No, this is what identity politics is, reducing technical matters to which camp you're in ("your post gives me crypto vibes, scam!!"). Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this doesn't belong on HN.

It's common courtesy not to interject in a technical discussion with identity politics.

It doesn't seem to load on both Firefox and Chrome so I'm not sure the browser is the problem. Their servers are probably overloaded.

My point is that this is an apples and oranges comparison. An appropriate comparison would be between banning terrorism and banning sending cryptocurrency to enemy governments. Thankfully both are already banned so there's no need to d

Are you seriously comparing cryptocurrency with terrorism? One is a inherently neutral tool, functionally almost identical to cash, the other is a inherently harmful violent action. I mean there are plenty of countries where the idea of fre

Bored Apes are not just "a jpeg". From the very launch of the project their ownership gave you access to a private Discord group, and you were being promised future perks like airdrops and access to "metaverse" worlds. A

It's not just a vague sense of the "brand image", it's that they literally demand you open a Facebook account to use the device. I'm sure if it was just the corporate connection with Meta but it was still an ethical

That's exactly why I stopped using Uber. It was annoying to not get notification when drivers arrive, but there's no way I'm giving them free access to make my pocket vibrate all day long.

I think the primary reason for this reaction is not just the inclination to be suspicious of virtue signaling when it's too obvious, but the fear of social pressure these public displays of charity might cause. We don't want to ha

We can have differing opinions on copying ideas, but plagiarism is another matter that is generally not looked upon favorably in our western parts of the world. And he did wait until it came out of stealth, even though he noticed their &quo

The 20% APY provided by Anchor was way above the average yields for safe DeFi lending. Which indicated that even among crypto users, this was considered a degen play! The whole Terra saga was a typical example of speculative bubble. Every

They really had the room to put a x2 zoom camera on there though... what a shame they didn't.

The most egregious is that there's still no setting to prevent skipping the credits. It's so distracting when you finish a movie or series and instead of having some time to reflect on it, you get served an ad for some of their ot

You can subscribe to Slack threads like you would a forum's. Discord threads are a bit weird but they have the advantage that they appear on the sidebar so they don't get lost in a sea of messages.

The whole selling pitch is about replacing intermediaries, and that's what most tech giants are. P2P payment systems and P2P collateralized loans are already there more or less working with a clear path to scaling. If they gain adoptio

"I’ve had quite a bit of fun playing Gods Unchained which is like Hearthstone but on Ethereum." To be more precise it's like Hearthstone, but with a marketplace running on a centralized Ethereum L2. 1. The game doesn't r

Ironically the same quote also describes the extreme feelings of the opposite camp. Established tech companies and their employees have a lot to lose if web3 and related tech would actually become successful.

WAGMI = We All Gonna Make It. Seems to me it's used to promote such and such project. Like they're saying "me and you will make a lot of money from this investment!"

Some licenses may require build instructions, but if all you want is to open your source code so that other people can read it, you can just do that. Remove secrets, publish the code, and you're done. People can figure out how to build

I wasn't a frequent user but from what I witnessed, its functionalities were merely a subset of Tiktok. Not surprising the later's network effects prevailed.

Coffee on an empty stomach is quite hard on the stomach. One thing I learned recently is that gut damage from unhealthy eating habits can accumulate over long periods of times, and symptoms manifest decades after. So if you notice any uncom

I respectfully disagree. Regular donation prompts bring in peanuts. If there was a thriving economy for end-user open-source software then we could blame them, but it's just not how it is right now.

Great resource I agree. The guide is concise and could seem obvious to many peeps, but it made me reflect about my own pair programming sessions and notice I likely failed at a bunch of those points.
