A lot of people here are accusing Google of embrace, extend, and extinguish, but you have to realize that the incentives here are different from Big Tech's point of view. I'd first like to point out Python is a programming languag

And if somebody steals your coin, you can go through courts and banks to get it back. You can pay taxes with it. It is backed by a strong authority and is used as the reserve currency/economic driver of the world's countries. It i

Fortunately, ublock origin does most of the targeting for me, although it focuses on ads not content. I'm pretty sure those people work night and day to keep the filters accurate. As for my filters, I've set them over the last cou

The level of engineering put into creating feeds and distracting you from your purpose on some websites is terrifying. As part of my attempts to lessen my digital addiction, I wrote filters in ublock origin to block off anything on youtube

From experience I know that user research/validation is one of the most important steps in building a viable project, but also that it is really difficult to do because your methods have to be tailored to different groups of people. Th

I would argue that VC investing is actually a renaissance in providing bountiful cheap funding for startups to get off the ground. It is only going to expand. And if you know anything about the process, there are ample lawyers and legal con

It might also be so unpopular because we are smart enough and technically inclined enough to make our own conclusions on the technology without relying on ideology. And the more we look into it, the more dubious the siren song of crypto bec

I totally agree. There is absolutely no earthly reason for why a Bitcoin should be worth $40k+. Cryptocurrencies can be useful, but they aren't useful enough to replace the financial system or be valued more than any actual asset. Th

I doubt anybody in an important position would lend much thought to crypto. A glance at it and you can see that its just a Rube-Goldberg machine trying to replace the trust and authority of central banks with "decentralization". A

Yeah, if you have the fab, circuit board manufacturing plant, and assembly plant then it is. Keep in mind that you are economically isolated from the rest of the world, forcing you to do things like copy designs to save time and limited res

I think the important thing highlighted in this article is that a startup needs to do whatever it can to survive - which means its okay to quickly do things that won't be sustainable later. A startup needs to hit the ground running, wh

I especially liked the squeaky toy sound it made when the input met the password scheme. Maybe that would be a good addition to slip into the product's account page before it ships!

No, no, no ! That's the whole reason behind why it sucks... you can't trust it! You have to verify every record on that chain by yourself, and if you make a mistake in a transaction or other operation there is no court or process

Willingness to be conscripted? Different styles of dress? Different approaches to life? Sure it would be a culture shock and strange, but the culture as a whole would not be alien. If we had a day just to shadow/hang around in the comp

None of this is true... politics mainly happened at the local level because the imperial Roman empire was destroyed, but that only changed development and innovation. Have you ever read Beowulf? It is one of the most highly developed pieces

I mean if we look at the time period... everybody did this to everyone. European states had bloody dynastic and religious wars. The intrigues of city-states on the Italian peninsula created one of the most treacherous political environments

You are quite right. A lot of people underestimate the international connections a specific local place had at some time in history, this is the case with Europe as well. After the Roman Empire fell, its knowledge, writings, and customs wer

I personally am not surprised this happened - the definition between concrete species is terribly fuzzy depending on how far back in time you go. There's different ways the evolutionary tree can fork, from geographic to functional to r

There are a lot of misguided beliefs about the Medieval period arising from a popular Gothic/Romantic revival in the 19th century. The period became known by another name - "the Dark Ages" - and was seen as dark, mysterious,

A little bit of value. But as a decentralized utopian panacea? Nope. If I was given the choice between a Bitcoin and a bar of gold, I'd definitely take the bar of gold.

With the resources they had (almost nothing) in the stilted, moribund economy of the Soviet Bloc, cloning the Apple II is quite an incredible technical achievement.

So you pay $40k+ for bitcoin just so you can frame some numbers and letters and say you paid $40k+ for those numbers and letters? Gold's value comes from the fact that it doesn't dull or dim over time, and has many uses in the ele

Sorry, but in case you don't have much intuition, let me fill you in. People value gold and artwork because it is beautiful and you can have it for yourself. Gold also has several utilitarian uses. Now compare these things to a digital
