    Curious too. Let me know if you try it out. Technically I think it should work.

    Ask HN: What tech/products use cryptography to achieve something novel?

    1. not looking for any blockchain projects. 2. Can be products that failed or don’t exist anymore, products that exist today, or conceptual products that don’t have an implementati…

    In John wick, they use commodore computer and dial phones for security purposes, reminds me of that :)

    The document says it’s network protocol agnostic because it only focuses on decentralizing the data layer, so it might be possible to use vapor on top of IPFS in addition to HTTP

    Maybe wallets can implement an identity system (either as a standard or through federation among vapor nodes)?

    As someone who tries to position oneself as someone with all the wisdom in the world, you sure are acting immature, closing your statement with "okthxbye" type comment. Also, "You'…

    any success is a success as long as you truly believe it was a success deep inside. Which means the people you're talking about are all success cases. You don't have to be a househ…

    The reason why your advice is not as useful as you think is because chances are, if you google around, most of that lesson would be already out there. Don't take this the wrong way…

    you're right i'm being cynical, because i genuinely believe you have not much to learn from people who have failed but haven't succeeded yet. That said, there are PLENTY of success…

    it's refreshing to see someone who actually successfully scaled a company write an article about "here's how we did it", instead of bunch of failed entrepreneurs who write medium p…

    You're missing the point. Like you said, Mosaic was ALREADY a great product, compared to the nerdy terminal browsers without embedded media, etc. OP's point is not whether netscape…

    I don't think anyone's being as hostile as you make it out to be. They're just talking about how you can't really guarantee safety, which is true. And I find it weird that you're c…

    "technical primer", yeah right. I guess this counts as "technical" to people at Deloitte.

    in the short term this is annoying, but in the long term I think this is really great. it's almost as if the market is pushing people to adopt decentralization technologies, which …

    This is a problem because it results in vendors with huge budget to dominate the open source space. This in itself is fine, but the side effect is that it discourages all the grass…

    Nope, your sentences are not as valuable as you think. Neither is mine. But a great book containing thousands of sentences is valuable enough to to be purchased.

    I agree. Personally I think it's a great tool, run by a wrong company. If some other company--say Google, Microsoft, or even Amazon--acquired this I would trust it 100 times more. …

    I didn't say TRIZ is bad. I even said it's a good technique to learn. I just pointed out that anyone can be creative without "training". The concept of training is based on the ass…
