Ya, that is how Russ Hanneman made his money. He invented radio on the internet.

>writing thoughtful comments when there is some algorithm that just deletes them at random?

huh? i'm a very active redditor across many subs and i've never encountered anything like that. you're the first person i've ever seen even mention it. unless i'm not understanding what you mean?

It's referencing a person that goes by gwern. Who that is, I haven't fully gathered. He is talked about a lot (and active) on /r/bitcoin and has had some popular Satoshi related answers on Quora. Seems to get a lot of respect (that is likely his website).

That second link is basically an admission that he is Satoshi -- or that he and Hal Finney together were Satoshi. If you read between the lines.

I annotated with explanations of what I mean:

Why would something like that need to be a a 'widely held belief' -- aren't faculty easily identifiable i.e. listed on their website, or confirmed via a phone call?

>every other US company with international revenues has already

That's a bit of an overstatement. I think what you mean is every huge tech company or something along those lines. And I doubt it is even true for every member of that cohort. Though you are of course correct that it is common.

Thanks.

>whatever decision your friend makes is theirs

That's the hardest part. I know that logically but they are alive now. And I know there is a real chance they could wind up taking their own life at some point. I want to fucking prevent that from happening. It's a helpless feeling knowing that I can't. At least not with any degree of certainty.

I have a friend currently struggling hard with this. They know that going to the school for help is not an option for this exact reason. They are going to be looking out for the school first and the student second. That's really unfortunate because the school has everything in place to be able to help the most.

I'm at a loss for how to help, beyond just being there as much as possible. They are doing all they can to get better, seeing a psychiatrist, taking medications etc -- but they are still having suicidal thoughts on a daily basis.

While I agree with others that your name and where you live are not doing you any favors, you have also attempted to start at the very top with the most prestigious internships. Many people would be rejected doing that, even if they were American and went to top US schools. Try a tier lower, and a tier lower than that. And then work your way up to the Facebook's and Dropbox's of the World, once you have some American companies on your resume.

Think I solved it:

May 15, 16, 19 -- June 17, 18 -- July 14, 16 -- August 14, 15, 17

If A knows B doesn't know it, remove months with unique dates:

July 14, 16 -- August 14, 15, 17

If B now knows it, it cannot be 14. Remove that:

July 16-- August 15, 17

If A now knows it, has to be July 16.

don't delete the room! lol

edit: this doesn't work on a public forum. some asshole always deletes it.

It's called Draw Something and omgpop was a tiny site when they shut it down. Something like Alexa 2 million. It had effectively no users.

Every tech company does that to surplus assets in an acquisition because keeping them running would require more resources than they are worth and they'd be a distraction.

Google killed several Slide games that were relatively big. Same reason.

It's not considered trademark infringement if you use it to criticize the company and you don't profit off of confusion with their mark. See paypalsucks.com which has won lawsuits against PayPal.

If it's <company>.app or something then you're right. But 'sucks' is a unique case with precedent.

Whatever it means, the reporter was implying he's full of shit.

That's only a way to avoid getting sued by privacy trolls. Other trolls will still find a way to sue you. Once you are majorly successful, you will get sued regularly. Period.

>“Money doesn’t mean a ton,” Mr. Edelson said during an interview in the lobby of the Four Seasons hotel in San Francisco, wearing a watch whose face was loaded with diamond flecks.

Well played.

According to sama, they would fund anything that can become a $10bn company.

Title has been edited so it's not clickbait.

Actual title: "Technobubble: The 23 Most Expensive Tech Stocks"

That does not change what I said.

Yes, there will be scams. And there will be successes.

>isn't public investment in shaky tech companies exactly what led to the early dotcom bubble?

Actually...yes.

The criticism of 'noobs will get fleeced' I think is silly. This one however, is valid. This could lead to dumbMoney sending valuations of dumbCompanies through the roof, also sending valuations of the good companies higher -- leading to a pretty nasty bubble.

>Why would pre-IPO Facebook take their money?

Two main reasons:

1. Control: Traditional investors want power. Board seats. Founders like Zuck who want to retain control would be able to do it if they funded via the crowd. Right now he has (rare) voting control but if he had funded via the crowd he could have had 100% control. Every single board seat.

2. Leverage: If they wanted VC money for their advice and connections etc -- but they didn't want to give up the aforementioned control, they could use crowdfunding (or the threat of crowdfunding) as leverage. This leverage could also be applied to deal terms like amount raised, valuation etc. Competition is great for negotiations.

It'll be just like Kickstarter. Yes there is fraud and yes there are well meaning failures but you also get huge successes like Oculus (and many others).

Just as there are sure to be well publicized stories about people getting fleeced -- there will be stories about other people getting rich.

I didn't realize you quoted the number of replies, I thought HN did that automatically.

>I'll go away again

haha i never said to go away. play it like it feels. i'm biased since you were responding to my submission.

The two with discussion are certainly relevant. The others were not. To me, they served only to give the false impression that this has been discussed a lot more than it actually has.

> They are not intended to scold people for submitting things that have been submitted before

So I guess that explains why you began with 'oh no, not again'

While that certainly is an intimidating set of links you have there, only two of those have any discussion -- one over two years ago, the other nearly four years ago.

The user in a 3rd World country and speaks (reads) very limited English. With 3rd World internet and an $80 computer.

I can only say why I shared it here:

I thought it would be of interest to hackers. That's what these doctors are doing...hacking the end of life.

Do you have data disproving the anecdotes?

>why Pigeon needed to develop their own system instead of piggybacking on GV

Who said they aren't piggybacking on GV (or somebody else)? They were vague about the tech behind their VOIP. Which is what I would expect from somebody doing exactly what you suggested. They wouldn't be honest about that or they'd be telling their customers they could just use GV instead...

What they've done is found a market and figured out how to market to them. That's huge. If you can solve those problems, you could do it too. Not every business has to make a huge technological leap to be successful.

Site looks really good. Have you gotten much traction?
