I wasn't focusing on the genesis of these ideas, which frankly have always been around in every technological era, I was talking about how such ideas can persist in the age of limitless information, education, and technology. And my an

This is not my field, but I'm trying to understand crypto-currency econ here so please clue me in: So if the only reason for mining in currency blockchains is the incentive to earn, what would be the incentive for a private blockchain

I guess I can't say for sure independent of the articles I've found which say such at best, and are vague at worst, but it seems the company they are partnering with, Chain[1] is pretty committed to building on top of bitcoin&#x27

Oh my finished/incoming ratio is disgusting. I imagine that if it was important to save at one point, it will remain important in the future when I figure out a way to pipe them all into some AI summarizer and it can teach it to me. I&

There's always a trade-off. A little extra space (which is cheap) for less developer time accounting for all the distro/library/arch combinations. I think it's a very fair trade since space gets cheaper by the year and t

I used to do that and it started to really stress me out! Get into Pocket or Workflowy or something else to sort those for later!

Definitely looks beautiful. But most of the time I see another Linux distro, I feel like the greater linux community is just spreading it's resources thinner and thinner and wasting time on porting/recreating the file manager and

As a Workflowy user, I needed a way to do this and found it in the Colt[1] add-on for firefox. I use the following custom formats to insert tabs and newlines and it produces pretty slick bookmarks in Workflowy's bullet style for me. St

So if they really did pick an "impressive" list, I'm curious what their incentive was for doing so? What is that selection process and who does it? Anyone know?

I think it's a bootstrapping issue. What does one do first when they want an entirely new power ecosystem? I would argue it's wiser to start with the sexy public facing segment on the demand side (awesome looking electric sports c
