I'm actually quite surprised and impressed that I was able to open the site and leave a message while this is on the frontpage!

Fiddled around with it a bit and if you reduce the spacing between the boxes to a few pixels the illusion goes away for me or is barely noticeable. But, the aesthetics of the whole thing are quite different then.

A spec makes it more easy to build tooling around it. I reckon the people that love emacs org-mode, do so not mainly because of its specification, but the power to manipulate those plain text files in the editor.

You can completely fail in one thing, and succeed in another. Crypto people have moved the goalpost of what it is supposed to be useful for a lot over the years. Which is fine. Doesn't mean it has completely failed to deliver on some o

Yes, I could have been clearer in my original post. My point was in reference to, many crypto advocates saying years ago that these types of small transactions at high speed and lost cost are one of the biggest benefits of it. This has neve

Given some of the services you mentioned, are you talking about transferring money in and out of the country? In that case I might agree. It is a huge pain in Colombia as well. I was referring to alternatives to small cash transactions betw

Not saying crypto has failed in all aspects, just in the use case talked about in the blog post. I don't see crypto competing with e.g. Nequi any time soon. The project you mentioned is interesting, but I see it as something much more

Things is, companies like this solve a real world problem for real people in developing countries now . At least where I am, Colombia, crypto has utterly failed to do this. The target audience of such products doesn't care much about

From my experience hiring and mentoring, I reckon a lot has to do with how (overly) complex stacks for web application development have gotten. Thus people often having to learn in a very top down way, learning the very high level tools fir

Wouldn't it be faster for the autonomous trucks to go on autonomous trains in-between major hubs then drive off to do the last mile? Might require a built up of rail infrastructure and I don't know the limits of freight trains in

I opened two accounts (different emails, credit cards, billing address) in the span over two years from Colombia. First one worked perfectly fine, but for the second one they wanted me to provide id before spinning up anything. So not sure

Knowing how to use your tools. Operating systems, window managers, editors, debuggers, cli&gui tools in general, keyboard shortcuts etc. I often find the lack of this pretty jarring, watching how slow and ineffective some people are whe

I don't exactly love the office but prefer it. I like to have a strong separation between working and living space/time. I have a room in my apartment that I could use as an office, but I rather use it for hobbies than work. Even

Be happy! You have gotten big enough for someone to care enough about you to include your company in their competitor analysis. I reckon most founders don't get that far.

In my opinion it is much more whether the critique was solicited and in what context it was given. I don’t think I would call someone a friend, if I couldn’t trust them to give me their honest opinion and challenge me with questions. Not sp

A very related problem is, that people often want to have information that simple doesn't exists or is not obtainable at this moment. When I worked at a large news site, every time there was a significant event, people flocked to the u

Is downdetector reliable at all? I feel every time something is down, a lot of unrelated sites also are reported as having problems. E.g. at the moment it reports AWS, GCP, Azure, Cloudflare and Facebook among others having issues.
