I'm not sure this is a good idea for enterprise startups building closed-sourced software. As a software architect, some things you just don't delegate. Code Reiews are some of the most important things I do. But (and please do

In the world of web 2.0, that's probably true. Paying people in hearts rarely translates to a viable business model. In the world of Web 3.0. It might not be true. Smart contracts builds a way for creators to realize a larger share

Not to mention the CEO spent more time talking about how this is impacting HIM. When you're laying people off, this isn't about you. Noone cares about you, this is about the people getting laid off. You need to be concerned abo

The last time I suggested domains should be NFT's managed by a DAO i got a boat load of downvotes. But you have to admit, ENS's community governance model is superior to this. Its nice that domain owners have a vote in decision

As a donator, it would be important to me that my money is being used for new projects which tie into or improve the core product. Or at least be 100% transparent that it's not.

Is $2 a signature really a big hurdle? If i'm paying a lawer a thousand dollars to write a contract, I really don't care about $2 to sign it.

I think Crypto is a bunch of things to a bunch of people. Some see it as a fun way to make a quick buck, some see it as an alternative to gold in a time with unusual inflation of the dollar. I see it as the future of the web. There's

I'm vaccinated, I wear an N95 mask when I go out. I try to be reasonable. But this comment is exactly why I think crypto is important. There are too many people now questioning the basic tenets of our liberal democracy. When I watch

Not all crypto is money. ETH for example (which will soon be proof of stake... and more energy efficient) could be considered more accurately as a really large (but relatively slow) computer that never turns off. This plus infrastructure

I'm really bullish on NFT's (for example I think I'd feel a lot more confident if my ebook or streaming library was a series of NFT's as opposed to some entries in a database owned by Amazon. I'd actually own it an

Smart contract dev is a lot more like hardware development then software development. You kind of have to get it right out the door the first time. Our tooling here is perhaps inadequate.

NFT's let you own digital assets. That means people can make a real living building them.

There needs to be many metaverses, and NFT's should be able to be shared between them. It's dangerous to think about the prospect of a major company like Facebook (Or a DAO for that matter) locking up the entire universe.

I 100% believe a metaverse is a large part of the future, but I desperately hope its decentralized, open source, and not controlled by Facebook.

I think you need both. Small decentralized topic specific forums are important. But, without a larger community people tend to not realize the outside world may not share the same opinions. That leads to this tribalist attitude of hatred

HN is not a single person, it's a community with a variety of members with a variety of opinions. The fact that communities tend to form consensus of opinions, especially such as subreddits, is kind of a major issue.

Web 3.0 offers the best solution to this. Web 2.0 companies, and the people that control them are just going to continue reaching for more control of the data we create, and give them for free. It's a problem that a small group of el
