To be clear I love to see funding going towards science. But 10,000 years is too damn much. People are placing chronologically the technological singularity within the next 100-200 years. For all practical purposes, 10,000 years ahead it&#

So, they are holding Bitcoin. Are you going to disclose too that Bitcoin went up 300% since last year? Or you prefer to cherry-pick a shorter time period to make it fit your narrative?

Are we really discussing whether someone should be held accountable for the actions of others? Like, I create an account for you without your knowledge and I send you to jail? Sounds like a useful app, but scary in the wrong hands.

Who said anything about ethics? Corporations accepting Bitcoin is evidence of its usefulness. And by the logic you guys are espousing, then e-commerces don't accept any currency that isn't the one their government forces them to u

As someone who lives in Argentina, Bitcoin is extremely useful. I have a smartphone, but banks don't really want me. Not that I could benefit much from them anyway, since I'm not even allowed to make international wires, and I c

You could own bigian.bit using Namecoin I think, and use it for everything else (like your email).

Aren't these fields thought to be even smaller particles? Like the hypothetical graviton. So everything could be made of particles, even forces like gravity.

I'm not a native speaker. Is it a vulgar word? Didn't seem like that to me. And I didn't know people looking to lose weight wanted to do so specifically without gaining any muscle. My advice wasn't to become a body build

I have never been fat but as a sports guy I have read a lot about the subject and I'm pretty sure the best first step (as opposed to running, not as opposed to controlling your calories) is to start lifting weights if you are a guy. Th

You should rebrand it into GithubCoder then, because that's what it is. I for one only use Bitbucket.

I remember I tried Screencloud years ago and didn't like it. Unfortunately I don't remember why, but knowing myself it probably was a privacy issue. Shutter does everything right IMO and I'm still using it.

Not really. From this and your other comments it's now clear that not only you don't know anything about private stock, you don't anything about Bitcoin's history either.
