I've wondered this myself. I would love a version of reddit only with real people. I'd also love it if the anonymity was a gradient, and not a binary. E.g. you could join a Califor…

This is an amalgamation of ideas I’ve read and may be totally from elsewhere, but I think a good approach here would be to handle this more dynamically. Every patent is taxed at so…

If you know, can you share names/links? Thanks!

Could a core common library that Chromium depends on update its license to block use in software that supports attestation, roughly? If Google wants more control and closure of the…

This is great! Bookmarked. Numbers are rattled off so quickly in foreign languages, and small syntax differences where the order is changed and really cause new learners to pause a…

This is a pretty solid article. I think the JIT learning idea is a strong one; his anecdote about the public speaking advice he received immediately after a speech that stuck to th…

When it comes to changing things on HN, I think something like comment collapsing would be much more helpful than de-dup (as some of the other comments mention), though I know ther…
