I do cybersecurity in Milwaukee =) lots of friends here.

Thanks, threw my hat in for the head of compliance role :P

Would you fail again?

I don't know. I recently sold my second startup. So I'd say that was not a failure.

But that doesn't guarantee all the future ventures will be a success.

What was the second one? Just curious what you adapted to make that work.

It was called Carrom (https://money.yahoo.com/oyster-acquires-carrom-accelerate-gl... )

I have not repeated any of those mistakes I mentioned in the post. I think that itself was enough to take us to a good place. Apart from that it was good timing, a lot of luck and market I knew down under.

Another thing was consistency - we also had lot of ups and down, in fact we stopped operations at some point. But kept going to come out of it. Consistency was the most important thing there.

A game from my youth :) I'm glad you kept going.

I think the faith and spirit examples are a low blow. No one can explain why any of us are here. The other examples are dead on.

I have diabetes, what do I smell like?

Roughly: rotten apples.

(Not sure if you spoil the barrel or not though.)

It’s a bit harsh to say rotten apples. In my view the smell is subtly saccharine and reminiscent of fermentation,... with maybe a hint of applesauce.

/yawn ... buys more

OP here. I too took this as a buying opportunity. $400 interestingly was a low hit around April as well. There's no rhyme nor reason to my buying other than an intuition about what "low" may mean. For me its a long term hold. If the price fell to $350 I would still hold. In fact if the price fell to $200 I would probably hold unless the whole Bitcoin system was somehow compromised and it was obviously going to $0...

That's my biggest problem with bitcoin. If someone figures out how to reverse sha256 they could just mine blocks here and there without attracting too much attention, but in reality the whole thing would be on shaky ground and truly worthless.

You should try to reverse sha256. If you can do it ill give you $100.

I am trying. There has probably never been a prize this large for solving any math or programming problem.

Is this /r/Bitcoin or HN? The audience (and IQ) here is quite different.

weird this article came out after buying pre-nov2013 kits off ebay so we can see our health information....last night my wife and I just spit into our 23andme kits and we shipped it out this morning. Wish me luck on the truth! :)

Here's hoping you're not related!

*not closely related

What's the difference between the 2013 kits and today's?

Edit: Answered my own question. http://blog.23andme.com/news/23andme-provides-an-update-rega...

That's a great idea. I didn't know older kits were for sale. I'm 10x more interested in the health information than my ancestry!

Also note that if you are not able to get such a kit (or even if you are) you can download the raw text file from 23AndMe and run it through Promethease from SNPedia. It is not nearly as clean and curated as 23AndMe but it's still interesting.

Thanks, yeah, that's pretty cool. I just watched a Youtube video on how to export raw data from 23AndMe and search for things on SNPedia. As long as 23andMe keeps the export option around I won't be spending a lot more for a kit from ebay. :D

https://promethease.com can tell you health information

Are those any different?

do you have a link to that analysis?

It was on my old blog which is no longer online. I'll see if I can find the article in my backups and post it somewhere. I should probably do the analysis again since my original test was during the end of the housing bubble when prices were unstable.
