Sorry about that. Since this page is built with urbit it's easy to just request the raw Markdown. Here's plain text for anyone interested: http://urbit.org/posts/overview.md Edit: it should be easy for us to

I absolutely love this. I wish all my "read later" bookmarks were turned into an ebook at the end of the week.

Although it's obvious that the DAO is a pretty crazy experiment, I haven't read anything that completely convinces me it's going to fall apart. I'm aware that it's daring, that it's got lots of potential vul

Hard not to be impressed by how aggressive 'the engineer' is on his blog[0]. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. It's pretty bold. Seems rare to find someone being so candid. Am I missing something?

"... to enable men and computers to cooperate in making decisions and controlling complex situations without inflexible dependence on predetermined programs." Sounds like basically the opposite of the world we live in. Nice to se

I've often asked your first question, and I think the answer is because it's just not simple for an ordinary person. The public benefit is obvious, but it'd have to be decentralized and the technology for that just isn'

I understand why you probably don't want to put it up, but boy would it be fun to look at the code you're describing.

Right. And Wright and everyone involved must know that. So can anyone explain their motives? I truly can't figure that part out. Edit: alain makes a good point. It's not the 'motives' I want to know. I want the whol

It's tough for me to see the substance behind the hype with VR in general. If we're supposed to see VR as a revolution similar to mobile, can someone make that argument for me? All I see are some cool video games.

Yes, that's fair. Maybe I sound too negative. It's definitely mid-pack, but it's an incredible car! It ought to look like the sexiest, most desirable thing available.

Yeah, I'm not really in the market for the i3. But if the Model S looked like an S3 or an M3 I'd be perfectly happy. I can't quite put my finger on why though. Since I'm getting downvoted above, I'll take that as

Does anyone else find the Tesla design to be its worst feature? I want to want one. Really, I do. But when I look at them (this update included) it just looks like a Lexus from 2005 or something. Not that I have something against the

In spirit I agree, but can you provide any references? I'd love to be able to make this argument with a source to back me up.

What I'm loving most about this link is the enthusiasm of the community on that board. It's really sweet to find these small communities on the web that still feel really tightly knit. This is especially amazing: http:/&#x2

The 'real' question is how can we build an alternative platform that doesn't require you to try to 'win' by effectively screwing the people who actually use the stuff you build.

Not sure what to make of the chanting of 'U-S-A U-S-A' after that. That sound just reminds me of a Trump rally these days. But otherwise: that was really fantastic. Edit: It's actually quite a sweet display of patriotism. I

Interesting! It was the exact opposite for me. Couldn't get through Ready Player One, but couldn't quite put my finer on exactly why.

Worth noting that Robin is also the author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore [1] that others around HN would probably find pretty enjoyable. I thought it was quite fun. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Penu

Could someone (perhaps with a throwaway or a 'wink') corroborate or elaborate on this? I'm very curious to know (anecdotally) how the politics of these sales work.
