I've been talking about this for years with friends. I bet on Singapore. (I lived there 2.5 years and know the place a bit).

This is a HARD thing to cope with.
I've been through it once, and I lost much sleep over many nights just because of it. Especially the first time, you have NO idea on how to deal with it. I can …

One day the interface will be on our retina. The form factor will no longer be relevant.

Surprised that this one didn't get any comment so far.
This is 100% contrary to popular belief. Another point that often surprises people is that most of violence occurs in the family, perpetrate…

I disagree - consider real estate agents: the buyer's and the seller's take home a total of 6% of the purchase price. If you were an agent, would you settle for, say, 300k, and take your 9k …

Wow, this is really great. From the creator of Wireshark, nonetheless :)

Correct, that was the initial assumption.

Yes. 100% agree.

Hi Patrick. I think you should either give some guidelines, or ask for explicit suggestions about it. Great move, by the way. Happy to buy you a coffee and chat about it next time I see you in the Mis…

Great point. Read http://ryancarson.com/ for a very different point of view.

Evil, but smart idea. :)

OpenTransactions (by Monetas) is trying to solve this problem at the root.
comment
Good point. Luckily, if you use an exchange, they should have sorted it out for you already.

I'm sure you enjoy Rome. Beautiful city. I am from Italy, but I live in San Francisco.

Very nice of you.

An international tax lawyer who knows what an AMA is? I love you already.

Exactly true.

The Austin program has a great star: Jason Seats. I used to mentor for him at TechStars San Antonio, and I liked him so much that when he moved to Austin, I decided to mentor for him there. Amazing gu…

Paul, YC is a very notable exception. You are on a league of your own, and the article acknowledges that. I also happen to agree. :)

Unfortunately, it would be relatively easy for anyone to find that transaction, even if he didn't want to disclose it. Don't look for Satoshi's wallet, look for the shopper's.

I had the same experience (went to Sri Lanka for ten days). It was great. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make meditation a habit.
