Re:Gmail.com redesign leaks, looks pretty incredible on Thursday April 12, 2018 @05:17PM (#16825024)
From the article: "Thankfully, one of Google's most popular productivity apps is not turning into a whitespace-infused nightmare hellscape (like say, Google Inbox). The layout is mostly the same as the existing Gmail.com, and, just like today, there are three information density settings to choose from. The new Gmail really does seem fine on the whitespace front."

Great to know!

Re:Bitcoin Mining Now Consuming More Electricity Than Many Countries on Wednesday November 22, 2017 @06:57PM (#15761745)
> The energy here is wasted because Bitcoin does almost nothing of value.

You can also argue that mining gold is a waste of resources because gold does almost nothing of value.

> Yes, there are other uses for Bitcoin. They are miniscule in comparison to its use as an investment product.

What about gold? Aren't its uses minuscule in comparision to its speculative investment value?

The point is: The market decides. One can argue that Bitcoin characteristics (encrypted, pseudo-anonymous, open source, decentralized, global, scalable, deflationary, stateless, etc.) justify its speculative price.

Reminds me of the Sequoia "RIP: Good Times" and all the "tech bubble warning" articles in 2008.

Re:Wikileaks releases CIA's Marble: Malware obfuscation tools on Friday March 31, 2017 @03:40PM (#14007392)
If someone sends real leaks to Wikileaks and they don't publish, then the leakers can use alternative channels to distribute the leaks (for example, sending directly to journalists), and then accuse Wikileaks of not publishing. Has anyone already accused Wikileaks of not publishing real leaks?
Re:Show HN: Nweets – Keep up with technology news in twenty tweets on Thursday September 08, 2016 @04:50PM (#12457181)
Yup. We are using embedded tweets to display news. We may add a fallback solution to display the tweets content in the future.

Re:Moving Forward on Basic Income on Tuesday May 31, 2016 @05:23PM (#11810378)
Pay daily instead of monthly. This way it is harder to "blow all their money" and not being able to afford food. Or a hybrid approach: 50% of the monthly income upfront and the other 50% distributed daily.
Re:Show HN: Multi New Tab for Chrome – Your favorite sites on new tab ... on Saturday May 07, 2016 @09:28AM (#11649506)
Hi there! Multi is a unique way to get your favorite sites on your Chrome new tab. Enter a list of your favorite sites, and with each new tab Multi will open a random site from your list. It works great with community sites like Reddit, Product Hunt, Hacker News, Designer News, or any other sites you visit frequently.
Re:Show HN: Morning Reader – A simple way to read the news on Wednesday November 19, 2014 @02:16PM (#8632007)
We're thinking about doing at least daily digests – with the top x stories of the last 24 hours – for each topic, via email and/or RSS. Thanks for your suggestion!
Re:Show HN: Morning Reader – A simple way to read the news on Wednesday November 19, 2014 @02:09PM (#8631963)
Not sure yet, but we may do something in that direction in the future.

> The quality of the curation, at least for my taste and at least at this moment, is exceptional. Maybe the best algorithmic curation I've seen.

Glad you liked it, thanks!

> There are many algorithmically curated news feeds; why add another? Is it because you believe your algorithm is a leap forward? Elsewhere you say it's mostly the same one used by HN.

There are many attempts at "personalized news". Also some niche "community curated" news (influenced by HN and Reddit). And some mostly algorithmic, like the new Digg and Techmeme. We fit on this third group, and are just experimenting to see what we can come up with quality wise.
