This seems like it may be a victim of the narrative fallacy, trying to make this one simple narrative explain the results of a complex system (the bitcoin market). Everyone has a pet theory as to why bitcoin crashed: regulation, "whale

Fair enough... sorry for taking your post uncharitably. To me that's a bit of a conspiracy, as it would be kind of dishonest to weigh his posts higher.

I'm a simple man: I see something by Sam Altman, I upvote and read it. I suspect many folks on HN (you know, being on a YC site) are the same. This, and HN simply working based on an upvote algorithm, seems much more plausible than the

This is actually largely already true for ebooks! The "Send a Free Sample" button on amazon.com for Kindle simulates this behavior (although you get a bit more than a page, and you obviously know which book you're reading).

This! Einsteinium would apparently cost $33 to attack? Even if it's off by an order of magnitude or two (as some of the other comments seem to suggest), this _still_ seems like something a security researcher could/should try. (No

> This attack’s Monero address has done more than 312.5 XMR so far, valued with more than $90,000 to date. Wow. IMO buried lede. That is... very impressive.

Audiobooks certainly feel like they have much worse retention. To solve this, whenever I listen to an audiobook now, I'll both buy it on Audible and on Kindle. Then, whenever I hear something particularly compelling/important, I q

Interesting! What makes a programming environment "Smalltalk-like" and what are some examples?

I hate to self-promote on HN, but I recently developed a service which should help with this exact problem: https://readwise.io Would love any feedback, if you have it :)

Clippings.io is a great tool for easily exporting Kindle highlights to Evernote, which is quite valuable to many users! We love what you've done, but we're going in a different direction. Thanks for taking the time to create a pr

Hey stpe! Sorry about this -- our site seems to be acting up under this HN traffic. We're looking at it right now and we'll have it fixed soon! Edit: We're back! Sorry about that. Actually seems to have been an upstream issue

Hey jszym, that's our bad. We do mention the extension being required on our landing page (below the fold), but we definitely could make it more clear. Thanks for raising it to our attention. If you like, I can purge our db of your Ama

Good question! We modelled our TOS off others around the web, and I believe that term was somewhat standard. I agree it's quite aggressive though -- we're going to look into modifying it. For our business model, in the short term,

That is indeed correct. We currently only support importing your highlights synced with Amazon's cloud. It's totally possible to also allow you sync with the notes from books on your device, but the UX is a bit worse -- you'v

Hey HN, As self-proclaimed bibliomaniacs, we were pained by how hard it was to revisit and organize our highlights. It would often feel like we'd read a book, have phenomenal new insights, and start to build some mental models, only to
