For a look at SSB in particular, I would strong recommend the protocol guide — it explains the core ideas quite well, which I think are broadly applicable to future networks of this pattern: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebut

That’s where that reference comes from of course :)

SSB is such a wonderful idea. There’s no global timeline — just archipelagos. It assumes that network heterogeny is the default, and is transmission layer agnostic. Breakages will occur. Maybe you’re living on a catamaran in the South Pacif

As a few other commenters have mentioned, this is a story about how Karikó was sidelined early in her career. The Penn demotion occurred in 1991. She eventually left in 2013 when, despite publishing groundbreaking research in the mid 00s, s

Strongly agree with this comment. We hide our elderly in sterile, grey corridors and leave them to die alone. We have totally de-socialized growing old and the process of dying, we've totally dissociated ourselves from it - and when it

While that's true, I think two factors strongly indicate that this was targeted at the ATT building. The first observation is, of course, that the ATT building was the closest to the explosion. A direct witness to the RV broadcasting t

This article doesn't make this so explicit, but ATT infrastructure appears to be the intentional target of the bombing. You can see the building in the helicopter shot at the top of the NYTimes article on the story: https://

This is really cool, I joined the launch chat and people were emulating in real life behaviors like standing in a circle and moving their focus to the speaker. I also noticed that multiple conversations were happening at the same time, with

What were your expectations that have been unmet? Which projects were you excited about that have been untouched? I'm extremely impressed with the progress that IPFS has made - I'm an active (daily) user, and have implemented arch

I don't understand why travel or meeting is necessary for them to hire staff, was my thinking. What is the liability issue with hiring someone remotely for this kind of project?

There's still time for the course to change, you might prove right in the long run - the average Hacker News reader's parents weren't even alive when EO 6102 happened, which seems wild to us now. The threat of shutdown seems

Let's pay tribute to the very first Hacker News thread about Bitcoin back in May, 2009 with this classic comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=599852 > Well this is an exceptionally cute idea, but there is a

Forever? If it made sense to everyone, there would be no upside. The very nature of an innovative idea is that few people see it.

A very happy customer of Vercel here, and a Next.js user. Vercel makes it really easy to deploy isomorphic JavaScript applications, to the point where I barely have to think about the runtime context. Thinking back to the ~2015 era, it feel

Strongly doubt that would have been a net effect considering the amount of corporate attention and support was received. Ferguson in 2014 might be a better example case, where there was little to no corporate involvement. Your point is tru

In general , the consumer data privacy laws in regions where Google has significant regulatory exposure do not permit indefinite data retention of PII. My speculation is that Google sees an across the board, 2-year inactivity period as the

This is speculation, but I wonder if this is not the outcome of legal compliance efforts with respect to defined data retention periods in various pieces of consumer privacy legislation over the last few years. From Recital 39 of the GDPR:

It's also true at the high end. Business decisions around key service providers in the AAA+ live events space are driven primarily by access to what effectively are financial services (advances and other lifecycle events, and in genera

There's a reason "marketplaces" get a call out on this landing page. Every single startup that has to manage buyers and sellers ends up needing to implement their own bespoke "treasury" operations. There are other p

Can vanilla Elixir releases, for that matter? Not from what I've seen - would love to know if I'm wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but there doesn't seem to be anything new with this release but a landing page?

It’s not wrong, it’s just generally but not exhaustively true. SSB doesn’t have a root node, so if you think of yourself like an island the data transfer required from your first “bridge” is going to depend on what you are bridging to . In

The original comment has changed significantly. It was much more terse in its initial posting. I think another important factor to keep in mind here is age of account.
