Consider it validation of your idea and forge ahead. Companies win on execution, not being first.

rather than auto-enrolling in every new service i picture a curated list of current or upcoming launches users can choose from. as far as name squatting, that's kinda the point. on the development side most sign-ups require more than one step (ie "confirm your email") so there'd be some engagement, at least showing interest in the service.

I use Gmail a lot so what works for me is the app Remember The Milk. On the desktop it loads a task list on the right side of the Gmail screen. I put daily tasks there but for meetings I still take the time to enter it in the google calendar

Even with 5 x 62 case sensitive alphanumeric digits, 12 integers is roughly 1000 times more secure

i would but to answer your question, i might wonder if there's a catch. do the items cost any more than if i go direct to amazon.com? (i know the answer is no) but you may want to make that clear. great idea, and a little transparency can go a long way in earning people's trust

no direct experience but i'm betting this is where a good lawyer is worth the expense. preferably one well versed in reading term sheets.

That idea has been postulated, that the cosmological constant changes over large distances (which would affect our view of things over time).also, time itself may be something we interpret but might not play into the math of physics. I forget who wrote it but there was a paper showing the math works out better if you take time out if the equation. Scientific American magazine runs these kinds of stories, might be a good place to start

Re:Celebrate Heroes, not CEOs

Heroes are supposed to be philanthropists but America admires success. Problem is, most people would be shocked to find out the shady dealings that are necessary to build and run a successful business/government/etc. CEOs have to make decisions that would curl your hair if you saw it, but all anyone sees is the resulting success. Its' much easier to imagine the philanthropy than it is to find a successful philanthropist.

Re:An Analysis of Anonymity in the Bitcoin System

The last paragraph sums up the article:
"Technical members of the Bitcoin community have cautioned that strong anonymity is not a prominent design goal
of the Bitcoin system. However, casual users need to be
aware of this, especially when sending Bitcoins to users and
organizations they would prefer not to be publicly associated
with."
I'm interested in knowing theoretical ways to move BTC anonymously
