Hey! So cool to see this on HN. I love Hidden Gems, mainly because my game is usually on there. :) A few things I've wondered about: * Have you considered only counting non-key reviews, as Steam does for the main review total? Curious

The scope of this thing seems to have surprised everyone. It appears to be a combination of location (many of the famous attendees live on the west coast I guess) and Noah simply emailing people to come. As far as rgrd, I usually only step

The speaker list on this thing is absolutely mindblowing. I really wanted to go, but having just gone to a roguelike conference last month and this one being on the opposite coast, I just couldn't swing it. But it will be streamed!

Yea... Handmade Hero is a very awesome idea, but I can't imagine the amount of dedication it would take for someone to sit down one day and decide to watch all 300+ videos. It's like an order of magnitude more content than a colle

Yes! I hate most boiled vegetables. Makes potatoes seem slimy and flavorless. Funny thing is I actually love eating carrots raw. They have a lot of flavor uncooked. (might as well keep the off topic in the same thread)

Science of course! Maybe you simulating the entire universe for science is a thing you want to do, but there's no reason to think you'd want to (or even be able to without simulating the earlier bits) t=4.5 billion years rather th

Yes, it was a pretty bad typo. One I didn't catch after half a dozen rereads because I wrote the article from 4am-8am this morning after little sleep.

If the convoluted hilarious title didn't give it away then the 1991 quote (given by Churchill) here attributed to Albert Einstein (who died in 1955) should do it.

Good to know. I'm willing to accept that Satoshi was not a statistician or a great writer (or even a great programmer) and yet he was still able to succinctly describe a problem few people in the world even knew existed at the time. Wr

Nice writeup. I know people say not to focus on Wright's writing style, but he sure doesn't sound like someone extremely knowledgeable about bitcoin or cryptography. He sounds like he's writing an undergraduate paper. Given e

Thank you. The part I couldn't understand is how Gavin could verify the signature without retaining the message. But your explanation (with the hash) makes perfect sense. Wright supplied all the inputs. Amazing.
