Run away ... I got pulled into situations like this twice and even with an MVP the idea guy couldn't sell what he claimed customers wanted.

I feel bad for this guy - he didn't choose his circumstances but I feel far worse for those in Ukraine.

It looks like this posting did the trick (though it's pretty meta and I'm surprised it hasn't been flagged). If you created an HN account just so that you can use it for social proof on Keybase, you should know that people wh

My dictionary, excluding proper names and words with punctuation, has about 4600 five-letter words. I'd add a question to your list related to how the 2315 Wordle words were chosen as an analysis of this might provide more heuristics

Thanks for clarifying! This is a bit OT but I've been pondering the sanctions and concluded that Putin (if he's still alive) and the Russian oligarchs should continued to be sanctioned even when Russia itself rejoins the world com

I can't tell if this was a serious question but the OP should seriously consider whether the money behind their investor might be coming from Russia. But they should also consider whether the current events have distracted this invest

Yes ... exit scams existed long before cryptocurrency or even the Internet.

Those of us who lived during the cold war spent 40 years where we originally practiced duck-and-cover (my parents) and then understood the futility of the idea. We came to rely on the belief in MAD and relegated that worry (no longer fear)

I think there are a lot of us who don't believe crypto will achieve the ideals you've outlined above. If the current implementations don't evolve then there is always the potential for new systems that do what you've de

Yeah ... I found it and vouched for it. The paragraphs were better than I expected from the title!

Can you provide a link? It doesn't sound likely to be a duplicate so I'd like to take a look.

Most undergrad thesis don't get published but hers was pretty novel and is now cited by a lot of other papers. So I'd say the key to being published is to treat it as an opportunity for publishing and to do research on and write

My wife was part of the honors college at Penn State and they're required to write an honors thesis. Ask your school what you can do to "level-up".

Way back in the '90s (that's the 1990s in case you're reading this in the distant future), I made a statement that my employees promptly declared to be "Moyer's Law" - It states "When you can consistently

To expand on #1, the presence of a paywall is a rough equivalent to proof-of-stake on a blockchain. Professional news organizations and paid reported have a built-in credibility (though sometimes not deserved.)

If the single photon simultaneously bounces off the partially-silvered mirror and goes through it, you're not going to get an answer to a binary question from this experimental set-up.

In the U.S. it's definitely illegal and I wasn't recommending the OP perform DDOS. From a technical perspective, it's interesting that anyone with a browser can participate.

The warnings issued by Putin to not interfere and the West's "drawing a line in the sand" reminds me a bit of the Cuban missile crisis (though it's Russia who's claiming a free Ukraine weakens their sovereignty. Bu
