"proof of work" blockchain-based crypto-currencies deliberately waste power and continually increase this wastefulness by design over time. bitcoin proof-of-work complexity increased 4x in 2018 alone. no amount of renewables CAN c

Until such a time that I don't find ALL programming info on Medium.com or it's subsites I will continue to decry this increasing centralization of content. The web is our tool for liberation and this is a subversion of the very pr

It's not a dead horse! 99.999999% of all Flutter tutorial content is on Medium, it seems! Medium is NOT our community info-repository, but rather the Facebook of blogging, centralizing content further. Until such a point that the inter

I'll go further. I'm of the opinion that paywalled articles don't belong here on HN, as it limits the public discourse possible, and as HN should not serve as a funnel for peoples paywalled web sites. Downvote me for stating

I have the (admittedly subjective) sensation that I read a similar blog article just about every week. As the author aknowledges the various opposing points, we could, perhaps, sensibly surmise that it's contextually dependent.
