I love your positive outlook! Coinbase to trade DOGE! Good stuff. Wish they would have the balls to also trade Monero.

You're right that dogecoin value increase is news. Poking at someone who would have been a billionaire if they didn't sell their DOGE is not news it's just mean spirited.

This isn't news. This is just poking at someone who made a choice at the time. They needed a car. Like the guy that spent 10,000 BTC on a pizza. Hindsight is 20/20. Don't be a dick. I had to sell 3 BTC at the recent (2018?) low of 3k. Life happens now. Don't beat yourself up for things only visible in hindsight.

What if they start using the piece sign? Will that then be a hate symbol?

How is Stranger in a Strange Land like The Man Who Fell to Earth?! The plots have almost nothing in common.

What 2 science fiction authors would you recommend? And perhaps a 3rd that is still writing if there are any good ones.

It seems Tesla isn't doing to bad.

Comment Go HO (American Flyer) or O (Lionel) (Score 1) 149
I grew up in Lionel so I've got nostalgia for them. They have a good size, HO and O have a "human" size to them, easy to handle and tinker with.
I wrote a bit about Lionel http://www.sosuke.com/the-hist...
If I started again I would probably go HO, O can take up a lot of space.

Yes, the Internet mob wants to agree on what is just and attack those who are against that. Sony is bad, they do tons of crappy things, but what is happening to Sony Pictures right now is worse. We'll bash Sony another day when they aren't be eviscerated by a group threatening to kill people and still put peace in their name.

On the open source topic see another discussion here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2226260 and this quote by SimonPStevens
They aren't prohibiting "Free Software", they are prohibiting software that is under a license that requires the distributor to pass certain rights along to the recipient. Hence GPL like licenses that require distribution of source code, and that you grant redistribution rights to everyone you distribute it to are being explicitly prohibited. (And in fairness I can see why those licenses would cause problems for Microsoft as distributors) On the other hand BSD like licenses that allow you to repackage and distribute without source and without passing rights forward are acceptable.
