Im not a crypto person, but I was intrigued by Chia. They generate their coins based on allocating disk space. So if you have a bit of free space, you can fill it with plots and pl…

I think this is going on my list of things I want to try. I have some feedback, but need to qualify it with a warning that I've barely used any AI beyond simple chat bots. This is …

I wonder how it works and how much heavy lifting "supervising" is doing. Whenever I try to use AI, the outcome is about the same. It's good at non-critical things like logging or b…

Who should own the context? Imagine having 20 years of context / memories and relying on them. Wouldn't you want to own that? I can't imagine pay-per-query for my real memories and…

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on having a PWA vs regular mobile apps since it looks like you started with a PWA, but are moving to regular apps. Is that just a demand / e…

I've used https://historio.us since 2011 and still pay for it to keep access to all the pages I've archived over the years. The price has been kept low enough that I can't bring my…

The exact pricing isn’t disclosed. All they do is tell you the price will be “higher”. Anyone registering a premium domain is getting higher than uniform renewal pricing, so whatev…

> .com itself is under jurisdiction of USA and operated by Verisign Barely. The NTIA gave up all their leverage over .com in 2018. The only thing the US can do at this point is let…

It's going to be interesting to see what they do. One of the core arguments when claiming the domain industry enjoys a competitive market is that switching costs are bearable and t…

> They can't target popular domains for discriminatory pricing. That's not completely accurate. Section 2.10c of the base registry agreement says the following in relation to the u…

I think that once you have domains as an identity, you can solve a lot of problems with the idea of 'just add money'. If $1000 gets me a gold check mark, it changes the economics o…

The platform owners have spent two decades de-emphasizing domains, so it's not too surprising that most people struggle to understand how they work. I think that can change with ed…

> since there's no authoritative, authenticated unique name system across indices Domains provide a globally unique namespace and ownership can be verified automatically with domai…

You can see the same thing starting to happen in the domain industry. Registries are buying pricing data rather than setting their own prices, so high-value keywords end up having …

Wow. I can honestly say I'm surprised it makes that suggestion. That's great! I don't understand how it gets there though. How does it "know" that's the right thing to suggest when…

> Wouldn't you say the same thing for most of the people? Most of the people suck at verifying truth and reasoning. Even "intelligent" people make mistakes based on their biases. I…

I think first year premium pricing makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure what the average time to sell is for a domain investor, but say it's 10 years for an easy example. If you go f…

Domains are the ultimate identity system for building a more trustworthy internet without handing over control to some kind of verified ID scheme or being forced into publishing yo…

> When I see a billboard or print ad with e.g. `example.travel`, I read that as a social media handle and not a website address like `example.com` would convey. This is where I thi…

It's the registries not the registrars that classify some domains as premium. I think they're a risky product because you don't even get the limited price protections provided by s…

Yeah, if the commit record acts like an audit log I think there’s a lot of value. I wonder how hard it is to get the exact environment used to build an artifact. I’m a big fan of t…

> I believe you that token uploads will continue to be possible, but it seems likely that in a couple of years trusted publishing & attestations will be effectively required for al…

I don't use PyPI and only skimmed the docs. I think what you're saying here makes sense, but I also think others posting have valid concerns. As a package consumer, I agree with wh…

I think I might be the only one that prefers Docker for building Docker containers using CI. I use Drone, but instead of using the Docker plugin I start a detached (background) Cad…

If you want a simple example of how important good regulators are, look at the NTIA / DoC's handling of the .com cooperative agreement in 2018. The US gave up control of the most i…
