Of all the things threatening bitcoin this is by far the least worrisome. What if people start writing links to censored/illegal content on circulating dollar bills? Nothing, that's what.

So it costs $99 if your insurance pays for it. So the insurance company gets the genetic report. And your child happens to be born with a disease that was noted with a 25% chance of occurrence. Will your insurance balk at paying your child'

I love everything about this. This is like a dark encrypted p2p network. Looking forward to setting up family music sharing folders.

Citibank and Chase both have money transfer services via email. QuickPay and PopMoney, I believe. I have used both of them and they work. The sender needs to have an account with the originating bank, either Chase or Citi but the recipient

The only place sending an email to notify someone of a message is a Good Thing(TM) is in highly sensitive or security conscious environments like medicine, law, finance and the like. Where the sender must be certain that the message is rece

As with most things Google nowadays, their vision of the future seems to be at odds with my desire to remain anonymous and maintain my privacy. As I swype this on my galaxy s3, Google search app remains un-updated because it wants all sorts

I love this so much. Really brings me back to a simpler more colorgasmic/motiontastic time.

This is 100% contagion for depositors in all shaky countries. If they can do it in Cyprus they can do it anywhere. I would expect huge inflows into Germany to continue matching outflows from everywhere else in southern Europe. Insanity.

I don't know if I missed it but a cursory glance through your dev docs[0] do not, imho, lay out your terminology. What is the difference between and alert, mention, mention task, etc. Looks good overall. Can you talk some about your tech? A

It never fails to amaze how so many tech folk are such pedants. For all of you who are whining about this not being a real clone for any number of reasons you are well and truly stuck in the trees. You've failed to notice that this is a dem

I've never seen a worse layout for mobile viewing. Viewing on my iPhone reduces the content div to a mini scrolling box that immediately had me close the page.

You do not have to look far as to why one might want to remain anonymous. I submit The Federalist Papers[0] as exhibit A. If the Founding Fathers deemed it necessary to publish under a pseudonym then who are the likes of Facebook and Google

First I'm hearing of Balanced. This news aside, how is Balanced different from Stripe? If I had a p2p trading application (like craigslist) where the Buyer and the Seller wanted to transfer funds for services rendered or goods delivered, co

"...make everyone of us a doctor..." That's a very, very bad idea. Should we educate people about their medical problems in a simple and smart way? Yes. Should we delude people into thinking they are doctors? Absolutely not. "IANAL" is one

So can someone tell me what the monetization scheme is for Meteor and other frameworks like it? Is there one? Or is this purely for the joy of the code? Seriously...

Try flying into or out of Israel. Israeli airline/airport security is far and away the best in the world.

Hear, hear on point 3. The fact that our immigration policy is so screwed that we actively disuade PhD candidates from staying here in the USA is an absolute disgrace. Taking into account that in most cases those PhD candidates are fully fu
