I think there's also the opposite – there are a number of places in large marathons allocated for "good for age" entrants, which I would guess are more likely to be taken up by peo…

I have been considering the latter (accolades and/or naming things after tax-payers) as something that is severely under-utilised in most places.

Yeah, but you opt in, and you receive a share of it (in their altcoin) if you do.

I agree with his point about the films being a snapshot of history, but the examples of ET and Roald Dahl highlight for me the issue. Dahl’s language isn’t very friendly, and the g…

This is great!

Your story is true, but I think this is far too broad a loss to be something like that, even providing a smokescreen. An article I wrote has been lost, and there's nothing controve…

I think this was true in the past, but communities like Premodern, cEDH and, of course, Old School, have managed to sidestep this issue: in the case of Premodern and Old School by …

This is absolutely incredible. Love this technology.

This is really cool!

It’s done Flashback Standard a few times, with preconstructed decks. I forget whether you have a choice over decks. They’re really fun if you have the nostalgia, but for newer play…

This is an excellent point. I think the point that the article is trying to make is that people's motivations are divided and we can't expect to change them. If we can find ways to…

I agree with a number of the comments here that this is a false dichotomy in terms of the technology itself (as mypastself says, Nanofabrication and fusion reactors are both “cool”…

Ironically, while this is a very data-driven piece of research, the fact that it chimes with how most people (especially within the HN crowd) 'feel' will make it more persuasive! I…

Excellent article - narratively compelling but also very interesting!

Yup, I’ll take the L here. I guess I did do that. I thought it was different because I wasn’t really making assumptions about segaboy81’s character, but I can see how it’s similar …

Thanks, I hope I do too. The last two years have been tough for a lot of people, but I’m a work in progress. I hope you find happiness, dominotw.
