I imagine the audience crossover between crypto and HN is quite high.

BAYC gave rights to NFT owners, and that's why they became the example. Larva Labs / Punks is doing it wrong IMO.

EOS tried to use on-chain Ricardian Contracts and pair that with upgradeable smart contracts in C++ with DPoS consensus so that intent-of-code could be enforced. That's pretty "rea…

Pokemon will enter the NFT digital collectibles space, and it would be absolute crazy if they don't already have a team working on it. All of these collectors are making assumption…

Transfers are not necessarily sales. Transaction fees for the Topps MLB cards on WAX, for example, are only taken during the sale when the sale occurs on a secondary Atomic Asset m…

Our small team spends roughly $40-50k/mo at AWS. If you're just hosting a website with a SQL database (glorified LAMP stack), you're probably in it for the wrong reasons. Stick to …

As we head into the post-truth era, we already know videos are going to become far less trusted due to deep fake tech. Finding grains of truth through cryptography, like DKIM, is s…

You know that's not what I meant. Let's chat again when you've executed and launched five unique revolutionary companies.

If someone was to Elon Musk the shi* out of this problem, what would they build or do differently? My gut is that it would focus on plastic identification automation, but not posit…

You can get a $5-10 Million loan for 14 employees at a nail salon? https://pppreport.org/company/snappy+nails+s+p+a+9+inc Damn.

I don't frequent /r/wsb, but the onus should not be on the SEC to clamp down on a community, it should be on the service the "significant young people" are using to execute satiric…

Once you open the email, a tracking pixel will fire (usually an tag), which is far more useful to the email marketer. Unsubscribe is your best bet as honoring opt-outs are protecte…

Annoying for sure, but one benefit of this approach is due to forwarding. For the moment, let's assume you have a newsletter you enjoy. If you forward an instance of that newslette…

We've had "Add List-Unsubscribe Header" on Trello for a long time, but for some reason I had it in my mind that there was a ~60 character limit. I appreciate the post because after…

UBI (in the U.S.) would be like printing more shares of a publicly-traded stock and giving all of the new stock to the employees of the company. USD is the reserve currency, so for…

We spend ~$50k/mo on serverless infrastructure on AWS. It hurts sometimes, given we were fully colocated about 4 years back, and I know how much hardware that could buy us every mo…

A few months before COVID-19 broke out, I started working with the founder of a platform called eTAP, which the founder first build about 20 years ago. We haven't begun the platfor…

*No, not bicep curls.

Could you spoof the car to exit and continue thinking you were still on a freeway? A car being spoofed into thinking it was still on a freeway, while driving on city streets, might…

Every ticket I've ever created on the paid Developer support plan was within the "24 hour" and "12 hour" windows for guidance and system impaired issues. However, always always alw…

Pro tip: just get in an accident while distracted, and you'll never want to do it again.

Largely impacted by this outage was how it affected those who use Facebook Login as a convenient OAuth option. Good thing for developers to remember if someone asks them to avoid a…

I wouldn't say it was a death sentence. Maybe it depends on strong word-of-mouth reputation, but I'd prefer to buy one online without ever stepping onto a sales floor. From their o…

Company I work for was using an email verification service for the first time. We have a lot of brands, so I was being my white hat self and checking it out before we risked import…

"Of course the mother doesn't HAVE to take time off - just do a planned c section on a Saturday and she can be back to work on Monday." This isn't based on reality. Recovery time f…
