Sitting alone, laughing in a coffee shop while reading this. Good start to the morning. I enjoyed Dune, and believe it should win best picture. Partly because I haven’t seen the other movies mentioned. After learning about the coughgeist, I

This author based its entire argument around the idea that crypto is a scam, but then says I’m not going to explain why crypto is a scam. Whether you think it’s a scam or not, it’s just not good writing. Really weird article.

Top end Skins in Fortnite cost ~$20 each. However, on the after market they go for many $100’s. The difference is accessibility and optionality in the digital world. I could absolutely see people spend more on digital goods than physical go

Coinbase hired a new CMO. When that CMO joined, she decided to go with a different agency. A QR Code in a commercial is not novel, making the entire commercial a QR code is. Sounds like Martin Agency presented a commercial with QR codes, no

Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, wrote a long Reddit comment I read in January about the high risk of bridges, and why he doesn’t support them. The fundamental security limits of bridges are actually a key reason why while I am optimi

I canceled my Spotify subscription for YouTube music. People will leave Spotify if they continue hurting their UX trying to mesh music and podcasts.

I recently switched to YouTube music from Spotify. I was a heavy Spotify member for many many years. I can’t deal with Spotify inserting podcasts into the music listening experience. Music and podcasts are two different use cases for me. I

The best resource I found is Cory Shafer on YouTube. I went through his Python for beginners series, and truly engaged with it. It’s fantastic if you’re willing to put in the time to practice & take notes. After going through his beginn

I learned Python. (and continue to learn) I’m not a developer, and have no plans to become one. I’m a product manager, so my initial reason for starting was so I could better communicate with developers regarding effort and ideas. But I als

Yes, it’s a concern. But that doesn’t mean unfair advantages and cheating doesn’t occur in other esports. Anyway, I don’t think we’re disagreeing on chess cheating. For me, the small chance someone is cheating doesn’t ruin the esport for me

Sure, but this isn’t an easy way to cheat. The original commenter say it’s easy to cheat at chess. While potentially possible, I wouldn’t consider building a ML model to mimic your own play an ‘easy’ cheat method. I’d also say building a mo

Its easy to cheat, but also easy to get caught. You can’t cheat yourself to a high score. The same engines that people cheat with are the same engines used to detect cheating. If you’re using an engine to play your moves, you’ll be caught v

I disagree. Meta updates take away from the enjoyment for me. Id much rather watch competitors competing on 100% equal terms, without any developed advantage other than one created through the competitors skill. Rocket league is a fantastic

Why do people on HN assume that if they don’t find something valuable, others shouldn’t either. I think of NFTs like car titles. Having the car title in your name is the only way to prove you own a car. Someone can burrow your car, and have

Uber pays drivers a substantial amount through bonuses which are categorized as marketing and advertising. Your claim that they could operate without marketing is saying Uber could operate without drivers. Without bonuses, they would lose a

I couldn’t agree more. I’m a massive music fan and podcast listener. Spotify had been my go to for music, but the combination of podcast and music has absolutely killed my experience. I love both, but when I’m listening to music, I don’t wa

As a product manager, spreadsheets have been an incredible asset to build products when I had limited resources and to iterate quickly. When we had no front-end devs available - we used Googles sheets API, connected our spreadsheets to our

Hi Jesse - It sounds as though we are aligned with the existing problem, and the approach. Very interested to talk more. Mind shooting me an email? (My email is listed above in the parent comment)

Explain why - Is this because you don't have interest in it, or do you have a true justification of this? I'm willing to take this bet. Just like art, 99% can be bought for $1 at a garage sale, but there will be the 1% that has va

Yeah, I use crypto for purchases quite frequently. From hotel rooms to supplements.

I’ve used it to buy things. Back in the day, I wanted to support bitcoin so I paid 1 Bitcoin, equivalent of $150 at the time, on a single night at a hotel. I learned my lesson, at today’s price, that one night stay cost me $60,000. And this
