How Black Friday works: Companies release products 6-12 months in advance. On the day of their release they are at their most valuable. Every day that goes by they slowly lose a little bit of desirability. For practicality, and human market

Love it or hate it, something was lost with Flash. Sure the web can do it, but for some reason it doesn't. The combination of tools and language in Flash hit a magic sweet spot that let all kinds of people play and create. This demo is

People have realized this a long time ago. The expected configuration is a node-based network like the internet. Messages (money) hop from "router" to "router" until they reach their final destinations through the shorte

Are you asking how do lighting STAKERS make money if lightning transactions are so cheap? Right now they don't, people are doing it to bootstrap the network. But in the future, they will be able to make it on volume. Staking is nearly

One of the touted benefits of UBI is that individuals are better able to allocate money to meet their needs than some outside entity. However some results from Canada showed that some people continued to spend "irresponsibly". Ra

IPFS requires "pinning" content for it to exist, meaning you host it, whoever pins content becomes liable for its distribution, if no one pins it, it disappears. That's why you can't freely host things like child porn on

A lot of the lists (UL) break for many of the libs in the demos, including pico [1]. Also in pico, the cursor remains "default" instead of switching to "text selection" when you hover over text to select it - is that a s
