This is really cool, and I hate to nitpick, but comparing "up to 90 minutes" with a "average wait time of 18 minutes" is misleading, wrong, and annoying. Let's compare average to average, not max to average.

I think the main point of the site is the list of hashtag suggestions below your freshly hashtag-prefxed content. Mildly interesting idea, however the suggestions I got with a few tests weren't that awe-inspiring.

I think it is a cool idea. Kind of like snapchat for status updates. We all could use some letting out of built up feelings every now and then

C is reasonable. Maybe if DNA gathering robots become cheap enough, and the NSA starts scouring the world vacuuming up DNA for the database -- then B might be reasonable, but probably not. We are talking about broad programmatic collectio

As I understand, if they wait 10-20 seconds and listen to the network to make sure no conflicting transaction is broadcast, the odds of a successful double spend drops to very very low.

Very interesting article. As a side note, does anyone have links to solid research on the long term effects (physiological and psychological) of these psychedelics? It amazes me how little conclusive information there is, although I know go

Awesome. I was thinking the other day that an automated kitchen should be entirely possible. You buy groceries, place them in their designated slots in the fridge. Robot arms know which slots hold each ingredient, and can measure and cut ap

Seriously? 105 years in prison because the leaked data he was investigating had some credit card numbers buried in it? Is there anything else? That seems like too much of a bastardization of justice. Hopefully his jury knows about jury null

According to many frequent HN readers, the government is completely out of the control. Neither of these claims is true, but they are difficult to get past. This is simply an opinion. Over these past few weeks I have had cycles of getting

Of course that is the whole point. But that doesn't tell us what the royalty rates should be.

The artist is complaining that Pandora pays a low royalty rate, and to make this claim they compare to FM/AM radio and Sirius XM royalties. However one "play" on radio or Sirius is equivalent to at least several thousand &quo
