That’s rich, considering that last year they funded a literal ponzi running on Luna lol where the founders are probably going to jail. Good job on fold by the way - I am a user and it’s great!

It's not the YC or typical VC way, but for certain industries - its basically one of the best ways to get going. Healthcare in the US and legal comes to mind. These profession promote for risk-averse behaviors, so selling a predictable

As someone already said - rapamycin literature is mostly in cancer and transplant patients and with relatively high-doses. The risks are real, but my clinical judgement would lead me to believe that for at least some people the benefits w

Your concern is correct. Suppressing the immune system is a 2-edged sword - a little suppression in the right setting, is extremely beneficial, but go overboard and it is harmful. That's why in a perfect world, we would have large huma

Just putting this out there, I am a PharmD and this is totally real and the traditional medical establishment is really behind. It is positive effects are beyond doubt - the argument against it is usually "we don't know what the s

Wrench-attacking one person is easy. Wrench attacking 10% of your population is impossible. In CS terms - Digital Central Bank money is O(1) to control. Bitcoin is O(n2).

Because government officials are supposed to be working for the people? Does your barber want to ban Bitcoin? The school-teacher? The doctor? Nope. They either don't care or actually like it. Also, "banning" things in America

Visa/Mastercard are not guaranteed settlements…

very uninformed take - they specifically mentioned the lighting network where transactions happen as fast as VISA/Mastercard.

No - it is a great idea and will eventually work. A massive demand for this service doesn't really exist yet - so Helium is struggling. IOT devices everywhere are not here yet. But I don't see anything wrong with the underlying te

Ok - how about facilitating abortions in Texas? Selling imported insulin to diabetics?

Ok - I run a charity that makes is easier for illegal migrants to find housing and avoid deportation. This is illegal - should VISA cut me off?

But we depend on them for everything else. I am deeply embedded in the drug supply chain - we would run out of live-savings drugs in 3-6 months of China closed shop. (and drugs are not fundamentally different from any low-margin manufacturi

Here is a propaganda tip for ya - simple, dumb ideas work great in Facebook and Twitter. Hacker News is a little different. Just say that Russia is no different than China or the USA. It is reasonable for them to have their own monroe doctr

Yea, Crimea would have been the perfect time to realize that depending on a rational, happy Russia for gas is a bad idea. Don't worry though, America is repeating the same mistakes with China. So, its not just Europe.

I am with ya there. But the Germans populace have been thoroughly brain-washed that nuclear is bad. So, better just to tell them : "its bad, but needed because we are in a war."

There are solutions, just unpopular and require a political class that is not fickle and weak. Solution #1. Capitulate to Putin and treat Russia as a regional power that can gobble and punish its neighbors when they stray too far. Solution

The problem with these kind of charts is the implicit message that history is the future. America have been on the dominant financial and militaristic force in the world for the last century and its equities have reflected that strength. Wo

traditional hedgefund money is in a bank - a court can freeze their account, give it to their creditors, seize any new money that goes in it, etc. Crypto hedge-funds money is a cold-wallet protected by a 12 words phrase (some anyway - if th

The market thinks that the SEC is putting up road blocks to get the exchanges to register with them (currently, the only license needed to operate a US-based exchange is a money-transmitter license). The exchanges don’t want to register wit

Hi HN - a clinical pharmacist for close to 10 years. As COVID hit, my wife stayed home and took care of the house. Found myself with a lot of evening and weekends with nothing to do. So, decided to use the time productively and learn how to
