Can you provide examples here?

.

Additionally, won't most of the efforts & impact be cyber security?

The ole "what good is an army with no orders"

nice! just out of curiosity, what city are you in?

Yes.

Though of course only one (ETH) is the 'official' Ethereum chain. But that in and of itself is being debated.

Chicagoan here, lots of drivers I've spoken with prefer Lyft. Most reference the great support they get from Lyft corporate.

it's good to see Yodlee have some competition, hopefully they can choose to compete as well.

"Go huge" for some reason sounds like incorrect grammar. Is it correct?

Surely someone's done this, but I can't find any examples

Nice! (Typo on government)

realistic & efficient, good thought

HN is particularly great at making the first / best digestion top comment as well

What areas are these applications in? Mining keeps getting tossed around but nobody's put out a clear roadmap / business model for it

Hey awesome list! Do you feel like the additional work required on the front end is repaid by the productivity gains in the morning? Like one hour of added prep, two hours of morning work?

Is there any other evidence of this being a coordinated attack?

currently creating a smart contracts application on a private blockchain and came to a similar thought as your #2

> using pieces of Bitcoin

ECDSA is great, have you run across any db's using it? Seems like a great component to extract from the blockchain craze

That's true, even with less pressure it would have been in their reach to work on those projects. Seems strange to be just happening now.

You misunderstood him. He was talking about running a non-bitcoin program on that small computer.

What about, and this is an attempt: "A Merkle tree of transactions signed using an elliptic curve digital signature and validated using a consensus algorithm"

thats the best consolidated broad definition of a blockchain I've heard. Do you mind if I use it?

Should we also include elliptic curve signatures?

We're going to be running into the same problem as we're planning to roll out thousands of new Gmail & other google app accounts over the next couple of months.

Has Google made any statement about whether these will be operable or not?

Thought this was weird. Flight aware shows flights for the two days around the missing flight but no records for the one that's lost.

I assume they took the record down when it went missing?

stats requested, stats delivered, hackernews

I certainly hope it's hackable as well. Doesn't look like they're offering any options for developers to get in on it though.

This is cool - I didn't see any detail of the mic array on the site, where did you find it?

Also, do you think it's feasible for Amazon to keep a voice profile on the speakers? I'm thinking if they are going to tout perfect voice recognition they'll have to make it person-specific at some point.

Comment C) is right on! The amount of coordination and planning it would take to secretly pull it off greatly surpasses even the most talented and motivated groups.

It's interesting you use Gandhi as an example, there is some substantial evidence he had access to a great deal of the world's bounty due to his positive impact. This would seem like a market efficiency.

It seems this artist had significant exposure to the potential customer, along with a recording contract which would suggest promotional funding. With my cold-hearted economist hat on it's tempting to assign this less to a market inefficiency than not contributing much to society.
