Curious - what are you guys using Rust for?

Likewise - we use Figma at our company and it genuinely is an amazing product. Also highly recommend ProductBoard. Fig + PB + Jira (yeh I know) can be a powerful pipeline.

Reminds me of Fukyama's "Political Order and Political Decay", but in a more contemporary and narrow context. Interesting thought bubble, thanks for the read!

I'm seeing more and more dev tools being developed for mobile e.g. yesterday on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22968079 Seems like there's pent up demand for more hacker stuff on mobile! :) I wonder what

Would love Stripe to handle bank transfers as a payment method! Many of our customers prefer this method over card payments. Then Stripe would fully cover our payment use-case; I'd love to use Stripe alone for payment, analytics and se

We need the Ethereum Naming System (ENS) as soon as possible. Domain names will be one of the first major applications of global consensus algorithms. https://ens.domains/

To be fair HN is probably not LinkedIn's typical audience :P I say this as a techie who embraced the Dark Side and started using LI a few years ago...

Good (paywalled, unfortunately) article on China using this as a way to move the infrastructure to depend on Huawei-owned patents so they can cash in on that work. https://www.ft.com/content/ba94c2bc-6e27-11ea-9bca-bf50

This is an online course, not a book, but it changed my understanding of finance. I studied Economics (initially) at university, and never found anything close to as useful as this class: https://www.coursera.org/learn/

As a French educated non-French, I must say: you've gotta love the French <3 :)

As much as I hate to say it...I completely agree. I'd love to see the reasoning behind breaking minimalist principles; otherwise it looks like complexity drift to me.

Is it a coincidence this came up on HN at the same time Telegram is getting dissed on HN? Can't help but think it was coordinated...which is sad for HN

Love this! > Avoiding premature death is a process of not occupying the same space as fast-moving metal or motivated microbes. Living is mostly a series of repetitive and unrelated tasks.

Simple question: why aren't trains a big thing in the US? They are in Asia and Europe. Any readings on the topic much appreciated.

FINALLY the field of Economics is waking up to the 20th (yes) century... I've always loved the questions economics asks, but found the methodology for finding answers to miss out on ideas from computer science

If what Generics fundamentally solve is having to type out an almost identical function for many types, why not just have macros?

One can see your point, and indeed one may choose to sacrifice one's own freedom for material prosperity. But it is not analogous. The question is whether one thinks it's fine to forcefully lock up a certain group of society for o

I hear you, but that's why the greedy optimisation of convenience above all gradually leads to the local mininum of a Brave New World.

Rather than starting with some personal anecdote contrived for some sort of empathy, as is the common style these days! Thank you.

Yes exactly. It reminds me of the difference between Machine Learning in the earlier days, which was based on hard-coded features, compared to things like vector embeddings that derive semantics and semantic connections in a bottom-up manne

Exactly. It seems like we may want to develop more accurate models of how changing DNA and its environment affects its expression through (t)RNA, proteins, and reflexively itself, before making massive "production" changes in one

Very articulate and thoughtful. It makes me happy that level-headed people like yourself exist. I'm curious, where do people like yourself linger? What made you into a person who can respond as such? Are you an engineer who reads a lot

Try writing a linked list in Rust...or implementing a graph. It's not intuitive I think?

Perhaps you're confusing IPFS and Filecoin? IPFS provides the storage and retrieval layer, while Filecoin allows for incentivised markets, to your point.
