A buddy and I created http://bitcoinsimplified.org to try to solve that problem.

Mormons believe that the fastest and best improvements to the quality of life of an individual come through conversion to the church. That being said, the LDS church in general does a lot of humanitarian aid and Mormon missionaries in particular spend significant chunks of time engaged in charitable service.

Source: I served a mission in NYC and we spent plenty of time at soup kitchens, food pantries, and just helping out anyone who needed a hand.

> “If this is done correctly, an organization can get to a person who is having personal issues or problems that if not addressed by a variety of social means may lead that individual to violence, theft or espionage before it even gets to that point,” said a senior Pentagon official, who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

Looks like there's some senior Pentagon officials who have a peer they can snitch on.

This sort of change would only be necessary if the value of a bitcoin grows significantly making today's dust into tomorrow's crumbs. I don't generally pick up pennies, but I've never ignored a dollar before.

It's non-trivial, but further division of bitcoins is possible to implement and would likely be accepted by the network if it was in the best interest of the currency.

There are many reasons why kids get bullied. There is no unified theory of bullying that explains it all.

For years I thought I was picked on because I was smarter than my peers. Looking back, it seems more likely that I was really kind of a brat about getting better scores on things. There were plenty of smart kids at my school who didn't get picked on.

By May 2011 when the form was filled out, Mt. Gox had already pivoted to bitcoin.

Unless you can turn your bitcoins into goods and services.

> "800 officers who reached speeds of 90-130 mph"

Technically, couldn't this be 799 guys who meant to go 85 but drifted up to 90 and one jerk who went 130?

thanks for the reply. I always have bitcoinity open. (dark theme FTW).

The answer to the question I was trying to ask is https://coinbase.com/network/blocks which enables me to check in on how far behind the future legitimate blockchain is (7 blocks at time of writing).

What is a good way to follow updates on this situation?

Whatever happened to "Name your own security question?" You used to be able to do that with many services, but now it seems every service I use forces me to a small set of easily guessed questions.

A security feature that requires me to lie to maintain its security is NOT a good security feature.

Apple's clock design was indistinguishable from the original. This is not.

> Bitcoin doesn't allow chargebacks, an important consumer protection mechanism, therefore helping to perpetuate fraud.

Chargebacks enable WAY more fraud than they stop.

I totally agree that that is a moral invasion of privacy. I'm just not convinced it's a legal one.

> ...then you can bet I would be charged with a crime!

What crime? I can't think of one that would apply.

> Acting in concert with someone else to violate someone's rights makes you liable...

This might be where our opinions diverge. To what rights do you refer? I think your right to privacy may be waived when you consent to have the pictures taken and sent to a third party without a written contract.

That doesn't sound like the whole story, but if it is then their takedown request system needs to be fixed. I guess what I'm saying is I'd be interested in knowing what steps if any occurred between her emailing the website and her suing the website.

I assume the majority of the pictures were taken with consent and trusted to a boyfriend, etc. If you don't like what your boyfriend did with the picture you sent him, file a DMCA request.

If the pictures were not taken with consent, then it's a law enforcement issue. Voyeurism, hacking, etc. are already illegal.

It seems like a DMCA takedown request should probably do the trick. As much as I think what sites such as Texxxan.com are doing is sleazy and classless, I don't think it should be illegal. We have to protect the rights of sites with user-submitted content.

Edit: Also, digitized nude pictures of yourself are basically always a bad idea.

FYI: It looks fine with "Hacker News Enhancement Suite" Chrome extension.

> I'm thinking of something a bit more substantial than a blog post.

What do you have in mind? Someone needs to mobilize the little guys and get something done.

Firing someone is still a step in the right direction if it forces other prosecutors to even think about the possibility of them being fired as well.

> This is what a broken copyright enforcement system looks like.

Alright, so how do we fix it? How can content producers protect themselves from legitimate copyright infringement on services such as YouTube that allow unverified uploads on a massive scale?

Is there any sort of directory for Hacker News skins/mods/hacks? I feel like there is probably a more efficient way for me to view Hacker News, but I've found no convenient way to compare the different options.

LinkedIn has been similarly creepy to me. Someone I have never met with whom I share zero common connections has begun showing up in my recommendations because I viewed their profile once months ago.

I like the content, but I dislike the annoying way in which it is presented.

"Yet multiple studies of pre-workout stretching demonstrate that it actually raises your likelihood of injury and lowers your subsequent performance." This was the only claim that surprised me and the only one that didn't provide much of a source. Time to dust of the old search engine, I guess.

On my 1366x768 laptop in chrome, the dodecahedron covers some text. I had to zoom out to read it.

"It's harder than it looks" is talking about the mouse controls, right?

Did OP just break the Victoria's Secret Web Site Terms, Conditions and Notices? Were it enforceable, what sort of penalty could OP face?
