The power dynamic: You're seeking a job and mostly at a younger/lower power position and might not be able to question the founder too much. It's the kind of soft power that the #metoo movement has talked about. Unfortunately

It seems to me that the price is dropping due to large players selling off their coins, not because of some hash-war. AFAIK, mining Bitcoins is barely profitable anymore and wouldn't cause such wild jumps (even if this is true).

I think the OPs point was that out of 1000s of other news channels writing about it, a BBC link will come up on HN. Last week BBC posted a story titled, "Rocket woman: How to cook curry and get a spacecraft into Mars orbit", about

If this was absolutely true, China and India would stop having any maths/science/arts/medicine/CS people. Pollution control is on my mind constantly, and I hope we get a hold on pollution soon. But to be honest, the west

What you described is exactly how I've been feeling for last 3-4 years. The pain signal kicks in the next day, sometimes even a day after. So yeah you can't tell at the time you're working late how the eyes will feel the next

I want to 'react' to so many comments on that post. But then again I don't know how the data from my reactions would be used. Oh, the irony.

This is such a breath of fresh air for PC gamers who have been waiting to build a budget gaming machine, ever since the crypto-mining frenzy messed up the GPU market. Most GPUs are selling at a 30%ish price hike right now!
