Why? The market is dumb (in a technical sense). The state is constantly monitoring and adjusting. It’s like saying you trust a car with a brick on the accelerator over a self drive Tesla. Sure the Tesla makes mistakes and kills someone ever

Oh come on. Bitcoin uses the same amount of energy that the country of Iraq [1] uses, home to 38 million people. Bitcoin has about 500k active bitcoin addresses [2], most of which contain less than $100 [3]. So what are we actually getting

You have a single point of failure and a linux box (and CMS?) that needs to be constantly patched - how is that in any way comparable to the simplicity and scalability of dropping files onto an S3 bucket?

My first impressions of the real world examples page was that this could hardly be called modern - it looks like UI design from the 90s. I am sure the modern part relates to the best practices and flexbox usage, but I think you may struggle

How many people do you know with savings in physical gold? How big do you think the consumer market is for that? The major holders of gold bullion are banks and governments – they are not going to pile in to a pyramid scheme style system w

You are a level too high in the stack - what is happening behind the scenes when you execute any of those?

18 months of severance? Like, their monthly wage x 18, to let them go? What startup could possibly afford that?

Does anyone else get a "webpage screenshot - this extension has been automatically disabled" pop up every time they start chrome on OSX? I get that it's now spyware, but just remove the extension already, not just disabling i

One of the first mentions* I saw on HN about the elusive 10xer was an article about the exact types of gains the author of this article is talking about -- a 10xer knows where to apply their effort and as such is an order of magnitude faste

In the undergrad university scene that is being discussed I'm having a hard time visualising what "direct networking" would look like. However, I can confidently say there's a big difference in the bond formed between tw

We liked the idea of making our own verb, always nice to have if it catches on! We've experimented with a few different concepts in integrating social media, but it doesn't feel right using social media as a primary source -- the

We've been working on it for two years and have invested a lot of time recording our own trips on it, so it's not going anywhere! If we do monetise it, it will be around selling products (like postcards, or travel gear we really l

I agree - everything in the travel space is crap. Whether it's because it's hard to monetize, or because there's no archetypal traveler making it hard to cater to any particular audience ... I don't know. It's a tou

My first reaction was that the author is so blusteringly excited to be British that he has failed to make an objective assessment. After watching the video, I see he's also a presenter and comedian, so perhaps this is to be expected. I
