Yes. Gavin assisted Economist's write up: "Still, as far as we can tell he indeed seems to be in possession of the keys, at least for block 9. This assessment is shared by two bitcoin insiders who have sat through the same demonst

Edit: (Sad that I submitted the long story yet original submission was just a snippet but HN mods change the submission.) That's not fair. Not full story. Just snippet. Full story (HN Sub): https://news.ycombinator.com/

Check out Economist's write up. Lots of detail. Not just the 5 minute video. http://www.economist.com/news/briefings/21698061-craig-steve... HN sub: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=116097

It again seems like you didn't read the article. > [i]Tim Urban points out that the typical advice for procrastinators — essentially, to stop what they’re doing and get down to work, is ridiculous, because procrastination isn’t some

Most don't realize it but Yahoo Small Business and their storefront/hosting efforts generate a lot of revenue for them. But most of their revenue is from ads.

I was hoping Yahoo would've went private like Dell. So that she'd have the time to turn the company around. She did a great job improving the tech behind their company but...Yahoo was like a 1960's abandoned nuclear silo. To

I was thinking about this article and feel it 'clicked' for me. Especially since HN had another article about procrastination recently [1]. I know abalone is saying it's all about emotional management but...I feel the writer

I'm a little late to the party but I'm glad you filed. That's awesome. Standing up for yourself (and others) is always a rewarding thing. Great work!

I wish research would look into high IQ procrastinators because they'd be an outlier to their data. Since the bad consequences tend to miss high IQ people. But according to the article, researchers wouldn't call that procrastinati

TL;DR; The science is merky but researchers have noticed self-forgiveness, seeing tasks as fun (or rewarding), and changing the perspective of procrastinators have been beneficial. Emotions also play a role. Since many may skim this article

Nerve cells? Sure. But...probiotics play a major role in anxiety/depression and other psych issues. There isn't a ton of research but it's fairly clear that the bacteria in the gut contribute to a person's psych well-bei

I'd file a complaint with their bosses. Your privacy is important. If the tech staff won't take HIPAA seriously, their bosses better or they'll lose their job. Don't let this go, please, be proactive.

The gut (many say is ~70% of our immune system) is strongly linked to our psychological health. So, I don't see this as a surprise. The next question is what strains of bacteria tend to effect what in certain people? I don't think

The govt getting 5B isn't the people getting any money they would've gotten. A penalty paid to the govt isn't paid to those who's wealth was reduced.

Great suggestion. It's on my to-read list maybe it's gone up a few notches now. I hope someone who's read it could give some feedback on it though.

That only scratches the surface and I have done it. I think more through analysis needs to be done.

I hold a similar, not exact, position as you. Namely, the trickle down is bullshit part. But reading your comment made me think and question. The mega-elite's capital is growing due to their investments and it's showing no clear s

I had a lot of faith in Mayer's turn around. Do I think she needs more time? Yes. Do I think she can do it in more time? I'm skeptical now. Will the board, that she created, try to keep her accountable like you're saying? I h

What evidence do you have to support Bernie could bridge the gap better than Hillary? When they were both in the Senate they voted 93% similarly. In addition, Bernie is liberal/progressive (far left) and Hillary is more moderate/l

I don't think your employer would either, no matter who they are. They will take advantage of the system like everyone else. We all benefit from roads, power, water, etc. Bernie is trying to reduce the cost of health care by taking p

I agree but Apple has been known to pay for solid patent licenses. I.e. Amazon's 'one click to pay' patent. If f.lux lands the patent, I think Apple could work out a solid deal with f.lux. Or they will find a distasteful lega
