Short form:My BTCs are for sale, the ones I found the password for. I'll be buying some more equities on the US and Canadian markets. I must be terribly dull, but I fail to see why bitcoins have any store value at the moment. As a medi

I've heard they were under scrutiny because they were looking into a book of which the exact title is: The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein. That's not goodthink.

Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself. Could a sense of dignity help you feel right in your place and at peace with your circumstances? What do you need to say no to?

Hey, it was tongue-in-cheek. Your service looks awesome, and as an awareness piece it was bang on. Although I don't recall hearing about backblaze before, the name has been ringing in my ears all day. Keep up the good work and good luc

We dont know, but backblaze sure knows how to: 1. print backblaze's brand as often as linguistically possible in the same article. 2. Get to the top of HN over a 50 yrs old technology's failure rate without clustering for brand sp

Often did that as a younger entrepreneur. Paid off, thank you. He undeniably had the sharpest eye of his generation to find the angle that work with the market.

I think it was a sore point for a lot of people, and a question mark for me why Apple and mr Jobs was imposing a sort of censorship on iOS apps with regards to explicit content. Well I got real world case of how something useful to some can

I tend to not exercise any caution clicking links on hacker news, and since time is "the" essence, really; I use a click and "see for myself if this is interesting" approach, since there's more noise here these days

Might want to capitalize that warning, and add nsfw. I'm very happy one of my kids was not looking over my shoulder. I guess I'm with the late Mr Jobs on this one --thinking this is not necessarily advancing the internet or making

The jealous derided, but all in all it was pretty solid handling; they shipped a few bumpers for free, and discovered they could sell them for 29$ a piece at an even higher markup than the hw. Somehow I don't think this will go away wi

I was not aware of this libel suit; but it fits well with how I perceive the PR handling; what remains in the zeitgeist is a company fighting the right(?) battle using all means. The fact that said suit was gravely deficient most likely wen

You are holding it wrong, don't drive it over large metal objects at high speed. I love the boldness of the Tesla, I'm truly impressed by the PR skill of Mr Musk and his team. Let's hope they have enough data now to diagnose.

In the weeks before the twtr IPO: NFLX off by 2B$. TSLA off by 4B FB of by 10B. It looks like investors reallocation to me; the type of investor that reallocate like this are more of the speculation breed than the buy and hold breed. I woul

this is great, but it wont save any lives if no one is around or if the kids are expected to be playing in water. There was a death at a day camp in my neighbourhood last year; the kids were under watch, adults were swimming with the kids,b

This would be awesome if it had a detector of coughing patterns indicative of water entering lungs (quite distinctive if you think of it): it would be selling like hotcakes to parents of young children learning to swim or going to camp.

This article is semantically interesting. It's a negative title, but it has a kinda positive message for "the rest of us" (apple circa 1985). You see, the FBI now has 3.5% of the whole currency(not the float, of the WHOLE she

The genius is in saying no to to the right things. It's in the sort algorithm that puts the right ones in the top 10. The original iPhone was great not because it did not have 3G, and the os did not support copy paste. It was great bec
