Content aggregators are insufficient though. The problem we have is not one of curation which is what HN or Reddit does. The actual problem is the lack of strcture and searchability/discovery. Even on HN once something fades off of the

Hi Peter, Thanks for doing this. As far as I know, the IEP structure has no clear path to permanent residency like some of the other options. Is that your understanding as well or am I missing something here?

You´re right in the short term. But in the long term the hope is that things average out and true value emerges as a function of countless transactions over years and years. Markets are a value ascribing heuristic machine. There is nothing

Question: What operations are being done on the client side that requires that much speed? Why is speed even a concern in this case? With modern hardware and the type of applications I am familiar with (rendering tens of thousands of financ

This is one of the most important problems to solve hands down. And not just for environmental reasons. I live alone and produce mountains of waste even though I consume very little. Every item I buy comes wrapped in unneccessary amounts of
