Thanks for this information. Sorry I didn't know about hn@ycombinator, otherwise would have just emailed them. In any case, I hope at least one other person learned something new today!

Good riddance! Photos come with all sorts of biases (age, gender, race, etc.) and really serve no purpose other than help some "SEO guys" game the system.

Ah thanks, that's what I wanted to know. It's nice to know there's a procedure for this, and I hope the workaround isn't too straightforward for anyone looking to abuse the system. Do you know if the submission privilege

No, this is happening in most parts of the country. See http://www.cato.org/raidmap (more "neutral" source welcome, if someone has another information source/raw data link).

"No additional cost for private registration" is badly required in the industry, and glad to see Google take the lead. Also, there should be an option to 301 redirect your blogspot blog to a domain held by Google. Lots of bloggers

The "community" cannot blacklist anything, it's the miners. And it is very unlikely that miners with >50% of the network hashrate would agree to this, since most heavy miners don't really belong to the "community

That doesn't mean a 51% attack happened, it just means someone got 51% of the network hash rate.

You should incorporate firstbits into the system as well. That will make it very handy and better than most current online tools. Instead of remembering a whole Bitcoin address, the first 6-7 characters would do. Will make usability better

A much bigger discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7890215 It isn't hype, a 51% attack is a very serious breach of confidence.

Not really. There are always lots of 'versions' of the blockchain floating around. The network only keeps track of the longest chain (broadly speaking). This means the network with 51% can determine which transactions get into the

No, 51% is vastly more powerful than 49%. With 51%, you essentially control the entire Blockchain because you can always create a new Blockchain that would be accepted by the network, given enough time. Always. With 49%, you can only get a

$100 million is just the money they said they are going to raise, not the valuation of the company. They do have a lot of sales, but is still a loss-making business.

If they are raising money from American individuals (not Qualified Institutional Buyers) they would need to be registered with the SEC irrespective of where they are headquartered. They might, at most, qualify as foreign private issuer, so

They could always just spinoff the headphones side of the business at a later date if they choose to. The revenues there were close to $1 billion last year, so it isn't unlikely. After all, Google kinda did that with Motorola Mobility,

"Journalists" need to stop equating the price of Bitcoin to conferences or other random events. Seriously, you think the price of Bitcoin is above $500 because of an Amsterdam conference and BitPay's series A funding?

It doesn't look like you took transaction fees into consideration. Also, remember that a lot of orders on exchanges are superfluous and can be removed anytime. This might leave you with a loss on a few trades. Liquidity is another issu
