As HN becomes more popular and mainstream, how do hackers feel about having more non-hackers on the site - favorable because it provides an opportunity to teach or irritating because it changes the dynamics and intent?
i understand the basics of Bitcoin (purely digital virtual coins with no middle man for exchange) but can someone explain some of the details like why only 21M cap and what mining vs buying entails (eg can anyone with right hardware mine?). Also what roll do the exchanges play and is there compatibility between different currencies on the Bitcoin protocol? Would love a simple primer on some of the nuances.
I came across an interesting article about how to better understand how much users are using your app (http://recode.net/2015/01/13/theres-an-app-for-that-but-how-much-are-you-actually-using-it/) but wanted to see what types of apps are getting daily usage from people.
Mine are: Gmail, Day One, Twitter, Starbucks and Dropcam.
I've heard mixed opinions on whether growth hacking is considered a legitimate endeavor or is a superficial exercise. The tactics seem logical (eg. publish content or create sharing mechanisms) but wanted to see what others thought on the topic.
