   Well, it took a couple of years for the $2B team to do something new, unfortunately it's going to fall on it's face.

   Thanks @boulos. Appreciate it. I'm unclear on what encrypted at rest means. For example - I'd expect the data in Google cloud store to be encrypted (or have an option to be encrypted) so that if someone were to get access to our D

   Is there a single person in HN that has profited more than $1M through Bitcoin? And I mean someone who has actually sold and now has $1M more in the bank?

    If anyone's burning the programmers is the AI, Block chain programmers. Very soon, the industry will need/have a very small fraction of programmers than what we have today.

    I know printing is not in Vogue anymore, but there are still requirements from customers that need printing. The CSS spec for printing is beyond dismal. No two printouts from different devices let alone browsers look alike or have the same

    I'm in Palo Alto and actually had seen their small office on Hamilton. I do know how it works and tried to myself but found it really cumbersome. The only explanation I can see is iPhone users who didn't have the benefit of Google

    Waze always baffled me. No one I know uses it and most never heard of it. Google had pretty sophisticated data/algo of their own when they paid $1+B for this thing. ELI5 - why should any one care about Waze?

    If you think the project is still viable, has potential to make money, and you can find another non-tech partner - Draw up a contract rewarding him fairly with equity for the work done. Move on. A reasonable new partner should/will und
