I agree this policy of OpenLeaks is a bit dubious. The project the Chaos Computer Club are working on is called 'GlobalLeaks'. I cannot determine if it is going to be respectable. EDIT: Just saw that OpenLeaks are going to be at the confere

Other interesting projects include an attempt to have a transparent open source leaking platform to carry on Wikileaks legacy.

Wow. This is going to be interesting. Adioso.com (YC) is an amazing site, Google are going to have to try pretty hard to beat them for Australia, considering what Adioso.com can do without buying out a massive company.

What is special about them is that I can judge their covers and thus judge the person reading them. If your e-reader permanently displays everybook you have read or showed a vague interest in at some point on your wall without seeming like

I've got one: Don't have a computer/video-console/television at home (I admit I am writing this from work). Basically by not having a computer at home, I don't have a bottom-well of comfort called 'reddit' around, so I might go over some ot

Sydney is a great place to live, but is very expensive. To be an academic you need a PhD but in the humanities you will also need to be a Post-Doc (Paid Post-Doctoral Student) for a few years before you can be sure it's 'in the bag'. The eq

To choose to go to this level of depth shows remarkable curiosity in a highschool student.

I just got down voted for pointing out the article is factually wrong and suggesting that it not be up voted for that reason. Believe what you want to believe internets!

I am not saying to trust LulzSec, but to address this information? Also the price is roughly 24 hours old. I don't think this article deserves to find its way on the front of Hacker News, by the time it did, the information contained in wou

Don't upvote this article. It hasn't addressed LulzSec's claim that they were selling off. It is back up to around $25 again.

On the other issue, re the 'horrible at math', if you can manage, work through 'Project Euler'(google it), say one a day or 3-4 a week. If you can do more, great, but the aim is to get a long-term habit going. Get into the habit of doing a

Last I checked they were alive and well. As for them supposedly being Amateurs, no... no they are not. The attacks they are pulling they could get away with if they kept the secret. But something is motivating them.

vs CouchSurfing, a totally free service. But there are good reasons AirBnb is in no way threatened by CouchSurfing. For a start it is contractual, and that matters when it comes to accommodation because people want security.

For all the talk of bubbles, I think AirBnb is actually undervalued at $1billion. I want this noted. Before AirBnb space was being wasted. Now its being used. That is something of fundamental value. The dubious valuations are things like Fo
