Note that this is a database of fake phishing websites that impersonate legit projects (and try to steal your money) - its not a database of scamy ICOs. As mentioned - there are certainly those too - but I don't remember any with bigge

You could say the same thing about "traditional" startups though - investors often invest just based on the combination of the idea, founders/team and maybe an early prototype. If the startup fails - nothing "bad" w

ICOs are more akin to angel/VC rounds than IPOs - you often invest in a idea thats still not fully developed and might need 1-2 years to come out on the market. The huge difference to traditional investing is that shares/tokens ar

Again - not really trying to discuss Flash, was just drawing parallels. Even though my Mac never had significant problems with Flash. I mean - fix what? I don't have Flash installed any more but my fans still spin-up with multiple tabs

And there we go again. Where/when did I ever say that Flash on mobile was great? Just discussing monopolies and drawing parallels. To be fair Adobe was always pushing Flash as a cross-platform, cross-browser system - mobile browsers ki

Officially Apple's reasoning for barring Flash was that web should be pushed forward. Now, almost 8 years later when web is "almost there" - its still hindering real web-app experiences in the iOS browser. Its pretty clear wh

have always wondered on the benefits of forming a company in Estonia - I'm not an expert - but wouldn't you still need to pay personal taxes in your country of residence (where you spend 6+ months in a year) in addition on what yo

Sure it does - even if you totally ignore the fact that the same AMP page is loading quite a bit of JS, that its almost double the size and double the number of requests - you're assuming that all requests are cached and thats not corr

AMP is of course mostly meant for articles - but we wanted to see how it did for complex(er) layouts. Had a weekend hackathon to recode our main one-pager for performance and SEO recently + we also did an AMP version of the page at http:&#

Takes me back to the time of Netscape 2.0 where webpages were not complete without a fire.gif background :) BTW did a pure CSS3 fire a while ago too: http://pag.es/fire/test.html

The animation quality is really bad i.e. jerky. The best advice for smooth animation is to leave DOM alone as much as you can. 1) cache all that you can in variables (i.e. not only cache DOM access but group/batch it). 2) implement req

Oh ok - thought you had your countries mixed up but now you're just trying to dig yourself out of the gutter. You need to check your facts on multiple things you've written. Its true that most refugees are trying to make it to Ger

Yeah - you're definitely remembering wrong or you have your countries mixed up. Croatia was actually the only (border-) EU country that allowed passage to all refugees (I'm guessing thats what you're referring to) and there w

Efficiency is a really subjective benchmark. Especially when there are multiple browsers and platforms in play. Look at the WebGL example posted a few comments above - it will very efficiently warm up your GPU :) Of course the content of a

Particle tests are a dime a dozen. You could have seen the same things in Flash 10 years ago. BTW I'm on a Mac viewing your (66k polygons) example in Chrome - and my fans started spinning almost a few seconds after opening your link. F

If you're implying that Flash is using only software-based rendering while WebGL is hardware accelerated - thats not really true. Look it up - Flash has been doing HW acc. for years now across platforms. Its 2015 now and it took WebGL

A colleague of mine was a very vocal anti-Flash proponent - he used to say that he's tired of his laptop overheating from those 5 stupid animated Flash banners (on his favourite news site). The irony of it is - I'm not sure 5 anim

Bugs are always bad (and security bugs even more so) - but I've always felt that Flash gets a disproportional amount of hate/hype in the media. To some degree it should be normal that the more widespread a technology is - the more

Taxes really are quite high - not sure how good of an indicator for this is tax to GDP ratio though. A lot of the people frequenting HN are (usually) well off IT workers - so I find the following list quite telling - it shows an effective i

Note that the amounts in the article are not factually correct. Its really not $138. Its actually: A.) max. 2500kn (croatian kuna) or $367 USD for singles B.) max. 1250kn or $183 per household member (so for families of 4 it would be $183 x
