Honestly, most of us are on Twitter right now, that's the best place to see discussions at the moment. I try to optimize for higher signal rather than hype, feel free to look at who I follow and build out from there: https:/&#x2F

Say what you will about Mark, no informed person could claim with a straight face that he's not one of the savviest business-people in history.

For the 1000th time, a total of 0 (zero) VCs that most people would associate with "silicon valley" invested in Theranos, and the board was all made up of political and business figures like Kissinger.

I highly doubt any noticeable percentage of Uber/Lyft's user base factors in climate change in the purchase decision. It's about convenience.

You can't trade those goods in-between games though. Valve gets to say how you can use it.

If you let people import their stuff, it's an excellent way to bootstrap a player base, which is the hardest part of game development by far.

I don't see why NFT game devs should care about this to be honest. We shouldn't be putting decentralized games on one of the most centralized platforms in history. Love Steam, but you can do your own distribution pretty easily the

Echoing the other comments, this is a pretty naive understanding of how a general purpose smart contract blockchain works and the incentive models involved that keep the kind of censorship described here from happening. They also don't

I feel like a lot of people take it as obvious that ranked-choice is just better. I have an alternate take: We just went through a simple first-past-the-post election in the US that a significant percentage of voters believe was rigged. Thi

Congrats to the Unlock team! They’re super sharp and dedicated builders, excited to see where they take this going forward.

I think you are mistaking gas fee for take rate here... Gas fees go to the miners, not OpenSea. The OpenSea take rate is a separate thing.

I see these at literally every restaurant I go to these days, in the US and even in remote places like Iceland. This makes sense to me.

Wow, this is huge! We'll see how this holds up, but definitely seems like a turning point. The effect of this order seems to be Apple can't prevent apps from telling customers about alternative in-app purchasing methods, which is

I'm guessing the videos Mark Zuckerberg posted on his FB page yesterday were taken by these glasses. If so, they take pretty nice quality video.

idk why this is downvoted, this is the correct answer. What the OP mentioned is called Rollups, which is the popular solution on Ethereum and other smart contract chains, not Bitcoin.

It very much can, because these protocols can do the same things the traditional equivalents can (trading, lending, etc.) fully-automated with smart contracts. When you don't have to pay a ton of salaries to push paper around, you can

> We can't know what would have happened without Jobs, but it seems fair to say that much of the global-scale stuff would have, though perhaps not Apple itself. I believe there's a logical fallacy that described this thinking.

It's wild to me the top comments on HN are still "crypto has no actual use case," despite the literal billions of actual dollars ($) being transacted every day through projects like Uniswap, Axie Inifinity (a video game), a

Gusto, Rippling, Deel etc. provide PEO services now, which are basically corporations that will "hire" the remote employee for you and deal with benefits and such, and you pay them through that corporation. Seems to be the easiest

The only way you are going to "ban" cryptocurrencies is if you shut down the internet, and even that doesn't really go all the way, so good luck with that...

I like how the first example of "bringing your desktop applications to the browser" is Figma, which is already a web app that just runs in Electron. Very trippy lol Nice launch, congrats!

That’s kind of like saying “the Nokia brick phone has been around forever, if it hasn’t discovered a killer app, when will it?” Bitcoin was just the first blockchain to really find adoption, it’s nowhere near where 99% of the innovation in
