Zoomla··on Bitcoins stolen from the users of Sheep Market Place?
as I understand it, the chances are very slim, but a solution might be to "ban" addresses with stolen coins from making transations... but there probably always will be a black market.
Zoomla··on LiteCoin Mining on EC2 is currently profitable
Nobody had to contact me to get a free $100 for EC2, but I used the education grant instead when I did a Coursera class (http://aws.amazon.com/grants/). I have $70.99 leftover from when I got this free $100, so I will use that and try not to go too much over.

Can you use an ASIC miner for Litecoin mining?

Zoomla··on Poll: Hacker News Person of the Year in Tech

Zoomla··on My deadly disease was just a 23andme bug
sure, quit doing CT scans if false negatives or, more importantly, if false positives rate are too high.
Zoomla··on LG says it will push out firmware update for spy TVs, but no apologies
It is possible that they were only transferring the data to a third party (for some cash or some secret order).
Zoomla··on FDA Warning Letter to 23andMe
too bad they are not as rigorous with the food we eat. One example is that they don't even have the resources to check if the food manufacturers claims are true (you can't be sure what type of fish you eat nowadays).
Zoomla··on Here’s who probably did that $150 million Bitcoin transaction
hacking people on #bitcoin, #bitcoin-otc, etc. on freenode might or might not be a good start

Zoomla··on That 60W-equivalent LED: What no one will tell you
They also currently take much more energy to manufacture then an incandescent bulb.
Zoomla··on Surveillance is not about protecting us. It's about control.
The NSA can't even catch an internal problem (leak).
Zoomla··on Beer delivered to your work place every friday.

Zoomla··on Software patent reform just died in the House
I think that you have a good point. But these "tiny" amounts could easily double/triple the politician's salaries (if the companies spend it in the right places, they don't need to bribe everybody).
Zoomla··on Google Wallet Users Can Sign Up Now for Physical Cards
I know that you are kidding because HN is against changes according to what I previously read
Zoomla··on Here's Waldo
He is called Charlie in French... "Où est Charlie ?"
Zoomla··on How to make fake data look meaningful
most real datasets apparently have outliers... you should not remove them if you want it to look real (I heard this from this course: https://class.coursera.org/dataanalysis-002/)
Zoomla··on How to make fake data look meaningful

VLC can do many neat things but you can you easily rate an MP3 file nowadays?
Zoomla··on Why I Canceled Amazon Prime
Isn't it cheaper to deliver a given list of packages in a more densely populated area? It looks like some of USPS' customers are getting screwed.
Zoomla··on Software patent reform just died in the House
I might be wrong but I don't think that the problem is with those companies trying to help themselves. Like many, I think that politicians should not be allowed to accept bribes from companies and that it might just solve problems like this one.
Zoomla··on How Square moves Cash
I always wondered how can ACH be automated and take days to process transactions? Do they use an almost infinite number of monkeys for their automation system?

I heard PATRIOT Act....

Zoomla··on Supreme Court Rejects Case Challenging NSA Phone Spying
I guess the supreme court is also owned by the NSA
Zoomla··on Google's Decline Really Bugs Me
it looks like you answered your own question (at least partially): "GMail's [new] interface pisses me off, the new Maps layout is infuriating" ... but there is many other reasons to dislike Google's choices... I still miss the - and + operator when using Google search for example (this change happened when they started to push Google+)
Zoomla··on Bodies hanging from bridge in Mexico are warning to social media users (2011)
Which social network was this? Did it require real names to be a user 2 years ago? Most people unfortunately don't care about anonymity even if they should.
