>If that's accurate, it's much harder to see how Dorian Nakamoto thought they were talking about his old military contracts. How so? That's how projects work. It seems like a pretty reasonable response for someone who is t

I'm not so sure. He went by Dorian S. Nakamoto, right? Are we suddenly blackmailing all Nakamotos now?

To be clear, I'm using "admit" for the sake of argument. He was quoted as saying "I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it..." There's no doubt he said that because he later disputed the meanin

I can't believe anyone took the Newsweek article seriously for one moment. Besides all the other things that don't add up, ask yourself one question: did the real Nakamoto want to be discovered? Consider both answers: 1) Yes. Then

An analogy to clarify my point: this would be like having to learn about Steve Jobs to decide whether or not to invest in Apple in 2015.

Other than the fact that the guy owns perhaps $1 billion (surprise: he's not the only one), how is this illuminating? It's been open source for 5 years and, by design, Nakamoto has no control over it.

>We recognized a public interest in establishing some core facts about Bitcoin and better informing those who might invest money in it. Bullshit. Revealing who Satoshi is doesn't give you one shred of information to help you decide

>No warning light was on and the navigation computer worked as usual; (I just needed a warning light in my panel to indicate that I missed a wing...)." Hilarious.

The part I'm wondering about is that this is a project about criticizing the depiction of women in video games. In the piece we're discussing, however, it's not from a video game. It's a fan art piece tributing a video g

It might be placebo, but I've noticed a pretty dramatic drowsiness set in immediately following the f.lux "sunset." A lot of the time I will turn it off so I can stay up and get things done. If that's what one experience

People have no sense of history. When Notch announced he was doing an increasing pricing model, Minecraft wasn't Minecraft . He had only been working on the game for a few weeks, it wasn't popular, and it had almost no features (

The word "should" makes it opinion right off the bat. The word "justification" is about right and wrong. Outside of a universally agreed upon objective morality, it's an opinion piece.

tl;dr: /r/news considers the piece an opinion piece and they don't allow those. And here's the last paragraph of The Incerpt aticle that makes clear it's opinion: >Whatever else is true, no government should be a

Perhaps I'm missing something, but wouldn't you be paying $20 to enter the competition? It seems like the fee isn't directly tied to getting your score posted on a website and the article is using that as a distraction. Isn&#

It's not really a "historical" reason though. A cursor is still a very small icon. It's pixel art. Choosing angles that look crisp is a foundation of making pixel art and I don't think screen densities are high enou
