It might be "You Are Not So Smart" by David McRaney.

Welp, I now know my login was apart of the Adobe leak.

Shouldichangemypassword.com sent me an email a few weeks ago saying my email address was found in a leaked database, although they couldn't say which one. Considering I have more than 100 accounts which use that particular email address, it didn't help at all. This site did!

I agree with you, but not for those reasons. 4chan threads expire. It's best to link to a backup or screenshot.

Unintentionally also an HN parody generator.

There are little to no fees when making a transaction on the bitcoin network. But companies like Coinbase that buy or sell bitcoins are free to charge fees to cover their cost of operations.

Satoshi couldn't be person of the year, he hasn't been heard from since '10! /s

Same here. 5 attempts over the last 2 days all from unique IPs. Four from Venezuela and one from Beijing.

I'm assuming new favors are checked for quality before being lined up in the queue, right?

>Q. Is Coin password protected?

>A. Your Coin account is password protected and the mobile app requires that you type in your password before you can access sensitive card details.

There is no way in hell I would trust a single password to protect all of my debit, credit, loyalty, or gift cards.

Source?

Oh come on, it's not as simple as that and you know it.

You can use tab + space instead of clicking.

I'm interested in the idea for sure. Is there any way I can get updates on the project (github, website, newsletter)?

Github - https://github.com/humans.txt

Bitbucket - https://bitbucket.org/humans.txt

Flickr - https://secure.flickr.com/humans.txt

This sounds pretty cool. Would the hardware be open source so that other people can build their own?

The blockchain is a public ledger of most every transaction made with bitcoin. It includes sending and receiving addresses and the amount transacted.

You can think of the Coinbase app as a contact book that attaches a name and face to a bitcoin address. This is exclusive to the Coinbase servers. No one else but you can see the identities of the people you have transacted with, only the addresses and amounts.

I can see the Surface functioning better in a business environment than other tablets. It wouldn't be my first choice for a casual-use device.

I'm normally against the idea of spec work, but I think it makes sense for an open source project. People contribute code, sometimes even copy and graphics to open source projects, so what's the problem with crowd-sourcing a logo?

I don't know if I would trust this as the sole authentication method for any of my online accounts, but this could be useful as a multi-factor authentication method instead.

True, but hiding them will only make it worse.

Facebook already did in May 2012. It was called Karma. Facebook Gifts is based off of the Karma platform.

This analogy can be applied to almost anything. According to this criteria, coffee could be considered a startup: the growers of the beans are the founders, the hipsters sipping their cold frappuccinos at Starbucks are the evangelists, and the price for one pound of coffee beans is its market price.

The only problem here is that coffee is a commodity, not a startup. Anyone can grow it and sell it. Likewise, bitcoins can be mined and sold by anyone. Bitcoin by design is decentralized, meaning that there is no central authority, such as a bank, mining new bitcoins. There is no company or government body that officially runs Bitcoin, only individuals (but in a distributed fashion). A startup is completely different, in that it has a governing body and is usually centralized.

Bitcoin in a sense is both a currency and a commodity, but is definitely not a startup.

That's a bad analogy. Spilling water on your wife and domestic violence are very different things. Both the inadvertent (and arguably unconstitutional) collection of Americans' data by the NSA and the willful abuse of power by the NSA are pretty horrendous acts, whichever you choose to believe happened.

Am I the only one who thought from the description that this would condense users' social media feeds, making them look like they were product back labels?

That's really impressive and works well. Hopefully iOS will eventually have a way to try out apps before purchasing.

Personally, I follow way too many people to get any actual enjoyment out of Twitter. I would really like to slim down, but it would take a considerable amount of time to do so.

But if you're interested in web development and design, check out http://uptodate.frontendrescue.org/ for some good pointers on who to follow.

Hopefully that isn't the only mean of authentication.

What, through VNC? That doesn't seem like it would be a very enjoyable experience.

Looks like they forgot to update Yahoo Notepad.

Startupli.st, AngelList and MoMB (http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/) come to mind.
