It seems likely that a lot of people bought it, like I did, for a novel experience regardless of whether or not the experience is actually fun. We're living in quite the renaissance of game exploration. I wonder if the indie game genre

Yes I was so mad when Windows 8 came out because of Metro and I thought if they had just released something that looked like Windows 7 and said, "We made it leaner, we cut the boot time by 40%. Shutdown is faster too and we made over 2

Where did you read that he does not have internet at his home? Do you have a link? I've been keeping pretty up to date on this story, but I haven't heard that anywhere else. If true that is pretty damning evidence I think.

Yeah LLVM would be really cool like emscripten, but for x86. I would like to see a performance comparison of this approach vs. running a full virtual machine since the x86 to arm conversion approach still requires a wine lib to execute all

Of course the value exceeds the salaries. If you look at a company like Apple right now, they basically have unlimited money to pay salaries based off of proceeds from products that are built by their engineering team. Any budget that a dep

Third option would also be actual negligence which is an interesting case because people are used to dealing with banks and do not realize that they will not get their money back. Im not suggesting FDIC style protection for Bitcoin exchange

Probably not much it depends on if it's a hacked account or not and then if they do in fact know the identity of the hacker then it becomes a legal thing. They can't do anything to revert the theft. It would be an interesting cour

He mentions the timing of the MtGox announcement being odd. What happened at MtGox was somewhat different. MtGox was submitting transactions that were being rejected due to being malformed according to the latest Bitcoin client software. Wh

I'm not sure what you are describing as incorrect. Tipping 100 Bitcoins would cost nearly $100,000. Yes, you can tip the same value in Bitcoins, but tipping a decimal amount is not fun since everyone is conditioned to local currency va

This is absolutely the source of the transactions. When you consider that no other crypto currency has a mass appeal use at this point, it makes sense that the transactions would be higher for DOGE than any other. Conversely, The primary us

People tip other people Dogecoins on sites like Reddit. That's its main use and that's why there are so many transactions. Since the coin has a total supply of 100 billion coins vs 21 million for Bitcoin, you can easily tip someon

You can certainly argue that the extra experience you have from previous work makes up for that relative to a replacement candidate who can work for a ramen salary. I'm not completely convinced that's true in the general case Th

From the other comments in this thread I think part of the problem is defining a startup. Some people are mentioning bootstrap startups that they do after work and that's why they take no salary.

I've always heard that a founder's salary should be the amount that allows the founder to focus on the business. The concept of a super low salary seems to be focused on the 20 something single crowd. I have a family to support, s

That's a good point and I'd definitely like to see some quantitative studies on that.

Right. I think the big issue is that we are one NSA key leak away from breaking every product that uses this type of encryption. It introduces a single point of failure.

The problem that I've found with those environments is that the 60% of downtime you have is usually when people are socializing instead of working. That means it's not actually that easy to focus on your own project. Also the offi

Good point. The entire value of NMC blockchain is to remove reliance on the current DNS system which this would kind of nullify. Another related topic is that a judges ruling is meaningless in regards to NMC, so for example, if someone were

Wow now I'm pissed. I had the same issue but didn't make a public stink about it. Just got my coins today with no credit for the mistake and the same issue of my coins being frozen at a higher price. Looks like I should have been

That's a good point and the other side of the coin is that it seems very likely there are people on HN that work for the NSA and just read HN in their free time for fun.

Given the recent Snowden leaks about the NSA collecting information to discredit "radicalizers" that is pretty funny. The NSA very clearly was holding information that they did not want getting out such as back doors in encryption

I was not suggesting that Hacker News is particularly special. I think it's probably naive knowing what we know now to believe that the largest information intelligence organization in the world does not use part of its resources to mo
