There is no reason why big tech cant implement a big system at scale to rely on users to police itself, except of course they would lose control themselves. Web3 and crypto already exist and HN overwhelmingly hates them. This is lik

Either way I don't want it spying on me. Unfortunately iOS is filled with call-homes to apple servers with all sorts of telemetry data. You can "turn off" exact lat/long coordinates (location data), however your

But art is defined as drawings (/sculptures, etc) made by the annointed elite. This is false. It's worth distinguishing art vs popular art. I know plenty of poor artists that won't be in history books/museums tha

3. Hacker News comments have been vehemently anti-cryptocurrency for a decade. I remember being shocked how out of touch with actual hackers this place is. Reminds me of punks who'd shop at Hot Topic.

Most people aren't trying to make a quick buck by rent-seeking in a system based on massive electrical waste. Yeah become a noble developer for software that charges a monthly fee and uses massive servers like everyone else.
