That’s actually pretty cheap, especially if it delivers on the promises. I spent about $6k on my current setup.

There are essentially no applications that require email. We should just stop doing email verification altogether. If you need to have a separate communication channel with your us…

TCP/IP doesn’t care about your privacy.

I think a large part of the problem is that so much software (like Office) is turning into a service when it doesn’t need to be.

Then we're all doomed. Regulation has proven they have neither the interest nor capability to do anything about it, GDPR being the perfect example which have achieved nothing more …

> If the answer to killing the ad funding business model was individuals pay directly it’s going to face a steep uphill Indeed, we tried that and it failed, so we need something el…

Good luck! I hope you succeed, it’s certainly a goal worth pursuing!

Data will never be stored on blockchains, its not what they’re for. It’s amusing that you’re so vehemently against something you know nothing about.

Monopolies like Google and Facebook exist because of advertising. Remove advertising and they don't exist. The fact that they're processing a lot of data is in large part because t…

If it has dependency on capital investment, it's not blockchain tech. Like almost by definition. Unless you adopt a super dumb idea of "blockchain = linked list". If you're talking…

You are using a very different meaning of centralisation and decentralisation than blockchain people do. That's neither here nor there though. The way you kill Facebook, Google and…

What makes a problem worth solving exactly? How many SaaS businesses do we need? How many todo apps do we need? How many game engines do we need?

Most people don't care about X, so clearly anyone trying to build a product to address X is just a scam.

The idea that blockchain tech is somehow invented out of nothing and then we search for a problem to match couldn't be further from the truth. Talk to anyone who works in the indus…

> The parts of it being uploaded to iCloud, not the whole thing, yes? If you leave your phone on default settings, that’s all of them. In fact you need to turn off a lot of things.…

Apple has caved to china many many times, a quick googling of it will give you a list. The difference between the "old" content scanning and the new is indeed that they are now wil…

To all the people suggesting ad blockers, read the post and look at the image. There is no adblocker in the world that would block this. It’s a suggested video, a feature built spe…

Trusting facebook as the central clearing house for all of our personal data doesn’t seem to have worked out very well.

Why did they stop working?

I’ve been using Matrix with Riot, now Element, for 5 years and it’s only ever gotten worse. You really shouldn’t expect to see improvements.

They sold 10%, so they expect to be in for a few more rounds. Pump and dumpers rarely just aim for one single big cycle, you go in waves for max profit.

Just another reason to have content-adressable storage everywhere, then at least if it changed you’ll know it changed, and if you can’t get the original content anymore then the ch…

So basically they re-invented light clients and checkpointing?

Hahaha really HN? As a Swede this is so ridiculous, I don't think the author has any idea what they're talking about and have done no fact-checking at all. They even contradict the…

This is just a trusted RPC connection right? You're not embedding any sort of light (or otherwise) client? Are you running the nodes on the backend, as opposed to outsourcing to so…
