Well, I'm sure they can still convert to a whole host of other currencies, just not the major sanctioned ones. So, we can say Bitcoin is beating out the minor currencies.

Oh please, this is such a basic feature, Facebook should be embarassed it took them this long. My Android phone came with this built in with Google+, and it also prompts me to sync with Dropbox if I choose. No "tapping" either, it does it a

If you take a glance at the development of Constitutional law you realize the document itself is largely meaningless. What matters is the progression of SCOTUS cases that interpret a simple archaic document in order to apply it to a massive

What's the point of talking about salaries at startups? I don't understand why you would give priority to a salary figure at a startup. It's largely illusory. The startup could shutdown 2 weeks from now and nobody will pay you anything. If

I'm calling it hyperindividualism and it's a distinctly American phenomenon. Everyone is reaching for fame and celebrity status but it's no longer attached to the prerequisite of accomplishment and distinction in one's work. Rather than hop

Well, before the Note II, I used an iPhone 3GS for 3.5 years. I was trying my hardest to make it last as long as possible, because I like making things last as long as possible -- it's a win win because technology gets better every month an

If the first part is critical, then we should just go back to IQ testing job applicants instead of wasting $100,000 and 4-5 years to skip class and cheer at football games. Unfortunately this practice was banned by the Supreme Court as disc

Yes, because in the construction boom that followed the Global Financial Crisis, foreman would love to hire overweight middle aged accountants to dig their ditches.

Glad I didn't wait and sprang for the Note II. Fantastic display and most importantly, for me, the battery life is incredible. This week I went over 40 hours on a single charge. That includes 4G use, as well as streaming a full length show

Agreed. I don't see the value if it's clunky. If it gets any clunkier, I'll just switch back to jotting stuff in Notepad.

Yes, I knew a linguist who won a $100 million lottery. Fortunately, he gave the winnings away to an accountant, because he wasn't a "numbers guy."

Congrats! You must be on cloud 9. I think you made the right choice. Any advice to someone trying to setup this kind of platform in another country? I've been trying to do this in a market that lags far behind in this type of lead generatio

EFF didn't cite a source regarding the 3/4 claim in their article. I'd be curious where they got that information since it does conflict with their privacy policy.

I don't mean to be hard on you, I was really just ranting against this pervasive behavior, not specifically just you. I can see how this could happen. I just think we should all try to proactively hold ourselves to higher standards of doing

If they're looking for a more content heavy site rather than just a "face" for their B&M business, I'd point them to Wordpress, ideally hosting their own, but Wordpress.com offers hosted sites. The interface is easy to figure out and th

The article makes Vidyard and particularly "Mike" look pretty bad and lacks perspective and empathy. The fact that he's OK with ignoring personal communications just because they look like a "cover letter" speaks volumes. I don't buy the "I

Personally I'm always more intrigued by the prospect of getting around the world quicker. Making the world a smaller place, and more accessible to all, would do wonders for humanity.

They're honestly not doing much at all. These are quite cushy positions. Work usually gets sloshed around and offloaded onto staff who make much less but work much more. For example, at my public law school (1,000 students), there was the d

What does Google Fiber have to do with anything? Are any of these startups really hosting anything in their work space? I doubt it, and either way, hosting a server on Google Fiber is currently prohibited and they don't offer business servi

There's a term for that, it's entrepreneurship. It was never limited to startups. Many massive corporations are quite entrepreneurial.

Most people can't leave work at 3pm no matter how early they get there, thanks to the obsolete practice of valuing "face time." Even if it's permitted in the rules, you may suffer poor evaluations or just get passed over for promotions etc.

Well, the jobs/money are in the Valley and East Bay is a pretty long commute down there. If all the jobs were packed into SF, then everyone would live in the East Bay. East Bay is far nicer than much of San Jose & Silicon Valley IMO wit

Why would this be built in Detroit of all places? Isn't the whole point of shipping container housing that it's cheaper and quicker to build? Detroit already has a large amount of extremely cheap housing all around it, with people leaving t

That was a really bad move on your part. Could be social engineering. Collections agencies don't need to confirm your social before making a collections call.

A publicity stunt for sure. If genuine, strikes me as a bit classist considering much of the hubbub around BF this year has to do with Walmart and Target expanding their store hours. I hate Black Friday, but I hate iPhone launch day too, an
