I think you should adhere to the HN guidelines and not make such unsubstantiated claims.

I'm the author of the parent comment and I haven't compared FB to e.g. a category like web3. Re-read it. I pointed out the unfairness of assuming that "everyone arguing for web3 is an investor" while simultaneously ignor

If you've been following crypto currencies' history, you'll be aware that weakly decentralized (read: centralized) attempts always fall prey to decentralized protocols. The underlying principle is that a process controlled by

It's because you're comparing a company to a category. If I were to say that Coinbase and Uniswap have a clear value prop but AI doesn't, it also wouldn't make much sense as I'm not comparing apples to apples.

Yeah. But I also think that e.g. ex-addicts like Mike from The Nightshift or the German equivalent Montana Black: They have an energy that others on these platforms don't have. They're street smart and probably less constraint in

For me it's just cringe. Imagine a VC would start selling hash trees to programmers. That's the feeling that his blog post invokes.

For fairness then I think we should consider that everyone that is anti web3 and has no crypto might have too much Google and FB stock according to your logic?

I registered neoactuary.com one day as I wanted to start this weird mixture of HN + finance/math etc.

At least for money transmission use cases that's a rather weak argument considering that my local bank calls me in person to confirm transactions above 2k EUR.

In the merkle tree committment example, I don't think it allows identifiying e.g. a fraudulent rollback just from looking at the hash. If you wanted to identify a fraudulent rollback, I think you had to constantly replicate all transit

I went on their website and tried to understand how immutability is enforced but I couldn't find anything. I'm sceptical, but particularly because they make a deliberate comparison to blockchain that I doubt they'll be able t

I loved Lex Friedman and Brandon Eich this year. I was astonished by the intellect and wisdom of Eich. I always understood him to be rather smart inventing JS in a matter of days, but his insight in the history of the web paint an even more

I'm depressed about rC3. I totally get that we can't meet up in person and hack all day but this year I've been so unexcited about rC3 that I didn't even bother to get a (free) ticket. Of course, I value everybody's

Isn't it obvious that an underpriviledged person has more authority in the domain of being underpriviledged than a differently-priviledged person?

I'd recommend learning by doing. Working with clients is not different than working with e.g. your boss except that both of you are equal on deontic and epistemic authority. You'll get better at working with clients through experi

Seems you haven't read the article as he never mentions not liking his timeline. His criticism is conceptually way beyond the Twitter timeline.
