Curious too. Let me know if you try it out. Technically I think it should work.

In John wick, they use commodore computer and dial phones for security purposes, reminds me of that :)

The document says it’s network protocol agnostic because it only focuses on decentralizing the data layer, so it might be possible to use vapor on top of IPFS in addition to HTTP

Maybe wallets can implement an identity system (either as a standard or through federation among vapor nodes)?

> Until now, it has been impossible to "record" and replay authenticated HTTP requests outside of a single service provider because authentication by nature has been centralized--Your identity belonged to the service provider.

According to the website: Why a standalone browser instead of building as an extension for existing browsers, or waiting for mainstream browser support? 1. Build for the future Many things we take for granted in the old "web browsing&q

As someone who tries to position oneself as someone with all the wisdom in the world, you sure are acting immature, closing your statement with "okthxbye" type comment. Also, "You're wrong" is not such a mature way

it's offensive only because you choose to be offended, it actually tells more about yourself than parent. > people running successful startups don't have time to write about it, while people who have wound down their companies

any success is a success as long as you truly believe it was a success deep inside. Which means the people you're talking about are all success cases. You don't have to be a household name to be considered a success. A food stand

The reason why your advice is not as useful as you think is because chances are, if you google around, most of that lesson would be already out there. Don't take this the wrong way I mean no offense. I'm sure you've learned a

you're right i'm being cynical, because i genuinely believe you have not much to learn from people who have failed but haven't succeeded yet. That said, there are PLENTY of successful people who used to be a failure. In fact

it's refreshing to see someone who actually successfully scaled a company write an article about "here's how we did it", instead of bunch of failed entrepreneurs who write medium posts about why they think their startups

You're missing the point. Like you said, Mosaic was ALREADY a great product, compared to the nerdy terminal browsers without embedded media, etc. OP's point is not whether netscape or mosaic is better, but that the graphical web b

I don't think anyone's being as hostile as you make it out to be. They're just talking about how you can't really guarantee safety, which is true. And I find it weird that you're comparing yourself with Snapchat. Sn

"technical primer", yeah right. I guess this counts as "technical" to people at Deloitte.

in the short term this is annoying, but in the long term I think this is really great. it's almost as if the market is pushing people to adopt decentralization technologies, which would have been difficult to get adoption without this

This is a problem because it results in vendors with huge budget to dominate the open source space. This in itself is fine, but the side effect is that it discourages all the grass roots innovations that could have happened, and effectively

Nope, your sentences are not as valuable as you think. Neither is mine. But a great book containing thousands of sentences is valuable enough to to be purchased.

I agree. Personally I think it's a great tool, run by a wrong company. If some other company--say Google, Microsoft, or even Amazon--acquired this I would trust it 100 times more. This is not just because of their history of betraying

> I'd close the first, say, $200k from the first reasonably good investors that offer it on reasonable terms--say a $5 million pre-money valuation or higher. This removes some uncertainty and pressure, gives you capital to execute

I didn't say TRIZ is bad. I even said it's a good technique to learn. I just pointed out that anyone can be creative without "training". The concept of training is based on the assumption that people are not naturally cr

by volaski 11y ago
I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm basically agreeing with you that there is no inherently creative person and you can acquire it. I'm just making a distinction between becoming actually creative vs. emula

by volaski 11y ago
As i mentioned it does work. And it is a good guideline to look at when you're stuck. But it's not the fundamental solution. TRIZ teaches you to emulate creativity. The whole idea is "how can an even ordinary person come up

This just means you haven't met enough people. You probably met some people who worked on embedded systems where they only need to use a simple set of instructions predefined by the device. But imagine doing that for your laptop. Perso

That doesn't make this guy's comment anything close to true. It's like saying "Writing a piece of English literature is easy. All you need to know is alphabets. Really that's all you need to know." It is hard t

While some of the approaches mentioned below do work to some extent (TRIZ, etc.), they won't really make you "inventive". Personally I think they're all gimmicks (although to be fair they are gimmicks that work). I think

I once lived there for a few months. The first day I arrived, I opened by window and looked at the view and thought "Wow this place has a beautiful view, no buildings, all nature... wait... what are all those things on the ground?&quot
