Are you saying that you see crypto as a possible solution to this problem? Can you elaborate at all on that?
Perhaps you forgot about the significance of life?

Kudos to you for not having strong opinions. Is there ANY place you recommend for information in this space?

HN seems to be very negative towards crypto currency in general lately. Disappointing really.

Agreed. The article also made me think a little too... I mean there must be some seriously... Um, dedicated, people out there working on this stuff, and somehow it trundles along, and the end result is pretty damn good. Life I guess.
Re:Does anyone remember websites? on Monday November 06, 2017 @02:49AM (#15633968)
Have you never noticed that all the really good sites you 'find' have been because someone posted the link? For example in a comment on HN, or reddit. Or a related link on Wikipedia or the sidebar of a subreddit?
Re:Does anyone remember websites? on Monday November 06, 2017 @02:42AM (#15633945)
I agree! I'd never thought of using tor, but I had very similar ideas about an engine that doesn't index a site if it has ads, etc. I had an idea of using a delayed response in order to lessen the hardware requirements. So a user submits a query, then checks back later for a response. A little bit like a traditional library, haha! Anyway, i'm really glad to hear others are doing similar stuff, I think there is a market. The info is out there, it's just lost in a sea of noise.

It's not clear exactly which video gave the paradigm shift...can anyone enlighten me?
Nice 'diesel gate' style hack.
Re:Updates to DevTools in Chrome 62 on Saturday October 14, 2017 @12:58AM (#15470853)
I like Firefox too, but chrome still displays JSON objects in the console very nicely. I haven't found a good way to do this in FF yet. Do you know of a way?
That's awesome. Love the process.
Re:Non-determinism: a sublanguage rather than a monad on Thursday September 21, 2017 @03:57PM (#15306816)
Makes sense, thanks. Hard thing for me is finding the texts that match my impedance.

So the 'stupid linalg book' was the turning point? What am I missing here?
All at the expense of our future. Consumers are generally ignorant to what the real costs are.
Re:uBlock Origin Maintainer on Chrome vs. Firefox WebExtensions on Wednesday August 09, 2017 @06:47PM (#14974473)
Here's hoping! We need a privacy oriented browser that's kickass for dev work as well.
Re:Job applicants over 40 filtered out by employers on Monday June 26, 2017 @01:27AM (#14634307)
This is great advice I think. We are not necessarily suited to the social norms in play around us. Also, reminds me of fight club
Re:Reddit Is Raising Funds at a Valuation of $1.7B on Saturday June 17, 2017 @07:50AM (#14575457)
Can you clarify what you mean by submissions from independent blogs? You seem to be saying that the new users are bots or something from media/marketing ? Or am i reading too much iwmto this...
Re:Reddit Is Raising Funds at a Valuation of $1.7B on Saturday June 17, 2017 @07:45AM (#14575441)
This thread is full of comments that at first seem appropriate, but quickly reveal to be utter fluff/rubbish. Count this comment in that category too.
Awesomely Malicious Protocol

What platform are you using? Do you pay for each trade?
