Hal will be missed. At least until we figure out cryoresuscitation.

 

I just noticed (via James Clement) the Forbes story about him from earlier this year, which contains some nice sentiments:

Anders and you other guys from a long time ago, remember Hal posting stuff about the Bitcoin concept back in the 1990s?  Those were fun exciting times.  I have missed that for a while, but in the last couple years I get the unexplainable feeling that another wave of anticipation of new cool fun stuff is about to crash upon us.  I don’t even have a specific example of what I mean, but it just feels like the early days of the internet, when a lot of us were discovering all the cool uses and new possibilities.

 

Anders your effective philanthropy conference really lit up those feelings.
