We do need a base layer of human verification for several reasons that will make themselves clear in the coming years. Can we maybe try that with a system of IRL humans and inheren…

Excited to see the renewed interest in Servo. Another new web engine that is coming along nicely is SerenityOS LibWeb: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/.…

It looks like this is about protecting your "web3" web application, not your individual self. In that context it's probably fine advice.

Please, stop doing that. You won't get anywhere by saying all other major projects that occupy the same space as Bitcoin are scams. You're not helping bitcoin by doing that. You're…

Wait, so crypto is a useless ponzi scheme UNLESS it is using a proof-of-work scheme based on churning text/image models? None of the existing uses made sense until you integrated A…

People who oppose fascism; then again, they plan to dismantle the Internet too, and I hope we start talking about meshnets as a counter to that.

Realistically I think you're right; I probably have my conspiracy cap on too tight, but it's too perfect to me that the group of people who will soon need crypto the most are being…

I felt like I was in crazy town, trying to tell people that crypto is actually something that helps many people, always getting shot down with absurd dogma like "crypto has no use …

I expected a bit better of someone who faced a lot of anti-Wayland dogma, which I noted as being very similar to anti-cryptocurrency dogma, most of which I am seeing repeated for t…

I hate SMS too, but I think this decision will hurt Signal infinitely more than it will hurt SMS. By that I mean it will not affect SMS at all and only Signal.

4chan has nowhere near the influence over children that TikTok does. Maybe a /pol/ thread gets 500 replies or something, while Cobra Tate (a sex trafficker who went viral by openly…

I'm using typebox to validate my JWT payloads in an app I'm working on. Someone showed me this thread while I was working, so I gave it a shot: export const CLAIM_PAYLOAD_SCHEMA = …

I added "gender" (an IANA registered JWT claim) to my JWT payload schema and found Copilot will not provide any suggestions after that. Not on the same line, nor in the rest of the…

I see it as a kind of gold, or perhaps in a less cliche way of putting it, a sovereign unit of account. I call it easier because it can be handled entirely digitally with no great …

Good catch, but assuming evading capital controls is crime, then this becomes a debate of victimless crime. Under normal circumstances, it's not victimless, because it can hurt the…

I'll take your word for it that Kasparov may be unfortunately engaged in shady dealings, but I maintain that this should not condemn cryptocurrency tech. I don't imagine the recent…

Are there any resources to read about Russia's use of cryptocurrency during wartime? It seems purely hypothetical at this stage. I thought, like China, they would ultimately ban it…

Read the article looking for any mention of Peter Thiel, couldn't find one. Tried Ctrl+F for thiel, no results. Cryptocurrency isn't all about Peter Thiel. Plenty of people want to…

This gives me hope that the techbro contrarian letters/essays led by the same 3 people will finally get the opposition they deserve.

My favorite thing about this is how the founder was so confident the algorithmic (sketchy) UST would completely disrupt the overcollateralized (fully backed) DAI: https://twitter.c…

> I would read her site even if I were on the other side of the argument It's been a great resource to confirm that I'm not falling for the most obvious scams (like NFTs or BNB cha…

This post briefly came across the Planet Scheme aggregated RSS feed, but I think it was omitted because it's not Scheme-related. https://planet.scheme.org/atom.xml Also, I like the…

I wish I could be this positive and resourceful on this topic. It just gives me the urge to write a passive-aggressive tirade against the unfounded (almost manufactured) hate again…

Those are all okay because they don't use an openly replicated linked list with byzantine fault tolerance. The ones using an openly replicated linked list with byzantine fault tole…

I think there's some opportunity, if this doesn't already exist, to make some decentralized (WebRTC, with centralized fallback) way of synchronizing localStorage across multiple de…
