You said
> Nothing about blockchains, DLTs, crypto, at its core is a scam to me
Which I took as an implication that you didn’t see Tether as a deeply troubling or a scam

How have you done a deep dive on Tether and not seen it as deeply troubling?

The most interesting part to me is that you can enable and track paypal donations between third-parties with just the e-mail. I thought you needed to go through their APIs.

I love Kierkegaard and I agree that it can be really hard to figure out what he is trying to say. I wouldn't have gotten nearly as much from his writing if it wasn't for supplementary material.

You're right, TIL is "today I learned". I was inspired by a previous HN post where someone made a repo of short memos about things they had learned https://github.com/jbranchaud/til

How do you call the most recently defined macro? I just have Q bound to @q, but if I could make it more general that would be awesome.

Cool design, the y-meter reminds me a lot of the hubwheel we have at hubski[1]. In that vein you could remove the up arrow on the left side of the feed and differentiate on the y-meter itself whether or not you've clicked it.

Ask HN: Is there a model for a healthy, long-term API policy
The APIs of companies like Twitter and Facebook seem to have a history of complaints from developers as they constantly change to the detriment of devs and the benefit of the company. There seems to be a cycle of openness at the start to encourage growth and then after some time the company with the API starts to make it more strict and tightens how devs can use it.With all the lessons over the...

If you just want to explore some of the content without following any users or tags you can use the links in the nav bar, in particular the badges[1], tags[2], and community[3] links. You can also use the different hubwheels to see all of the posts with the same number of shares (the dots on the hubwheel, ranging from 0 to 8).

Hubski is based off of news.arc and the arc server doesn't make clean URLs easy, at least not that I've seen yet.

We have following and blocking of users and domains over at hubski (originally an hn clone) and it works pretty well. In particular being able to completely block someone from your feed and/or prevent them from commenting on your posts.

You can add a torrent to the client without seeding it; I tested this myself [1]. I could see the author preparing the torrents ahead of time before uploading the torrent files and starting to seed them. At that point the client would still indicate when he added the torrent.

Reddit has a history of apologizing for witch hunts. What's going to stop this from happening again? Nothing. They just hope that, "Boston will also be where reddit learns to be sensitive of its own power." I'm sure that will solve itself.

I'd like to know as well, but from what I've seen just watching the top apps is that the people who make the most money have in-app purchases. Part of it probably also has to do with marketing, I don't know if the author of this article did a lot of advertising or promotion, but it is important.
