I'm just going to wait and see how things go. I generally improvise; there's not really much prior work (let alone documentation) on the way I run projects, so it's mostly just a matter of figuring stuff out as I go along. On

Both require accounts to upload files. EDIT: And both are more involved than just dragging and dropping a PDF.

On smaller screens, it should automatically move the entire sidebar to be a (relatively thin) footer bar instead. I should probably make the top bar shrink in height at that point as well. I suspect you might be just slightly above the cut-

I suspect that might be caused by pdf.js. While PDFy itself will attempt to send you a cookie (even if you just try to download the PDF), it should still work even if the cookie is rejected, as it's not dependent on it for serving the

I probably should've worded that better, but that text will be changed/moved/removed in the near future anyway. The Imgur comparison really only refers to the upload/sharing process, not the non-commercial bit. As for ru

Some sort of reproducible version control chain is essential for any kind of privacy- or security-related application. It makes auditing about a hundred times easier.

The style of that very strongly reminds me of that David vs. Goliath top-down shooter game: https://icreviews.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/giving_goliath... Any connection to that, by any chance? EDIT: Hmm, HN do

Many exchange directly to local currency. Not all do.

Then a good start would probably be to not generalize "Bitcoin supporters" yourself :) On a more serious note, there might be a group of 'supporters' who are 'libertarians', but the reality is that their existe

All of them are wrong. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7373804 EDIT: They are uneducated, in that any cursory research into the concept and history of Bitcoin would make it blatantly obvious that his remarks a

His remarks are uneducated, not the person himself. I don't know him as a person well enough to judge that.

Everything that knows the concept of an "early adopter", has "elements that are definitely Ponzi". That doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme.

I don't see how a deflationary currency is a problem. As far as I can tell, the only ones who benefit from the "money has to be in constant circulation" adage, is those who gain a profit off every transaction made. Money is m

"Expert" or not, the arguments he's making here are not only obviously wrong, but also almost certainly uneducated. Judge what somebody says, not who he is.

Not really. A year ago, it had already been crap for quite a while... it just still had a sizable club of apologists saying "don't be so hard on them, they've done so much good".
