    You're being a bit gratuitously negative, which is against HN rules, considering the magnitude of the potential impact of this work. Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize. "First-in-the-W…

    You don't permit ticket transfers. Instead you sell tickets back to the venue for the price they were bought. Your tennis buddies would better be ready to buy the ticket from the v…

    Use quadratic post fees. The larger the number of people who try to view a post, the larger the fee becomes or the post stops being viewable. So the fee isn't a one-time fee, but a…
