He's already set up a wallet to receive donations. Imaginary internet points. Exposure.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you prove a) He doesn't have a copy of the private key? b) He's telling the truth about mining them? c) Actually threw away the drive?

The ability to shut off emails has been pretty easy, in my experience. Other than that, I find quite a bit of value from linkedin.

You can purchase a Cessna 150 for under $15k. And that's not a light sport.

Yet another! Foundation, Bootstrap, 960, unsemantic, etc.

How's their service going to stop a Man-in-the-middle attack, client endpoint exploits? Or the HN effect crippling their marketing servers.
Re:Bootstrap 3 on Monday July 29, 2013 @10:01AM (#6121125)
I used it at my startup, but there's absolutely no reason for me to upgrade to BS3. I think bootstrap is great for giving people a quick framework to build off of, when writing up a grid system doesn't make sense. For our next major release, I think we're going to migrate away from BS entirely. I'd rather control it all in house than play catchup with their releases. For me, it's not even the UI but the ability to control exactly what we're doing.
Re:Ask HN: Where do you host your NodeJS applications? on Sunday July 28, 2013 @08:18AM (#6116461)
I'm going through the exact same transition right now. $20/month is more than the cert itself.

I found using cheerio with request and phantom.js makes anything possible.
