Nice. I play Last Word daily. https://dragonfjord.com/lastword/ It's the same goal, but everyone starts with the same word each day, which does not include any letters in the "last word". No undos in Las

We need to tax non-degradable plastics for this externality. Also, I highly doubt this is from run-off of plastics carried to the sea. It's far more likely it's just being dumped. Probably much of it from people that thought it wa

IMHO comparably, cars today look depressing. So soulless, so similar, so boring. White/grey/silver/black, maybe a few boring blue or burgundy.

It really saddens me to hear this. It was an honor to get to know you as batchmates. Your passion and drive for 70MR made a mark upon me. I know that this is just another beginning for you, full of new opportunities, and that you will conti

It's really consistent and strange considering the ostensive nature of the site.

These industries squeezed the blood out of US suppliers to compete on cost. I don't think a correct solution is the government building capacity and supply chains. IMHO a more sustainable strategy is the government taxing the environme

The legal system will recognize it, and attribution protocols are being built. Removing middlemen like title companies is an efficiency, not overkill.

A house is linked to a title. The title is a paper token.

I expect that once Ethereum completes the switch to PoS, this issue is going to loom large for Bitcoin.

We should not sacrifice privacy to make law enforcement easier. It's ok to make law enforcement work harder and less efficiently rather than the people they serve.

This committee is window-dressing. AMP is about Google revenue alone, remaking the web as a consumer portal, not an open platform for information exchange and creativity. The premise that the web ought to compete with native app experience

As evidenced by the replies here, most people don't understand Ethereum, much less what is being done with Ethereum atm. Most people still don't know what DeFi means, or know that Ethereum has more nodes, processes more transactio

If more than half of the nodes adopted an update with that cap changed, it would change. It'd probably result in a fork.

I see the opposite happening, as rent-seeking models like that of the recording industry are replaced. Also, this regards the music an artist makes and sells, not every aspect of their life.

It makes me sad, because I expected a comment like this to be the highest on HN. In the case of Ethereum, digital scarcity secured by a blockchain enables a turing complete state machine that the world can use. In the most basic terms, this

Thanks. :) It works. Just limited to a single stream of posts atm. But will do.

I am planning on a proper ‘Show HN’, but I’ve been working on something for quite a time that has prepper use-cases. Most people have phones. Technically, they don’t need a third party to talk to each other. It seemed like there should be a

Rotting trees (and the leaves they drop) add carbon to the ground, creating organic soil.
