Holy crap I love this. Great job, you guys! A thought on pricing: per machine is probably the best. If you do per zerk, customers are going to try and do one zerk on the machine, and track it on a per machine basis, instead of per zerk

It is not even a remotely meaningless metric. OpenBSD doing NOTHING by default is exactly what I want. Somebody said that sshd starts by default, but actually it doesn't unless you specify that you want it to during installation. When

If you read this article and know the types of things that Scott writes, remember this experience and try to imagine how many other nytimes outrage articles are similarly full of lies.

Id highly suggest listening to an NPR story that covers something you are deeply familiar with. Of all things where I am an expert, NPR misinforms in the direction of outrage. I can only assume that is their standard practice. It’s shamef

Do you understand what the purpose of money is? It allows you to abstract your work into a (near) universally acceptable intermediary. For instance: I am great at writing web APIs in golang, but unfortunately for me the people coming to

Completely agree. I think this is the website I have been a consistent user of the longest (aside from facebook). Love it here. It does seem like the discussion here has become quite a bit less technical, but I think that is really just d

Not as a frontend for traditional financial instruments as far as I know. Yield farming just trades other crypto asset, doesn't it?

Is there a cryptocurrency exchange that accepts clean car credits in exchange for bitcoin?

What a ridiculous headline. How do you spend clean car credits, exactly? Tesla has a market cap of almost a trillion dollars.

To the people on HN who constantly try to talk about how stupid cryptocurrencies are, or how it's all a pyramid that's going to collapse, it's all stupid etc. What do you know that Tesla doesn't know? If you could sit

About 8.4 car seconds of fuel. Data: Us burns about 390,000,000 gallons of gas per day. SpaceX Falcon9 uses about 38,000 gallons of RP-1. 390000000/86400 = 4513 (gallons per second of fuel in the US). 38,000/4500 = 8.4 seconds. On
