With deflation (i.e. prices drop so the purchasing power of $100 rises over time) you lose if you're selling a product/service with fixed costs or paying off a loan while your salary is dropping. With high inflation (i.e. prices r

Anyone can still get into the market - you can pay $10 and receive a certain amount of Bitcoins in return. It's not like the housing market where high prices mean you can potentially not make a purchase. EDIT: To clarify my comment - I

Each exchange's price is correct - it's just price variation based on multiple factors, similar to how a can of coke can be priced differently in various shops. E.g. if you intend to trade with MtGox, their price is the one you sh

In which case, maybe it's classified as a derivative work of the original OS project? This is how WordPress tries to classify third-party themes and plugins, meaning they should "thus inherit the GPL license". See: http:&#x2

An increasing proportion of Opera's (growing) revenue comes from advertising (they bought a few agencies recently) and their share price continues to climb. I don't think they have many problems moving forward, it's just less

You can select the classic interface on the login page. I agree, it feels more usable than the fancy version.

I guess with the finger-on-the-camera version you don't have the risk of the camera auto-adjusting for slight variances in brightness.

From the article, there's "an apparent link between wealth and, well, unseemly behavior", but is that because in some cases, unseemly behavior leads to increased wealth? It's the same old correlation/causation quest

Another annoying result of this policy is it makes it hard, if not impossible to search for articles later (that I've not felt strongly enough to save). A few times I've thought "oh wait, I saw that on HN" but have been
