99% secure is NOT the same as 100% secure. I'd argue that having your data on the cloud is pretty much giving away ownership. Companies don't want to do it.
Having a standard of living is a status marker? If you want to live in a commune, why don't you convince 10 other people to go live with you out on a farm?

I mean, most of Central America figured out how to cover the bitterness of coffee 50 years ago -- supersaturate it with sugar. And in Cuba where sugar is free, in most drinks there's almost as much sugar as there is…
Arxiv is by its nature open access; Arxiv does not charge for access. On the other hand, the articles that this site hosts require payment to access. The journals typically charge $30 / article, or roughly $2,000 / year…
Can confirm this is widely known within music pedagogy. However, quite a few of my peers thought it was "stupid" and just practiced the same piece over and over, at the same tempo, without ever stopping and working on…
Except that flash cards DO improve language acquisition skills! http://www.wired.com/2008/04/ff-wozniak/
Would it be possible for a cross between Git and Torrents? Rather than having a central server to pull/push from, instead the server would provide a list of clients. If the server goes down, the list is still available,…
This is a tragedy of the commons problem. If there are 100 individuals, then if one individual stops working, average UBI payout would only decrease 1%. So, a rational actor would stop working. Similarly, if 95 out of…
Actually, anonymous financial transactions are quite common. Every time you purchase something with cash, the seller receives payment with no knowledge of who you are or how you got the money. And the definition of…
Einstein was hardly the best mathematician at the time, simply because there were people who spent as much time on theoretical math as he did on physics.
But really, Forbes asked users to disable their adblockers, and then delivered malware: http://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/security-data-prot...
They don't expect you to pay for the article--hardly anyone does. It's so they can go to the institutions and say, "We'll give you an unlimited subscription for $X!" The only way that subscription seems reasonable is if…
It's all about trade-offs. Bitcoin may have trouble competing against a "stable" currency like USD or EUR, but would have a huge benefit over a heavily manipulated one like in Venezuela, where inflation sits at ~60%. If…
I bet a lot of those people who left did the following: 1. Take the payout 2. Take a few weeks vacation 3. Get a new job (when you switch jobs you usually get a raise).
Court rules that the case may proceed. It is not making a judgement whether they actually violated the rules.
What I would like to see is "What if Bob only invested using advice from the interwebs?"
One of the two focuses of the secret service is financial crimes: "Financial Crimes, covering missions such as prevention and investigation of counterfeit U.S. currency, U.S. treasury securities, and investigation of…
Thanks!

You'd be surprised how many applications are using techniques for optimization that not only work poorly but require more work. Many programmers, academics, and students who browse HN may benefit from AD but don't know…
> Adobe CC is far cheaper than buying the full version every couple years. Many people wouldn't buy the newest version that only included 1 or 2 extra "features". No longer can you buy Photoshop and use it for 5 years.
Ha! Good luck creating open-source CAD software that engineers and manufacturers will trust and use.
Parent's point is that if BitFury did that, then nobody would trust Bitcoin anymore, thus crashing the price.
