it's not slavery when someone voluntarily contributes to a game like minecraft instead of choosing one of the many other activities available -- including money-earning ones.

the minecraft devs were not workers. critically, they did so voluntarily and for the compensation of entertainment, passion, and helping themselves. rowling and lucas didn’t harm workers nor did they violate labor laws. complying with IP la

here are three to start: j.k. rowling, george lucas, and notch (maker of minecraft). not all billionaire are good, and not all are bad.

this is right. driving down costs is crucial in science (and other fields actually). as software grows more sophisticated, this will happen. startups like https://mbcbiolabs.com are starting to lower lab costs, and this trend wi

it's reasonable to discount for comorbidities with covid deaths. how many vaccine deaths occurred among people with 3/4 comorbidities? assuming vaccine deaths are lower, and the long-term risks for the virus and vaccine are both u

in the same way FAANG engineers build impactful projects on the side, it would only help science if we could empower talented people like you to conduct your own "side" experiments. let's hope the day comes soon.

agreed. however, lowering barriers so more people can help also means potentially clearing the idea backlog faster. the startup analogy is right: sometimes a promising idea requires another implementation (experiment in this case) for valid

one of the best accelerants for science would be empowering non-researchers like you to hire researchers to conduct experiments like this -- or ideally conduct experiments yourself. equipment, material, and people costs are prohibitively hi

Key Points: * Scientists discovered a relationship between cancer and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) in 1965, but considered ecDNAs rare and not worth investigating. * Researchers subsequently learned that ecDNAs are common and central to the

thanks for the comments. you thought a lot about this, and it’s helpful to hear skeptical arguments. why couldn’t opensea or NFT marketplaces perform verification for you and display twitter-like checkmarks for art sold by owner?

what did you use to create the art project, if you don’t mind sharing? re the criticism above, why couldn’t opensea or NFT marketplaces perform verification for you and display twitter-like checkmarks for art sold by owner?

we agree NFT fail in these case. however, these were not the ones i defined nor was there a claim NFTs work in all cases. the metapoint is that whether NFTs are a fad or fundamental technology will be defined by new use cases, so we should

it's easy to get blinded by the scams and abuses enabled by new technology, but what matters in the long term are the new benefits and use cases. will NFTs last? unclear. however, one benefit is clear and compelling: decentralized roya
