I thought it said proprietary system with the key stored in a US bank? :(

This creates an interesting point of failure. What happens when the private key is stolen or hacked? Because the ETF holders are holding cash with the expectations of assurances and insurances that cash comes with. But uh, that's not h

For the same reason that people lose their damn minds when the word "privilege" comes out. They don't understand the issue, they don't understand what it's like to be on the other end of it. "She should take

No, that's what the people who don't understand what "privilege" is (and ironically react vitriolically to it as the headline questions) project onto others because that's all the more they're able to comprehen

Why would any self respecting blogger interested in owning their own content, brand, identity or control over those ever use any sort of platform like Medium? For one, we know their short lived. For another, just freaking why? I guess if I

I took the references to the "notebook and disks" in the critical section of that interview to be implication of physical disc trading/lending but I understand what you're saying. Still. I mean, this is what they publish

That whole article that you link to is about the Share with 10 Family Members feature, leading me to conclude that "lending" in that sentence is explicitly physical lending and... you know... from the context directly around it,

I mean, when Hangouts finished Voice integration it will do all of that and more. It can already cross conference in VoIP and PTSN users, when they finish GV integration, you'll just text/chat with another Hangouts user and it won

Ha, even people here can't see the value in decentralization and peer-to-peer connection. Startups think "we'll just get enough users on our proprietary network; ???; profit!" and big companies want the lockin. Hangouts

Those details (that I mentioned) were fully disclosed before they changed their policies, obviously. It's not Microsoft's fault that reddit blew up in a circle-jerk of misinformation. Granted, they could have marketed it better an

This is so exceedingly stupid I can't believe it's honestly posted on TechCrunch. Not that there's a ton of rumor for my opinion of TC to fall further, but they'd do themselves a favor to pull this. It's so obvious

Yeah, but what's it matter? Those people buy cheap Android phones. There are several options for up to date Android phones that are either Nexus, I mean, many of them if you're a GSM user. And many more if you want to use AOSP or

"targets in database" doesn't read as "PRISM case numbers" (to me). In fact, it sounds specifically different in order to indicate unique individuals. But who really knows, I guess.

Sounds like they already recouped the cost of the miner. So if power consumption is $100/year, they need to make at least $2/week.

I guess archived RSS data for me isn't terribly important since most people seem to hide the rest of their content behind a "More" link to get those precious ad views.

I don't think most people have any idea how the DRM extensions for HTML5 work, frankly.

Am I a traitor for accepting Netflix (and their DRM) the same way I accept Steam (and their DRM)? Of course, I don't "accept" Netflix because they don't "accept" me as a Linux user, so I'm not really dying
