The reason you haven’t heard a coherent answer to what problems web3 is supposed to solve is because there aren’t any. It’s just a continuation of the past 5-10 years of cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes (which also include ICOs and NFTs

Cryptocurrency bros are hilarious. In one breath they’ll claim the government is evil and they’re building tech to circumvent government control, and in the next they’re threatening people to weaponize the government against them if they do

Because that’s just how Elon does marketing. He also said the Model 3 would have a dashboard that “looks like a spaceship” and instead delivered a slab. Nothing new. It just maybe wasn’t as blatant as now.

Most people don’t need a massive truck either.

The same thing happened to me. I was at university loving C but learning Java and hating every minute of it. One day, with the help of another student, I managed to install Snow Leopard on my Acer notebook and the first thing I wanted to do

As soon as the article mentioned von Däniken in a serious light I stopped reading. von Däniken is a fraud and embezzlement convict and has admitted to fabricating lots of his fantastical stories and has no place in serious scientific resear

Funny, ARM, AMD, and Apple seem to be having no issues. Maybe they should change the company name to Antel?

Competitors can't compete with them even with standard stuff. Good for them to move forward. It's funny how innovation becomes a "bad" thing when a company you don't like innovates "too much".

Indeed. I had the same feeling. The article mentions that the regulation changes were already known. This is just me speculating, but what if Jack realized the IPO would be a disaster (for that reason or others) and decided that this was th

I hate the pressure people put on open-source developers of working for free, forever, on projects that they started. It is one of the main reasons I stopped making my side-projects open-source. All you get is a deluge of requests and compl
