Richard Feynman on the Nobel prize when the interviewer asks him if his research was worth the Nobel prize that he won: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZF4vBreqmE

Feynman is splendid, like always. For my understanding, his reasoning is much clearer and less artificially complex than Sartres.

Thanks for posting this.

Sarte's reasoning is pretty simple: he doesn't want to become a component of an institution. He wants to be able to write as Jean-Paul Sartre, not Jean-Paul Sartre the Nobel Prize winner.

That thinking is flawed though. A prize doesn't define you by accepting it. When I am given a birthday cake, I don't then become "heuving, the receiver of birthday cakes".

The only reason that really makes sense to decline a prize is if you are heavily opposed to what the institution represents. However, he didn't strike me as anti-intellectual.

Here in the Netherlands the University of Tilburg has a .edu: http://www.tilburguniversity.edu/

The website having an .edu is one thing, but that doesn't give you a usable .edu email address.

I just registered with my @tilburguniversity.edu address but sadly I don't see any indication that it's on the list.

Hushmail is NOT secure or private [1] . The sentence "even an employee with access to their servers can’t get the actual data of the email" is false. Do not use.

Edit: Adblock Plus allows certain "acceptable ads" (read: companies pay Adblock Plus to get whitelisted) and this feature is turn on by default. Use the fork Adblock Edge [2]

I also use Zim.

The nice thing is that Zim uses plain .txt files without the need of a database. So you can also view and edit your notes/pages using any text editor instead of Zim itself. Making backups is also very easy this way.

I keep these text files in sync across my devices using owncloud. That way I can also use it on my smartphone by just viewing the plain text. No extra apps necessary.

Here is a video demonstration of the in-game purchase using the Kryptokit extension [1] in Google Chrome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmN7UtXFRIU

Really shows the simplicity and speed which is great for these type of microtransactions.

Use a cloudservice to sync the database file of Keepass. I use ownCloud for this. Then have the KeepassX portable version on a USB stick or just download it from any computer connected to the internet.

Open-source and self-hosted (when using owncloud). Works for me!

I'm afraid your logo is not allowed by Twitter: "Do not modify or alter the marks or use them in a confusing way, including suggesting sponsorship or endorsement by Twitter, or in a way that confuses Twitter with another brand." See https://about.twitter.com/press/brand-assets

I'd change it if I were you! Otherwise, very simple and usable service. https://www.pikapay.com/ would be a competitor.

Ahhhhh, but it worked so perfectly!

Oh well, thanks for the heads up :)

I am getting tired of all this dogecoin hype. This altcoin is not innovative, does not solve a problem that bitcoin has and was in fact created to mock all the altcoins. Yes it's funny (for the first 5 minutes) but tell me the added value? You think it's good for tipping because it's almost worthless?

The beauty of bitcoin is that you CAN type out long decimals. The beauty is that you can USE bitcoin to pay for goods and services. Bitcoin was like Dogecoin 5 years ago, why are you trying to repeat this proces?

If you look at the site of Tippercoin, you see that it is also possible to send for example a beer ($4) in bitcoin. Seems pretty easy to type, not?

The way I see it is that most of the altcoins are created by and for people who think they have missed the Bitcoin-boat and are stuck with their old mining hardware. Hoping that their altcoin will take off, by pumping and hyping it everywhere including Hacker News, so they can make some easy money.

Not really. People like dogs and people like large nominal amounts. It's not rocket science.

Dogecoin is the small man's answer to banks to shove it, think about it.

And Bitcoin isn't? And what stops banks from entering, like some (say that they) are planning to do with bitcoin?

Yeah, but Bitcoin is the seasoned second-time founder taking on the banks, Dogecoin is the young 21y old kid giving them the middle finger.

It's fun to see bitcoiners get mad about it.

It's all about connecting the dots. They want to gather as much information as possible and try to get a better picture of what each individual thinks, does and his/her social ties. The forums are just a piece of the puzzle.
