    Okay so how do you solve for calendar inbox integration?

    Was just thinking about this deeply, so I’m glad I ran into this! On that note, any particular ideas on note taking as part of this learning process? Is it even necessary or is it …

    My thesis on this revolves around the idea of "brands." I wrote about it more in depth here: https://www.robertchung.me/people-dont-understand-nfts

    Twitter, if they build their verification correctly, should determine NFT's sovereignty via the smart contracts, not the chains. Thus, CryptoPunks will only exist on one chain & on…

    Except you can't, practically speaking--as the price is baked into the "brand".

    That’s only because the infrastructure for it isn’t there yet. Doesn’t mean it won’t eventually happen

    I agree with you on the physical components but you’re missing the point. If you’ve read the article you’d understand physical goods are different than digital ones. Look at the fo…

    Author here; I agree, and this is something I've been wrestling for years. The lack of centralization means it's impossible to reverse hacks or scenarios you mentioned--I personall…

    I think "baseball cards" is a limited view of the NFT model, which is what's being argued in this article; it's essentially a programmable, global database. Just like how we trust …

    Author here. Again, this is where "branding" comes in. Once people know which smart-contract is the real one, putting another transaction won't work. Sure, some people may fall for…

    I worked on this feature when I was at Amazon—and the demographic we were after were mostly government & some non-profit organizations. The biggest thing with these orgs were that …

    Have you gotten invited? Do you perhaps have an invite you can send me?

    This is a fascinating concept, but I wonder how it can impact the overall culture of a startup. More and more, I’m inclined to believe that the initial group (say, first 10-15 empl…

    I am using media queries—while they work, they’ll flash the “unadapted” version depending on what component is rendered first. The alternative is to add some kind of loading aspect…

    I did something very similar recently with my website. With that said, I would not do it again. For doing something—seemingly so simple, the infrastructure work was a pain. Also, w…
