Trump should append this contract with "End Internet shills" because it seems there are a lot of them on this thread. Good golly, I thought finally CTR would close up shop after last night. For the first time in generations the

Being aware of a certain possibility, and pointing out this possibility for others to see, is not an accusation - particularly because I said and as you acknowledged it was not intended as accusation nor did I jump to that conclusion person

Excellent point, but to discuss politics on HN is a waste of time as there isn't an easy way to know who you are talking to - the same type of operatives you refer too are also crawling HN and pretty much every other popular social med

Well it was not meant to be countered, it is meant to be inspirational. Some say a statistical anomaly, others would say a hero. I do agree with your expanded point, by the way. Would just add that the veterans can bring that and more; th

If Jaromir Jagr, at 44 years of age, can play at the highest level of professional hockey in the world, leading his young team in points (and 2nd in goals) last season [1] just imagine what a programmer can do with the same level of focus a

Kanji is tough indeed, but that's why hiragana is awesome. You can learn it quickly and since it covers the entire spectrum of pronunciation - you can use it to write/type any word, even if said word uses Kanji. This is how most

"Nowhere to go but up" is perfectly logical reasoning, but may be an over simplification; as it implies speculation only. There may be another factor involved here; perhaps the 'hive mind' (market) is arriving to a reali

It has been interesting to witness ETC (the original non forked chain) gain momentum in the past 48 hours. According to Poloniex, as of this post, trade volume for ETC (via BTC) is double that of ETH today. And asking price for ETC is up 1

Okay fair point. Though I don't necessarily see the correlation to taxation. I assume what perhaps is being implied is that the money from taxation can be used for ethical or unethical practices (as oldmanjay points out). Yet that a

I see your point, but that is detracting from the main point and larger dilemma which is that Slack has all this centralized data. Easiest point of entry? No. Single point of entry? Yes.

Did you miss the Snowden leaks? Yes, Google and Facebook have been hacked.

Agreed and particularly unsettling given the NSA's precedents; how do we know Slack isn't simply siphoning data to them via secret frontdoor collaboration or unknown backdoor (or combination thereof [1]). [1] https://ww

HN is a public forum and this isn't 1999 anymore - don't assume every comment is posted by people acting on their own personal volition.

Funny, just recently I had to explain this to my Taiwanese friend. I didn't know what the heck he was talking about when he said his colleague was working on A.P.P. thought it was an agency or something.

Yes they would have access to all that stuff because their taxes would be paid for by YC as part of the program.

Interesting project, but personally I would be more interested to see the funding of a study on "basic financial freedom". The test is quite similar, but instead of giving them a basic income participants are still required create

Just a casual Foursquare user here - I actually like(d) the app and found check-ins kind of fun; an interesting location is kind of like a hot selfie on Instragram for padding one's ego. But from what I gather, check-in feature was rem

It is concerning to see flagged (deleted posts) which have theorized certain unlikely yet plausible scenarios. Just because an opinion or idea is controversial, doesn't mean it is offensive or not-constructive. Speculation is apart

This seems to have unfolded rapidly and the details are very light so I would like to suggest that no, this is not 'almost' an open and shut case.

Laughable, but not surprising. This is just the kind of thing the Bitcoin community has predicted governments would do in an attempt to stifle/delay/prevent any potential financial revolution; to protect their fiat money printing
