   You realize Wikipedia runs on donations? You realize how expensive their hosting alone is?

   There's tons of software that's truly free. The creators usually make money on tech support and donations.

   So? IT is doing extremely well. The internet is bigger than ever. Valuations are still crazy.

   Yes, it's possible, but not likely. There's a ton of infrastructure behind bitcoin. Tons of news coverage. Tons of debate. Nobody is aware of the second biggest coin - litecoin.

    I usually limit them to alphanum, spaces, dashes, underscores. The rest of the characters is a pain to type on mobile. I also try to futureproof with using extra long passwords. Most of the time I copy-paste them anyway, so it doesn't

    I actually use KeePass myself with a few hundred thousand of iterations. Here's my comment in this same thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6864466 I agree that if you pre-hash your passwords 1 million times y

    You're assuming all your important software does that many iterations. In reality you'd be lucky if all of it does one iteration. In which case it will only take a day on one machine. You're also underestimating how massively

    I don't memorize any passwords except for one - the master password for KeePass. All my passwords are randomly generated, I set the minimum at 30 characters. My most important passwords are 40 to 50 characters. I highly recommend a sim

    Nothing stops you from doing HFT on one exchange, or on multiple ones independently. Most of them have APIs.

    "correct horse battery staple" is actually not good. It's made up of 4 very common words. So the complexity to bruteforce is around 10000^4 = 10^16 ≈ 2^53.15 So only 53 bits of security. I wouldn't protect somet

    Your bank account has no utility on its own. So what? It's still valuable. Bitcoin is valuable because of its properties, and that's why people are willing to pay more than $1,000 for each.

    So it means you have to bring this kind of expensive machine with you everywhere you go if you want to use gold as means of payment. Ridiculous.

    It's rare per pound, but it's not limited in any real sense like bitcoin. Gold is mined to the point where 2% of it is added to the traded/stored amounts. It's pretty much guaranteed to lose value. And then there's
