I experienced this in London after being mugged. I had to walk a long way to a police station because every person I asked for assistance refused to either lend me their phone or to phone the police themselves.

The Nxt sourcecode is really terribly written, which is a shame.

Both very good points. To the first though, I imagine you could sign away your rights to post-treatment legal action beforehand.

I would argue that as a terminal patient, I certainly would not want to be part of the control group taking a placebo or no treatment at all, and that the scientific method could still be applied later when you still have a lot of people

Well in this case it's obviously different. I'm talking about actions that have consequences for the dying individual only.

I am curious about the timescale of treatments for terminal diseases, and how trials can be morally randomised. It seems to me that a very high percentage of people would opt for a potentially fatal, completely untested course of action as

Absolutely this. You can also use a tool like Gitstats (if you don't use Github) to track your progress. A lot of my code is written inside thirty minutes on the bus and tube on the way to work. Sometimes you might feel like there&#x27

Clever. So they get lots of great app ideas, pick the 4th or 5th best idea as the winner, build it, and then get to work on the actual best idea submitted for themselves.

Is this Hacker News? Or America News?

Proof-of-stake attempts better enforcement of decentralisation, but I think the various implementations are pretty immature.

The pool operators could launch 'double spend' attacks. Essentially with > 50% of the hashing power, a bad operator is able to generate a chain faster than the rest of the network. They can hold back this longer chain in secret

I think Proof of Stake sounds promising, but I am personally struggling to come to grips with the concepts. I spent a little while reading through Peercoin's whitepaper and plenty of time trawling the Nxtcoin forums for a decent explan

We consume too much and we work too hard to fill our lives with vacuous material goods. Look around you, it's pure madness. It's out of control, everybody is permanently dissatisfied and we continue to rape the planet to fill a ho

Greener than digging up precious metals to melt into blocks to be buried again in safes.

Spend when you need or really want something. Maybe the rampant consumerism associated with an inflationary currency is actually wasteful and destructive to the planet.

Nice photos but it also highlights how claustrophobic London is. I live here and don't like how you can never be really alone outside of your own home.

That's not really true, a lot of us more sensible people want to 'cash out' a little slowly as the price goes up, and what better way to cash out than actually spending the bitcoin on an actual product and supporting the econ

openssl aes-256-cbc -a -salt -in privateKey.txt -out privateKey.aes It's that simple to do cold storage. Do it from an offline live CD boot, save the file to USB, and print it on a piece of paper just to be safe. So much confusion aro

Objective-C class visualisation: http://notes.darkfunction.com/DFGrok It's good for code reviewing changed classes, or getting a structural overview.

The first comment on the article is by Jason Schuller, who created a great little open source blogging platform called Dropplets ( http://dropplets.com/ ). I use it myself and it's fantastic. Simple and elegant and I fee

I love yUML, and implemented a tool to generate yUML code from objective-c. https://github.com/darkFunction/DFGrok

yUML ( http://yuml.me ) is brilliant for quickly putting together simple, nice looking diagrams. It's based on Graphviz and doesn't require graphical tools, just a basic text language, so you can throw together someth
