Congrats on the launch! Woop woop. Two questions for y'all: 1. I'm wonder what your thinking is as a new, custodial crypto exchange. It's not that I don't think a custodial exchange can be successful (see: CB), but it se

Taking this with a grain of salt, of course, but cool! Worth pointing out the concept of "healthspan," which is pretty much like it sounds like: how long you stay healthy to do the things you want to do. Long lifespan seems worthw

I think phrasing spreadsheets as 2D code is mostly misleading, as it makes it seem like it's the code's 2D-ness that makes them useful. Spreadsheets are one way of consuming 2D _data_, which most business data is. They also provid

No matter the quality of the code presented here, thanks to The Economist for posting this! We all really appreciate it, even if we don't always seem like it :) Even if it seems justified to shit on the code as is (bad style, lack of c

One thing blockchain scalability conversations often miss is the concept of induced demand [1]. City streets and computer hardware and blockchain throughput. We dream that 'make bigger, make faster' will alleviate congestion in al

Vitalik is consistently one of the most interesting people to follow in the blockchain space. Even his (5+ year) old writing is quite interesting, if nothing else to see how Ethereum's research thinking has evolved over time. A few que

This post raises two common criticisms against proof-of-stake: it's self-referential (and therefore cannot work), and it's subjective (and therefore cannot work). Each of them have a bit of truth to them, but (spoilers) I strongly

If it's your thing, I highly recommend NNT's YouTube channel [1]. He uploads short videos (that he apparently films with a potato), where he explains stat concepts "for beginners." Of course, he also spends lots of time

Yep! It's a new chain as well - that will eventually consume the old Ethereum PoW chain :)

This is not the case. In Ethereum's PoS model, you put value at risk when you sign up to be a validator. You have to lock funds up to play a part in consensus. This means that if you start acting maliciously, or even just not fulfillin

The first line of this essay talks about fish not existing either. For anyone interested in this subject (albeit from a different angle) I highly recommend the book “Why Fish Don’t Exist” [1]. It’s only really a little bit about fish, the f

For anyone wondering, this is not an experiment, it's an epidemiological study. I've commented about it on HN before [1], but nutritional epidemiology is in its own league of shady science. If you didn't know, 80% of things y

Explicit data size limits (something on the order of 1M rows at time of writing) are only one part of the problem in trying to use Excel with Big Data (TM). Generally, if you've got millions of rows, you're working with some sort

Those graphs are epidemiological studies. Saying “effect” implies that alcohol is a cause here, which is might be, but who knows! Nutritional epidemiology is real questionable - it pretty much can tell you nonsense - like the fact that most

Really interesting perspective - an totally agree, there is a huge diversity within python users along many dimensions! If I can ask - why do you try and avoid point and click tools?

Hey HN - Super excited to hear any feedback y'all have on Mito or our docs. Happy to answer any questions here!

Congrats on the release! LibreOffice was one of the first large applications I looked at, mostly due to my interest in spreadsheets generally. I generally have massive respect for anyone / anything that can parse a legacy Microsoft fil

I was interesting in quantum computation / programming about a year ago, but failed to really get into it (I'm too dum, I think :)). Mostly, my interest was in understanding the mental model. I learned Golang like 1.5 years ago, a

Yeah, ideally it'd be a fully featured version control system for other sorts of files. Aka: git diff, status, merge all would work for these other files!

The 1/3 bound is for general byzantine behavior. If you're willing to get more specific about the type of behavior you want to tolerate, the bounds are more flexible[1] (this link is from the HotStuff people, actually!). For examp
