The problem is everyone has been burnt by this before. The moment you build a 3rd party solution, then they pull the API away from you 1-x years from now, your dead in the water. Thats not to say people wont give it a go, but I wonder how v

Can I ask a bit more about your experience with this? My son has ADHD, and I'm rapidly realising that many aspects of my life correlate with the symptoms, especially in adults. But then I get worried I'm trying to make my square p

Doesnt the HN voting system kind of take care of this problem? If the tweet is low-quality, not important, then it wont get many upvotes. But if the tweet is highly important, has information people believe is valuable etc - then it gets up

Yeah - I wondered about this exact issue too. Same as all the NFT "artwork" I see around. Why cant I just literally copy and paste the artwork, maybe change one single pixel, and re-mint it?

One use case I was wondering for NFTs; would it make sense for photographers? So if I took some "amazing" photos of stuff, whether it was art, landscape or 'stock' style photos. I could list them on a website to be sold,

I use Amazon S3 buckets, with the web server having an IAM user key with very limited access that only allows writes. No reads/listing. So if the web server gets hacked, the hacker can only write to the bucket, but has no way to know w

For me the Reddit subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/ wont load either. I can load the rest of Reddit fine - but that page just loads as a blank white page. I'm guessing its lots of people goin

Those installation prices seem crazy? I live in Australia, and last year I had 13kw worth of solar panels, with a 10kw inverter installed on my roof for $10k AUD (about $8k USD). Our federal government does some subisidies, so I believe the

Ironically Reddit ruining the mobile experience and pushing to use their app so badly forced me to download a 3rd party App to read Reddit (Apollo). By doing this I no longer see any Reddit ads. If they hadnt pushed so hard to use their app
