Many exchanges are regulated, but maybe not as banks. But yes you're trusting that exchange with your money. If used for web-micropayments it shouldn't be much of an issue though.

But you can't send $0.01 instantly and anonymously with bank rails. The solution is to use a crypto exchange on crypto rails - just not a regular crypto wallet (you could, but perhaps not very user friendly)

The problem with BAT tokens is they're BAT tokens. If they had just used USDC I feel like it would be much more popular.

The best way to do this today is through any crypto exchange that supports USDC. I just tested this - I went in to Robinhood and sent 0.01 USDC to a SOL address. It cost me $0.001 as a transfer fee and took about 30 seconds total. I agree t

You can just send a transaction from your exchange. Like, let's say I want to send you $0.10 right now. I would just go into Robinhood and send 0.1 USDC to you on Polygon or Solana, that would arrive in your wallet instantly from a Rob

The author states that 2,000+ studies on curcumin are published annually, but basically dismisses the compound as ever potentially being effective by citing a single study. I think more evidence is needed by the author to make that assertio

It would be neat to have a version that plugs straight in to a Macbook pro and uses that for all the processing + battery. Then it's basically just a portable external display.

It's possible that white noise is interesting to look at but it simply overloads our feeble human brains. If you could zoom in, slow down, and blur the white noise to make it a slowly changing gradient I bet it would be somewhat engagi

Account security is a bigger concern for the network than it is for the user. If someone steals my HN account, I won't really care (it's around my 5th account anyway). But if the hacker uses my account's reputation to evade s

Americans love to buy 6,000lb tanks with the aerodynamics of a brick and then complain about high gas prices. It's the American way.

By the way, if you or others have issues with the cool-white LED street lights, you can fix that with a color filter, duct tape, and a ladder. I fixed all the street lights on my street and my neighbors thank me every time they see me. They

Running servers at home is surprisingly easy, especially if you have a good ISP. With AT&T Fiber, you can get 5Gbps symmetric internet with dedicated IPs at $3/mo each. With a few threadripper servers and a basic UPS and you have t

YouTube had this same issue for years to the point where various creators had scripts they would run constantly to clean the spam out of their video comments using very simple filters. It's amazing the apathy that big tech companies ha

On second read, I think what the Kagi doc means is that they don't provide first-party affiliate links (i.e. if you click on an Amazon.com search result it's not using their affiliate). They will still show you search results that

I know that tends to happen for LLMs but I don't know if Google/MS would care enough about some obscure benchmark system to try to game it.

Bitcoin is such a bad payment method, even with Lightning network, because you need to buy a volatile asset and payment processors typically charge huge fees to receive BTC payments. If Kagi supported USDC I would definitely use it.

I have a little over ten years experience, and when I read code that I wrote at 1-2 YoE it's shamefully bad, but after that it starts to get pretty good. I don't think anyone would notice a huge change between my code 5 years ago

Both forums and discord are really bad for finding quick answers. You enter a 40 page thread with post on post of speculation and "try this" - if you have more than 100 active users you need a voting system like Reddit or Stack Ov
