climate change is one of those few issues where an alarmist attitude is actually needed. Still need to get more media outlets to change from saying "save the planet" to "save humanity".

This sounds more like advice on not picking the right technologies but know how to optimize the ones you already use.

Looks like it'd be fun tech for a museum too. Instead of having those podium things where people read about the artwork just have museum visitors download the "Museum of Modern Art" app and use your beacons to transmit info.

Okay so if you didn't post this I would never have known about sheetsu. Great project! I wish HN would do one day out of the month where commenters could post their "Show HN" that they released that month. Much like the Who

Good question. I believe the thinking behind the UBI experiment is that YC wants to specifically do an experiment. Not start a charity. Maybe down the line YC would consider starting a charity but I don't think that's in their

The banks needed to be bailed out or else there would've been a massive bank run on the scale of the Great Depression. The people who made those MBS trades should have gone to jail, and they didn't. That's where the injustice

It's truly incredible that I can sit here, plug my headphones into this little electrical box and "hear" the gravitational sound of two black holes colliding. If only Mr. Einstein could be here to listen.

the unemployment rate dropped because more people left the workforce and became discouraged workers (a la haven't searched for work in the past 4 weeks).

Hate speech is free speech. I don't like how the article associates hate speech with the war on terror within one paragraph. Not a good sign for human rights.

From what I've read the 'Swift Hack' was actually just a failure to reconfigure the server configuration from it's factory settings at the Bangladesh bank. Not necessarily a hack of the Swift Software, right? Edit: Sour

To the 1940's, the last decade IMO when the only people who went to college went because they wanted to learn about meaningful questions on those subjects. Many students go to college now, but very few go on to actually study the foun

Agreed but the point of the article is that these students are rebelling against literally any form of challenge to their own ideals. They actually don't identify with any ideals; they make up their own! On no factual basis. The art

Back in the day (I'm talking way back) college was all about exploring the scientific method, history, literature, and economics. Today these kids aren't doing any of that and, thus, have too much free time on their hands. So the

Trump will bring a new level of fear to non-WASPs. A true authoritarian. I really hope he does not receive the presidency.

The owner of the blockchain can of course forge values! The computational power of the network of a private blockchain is fairly easily overcome.

But why do companies need to host their own blockchain? What is the value proposition in doing so?

Can someone please explain why there are so many banks interested in a private blockchain? Isn't that more expensive than just building on top of something like ethereum?

somebody wrote an api to allow you to read NY Times articles for micropayments in terms of satoshis [1]. You currently need a 21 Inc bitcoin computer to utilize the api but still neat to see someone is working on it. Unfortunately I can&#
