As 1ba9115454 says, most of these ICOs are for tokens. Like the dotcom bubble of 1999/2000, the majority are garbage or pie in the sky but some are interesting and backed by decent teams. A few that are at least plausible (in no parti

According to the article, the victims were under the impression that Uber would report it to the police as part of their investigation in to the driver.

AFAIK Uber are subsidizing users and drivers, so both? Although I think the users are getting the better end of the deal.

Billions of VC investment money. Actually, I don't agree with the GP. In my view Uber represents one of the biggest transfers of wealth from VCs to the common man in the last three decades. When the funding eventually dries up and Uber

Sure: "The letter concluded by pointing out that these weren’t the only incidents the Metropolitan Police had become aware of. In total, Uber had failed to report six sexual assaults, two public order offences and one assault to the po

I don't think you could be more wrong. Quote from the Mayor: “I want companies that abide by the rules, I want companies that innovate, harbour new technologies, I want disruptive technology coming to London but you’ve got to play by t

Read the article. It's not about the quantity of assaults, it's about Uber not reporting them to the police.

I see your point but I assume the producers of the hack own the rights and IP to their work i.e. there's nothing stopping them releasing what they did as open source and building a community around it (at least that's been the cas

I and a lot of my friends use Revolut and it's excellent. They're a very well funded FinTech startup and have been around for a few years.

Really agree with this. Not everything is about money, if it was we wouldn't have squid, postfix, apache, nodejs, python and the millions of other open source software that I and everyone else here relies on daily. Ask the maintainer o

Don't most states in the US already have sales tax (which is effectively VAT by another name)?

Great hack. Really enjoyed reading this! Noob question: the weld as shown in the AR video looks really detailed (fissures, deformations etc). Was that rendered by you using the heightmap data alone or did you have access to top and bottom i

Confusingly, the email field in your HN profile is not public. You need to add it to the "About" bit if you want people to be able to contact you :)

Maybe it's familiarity but having just tried this (and Iosevka recommended elsewhere in the thread), I much prefer Consolas. Find it a lot easier on my eyes (this is with the Monokai-Cobalt theme on VSCode).

Honestly, I'd only go to the effort of mimicking Letsencrypt internally if you are already using their service for prod and wanted to keep your dev environment very close to this. Here's a gist you can follow if you'd like to

Paypal has existed since 1998 but it took 10+ years for it to achieve deep, global merchant penetration and consumer acceptance. Bitcoin needs time but I don't think it's unreasonable to imagine it will one day meet and then surpa

The aspect I like the most is BTC becoming a global currency. It's so nice wiring "money" to friends/family/businesses and not worrying about exchange rates, multiple banks taking a percentage en-route, sending limi

I think it will get there eventually. Segwit adoption, lightning network support, successfully navigating the upcoming fork etc. will bring transaction fees and confirmation times down. Even if 1BTC hits $100K in a few years, the smallest f

I don't get it. If you don't like facebook or how they operate their platform, don't use it. Surely every person in your life has one or more of a). a phone number you can call them on or send an sms to, b). whatsapp/sky

I like Chilie's approach to visa fees: they charge you whatever your country charges Chileans. So it's something like €100 if you are German and €1200+ if you are from the UK :D

Agree but try "last 300+ years" rather than 30. Sadly I don't think Brexit will be their salvation. The problem with the UK and class has always lied with domestic politics. This wont change whether we're in or out of Eu

In Lisbon, Portugal it's like NYC. Any expat or local will tell you that they feel infinitely safer and more comfortable in an Uber than they do in a normal taxi.
