Interesting, was actually planning on setting up a carshare for our cul-de-sac in Honolulu. This is a great reference, thanks for sharing.
I mean I can't believe I have to say this explicitly but it should be assumed that any data you send to China can and will be used against our interest by the CCP...
interaction needs to be way better. great concept sadly but UX is confusing, difficult to direct my attention and couldn't find sliders when instructed to adjust.

Wow, deflation is becoming so obvious that even the geniuses at Harvard are noticing.

Occam’s razor points to PoW.
In buddhism, "the world" is material, personal, and full of suffering. It is something to let go.
Yes, kind of baffling name choice? I suspect they totally misunderstood the concept as a replenishing / refreshing cycle rather than the self-perpetuating nature of suffering.
This article is a clever way of introducing people to the bitcoin bull's way of seeing the world.
Amazing comment. Wisdom to discern the difference between where you can be agentic and where you can't.
This is a small step in a generally right direction. Should be celebrated!
Can someone qualified give an accurate upper bound to the potential of this innovation?
I've been dying for a tool like this. Just want to sort hacker news by week / months. So I could stop checking everyday. Will give feedback
This generally makes sense to me, but what signifies "significant crimes" besides murder, which is mentioned in the article? I had a friend who was all over the news after being charged with multiple counts of rape and sodomy. He was completely acquitted and the case never went to trial. Still, he'll never clear his name online. That being said, I'm not saying I know what the rules should be.

Figuring exactly this out in my early 20s. The problem is not the productivity framework, the problem is emotional.
This book is incredible. I went from “can’t draw a straight line” to realism in a week. Happy to upload some proofs, haha.
The road to hell is named with good intentions.
Any shorthand Roman alphabet. Saves time and offers not insignificant amount of encryption.
They’ve completely ghosted me on returning my model 3 reservation money as well. After they offered it to me. Never asked.

Former church pipe organist here. I've always thought organ is a great candidate for a digitally manipulated real instrument as playing with precision and feel is NOT dependent on fine motor functions as it is for most keyboard and string instruments.
Press velocity is not correlated with volume- in fact sound is not dependent on a key press at all. Organs don't really require percussive mechanical functions for a full range of control: an idea virtual/real instrument.

hi pavlov! Our token sale was for a complementary platform, matryx. We are very serious about our token and have be chugging full steam ahead with development. Our public alpha is live on testnet and we have established some key partners in EDU including the UC system and Chinese Academy of sciences.
I can't speak for our org. as a whole re: the blockchain hype, but my general feeling is relief. It's now time to focus on what really matters: great projects + people. Sadly, we're an exception for continuing to build during the "winter."
Integrating Matryx into the Nanome interface is a huge priority for us.

Great point, we're implementing haptic feedback in newer builds. I never really thought of how meaningful it could be for describing forcefields. interesting...
Nanome was originally built on Unity. I can't speak to the experience with Steam from a dev perspective, but we did upload our original product to early access almost 3 years ago. The software has an entirely new codebase today. Submissions to other stores like Oculus were much more strenuous and heavily audited.
Our current realtime minimization features are sufficient for smaller designs and adjustments, but binding site interactions and meaningful folds are still a ways out. In the future, Nanome will interact directly with leading folding tools.
