The US media doesn't get a pass -- especially print media or long-form web articles on nytimes.com, etc, which shouldn't have concerned themselves with rights to video (see my response to 'nostromo'), but I was unaware o

What makes it more despicable: MSNBC is aggressively marketed in the image of progressive reform television. To be clear - the US politician wasn't talking about the interview -- but rather the independent review committee's asses

These links: a.) lip-service reporting that Snowden was-to-have an interview or b.) reduced the lengthy talk to an inconsequential soundbite. The NYT Blog - 3 days late, is it that hard for such a "renowned" journalistic enterpris

Try searching CNN for "Snowden Interview" and there is NO mention of it. Same with MSNBC's search - nothing about this interview in the results. Also, scroll down to user "Nostromo's" counter (claiming the medi

There's no way to know that there was only one party involved. In other words, who's to say that the NSA (/GHCQ,etc) was the same party that ultimately defaced the website?

Hey Doublerebel! There is no actual implementation of a Bitcoin wallet on our site - nor will there be. It's a static website that offers images and assets for printing. The idea is that people want to gift Bitcoin to others -- there

The PDF Certificate relies on the browser's built-in print-to-PDF. It is a really simple page, but has been tested in each major modern browser. There was a client side library called JSPDF which looked really cool - and would provid

It's funny how I misinterpreted this title. I read it as: "If you were to write a book [and publish it on the blockchain of] Bitcoin, what content would you put there?"

It seems like we had a misunderstanding around semantics then. My defintion was: "the fact or quality of being generally accepted or in use." The act of it being used as a currency. My distinction between this and a more general

"... it is impossible for bitcoin to be a currency." It is already functioning as one -- just not a very effective or useful one. So, please be more articulate if you actually want to have a debate. But thanks for diverting the t

Sorry in advance for this wall of text and the redundant use of the word "currency." It makes for a shitty read, but I couldn't find a better way to construct my comment. All joking aside [0], you seem a little over eager

This currently isn't "news," as the paper hasn't been published yet, and none of the disclosed findings are too damning or conclusive. That being said, it's important for two reasons: 1.) the paper gets published to

Confirmed: this is a fantastic end-user experience. Clicked the link on my Mac - it opened iTunes and autofilled the Redeem code, no clicks necessary (aside from providing my passcode). Excellent execution! Again, my feedback for your lan

Seems like a super useful API. I don't know a much about the space, but I can't believe something like this doesn't exist. I wanted to see a dead-simple demonstration on the website, couldn't find one. Perhaps it would

That is a great illustration of WebGL. With that said, the site could really benefit from a basic loading animation.

@SnydenBitchy - Given the context, Reddit seems off-putting as an example. The comment I reposted was not in direct response to the OP. Tehwalrus makes an excellent observation. The role that anonymity played for OP on YT would serve her w

The idea definitely hits upon one of the great challenges of our generation (preferring digital experiences over the physical). It's a busy space - so I'm curious how you're differentiating your product. I would definitely g
