    I hate headlines like this. Remember when headlines used to be informative rather than trying to get you to click?

    Tldr: bought bitcoin in 2010 and got lucky sitting on it I find these story of stories silly but also indicative of the market. We are in a crytpocurrency mania and these read like…

    I'd imagine every piece of infrastructure is targeted that can be. What's going to be done about it is the real question.

    Acetaminophen Hate the click bait headlines, totally degrading to a paper like Washington post that presumably wants to maintain respectability. But you won't believe what happens …

    A reblog vomit with a garbage bait headline composed of comments on hackernews? What a turd of an "article" and I assume it represents all of "qz.com" quality

    Learning an instrument requires commitment and a lot of practice. And more practice. And more practice. And a lifetime of learning. How many people have the patience for that? Part…

    I played that as a kid and never once connected it to the search engine. I really think it's a poor name choice

    If you've ever seen anyone go through a nasty drawn out expensive divorce you'd be even more shy about it. The divorce industry profits wildly off of emotional turmoil, it's sick t…

    How about Zillow goes even further and cuts the realtor out entirely? How is a realtor anything more than a middle man? Why should they get large percentage of a sale when everyone…
