Your friends are enjoying an exceptional decade of high valuations and paper growth for the tech sector. Think about their personal growth when they retire. I don't think anything can compare to building something on your own from noth

They can have all these if they allow "pay with Ethereum".

otoh, sponsoring developers avoids the friction between teams about how to share sponsorships etc. they should offer both though

i think worklist.net has created a bidding platform that works that way. it's not popular, but something like that on github be pretty popular imho.

On the other hand it provides a way to measure the performance of the people being sponsored. it's a good fit.

They should also launch one-off contributions for people who want particular features . Still a great move , and loooong overdue, i hope it succeeds massively.

I wanted the simplest way to save bookmarks, with a single click like i do in the browser, so i made this: https://pinplz.com You can browse chronologically (blog-like), by tag, by domain, leave notes. It also saves the referrer

These are all interesting approaches. I m surprised there is nothing related to optogenetics, but i guess that is considered too invasive. In reality once we are inside the brain it might prove to be easier to deliver signals, because our b

Is that illegal? They can always claim it's not collusion because anyone can join uber and set another price - They are not stopping anyone from doing that. (also it seems almost trivial to fix this with a change in algorithm)

Assuming that it is, can they do something about it ?

I think this has become a herd problem. You have to replace your phone time with doing something else, preferably with other people. But if they are also occasionally on their phones then that opportunity is lost. It s kind of a vortex

> remote is not for everyone I view this as a problem. Everyone should be able to work remotely in tech, especially in 2019. Office and commutes should be legacy concepts. What do we need to do to enable better and more remote cultures?

For a minute i thought you were talking about reddit's undesign. Yeah Indiehacker has almost comically bad UI but you're more likely to find people that are hustling there. HN is more about corporate office politics.

subreddits with strong moderation are indistinguishable from hn also indiehackers.com

I don't think tags will change things, because it is the audience that has changed here. I see a lot of tech topics being buried because they are tangentially political, and in general this is no longer "hacker news", but the

If you do it in a very public way then other people also have a right to very publicly call you out for that. Nothing personal or binary, just typical public character assassination

There will never be enough time to analyze that data anyways. Scientists are struggling to analyze their own data already. I think that is a known failure of contemporary science: too many small experiments that are often replicating each o

Because he said it on public broadcast. And i believe public broadcasts are the least likely to be deleted from the internet. Private stuff , or things said in a small circle of social network friends are much less important.

And that s a great thing! There is no reason to maintain everything, in fact the entire function of our brains is to filter out useful information from a cataclysm of sensory input. The internet figures out what to keep and what to throw aw

I wouldn't know. Another thing to look at is worklist.net, which is a system in which developers are bidding to complete dev tasks for open source.
