Can we just call this "Web3Candidate" & stop allowing few groups to hijack the term 'web3' before there is consensus and wide adoption. Because when this craze dies and a real replacement of web2 arrives we will have

In a social gathering, the most common shared interest between us is what dictates the discussions. So larger the group, lamer/dumber the discussions are going to be unless it's a forum where like-minded people gather. I personal

Same for me. I had J&J and now moderna booster. Other than mild body pain and tiredness, booster was pretty smooth. Maybe because it's a half dosage

On top of what others have already flagged this is a big no for any companies security & compliance. Why would any company share their private codebase ?

Centralization is a human nature. Internet is already decentralized but we still tend to congregate in common space. Even with web3, organizations like polkadot are creating a centralized space around them. So I doubt we will ever achieve t

I'm a better beginner than an expert at anything I do. I mainly attribute this to the excitement around learning and the rate of returns I'm the initial part of the learning journey.

Before covid I would count all of my 8 hours/day as work hours whereas now with work from home my actual coding+meetings work is around 14 hours/week but my productivity has improved significantly. And that is because now I code w

Next steps would be that they create another decentralized smart legal judiciary system to enforce and handle breach of smart contracts. And a supreme chain with Elon & Chamath on the bench.

Exactly, the whole web3 blockchain movement seems to assume these contracts are legally binding in real world. For that to happen the same 'untrustworthy' government authority will have to trust the decentralized contracts on inte

End users don't care about government trust or privacy as much as we would want them too. Had it been the case Signal would have already replaced Whatsapp. Unless Blockchain based product solves a real problem it would be hard to see l

Who do you prefer to share your personal data with? A friend or a large tech. No more gossips or sleeping with your friends partner

Web3 is all about not trusting big tech corps but trusting few hustlers, TikTok influencers, NFT enthusiasts who seem to have users best interest and know all about the tech.

Web2 adoption was organic, driven by programmers and it definitely made the end user experience much better. With web3 we are jumping ahead of what it will be before even there has been consensus on it. For now it's an idea with possib

Say whatever was the motive but the meta branding change is the only one that has stuck for me. Of course I don't call Facebook as meta but I'm looking forward to what mark does or not on meta(verse).

I would monetize the reach of a post if i were Twitter CEO. Today leaders politicians, celebrities, corps etc have such a wider reach through Twitter due to their following, so Twitter can set a default max threshold on the how many audienc

I use Twitter is to get the latest pulse in real time for any event (news story, episode). I hope they retain that. Problem with highly curated feeds like FB, LinkedIn is that it doesn't give you the the current snapshot and hence I do

In Hawaii, there was a direct correlation to covid cases and travel bans i.e. allowing only covid -ve tested travelers. State has also seen no increase in covid cases once they allowed fully vaccinated travelers. So yeah lockdown works. And

In Hawaii at least the home insurance companies have products for long term and short term rentals based on the homeownership. As a host I also have additional a liability and umbrella insurance. There is also some coverage from my property

This thread looks very sus. The way few accounts are defending apple and accusing the employee raises more eyebrows on apple.

I'm working on a (not so instant) messaging app to help friends stay connected. Most of us use some form of instant messaging apps like whatsapp, FaceTime, snapchat to be in touch with our close friends/family inner circle. But it

I was thinking about this very similar concept few years back. The idea was to prevent only the top 1% content surfacing all the time. My solution was to cap the number of likes/upvotes to some value like 10k.

All unions end up being political. The elected union leaders are voted and the democratic process compels the leaders take decision that helps them stay in power. This is what causes the problem where you have elected union leader whose val
