Out of curiosity, who did I personally insult this time? Or was I banned because I insulted a "business" model that ycombinator is watering at the mouth to cash in on? ..or is it because I said truthful/unflattering things ab

Robinsons in general have this problem (among others, such as their tendency to disassemble their own rotor systems in flight, and their incredibly awkward t-bar cyclic controls), but I'd still rather take my chances with a Robinson au

As both a rotorcraft and fixed wing pilot, I really don't want this to succeed. Most people have no business on the road, let alone in the sky. That's without even getting into the safety issues with this thing that are being con

Had you wired that money from Coinbase, you'd still be waiting for it months later. Maybe they're just trying to avoid being faster than Bitcoin.

Ahh yes, the "anyone who doesn't think Bitcoin is going to be worth more than all of the wealth currently held on Earth, is just jealous that they missed out" argument. I find this particularly amusing when it's directed

It looks more like it can hobble 4mph, based on that video.

Mt. Finex and Mt. Coinbase are in a race to see who can claim the title from Mt. Gox. Unfortunately for cryptocurrency markets, the end result will be disaster regardless of who wins that race.

Having met some early (and I'm assuming still current) Coinbase employees several times in social situations, I can say without a doubt that "I would trust these guys with my money" wasn't among my thoughts about them. T

The giant iPad in Teslas is stupid as well, but at least it isn't directly in front of the driver's face - begging to become a distraction. On another note, I find it's useful to mentally replace the term "smart" wi

What's the end game here? A future ruled by 400 year old Zuckerbergs and other multi-trillionaires? Much of the progress in society is possible only because previous generations eventually die off. What happens when that's no lo

That privacy policy tells me absolutely nothing about the data your service collects from the people who use it, and very little about anything else either for that matter. It's also incomplete. No offense, but it honestly looks like

Your company doesn't appear to have a privacy policy or anything similar on the website, assuming that site is at dnslearning.org. How are you monetizing this? What kind of data are you collecting, and what are you doing with it?

I'd rather see this implemented in a way that didn't involve a third party collecting data about children.

by 659087 9y ago
It's a cash grab, just like 99% of the rest of the ICOs out there. They know there are lots of poorly informed, greedy greater fools trampling each other to give their money away right now, and plan to take full advantage of it.

I've always seen those companies as the commercial wing of the NSA/CIA. I view them as one and the same.
