I would visit this daily if the content quality were better. Maybe start with scraping, then let people post themselves, and gradually move towards no scraping. I like the ticker. Saves me from needing to check elsewhere.

Yes, the ticker is great! I would love a chrome extension that could attach a ticker like this to HN.

I don't accept crypto to mean cryptocurrency. It's like saying butter when you mean butterscotch. Doesn't mean the same thing and shouldn't.

Unfortunately, the world could care less about what you personally accept.

> could care less

Bait?

In a world where 'literally' can be defined as 'figuratively', I'm not sure why we bother splitting hairs on terminology... what is accepted is what is accepted.

99% of the population would have never uttered the word "cryptography" before "cryptocurrencies" started to catch on.

In either case, crypto is an abbreviation.

In most browsers, middle clicking a link will open in a new tab.

I don't have a middle button so it's news to me. I have a modifier key for that or a right click and select "open in new tab"

Might depend on your browser but CTRL+left click will do the same as the middle mouse button--that is, open the link in a new background tab.

CTRL+Shift+Click opens the link in a new tab and switches to it.

This is being shown on HN, not Facebook.

@criddell: ok, carry on trying to keep the global slang out of your little utopic garden.

This is not crypto news, but cryptocurrency news.

Anything is "accepted" (by someone, somewhere). That gives us no Information. FWIW, what is rejected is what is rejected, and I reject this abuse of language.
