Jesus christ. Calm down. They didn't say forever, and said it would likely change. They obviously don't want ad-ridden software in the alpha period to give the product a bad name.

Because i'm not eloquent or articulate, I'll refer you to my favourite travel writer - Mr. Bill Bryson. He's lived in both countries his whole life and has made a living writing about the (mostly funny) subcultures of each. I recommend star

I don't think you can tell if they aren't doing that. Large bitcoin transactions are fairly constant. Note: I haven't looked at the bitchain and am guessing that you can't make assumptions about large holders from the bitchain alone.

After living in both countries my whole life, as a Brit, I can honestly say that Britain is not very close to America at all. Maybe on the surface, the popular culture (mostly because of Hollywood & TV) and the language are similar, but

Not sure how this turned into PHP, but yes. It does indeed suck.

>Americans still believe they are a "progressive" and model nation for freedom. Not all Americans. Look at HN or any semi-educated social circle. A lot of your points just bring up tit-for-tat historical talking points. Yes a lot of cou

There is no comparison to China's Taiwan: "That should be China's attitude". Also Tibet. Clearly not a Chinese country but of course that doesn't stop them.

Wait, I'm British. You were talking about Britain. Why did we suddenly switch to the USA? Also, half of your rebuttals are inaccurate and half are not comparable in the slightest. No, there is no western version of the horrors of "Tank Man"

Interesting story, but I fail to see what on earth the comparison is with this piece of tech news.

That's an interesting point, but it's really difficult when you talk to a Chinese person and they flatly deny tiananmen square, or that their government is suppressing their own freedom. When you go to prove it on the internet, it still see

Absolutely. * Tiananmen square. Murders against any form of civil disobedience. * Secret and non-secret alliances with North Korea. * Occasional acts of aggression on Japan. * Great firewall, general suppression of information from citizens

I think Gmail's IMAP implementation is a rather usable and clever hack, actually. By the way, everything is under one folder, both on IMAP and in the web interface. It's called "All Mail" (Archive)

I'm sorry, but NYC isn't about as "first world is it gets". From the power, to the plumbing, to the buildings and sewers, and even city-scaping, it's decidedly antiquated compared to many Western Eurpean and Asian countries.

No, you are dead right. Even though a lot of NVidias stuff is closed source, the binaries have always had much better support for graphics and power management than ever the Radeon drivers. I could never get things like graphics hibernate t

There seems to have been an influx of these sort of posts on HN recently. To be honest, engineers are just people. A wide sample of folks from different backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, educational-backgrounds, etc etc. This wildcard lum

Exactly. Let me know if you find an answer to this. I have a policy where I will only add a generated application-specific password to really trusted applications (internal OS apps mail, calendar etc), and have gone as far as to sniff all t

Be honest. When was the last time you were sitting at your (or any other) machine while away from your mobile phone? Also, you only need the authenticator revolving token every 30 days.
