I think this idea of survival rather than living is rather an unfortunate characteristic of our time. People need to rewatch that german movie called "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". All you need is to go see the sea.

I'm just going to add to this: it's been 10 years. Hacker News is still hoping very hard this so called libertarian wet dream cryptocurrency called Bitcoin will soon be out of the picture, replaced by something proper, that is fai

So this looks like a dating site for advertisers and those who are willing to provide some advertising space on their t-shirts. Seems to me, not a very new concept. But somehow, I find it less humiliating then when people are dressed as mas

In that case, it'd be much less suspicious to purchase a small private jet. No reason to hijack a big airplane everyone would be looking for.

I find it hard to believe people that rich can make judgements this wrong about anything. I think Buffet had a history of saying "I don't understand it, therefore I don't invest", but not discouraging others to invest. I

Buffet is most definitely not a person who could simply miss the point of Bitcoin. I'm sure he understands it. Therefore, his statement must have an agenda. Maybe it's a non-obvious agenda, because he's not known to be involv

This story gets more interesting and interesting with every day. I really hope it was hijacked and landed safely somewhere.

Slightly offtopic, but oddly enough MMM is also a name of the most famous Russian ponzi scheme from the 90s. Laughed a little bit, but no parallels, of course. All the luck to this blog.

Don't know if it's good or bad. While certainly it's good news for Bitcoin and its adoption, I wonder what's gonna happen to all those exchanges that are currently working and serving customers honestly (not MtGox). Are

I'm a big fan of TDD. But BDD is just such an overkill for me. I could never understand it. It takes all the joy out of programming away by introducing the level of abstraction that's just to much to deal with. Sometimes layering
