I bought a Goruck GR2 (40L capacity) in 2013 and cumulatively lived out of it for ~4 years. It's been with me up every mountain I've climbed, on 3 continents, on my back as I rode a motorcycle through a snowstorm. I've slept

Hey, thanks for the rabbit hole :)

This thread is a brilliant example of CTR-centric articles, because you're right, why would I click that?

It's remarkable how quickly our vehicles and roads succumb to such conditions. I used to drive that route on I95, and in the winter I would always pack a blanket and bottled water. I can only imagine having children with me. From an in

Hmm... isn't consensus the inherent ethos of blockchain?

From the abstract of an article in vol. 6 (most recent): > We show that, contrary to the usual implications of network effects, they do not serve to concentrate the cryptocurrency market, nor do they accord any one cryptocurrency a defin

I enjoyed reading this article (I needed to read this!) even though I’m already familiar with these bullet points. :)

The same pattern described in the article should be applicable to any time sink. Also, there’s several great threads here mentioning HN explicitly. Occasionally, I’ll use HN to break past writer’s block. I’ve noticed that if I can find an i

This reads like an obligatory post on the topic with no real substance. I’m on mobile so it’s a good opportunity to succinctly express what I view as the major, near-future positives for Web3: - identity and trustless SSO via things like EN

Wow, thanks for the recommendation, I've added it to my reading list!

Others in this thread mentioned similar patterns of acquiring and selling virtual assets. PayPal was a common money transfer platform and eBay was a common marketplace (before they banned the sale of digital items). I stopped using PayPal f

Surprised to see you're downvoted. I found this intriguing, and mirrors many of my experiences with the logistics of selling virtual goods.

I agree with you ideologically but challenge this statement: > [that] gameplay should never have been in the game How many millions of hours of 'pointless' content are uploaded weekly that people watch? No one is forced to play

This is an inspiring series of writing. After reading the intro, I expected to read the first and last post as suggested by the author for 'impatient' people like me. However, after reading the first post, I'm wondering, shou

Delightful, I very nearly stopped my stream of consciousness to check the numbers, I wondered if anyone else would. It seems many of us share nostalgia around RS.

That sounds great. I'll create a DAO to collect funds so we can create this game. What should we call it? How about Recursion?

In the late 2000s, as a teenager, I was gifted a Runescape account. This account had level 80+ woodcutting, allowing one to chop magic trees - which would produce the most expensive lumber in the game. It took a staggering number of real ho

I've been attempting to solve this as well. I think stress is particularly difficult to measure as a simple number, as there are multiple forms of stress. For me, I've noticed urgency (stress on time), difficulty (stress on cognit

I spent much of my life without money, and I was altogether fairly satisfied and curious. I would often wonder, will I feel the same forms of loneliness, inadequacy, aimlessness, when I have money, as I do now without it? Yes, I have. Emoti

A few days without it, and I bet you'll find it pretty integral.

Wow, that's quite a long time. Why did you begin? Are you remorseful you can't find your lists? Did you transition to electronic formats as technology progressed?

Incredible. My favorite line is the last: "they're both tools that do nothing more than show me the results of my own decisions." I've unsuccessfully attempted various implementations of life logging for years and I wo

I cite ENS (ens.domains) as one of the bedrock technologies in this next cycle. Identity is the biggest flaw in our current social media / search engine / information discovery paradigm. In the next two weeks, I'll have my PG

Really have to challenge this comment. "We're early" in the internet had the dotcom bubble, the development of mobile 3G infrastructure and devices, the advent of smartphones, the VC-fueled app craze, and then eventually, now

I love this. What a great way to show, not tell. The FAQ is brilliant: "Why would I want to create a replica?" Many NFTs have [rocket emoji] in price and are not affordable for most people. This allows you to still own a re
