Sky Mavis raised $150M, and is going to be funding the remaining ~$470M to make investors whole. This doesn't look like it's one of those stories.

That can be solved by adding a delay for each subsequent transaction from a wallet. Solana has been considering this to solve some spam issues. t+(n*cooldown period), or something

Most other commenters hit nailed it, it sounds like you're being a little overly self-critical. I always say it took me 2 years to start getting useful in coding, and after those 2 years it only took a couple years for me to become a

This is kind of what they've done with the Ethereum 2.0, "The Merge," change that they're working on now. They're splitting the consensus and the execution layers, in part to reduce complexity. I think the crux of

100%, this is a doctor supervision and recommendation thing. I dug up the researcher talking about it on Twitter (links to pre publish study) https://twitter.com/resiapretorius/status/147616431231823872...

I’m suggesting that my covid led to long covid, which has been characterized as a persistent decrease in cardio capacity. In particular, the worst of it was me gasping for breath after a flight of stairs for about the first month.

Agreed. I've seen some theories that long covid is related to micro blood clots, and some very preliminary studies showing universal improvements from long term anti-coagulants---though I am far from being an expert able to really vet

Cronje definitely made money, he was one of the originators of the DeFi space. He contributed a great deal as a developer, and has famously been very annoyed by the politics and drama of the space. There's probably something to be sa

Take a look at any article that is even tangentially related to anything in crypto. You'll find a battleground of people who are die hard skeptics refusing to engage with any idea in the space. HN has always had some skepticism, but

Like most polarizing things these days, it seems like the only right response is "I don't know, someone should look into that." This is exactly the feeling I got with the love-hate for every new drug (Ivermectin, etc). No o

I took this a bit differently, though in the same vain. The "unforgiving minute" I read as "every moment doesn't care who you are or what you do, it just marches on", and "sixty seconds' worth of distance

This is a great take. I've taken this poem with me ever since my high school valedictorian introduced me to it in his speech. The popular response was "Kipling was a racist." Okay. Why do I love his work so much despite t

Ahh yes, I know a few people who work in healthcare tech in Germany and it seems like you're way ahead of us. I'm glad you're able to leverage tech a bit more effectively over there. My impression is that the tools the US u

Good point, and this was another problem we hit. Procurement for larger practices was done outside of the individual offices, making the sales less direct and more complicated to find the right person to talk to. Ultimately, we decided to

I didn't work in the field, but I had a good friend who was doing weekly product planning calls and getting us in front of PT's on a regular basis to show our product and discuss what they felt was important. I agree with you, it

It likely would have helped on the margin, but honestly it seemed like we were selling a much better experience to patients, and only marginally better experience to doctors. We really needed to nail the doctor experience, but there is som

This seems like less of a development problem and more of a self confidence problem. You should have a session with a therapist, there is probably a deeper cause of this in your life and you'd be better off trying to figure out that t

Here’s a different take on the situation: I think this is bad for Twitter. Twitter has started building and shipping incredibly well, they’re getting more products out than I ever remember seeing. I was very confident in the trajectory they

I was talking about using products, not investing in some coin. So the bag holder argument doesn’t apply here, these are people directly getting services. But many coins have mechanisms to give dividends in the form of their coin, which hav
