You can choose to delegate the uncertain overheads to a company that relies (and specializes) on dealing with them. Or you can roll it yourself and add to your burden. Code is not an asset, it's a liability. And I mean that from a pure

I think you should judge it as what it is. A tiny write up of an idea where each answer needs a lot of work to be implemented fully. I don't know if advertising is the culprit for the bad aspects of the internet, but I agree that creat

Pretty much every decentralized system has centralized components. You can't get away with 100% decentralization because we're not there yet. First example that comes to mind is the dat protocol (Beaker Browser) and hashbase[1], t

I love how oblivious (blissfully ignorant?) the "How will you earn money?" section is. > The application is decentralized so we just need money for the developers, the lawyers and the advertisers, we don’t have to build and ma

Same here. You really need to be more explicit with your queries and remember that Duck Duck Go has no concept of who you are as a person. Searching for "babel" in Duck Duck Go and Google yield different results (for the first thr

My comment has spurred conversation about the perception/stigma of having been in a fraternity, instead of conversation about how the fraternity mentality can (and does?) lead to an unwelcoming environment for women. Isn't that te

There's nothing wrong with reverting a recommendation. Sounds like you have a great explanation for why you would revert your own recommendation, as well. Just like every other startup in the world, Keybase doesn't "owe"

Subscription fatigue, maybe? The idea of variable subscription models is interesting, especially if the consumer can see detailed justifications for their bill. I think that's a key point in battling subscription fatigue. Software comp
