This is a really interesting idea. Certainly, there's a huge need in the cryptocurrency world with getting information accurately and in one place. And it's only going to grow.

That future is already here. I asked my 13 year old sister and her friend if they were on Facebook, and they both laughed and did an old person imitation of me! I couldn't believe it.

As someone who's seen almost all Ghibli movies, I can tell you that Miyazaki is not averse to the grotesque. Most who have seen Spirited Away probably remember it as a wonderful and positive film, but when it was showed at my younger s

All things being equal, if I had to choose between applying to two jobs, and one of them explicitly offered the salary that I believe I'm worth, then yeah, I would apply to that one. On another note, one thing I've been thinking o

Awesome to see DFW on HN. Infinite Jest's tennis scenes helped shape the way I view the world. There's one particularly great one where a father is giving some life lessons to his son via tennis. And it is excellent Here's a

In the future, could you not use the phrase "bend over"? I don't think it has a place on HN.

They mention Gone Home in this, and I would highly recommend it. The writing is the best I've seen in a game, especially if you're into punk 90's riot grrrl stuff.

Should probably return a "We couldn't find anything like that :/" so you can know whether it's loading or just came up short.

Oh really? I ended up skipping it because I thought they weren't loading. Should at least have a blinking cursor.

Wonderful article. Due to its length, I recommend saving it to pocket and reading it on there before settling in for the long read. :)

Was this a knockoff store? Regardless, would have been pretty cool to see in its prime.

Thanks! And yes, perhaps my wording was overstimulated.

Right. A step. I'd imagine that a good number of these should have been pardons. For example. There are over 11,000 people in federal prison for marijuana offenses[0]. Unbelievable. [0] https://www.bjs.gov/content&#

Hard to get past the capitalist propaganda in the article and introduction. Maybe if the essay were hosted on a more neutral site. I say this because when the article is hyping up the "timelessness" of this essay, I know that ther

Yeah! It's just half an inch of blank space where it used to be. Bizarre.

This is really annoying. I don't and haven't ever used vine, but how much could it really cost to keep hosting it, and let people continue using it? Why can't companies be okay having products that are revenue neutral that ma

Is one side always marginalized? Maybe in political matters you could frame it that way, but I don't think that's the case in most tech-related discussions. This is the fairly narrow case of discussing diversity in tech.

This is the kind of knee-jerk dismissal that made me lose respect for the reddit community. What she's saying resonates with a lot of people, especially marginalized ones, and for that reason alone she's worth hearing out.

Kudos to Project Include for making this decision. This sends a clear signal that there is a growing (or at least increasingly vocalized) segment of the tech community that won't stand for a guy like Thiel to be a "captain" o

What is the definition of "binge-watching"? For me, that would be three episodes of Bojack Horseman, or about 75 minutes of content. On the other hand, I would happily watch a Tarantino film, say 140 minutes, in one sitting. I gue

re: his son's brain tumor, let's say this is true. Could it be explained by him noticing symptoms of it and subconsciously being suspicious, which led to the pink beam "telling" him?
