I went from Seventy Two to Sisty Four (sic) karma points all because of this stupid chapel. Get over your religious nostalgia and get back to real tech news... Thanks.

That hardly obfuscates the fact that people WERE mass murdered in the name of religion.

There's nothing technically novel about this. It's also kind of offensive given the mass genocide committed in the name of religion. Hacker News turning to Christian News.

nature and nurture... you can't dismiss either. one is your genetic wiring (hardware) and the other is your indelible early childhood experience (firmware) ... and then there's your re-programmable self (software) ... His bio father being from that part of the world means his dad's genetic make is probably shared with 14% of Semites (Jews and Arabs of that area), 75% of south east Turks and southern Greeks, and 10% of sub-Saharan Africans. This is by no means an informed analysis of his dad's genetic heritage. Just an educated guess.

It won't let me run it on localhost without a license file. That's silly because it's running inside the browser and the license check can be hacked.

Ah. Is Khosla Ventures related to Vinod Khosla? The same guy who sealed off a popular surfing beach in a small California town and declared it as his own? I always found that to be a terrible reminder of how money, greed and selfishness go hand in hand. Never mind me.

Bitcoin is the idea is money gets its value from scarcity, which is a misconception since money gets its value from the volume of transactions involving goods and services. The only reason the dollar still has any value is because people still use it to buy energy, weapons, food, etc. If people or large buyers/sellers like China decide to stop using the dollar then the dollar will crash...

Again, kudos to Mike & JasonI haven't see any JS library that performs so well when working with transitions (animations) fired in rapid succession on multiple elements with different handlersIn this example, I move the mouse over the map and as I do that I tween the donut either to the state's vote totals or the national total, depending on whether or not the state has any votesIt works...
