I feel like I have seen the comment on singularity somewhere else (by MJ himself). Does anyone remember?

Isn't this behind a paywall? Doesn't HN got some guidelines on posting articles behind a paywall?

Isn't this one of the April 1st jokes from 2012? Most of the commits were made on March 31, 2012[1]. And there's even a reference to the pi joke[2].

I second this. I found out about Penflip earlier today and was interested in using it for my fiction writing hobbies. But the 50 repos plan is an overkill for me. I would also like to see some smaller plans, maybe for 10 repos?

bonchibuji | 12 years ago | on: Reddit to Give 10% of Its 2014 Ad Revenue to Non-Profits Picked by Its Users
I have a Netflix connection and I am in Finland. 98% of the time, when I search for a movie/documentary/series on Netflix, it's unavailable for streaming (mostly because the content for Netflix Finland is far less than that for US). Then, I have to head over to PirateBay to get the stuff. It's the fastest way. I could order a DVD from Amazon UK or Germany, but then it would take at least a week.
As long as content producers and distributors fail to find a faster way to distribute their offerings, I think piracy will continue and grow.
