Wow.. Some people just think about it. Amazing to see people go through with it.
I guess you were right.
Oh, so how would you describe Israel in a more objective way then?

We are talking about a brief history (60+ years) of massacres and a growing illegal occupation of land here, would you like to phrase that in a more nicer way no to offend "God's chosen people" or what's the problem?

"As of 2013, Israel had been condemned in 45 resolutions by United Nations Human Rights Council since its creation in 2006—the Council had resolved almost more resolutions condemning Israel than on the rest of the world combined."

Yeah.... "praise Israel".

This makes me feel like an idiot.

Ask HN: I have bitcoins in MtGox – So what now?

This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. So for all of us who have bitcoins still at MtGox, what happens if, let's say, MtGox just disappears tomorrow? I mean, are we protected by law at all, or are we just a bunch of digital idiots now? Too bad?

Where do you sell an iOS app?

Where does one sell an iOS app with or without it's relevant company included in the acquisition? I guess you could put it on ebay or something like that, but is there any other channel more specific for this?

As if fiat currency were so much more stable; as if "modern" currencies such as the euro hasn't been a complete fiasco. I don't see your point here, although, it does actually answer the question in some way, at least if you are part of the group of people mentioned in the topic.

Solving a problem: Nope. Doing something I'm already doing, better: Nope

Those are the two first things I think about, but maybe that's just me. I'm not a very social media type of person, also I'm living in Sweden, so I'm probably not part of your main audience here, but I don't see why I should spend my precious time on this, that's all I can say.

Oh, and good luck! :)

A simple precess, one might think, right?The application enrollment has now been stuck at "Review & Submit" for over two months. What. Tha. Fuck.Not only that, but to actually contact this acid dropping corporation of magical visions and product design, seems to be quite impossible. Finding out how and who...
