Re:Ask HN: Help find an old post about someone analysing geolocation data on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @11:36AM (#38278647)
I searched through HN for hours trying every keyword I could think of including 'wife', 'husband', 'dating' etc.

the title of the post was 'How fateful?'. I would have never found it lol

Ask HN: Help find an old post about someone analysing geolocation data

Posted by eligg on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @04:55AM
from the ask-hn dept.

hello, I just remembered reading a blog post on HN with someone analysing geolocation data from his phone and his wife's phone to check if they had ever bumped into each other before actually meeting and getting married.I know it is very vague and highly improbable, I tried to use the search feature but had no success so far. does someone happen to know what I am talking about ? thanks !

Re:Ask HN: Has anyone built a torrent streaming services using Web3? on Thursday January 06, 2022 @08:46AM (#29823443)
plus no ads needed because the website's devs can have an initial amount of tokens that are vested linearly thus incentivising them to mantain the website
Re:Ask HN: Has anyone built a torrent streaming services using Web3? on Thursday January 06, 2022 @08:42AM (#29823395)
instead of having a web3 Popcorn time, why do torrent websites not adapt a tokenised model to increment the number of seeders? could not seeders become sort of miners where they get some sort of token by hosting files? And leechers would need to pay a low amount of tokens to download some files therefore increasing the value of those tokens and incentivising further file hosting? furthermore, people who post content would need to lock some amount of tokens (and receive some profit based on the number of downloads) but in case the content they post is insecure they can be slashed. the number of tokens they lock determines the index of the result after a search. so more tokens locked = higher in the ranking. by slashing the accounts who post files containing viruses, this would make the files hosted on the website way safer.

gwern posted his rss feed which i think it is very interesting.

it includes a lot of rss links and they are all divided by category.

you can find it at this page https://www.gwern.net/Changelog (ctl+f "rss").
