don't blame this startup for trying. i don't know how big a cut the telcos take and yes, a phone should not be that expensive but we'll see where the price goes. for a start, highe…

I hope you fail with CC and let the public know bitcoin's strength rather than see sneak in some paragraph in the small print of your TOS that allows you to keep the CC data for ha…

I am 100% sure that automatically landing a pizza in your front yard will be technically feasible long before the theft rate of these neat gadgets would drop to an acceptable rate.…

I disagree!!! Facebook is great from the sender side and so is G+ but both suck at the receiving side. What we need is not a way to select who we spam as that is a feature that wou…

All anecdotal. Wish they would gps-tag a dog and proof it's commuting between a small set of stations regularly visiting the same stations. I mean, using the train to just get away…

Many services force you to use long passwords that don't closely match a text book etc. If a service knows my e-mail address, wouldn't it make sense to test if the password is the …

Oh great! ;) So I can order a pizza to my GPS coordinates paid with bitcoin from my Android on the beach? That's cool! Only problem with an anonymous order (hey, of course it shoul…

Am I the only one who read "crap genius"?

I searched for variance and apparently nobody mentioned this before: They talk of Mean request time: 306ms Median request time: 46ms Which indicates a very high variance, so don't …

A shop charging 20% to shop for you is not the bitcoin break through that would change the rate within hours. Look at the trade volume in $$. It increased faster than the exchange …

thanx for the TLDR.

Normally when I ask people to review a draft, I put it into an etherpad. Etherpad also features version control to the letter, concurrent editing, tagging of versions, editor color…

maybe they store a hash along your strongly encrypted file. this way they could go after copy-righted files accross the system once reported at the cost of quasi-decrypting some of…

If you happen to plan on making yet another mobile OS, make sure it runs Android apps. Anything that is a burden to the developers will not fly easily. Bada OS? It's fast, so what?…

Muting … can only be the first step. I don't want to mute Aaron Swartz because I'm sick of hearing about him but I want to tell my computer that I know of the fact that he died. I …

Uhm, I hover to not trigger outbound traffic and check the actual url of the link before I click. Wouldn't want my browser to try and render a page that I didn't even click.

Demurrage's value is equal to miners' reward. This greatly limits Freicoin to not set a too high percentage. Imagine 50% of the existing money reserve going into bookkeeping of Fre…

Ok, so I am a Bitcoin fan and I am a demurrage fan but I couldn't figure out how you could combine these two. 5% of all coins disappear per year. (BTW: Gesell's Wörgl had a much mu…

Who is "you"? You, adrianwaj could make it more appealing to bitcoiners by offering some cool features. I programmed a bitcoin wallet for facebook (and never put it live as I fear …

Thanks for the link. It has some good tips but I guess it's indicative of how hard it can be to give direct negative feedback that even your book on the subject doesn't provide one…

A friend has a situation. A co-worker repeatedly said stuff in front of clients that are complete no-goes insulting the clients and disqualifying other colleagues the clients depen…
