recently acquainted people. But, I&#x

This is a good point you raise. Violating Craigslist's terms, playing business hardline, and the other issues presented on that wiki section are indeed controversial. But I'm pretty okay with letting them slide in pursuit of Airbn

I don't think the ad is that bad in the world of smear campaigns. But it is a smear campaign, which is very unlike Airbnb. All I hope is that they return to their higher standards of respect for the community - it's a principal th

Beautiful site, but their call to action at the bottom leaves a lot to be desired. I want to "join" something that feels broader than what is projected at the bottom (a text-invite w/ a tweet link).

The last time I tried to use StartSSL, I kept getting an SSL failure on https://auth.startssl.com/.. . Go figure. I ended up paying $10 on namecheap instead.

I wonder why they picked L-Theanine for their first experiment - the effects are commonly known (caffeinated tea vs caffeinated coffee). Maybe this knowledge was used deliberately so people "feel" a drug the first time around, and

Is there much of a difference between freelancing and software contracting? I've met a handful people who are part of a company (read: agency) of 1-5 and making really good money ($60/hr+). But they're also in the Bay Area.
