And apparently Obama has also been asking about Bitcoin recently. > The president, whose most important job is surely to protect the integrity of the monetary system, smugly asked Schmidt if Bitcoin, one of many growing challenges to cur

Jacobin is such an annoying magazine. Every time I commit to seriously reading (as opposed to skimming) one of their articles, I still come away with the same conclusion: that it contains almost no substance. Though I guess it's a pl

You know, recent trends in transportation are pretty weird if you think about them. Classic science fiction always predicted a future with space ships and interstellar travel, yet here we are discussing the most efficient ways to pack every

I grew up near the Bama Pie headquarters in Oklahoma, and I think this story is misleading. It omits some important facts in order to push education reform (particularly the core curriculum) and advertise Amanda Ripley's new book. Bama

Would you want the balance of your bank account and its entire transaction history to be publicly accessible? That's the equivalent of only using one address for everything. When you use a separate address for each transaction, it beco
