You know the best part about living right now? I live in the mutha-flippin' future.

Re: Bitcoin about to rise dramatically due to the JLI (Jennifer Lawrence Indicator)
You can't honestly believe that trends in JLaw translate to Bitcoin?
that'd still be at the bottom of the list of unbelievable beliefs.
Re: Bitcoin Core Developer says Bitcoin Too Fragile and in its Infancy
Mike Hearn is also the guy that is proposing to build blacklisting into Tor, as well as reduce the fungibility of Bitcoin with built in taint tracking and rejection.
What is wrong with a tor node wanting to block something going through their computer and network? It is their connection you're using and are under no obligation to forward any traffic to you in the first place while they risk themselves, and you're still free to use a different node.
Keep in mind that's only possible due to a flaw in Tor. The Tor devs are fixing that flaw, and mike posted on their mailing list telling them not to fix it, because he wanted it used for blacklisting. If you don't like Tor's anti-censorship ethics, I suggest you don't contribute to it at all. Equally if you do, then your "property rights" include the right to choosing to use a system where no-one has the ability to censor.
Either that or "only the black market matters", one of those two possibilities...
If the public doesn't participate in black markets, then who does?
I think in this context "the public" implies mainstream adoption, no?
Yes, that's what makes it ridiculous.
To rephrase the headline "Bitcoin's popularity depends on its popularity"
Interesting. It's good to see Coinbase setting the standard here. Of course, employee infidelity and hacking are just two ways that bitcoins could disappear.
What about physical theft? Summary says that the insurance covers losses due to physical security breach, so presumably physical theft is covered. Missed that in the summary.
What about natural disasters, fire, flood, etc.?
What about kidnap/ransom/extortion of employees?
What about lawful confiscation (usually not covered by policies)?
What are the actual limits of the policy?
Are the limits on a per-account basis (like the FDIC), per occurrence basis, or per policy period?
Was the policy designed to cover the type of hacking that allegedly occurred with Mt. Gox?

Setting the standard for what, deception? 97% of deposits are offline and therefore uninsured.
Exactly - cold storage is not insured. I am not impressed at all.
Re: A service that sends you a text message when there is big Bitcoin news?
Would you pay a modest fee (say $5 a month) for a service like this that sends text and/or email alerts with important information, including the ability to monitor specific address(es)?
Whenever you respond to a request for a product or service and ask if the requester would be willing to pay for said product or service, the answer is almost always "no".

Here's a good discussion http://www.ted.com/talks/david_bismark_e_voting_without_fraud
Thee "receipt" might actually contribute in developing countries to voter pressure. Imagine a wife in Pakistan voting for a party which her husband does not approve off, and then the husband tells his wife to check with the receipt for whom she has voted. Family-based voting might become a lot more prevalent.
Armory with an m-of-n backup with dedicated separate cold wallet and hot wallet computers. Distribute the m-of-n backups geographically and among a couple different safe deposit boxes. In your will write clear instructions on how to recover the coins with the backups. This is the safest way to store coins imo.
What would you need a hot wallet computer for? Other than that, this is a great method.
