I think a lot of these concepts are fun/interesting, but I like that email today functions more like a mailbox than WhatsApp or Telegram. Whilst digital (or paper) spam is obnoxiou…

As someone still smarting from the loss of Google Domains, I would consider this advice carefully. When domains are not the profit center the company might just arbitrarily turn th…

This is really cool, time to dust off an old PowerPC. I've been thinking about building apps for old Mac OS versions for a while with the advent of LLMs, glad to see someone is doi…

Yes, same. I am now really curious for someone to culture bread tags, milk tops and fruit stickers.

...and further imagine the science that could be done if we mass manufactured probes rather than using experimental engineering for each one. We could have had dozens of Voyager pr…

Agreed. Phrases like "journalists are currently gooning over OpenAI and Anthropic" really put me off. It's a poor attempt at modern muckraking; cheeky yet offering little substance…

It's difficult to take articles like this seriously when they use hyperbole like "...the most evil industry the planet has ever seen [oil]", never mind things like chattel slavery.…

Worse yet, you might not have a choice; the article notes that “sprinklers are already required in all new California homes built in 2011 and later.”

I've found that releasing and maintaining production Android apps has become more difficult in the last decade as compared to iOS which (surprisingly) has improved slightly. Google…

Make rice and beans, accept founders, hire batch partners and launch founders via demo day...to take over the universe.

United sadly removed games from its in-flight entertainment so I can no longer trounce 6 year old Magnus.

One simple solution here (and for all sorts of legislated fines and thresholds) would be to tie them to inflation; it looks like the fine of $5,000 dates to the early 90s.

I'm Cameron, one of the founders at Arx Research. Last year we launched Burner, an easy to use and low cost NFC-based hardware wallet that supports Ethereum and Bitcoin. This week …

I'm playing with modifying a BitAxe design ( https://github.com/bitaxeorg ) by allowing for more chips on a single board. It's theoretically pretty simple, but locating a buck that…

I'm toying around with a custom board and searching here is far better than shuffling through the old Digikey filters. Awesome!

Hello HN! Late last year we launched Burner, a low cost Ethereum hardware wallet for gifting crypto. It's a card-sized wallet that generates and stores cryptocurrency keys with no …

Huh, an arbitrary tax from a remote sovereign. Sounds familiar.

Congratulations on the launch! Stablecoins are a powerful use of blockchains and it’s great to see a novel means of distributing them. A lot of commenters on HN are deeply biased a…

Honestly, X is such a cool prefix I would opt for this batch. It sounds like you are part of some skunkworks batch. The "F" batches are a bit confusing due to the YC Fellowships eo…

I've heard about these systems, and they indeed sound really cool. Unfortunately living in a 50 year old home with a patchwork of poorly sized ducts, no attic and a tiny crawlspace…

I want the nuclear future with practically emission free power that's 'too cheap to meter'. I want to stop caring about SEER ratings and be able to leave windows cracked all season…

Coins get you into more trouble than cards :)

No, great question. We offer an open source SDK library that can interface with chips today ( https://github.com/arx-research/libhalo ) and will open source the web app. Both would…

Maybe, but our first customers are people who want to gift crypto.
