Today, most of the pure de-centralized app run on the browser or locally. Are you looking at something similar to naming service which is decentralized. like Ethereum Naming Service & Blockstack Naming Service.
Re:Ask HN: What data do alternative blockchains store? on Monday August 24, 2020 @06:11AM (#24259151)
Blockchain has to be seen as a protocol is multiple layers. The transactions and ownership related data on stored on layer 0 or on chain. Anything to do with personal data or user data is stored on layer 1. Projects like Blockstack follows similar architecture. There are DApps available with non financial use-case.

It's interesting to know about ICP. Are there any apps being run on Dfinity?
Re:Lessons from my third failed startup on Monday July 20, 2020 @04:54AM (#23896007)
Time spent on early stage operations drains time and resources. Well, I was there. I closed my first crypto firm last week. The reason was that the focus was on the company rather than on the product being built. I didn't launch on time and eventually lost access to market due to central bank ban.

Is the decentralization with respect ownership of email boxes?

Who runs privacy-watchdog? Is it authentic? Is this a propaganda that big-tech firms want to spread that privacy is dead?
I really like the approach. How much does it cost in dollars or in euros for design service in Africa? I'm currently taking help from Fiverr.

Re:Circle of Competence: Avoid Ambiguity Traps on Monday June 29, 2020 @04:06PM (#23682057)
This is a growing affirmation from all around to tell you do what you are good at, while you are actually just mediocre and trying to figure out what you want to do.

What's life when we don't try new things and live like flowing water. Competence is a sham.

Wow. It's so good to eyes. Can this also be used as a background on the website? Would it be a good option?

Interesting one. Like the correlation between recession and Corona search.
Re:Zeigarnik Effect on Friday September 13, 2019 @03:12PM (#20965346)
Didn't know there is word for it. Thank you for sharing. I see that quite often in me. I guess it is primarily as seen in Gestalt principle we are looking at the closure of tasks like patterns.
Re:The speed reading fallacy: the case for slow reading on Wednesday September 11, 2019 @03:37PM (#20943841)
I have always felt read slow helps you make connections intentionally and helps in better retention. Slow reading is an intentional choice. But it is a choice between when to do or not. With so much information around today through various mediums, speed reading/skimming helps to go through information quickly to get an understanding if you have to proceed further or not. I guess we switch between both of these modes time to time based on how important the information we are taking in.
