What is your long-term approach to growing your businesses? Feel free to share what you've learned about customer acquisition for micro-startups. Sure people would find that knowledge VERY valuable - and nice work dude. You're suc

BTW: I see people being confused about what web3 even means. If I had to define it I'd say its the group of technologies and infrastructure that support 'decentralized applications.' The term probably comes from Ethereum wher

The name 'web3' has almost nothing to do with the world-wide web. The problem-space is focused on managing trust relationships (heavy focus on financial contracts but trust is so generic it extends to far more uses.) You can focus

This is pseudo-science garbage. People with ADHD have an imbalance in the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in their brain (along with hyper efficient mop-up of dopamine and other abnormalities with norepinephrine.) You can't just

I worked at a company that was using these chips to control doors. They're extremely cheap chips, but writing code for them is not pleasant. Documentation is lacking and the tools people use to write code for it suck. Props to the devs

Fully working? Except for having to go through lawyers, realtors, shitty archaic databases (for 'conveyancing' if such records even exist), and proprietary opaque real estate systems (that often don't even show if a house can

This is how I feel whenever I read a 'blockchain is scam.. is broken.. is a fraud' article. Everyone wants to put their 2 cents in and jump on the criticism train to seem like le technical experts. Over reading the same fallacious

Doesn't this just make on-boarding users even more convoluted? You'll have to probably get a large amount of Ether and then 'commit' it to another L2 to receive whatever their backed token equivalent is. Then you'll

I find this completely boring and un-newsworthy.

This would be much better as a collection of sharable playlists. Not text titles...

Whatever feature this is for its too subtle to notice. I would have never noticed the difference without you pointing it out.

Well, everyone has their own bank account. There's a lot of potential there to just transact directly. You would have to design the deposit layer to be someone efficient though so traders can still use credit. But I think its possible.

Just another day for Bitcoin exchanges. The sad thing is the technology exists for fully decentralized exchanges (and has for a while.) There are actually multiple 'smart contracts' that allow money to move directly between peers

You can say this about anything that uses lots of electricity. Sure, removing it solves the immediate 'problem' but its also not any more practical than having everyone walk everywhere solves the immediate carbon impact of driving

There's a news cycle to the blockchain that everyone wants to be a part of to appear smart whether they know anything about a topic or not. Notice how the majority of critics never talk about any deep use-cases for the technology and i

I feel like when it comes to remote work the great divider will be 'cost of living' versus attained wages (and not 'talent.') As in: suppose I live in India where the cost of living is low. Due to wage arbitrage I can sa

I work for a small financial company called Cypher.trade (building out a futures platform on Solana) and I really like working there. Everyone in the team is amazingly skilled and management is hands-off but detailed enough for you to know

If this is the same SS7 protocol flaw that security experts have been using to justifiably avoid SMS in 2-factor auth schemes forever now it's face palm inducing. Not that this sounds like a simple hack if they also compromised inboxes

A bitch to use on just about every language in existence. The issue is having code that links to this breaks cross platform support -- especially in interpreted languages. Just a few days ago I had to try find a library for Rust that did fi

Really interesting and radical idea. Having content specifically for a black audience seems so controversial at first but could be a great way to include black people more in pop culture. I think there is definitely demand for this: both fr

Wow, if you try this page with dark reader the colors pop even more. Especially the ones at the bottom. Nice idea to bring back more of the creativity in the web, btw. I wish you luck with the project.

The problem I see is that everyone in tech seems to think they're an expert on cryptocurrencies while simultaneously being at the ignorant end of the Dunning–Kruger effect (and failing basic statistics.) Cryptocurrency makes it easy to

Honestly, I always found precedence rules horribly ambiguous. I just use brackets for clarity and forget about it. Or is this considered 'bad practice'?

Hello Hacker News, I'm sharing some work I've been doing as a side project. It's an algorithm that attempts to do the impossible -- compress random data. My results seem to indicate that I've succeeded at this task -- bu

First we must ask the question: how can we demoralize people the most effectively? An obvious place to start is to just ignore all their prior work. Since we're starting from scratch we need a baseline to gather where their technical s

Unfortunately, exchanges like Coinbase still ironically help prevent more attacks when it comes to asset pricing (decentralized match making is ah... not that secure or sane.) Potentially you could build something like the equivalent of Tra
