They could also be used for other blockchain based technologies such as bitmessage, or future voting systems. (I think, correct me if I'm wrong)

They can be used for other currencies. For example namecoin must be getting a huge boost from all the bitcoin mining. My mining pools just throws in namecoins for me. I guess they can check the same hash against both systems.

I've always wondered what kind of rate a high volume company like McDonalds or Walmart could negotiate? Could they be paying pennies per transaction?

I feel like this wouldn't jibe with conservation of energy. Unless the bird can eat in the air somehow. It just physically couldn't store enough fuel to fly to fix months straight, right?

Couldn't this be a failed solar system with this as it's sun that just wasn't big enough to ignite?

I don't think you can know that. What if the drug turns on genes responsible for building more "brain structures"? Or what if the human brain is currently artificially limited say to conserve energy and a drug could remove t

I'm confused as to why it would leave behind h3 and h4?

Wouldn't intelligence be 100% genetic. I mean humans have intelligence and insects have way less. And all that programming to make one or the other is encoded in the DNA.

Really cool! Any tips on finding similarly undervalued businesses?

By the way flippa seems to be getting worse and worse though I can't really put my finger on why. I find the sites for sale on flippa to be overpriced. They seem to go for 18 months profit (or more) for an ad supported site that could

I think a lot of people would be interested in buying such businesses. I really don't know where you'd find them though. One thought I had would be a once per month "who's selling" hacker news post for people to lis

Somewhat relatedly how does unemployment insurance work for the furloughed? Can they collect it? If they get back pay later do they have to return the unemployment payments? Could they actually come out ahead?

Does the charge in the battery affect the flammability? For example would a completely discharged battery never catch fire?

Wow it's wired. I got an email from Verizon offering me a cheaper plan within 30 minutes of browsing the plans on straight talk? (And googling to find it) Any chance there's some crazy cookie tracking magic there? Or just a coinc

How can it be so much cheaper than AT&T? It seems almost too good to be true, no? I'm paying double that for way less minutes/data!

Does straightalk work pretty well nationwide? How does it compare to major carriers?

What about paperwork? More or less? Also the plans on ehealthinsurance can't require preexisting conditions ?

I'm pretty confused about this. I thought the ACA plans through the exchanges don't take effect until January (or later?). So do you need to buy a plan now on the exchange? And then buy a separate plan to cover you until then?

Yeah, it seems like this is becoming a problem.

By the way, would it be worth making a monthly thread for buying and selling web apps (or businesses in general)?
