Ask HN: Does Microsoft pose a risk for private GitHub repositories?
I currently have a product codebase that is privately hosted on my own VPS. Historically, Microsoft hasn't liked my product. I received a C&D several years ago because Microsoft fe…

It sounds like you spent 4 years building a product before you even knew if anyone would use it. That's a terrible idea, but a good learning experience. I wouldn't give up (perhaps…

I'll be blunt. 1. Take all of the side projects that are too niche and/or unsellable and polish up the code then open source it (add it to your portfolio/resume). 2. Take the proje…

Maybe some day we'll have a PIR-based[1] search engine-- but then you couldn't harvest data on your users and sell personalized ads, so maybe not. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

It came after the first wave of SPAs and if we listed every SPA framework (or "library") we'd be here all day.

Coding is quite subjective. When I examined the early bitcoin code (the one Satoshi wrote and shared). The C++ code looked pretty sloppy and amateur-ish. The comments were odd and …

^ I think you'll enjoy the paper's deep dive. It goes into the references deeply!

I believe Satoshi was a cypherpunk and a remailer dev. Cypherpunks had a history of doing things anonymously on the mailing list and even trying to out one another (a sort of game)…

Those are weak pieces of evidence. Meredith appears to be telling the truth. She didn't say Len wasn't Satoshi, she simply said to the best of her knowledge he wasn't. That doesn't…

SPAs were a psyop by FAANG companies to gain a monopoly and mind-share of developer talent. Are you team Google (Angular)? Meta (React)? Are you a hipster (Ember)? From there thing…

Len was a Macbook user, but he would not have done Bitcoin on his personal laptop. It's much more likely he used available PCs in a computer lab on the campus he studied/worked at,…

Satoshi stepped away from Bitcoin in 2010 and handed over the project to the maintainers. Len started posting about Bitcoin in 2010 (post Satoshi handing the project over). It seem…

I don't think it's a legal issue. People want to know who it was and credit where it's due. Satoshi didn't do anything wrong but distributed consensus was finally solved (or so it …

If you want a detailed look at all of the Satoshi evidence (circumstantial and others), check out this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.10257v14.pdf If you want the TLDR; the meat…
