   Firstly I agree with the posts below talking about actually having human connection. This is the most important thing. I also want to point out that this is actually pretty damn good. I know I was clueless when I first started dating and th

   I worked on some prototypes years ago on android that handled a payment from a contactless bank card on your phone. So in the payments space: - phone as a payment terminal - peer to peer payments I'm sure there's more than that bu

   I'm surprised to see Elon answering questions from the slides that he hasn't seen before the actual meeting. I thought he would be someone who prepares extensively to feel as comfortable as possible in front of an audience. That&#

   Scuttlebutt is the protocol. Scuttlebot is a nodejs library that has implemented the protocol. You can use the scuttlebot library to build peer to peer apps. I looked into it a while back, it seems like a cool technology. Happy to try and a

    Thanks for this. You've articulated how I've felt subconsciously about HN for a while now. HN used to be a place where I could be stimulated intellectually. Today it no longer seems to give me that. Where can I go now to get bette

    How do you define a fact? As far as I understand it symbolic AI back in the 80s was building a massive web of facts or "truths" that would be used to create a general AI. They eventually ended up generating a bunch of contradictio

    Hi mate, fellow Aussie here. I see you're currently living in China. I'm considering a move there in the next few years. Any chance I could ask you a couple of questions over email?

    Great response from Monzo. I live in Scotland and it's amazing the difference companies like monzo have compared to regular banks (see the tesco bank fiasco)

    How much JS do you know? Do you know ES6? Same with python. If you feel you _really_ understand those languages you could learn a statically typed language. Something like Java might be a good next step. Another idea is to learn a Javascrip
