I can, but other people might not.

Gamer's arguments have always been that shooters are artificial environments with no personality involved. In Counterstrike you're fighting against stereotypical terrorists that are in no way related to your personal life.

Here, you "kill" real people with a face. Objective? Motivation? Kill him before he kills me?

I'm deeply concerned about this and find it disgusting.

Reading the blog article I get the assumption that you plead for a maximal decentralisation of the consensus process.

This assumption may however be wrong looking at the requirements of a system like Bitcoin. In my _opinion_ those are:

- A optimal scalable and fast system

- A optimal decentralized system

The thing is these requirements influence each other, which means that we shouldn't aim for maximizing one or the other, but both at the same time, keeping them balanced.

This article is from 2011...

If your workplace was just 10-15 minutes away, straight down the road I just don't understand why you didn't took the countless public transport opportunities.

Paris has IMHO one of the most affordable and pleasant metros I've ever used in Europe. I'd almost like to guarantee you that you would have reached your goal faster, cheaper and more relaxed if you'd taken the metro!

This might be the most dotcom-ish post I've read since joining HackerNews.

Don't get me wrong on this but even the argumentation is clearly wrong here:

> work in places so magical they could be on the cover of travel magazines

> under an umbrella on a beach in Senegal, in cafes in old Arab medinas, and more

> Adventurous Startups.

and then

> YOU’LL BE MORE FOCUSED

I've tried this myself and my experience was that working abroad is totally doable but by no means did I achieve focusing more on my work.

Instead I would pick any chance meeting new people and discover the new environment.

Also: In my opinion everything comes down to networking, which is why a lonely beach in Marocco might not be the right place to start this...

> For the document explorer, do you want to see the documents that you created or just interesting docs that anybody created? Either way, we just pushed up a way to export a doc as an image by appending .svg to the end of the url--I’m excited about using them as thumbnail previews in the explorer.

Me personally, I'd like to see a list of my own recent modified documents and a way to name them. Like Google Drive for example. I wouldn't integrate a way for looking at other documents before you're not able to "lock" documents so that others can't destroy them.

Hi there,

I just fell in love with this!

It's fast and responsive, collaborative and MOST-IMPORTANTLY it's easy to use! Go to the url, boom doc got created for you, link is shareable.

Only thing I'd like to see now is some kind of document explorer and maybe a way to protect documents or make them mine because right now I could theoretically access any document: https://prcrsr.com/document/1

> - I use Twitter a LOT to communicate with people I'd otherwise have no access to, because I don't have their email or they are too busy answering me through the company mailbox. Twitter makes everyone (except for celebs) reachable. If I need some guy at Google who write library X, I just send him a tweet.

That one is a killer-feature right there I've managed to discover lately. Twitter completely sucks, because if you are just a normal person doing normal things noone will ever care about you. BUT, in case you're interested in some very specific topic and the contributing people then you should give twitter a try...

I've always wondered what pure software startups are doing with millions of dollars.

I mean come on you can develop awesome software without having a fancy office, nice furniture and a super high salary.

Take me and my friends for example. We love building stuff and work for all our products in university or at home. Also we're doing it for, what, like 400$ a month working 20-30h...

Cool, thanks for answering.

> [...] but our solution does combine several different techniques to minimize that effect.

Can you elaborate on this techniques? What is it exactly that you're using?

From my experience as someone who has already implemented an complete iBeacon based iOS App that is used as an art gallery guide I don't believe that this indoor location tracking you're advertising is working when there is more than one person in the room.

As my academic advisor always said: Every human is an 80kg water bag thats disturbing the signal.

Did you test this with multiple persons in the room and if so, what was your result concerning accuracy.

Great list!

I love the development we're seeing in modern mobile web apps. The web is definitely ready but still everybody around me seems to think that when you're the owner of a business then you should also provide your users with a special app on Android and iOS and a web site.

For example: A nightclub in a nearby provincial town as an iOS App for announcing new parties.

I think that you only should consider creating an app as a business if you're doing more than providing your customers with information.

A great modern mobile web app I'm using a lot is: http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/#/

If you save it to your homescreen on Android(Chrome), you will quickly forget that it's a web app.

Trust me and try it!

Where do you get this data from?

I just got a bluescreen clicking on one of the dir links in the start menu

For anyone wondering how to solve this algorithmically: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lights_Out_(game)#Light_chasing

Probably not as much as they'd like it to.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase once said in an interview (http://techcrunch.com/video/coinbase-founder-brian-armstrong...) that they are dividing their bitcoins in hot and cold wallets.

A hot wallet only contains about 5% of the bitcoins the company has. Meanwhile, the other 95% of bitcoins they're holding are stored savely in a key-split cold wallet.

Now, the problem is: if some user wants a large amount of his bitcoins out of coinbase, the guys owing their part of the split private key need to take action to transfer that amount of bitcoins from the cold to the hot wallet, assuming the amount is > 5%.

So what I think "Vault" does is give them a better architecture for planing and organizing their hotwallet-coldwallet-process.
