hasn't it been the same in China for 5000 years? What's different now? The only difference I can tell is China becoming the world empire and this is not because of the democracy.

The Internet has been raised on the shoulders of giants - people who basically devoted their lives to it.

The current wave is brought up by these trying to grab a piece of the Web and keep others at bay, the game is ruled by investors. This bunch only understands walled gardens, no hope to talk them into open thinking. At all.

We've already had this discussed more than once that people themselves do not care about any particular approach, people just want something to work. As long as commercial services do the job people will use them.

Like with any freedom movement there should be the underlying philosophy that will live long enough for others to finally catch on.

But going just head on like the author suggests will not help. If you start a new service the last thing you want to spend your resources on is a RFC. And you won't ever get more resources than the investors of AOL 2.0. Unfortunately.

Any plans for spider chart? Geo charts?

This wasn't your fault, wasn't it?

That is exactly why one can almost always laugh when reading about a company's mission to make the world a better place. Better to whom?

Right on the same HN homepage:

RiotJS also looks very compelling

Nowadays "being originally from Ukraine" is giving people the right to talk shit.

bla bla bla

short version: software is eating the world

Does it need my password to go through HubPress?

Being able to render progressively to the response buffer would be great

That's another way of staying minimal, but still, the library makers get to maintain that pile of rarely used features and that may slow down development, delay releases.

it is really unacceptable when your app can do without it - and that's Riot is trying to prove. It doesn't mean to hurt your feelings.

I think you aren't being nice trying to teach him manners. Having others already upvoted this submission we can move over this 'incident', can we?

I don't think this is necessarily bad in this case. It's quite normal for busy people to focus on their work, many YC startup founders do the same.

The first submission has caused quite a hot discussion, so submitting again the next day isn't overkill IMO.

How about that: Open source, he said, creates a license "so that nobody can ever improve the software," he claimed, bemoaning the squandered opportunity for jobs and business.

You guys need to join forces to work on ReactJS - the concepts pretty much overlap, only React takes it further, providing good compromise between in-code templating and html files.

Unlike Coinbase, Circle works across the globe

It works the same for US : can do whatever it wants and there are no consequences

Comments on the referenced twitter "sources" are hilarious. Shows just how sarcastic people are of any propaganda these days.

You can still use SSL, why that argument? BitAuth makes you sign-up and log-in with a public key, SSL plays along to verify the server. Win-win?

Don't think trivial and you'll be safe. There are degrees of corruption between of the biggest countries and the tiny ones, but not so much inside the group. The methods vary, of course.

Russian intelligence agencies had access to everything all along. Every big telecom in Russia is obliged to implement the necessary procedures.

Russians prefer a cleptocratic government with Putin than a cleptocratic government without Putin. There are no non-cleptocratic governments in the world. Power corrups ... you know the rest of this, right?

This looks more like escort services, not Uber

There was a problem with multipools exploiting the 'random' block reward - which wasn't truly random - and getting more coins than they normally would. As of now this has been fixed and the price should go up a bit. Also, in about month time the block reward will halve.

Meanwhile they can clean their shit in the countries you mentioned.

Will Russia thrive if it doesn't cut off from the West, but the West will continue to ignite unrest in all parts of the world? Feel free to not reply.

There are no Ukrainians in Crimea, it was part of Russia and was literally given to Ukraine as a gift during USSR. Not Putin, but people in Crimea decide what they want. They'll have a referendum on 30th of March.
