I have no horse in this race. I don't use Signal or any of its competitors, so allow me to ask some basic questions. Could some users explain why you currently use Signal, and additionally, why you would continue to do so? It appears t

Just curious, why are you opposed to search ads? They are already targeted by your search query, so don't fundamentally rely on tracking data.

Being able to do 50,000 tx per second with fees at fractions of a penny is what differentiates this from Ethereum. This makes things such as truly real time, decentralized exchanges feasible.

I don't see any issue with the title. This is hacker _news_. The news here is that a new release is out. For those that don't use Terraform, your suggested title could be interpreted that declaratively describing infrastructure on

Sorry in advance for off topic, but seeing as how both this website and Reddit is currently down with the same 503 Varnish cache error currently, I wanted to ask how that would be possible? Surely Reddit uses their own infrastructure and no

I'm planning to buy an apartment in Chicago (Lincoln Park). All these apartment buildings have HOA fees from $500 to $1k per month, so it seems to be pretty unavoidable here. Does this mean I should just avoid buying in the city all to

What's the alternative with Gevent? Passing callbacks everywhere? Is that somehow better than async/await syntax? Libraries will still have to be re-written and public interfaces will change. Might as well do it right, and not aba
