I'm not marketing it (I'm a user, not a developer). And I would think that HN is exactly the forum where ppl care about the implementation details.

Peer to peer makes it as fast as possible because it's not having to pass through a 3rd party's servers (which, for cost reasons, normally limit the bandwidth of the communication channel they are serving). This is just like when

South Australia has sourced 71.5% of its electricity from wind and solar over the last 12 months. It was 86.9% in October of this year. And its main transmission company is forecasting it will be 100% by 2026/27 [1] To be absolutely cl

Really appreciate that link, thanks. Hadn't heard of the guy before. Only started to explore his blog. I watched this video [1] to get an idea about the man and his boat design philosophy and it's very cool. [1] https:/&#x2F

The pressure was much more than that, they are pushing for an "openness to foreign expertise" and a "willingness by the government to work with [NGOs]". And they criticise Modi for "driving out foreign donors and di

I loved In the Mood for Love but loathed Lost in Translation . I don't see any parallels, either in mood or cinematography. I think Coppola is name-checking the earlier film to claim cred, as has been the story of her whole career,

Are we confident that this preface was actually written by Orwell? Is there testimony from that time that he had written such a preface? Because it seems to me that the propagandistic exploitative value of 'finding' and publishi

Yes, a 'collapse' is inevitable. But you seem to be suggesting that it will go on 'collapsing', is that not correct? (Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.) Populations do not keep collapsing to zero; at some poin
