It's a weird argument to make in this sub-thread. You started it by asking for "projects you’ve seen that are doing compelling[...]work". You got an answer.

You questionned its economic value. You got an answer. At this point, there are tons of other valid arguments you could have made ( it's too small, it's only one,etc ).

But you chose "reductio ad tulipum". It doesn't speak well of the strength of your case. Either that or you simply are not open to reconsidering your position, under any circumstance.

There seems to be around 277 millions dollars in addresses attached to Ethereum Name service[1]. So apparently the data says some people, somewhere, do care.

Watching fury road is like listening to a classical symphony. A masterpiece in composiing and weaving together sequences.

It is will be interesting to see the rational reaction of the many "stakeholders" of the news cycle.

If cryptocurrencies have a staying power, there is probably a market opportunity in providing a societal hedge against the ensuing meltdown.

Really nice addition to the landscape. It's gonna be very useful for recent graduates, to weather the covid situation.

gave an upvote and started contributing right away. You should add a twitter account to it. It could be an out of band way, to remind us to get back to it every day ! Here is my twitter @datapeek I will follow you asap.

What is the state of the art in term of cracking btc address. There is no heuristics that in some circumstances, would ease the workload ?

I hope this one will get some activity, it seems everytime a HN clone spring up, it's a ghost town after a couple of weeks.

It looks fresh ! And 600 teammates already is an impressive number.

I would probably move up the third section, where you have sample cards explaining how it works.

What do you think of this as a starting point: https://datapeek.org/?explorer_view=quest ?

What I find really fascinating , and would love to understand, is this: Once maps of the earth became widely available, how come it didn't become a top priority to investigate why Africa and South America seemed to fit so well.

I woud not put cars past them. One profitable area that will experience the autonomous driving revolution is logistics.

I wonder How it impact the technological roadmap of the various electric vehicle competitors.

Good job! although it would be really useful if you reduce the computational load and then simply analyse the last10 tweets. Itwould be more useful.

I remember reading somewhere that this technique was inspired by Reagan strategic defense initiative, aka Star Wars program, and was actually in use. I would love to see some kind of effectiveness comparison table.

Weird , I posted a show HN yesterday that actually find constructive "drama" in threads. But the HN title was poorly worded. I changed the copy on the website since, thanks to some early feedback. You can find it here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26298358.

First I rely in good part on HN proven ability to police bad behaviour. On top of that, by the very nature of the service and to extract good content, I will be focused on analysing the type of content posted. I will have a greater incentive to detect dishonnest, nefarious behavior.

I think light-astroturfing always happen, here less than elsewhereon the web, probably because it gets called out quickly by HN readers. And one of the key to having it under control is to bring it out in the open.

I made this tool after spending countless hours bookmarking replies on HN that changed my worldview. Its stated goal is to encourage the use of data when arguing in debates. It aims to extract debates out of threads on HN and propose data already used elsewhere on HN to add.

It started with me noticing two ways I experience joy on HN. The first is when I discover links to obscure data about topics I know nothing about. The second way is when I stumble upon carefully constructed arguments hidden inside a deeply nested thread.

Previously, there were times when I wanted to retrieve some arguments in their original form and all my HN-fu ws of no use. I started to track them more seriously and enjoyed having access to them when needed.

I was influenced for a long time by both Arguman.org( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10405288 ) and Hypothes.is ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13729525 ), and mulled over doing something similar. I became progressively convinced that it was more important for it to be "joyful" than "useful" and that it should be more organic.

Then covid came. And with it a big amount of debates (and data ) on what to do, with an uneven quality. I reasoned that if people debating were more familiar with the universe of existing arguments, of analytical frameworks, they might quickly converge to the area where they have an original take and add value to the global mind.

I am happy to discuss those assumptions !

I think we are all experiencing the same issue :/ . Let's give it some time I think.

Off topic I am watching your code generation video on nodewood https://nodewood.com/features/code-generation/ . It's seems clever, but I have some difficulty evaluating how much trouble it would save me for example. How do pitch that feature ?

I experienced the same issue and posted it elswhere on the page. I am writing here just in case the owner catch this thread !

I added my project but on the dashboard,I can't see the picture and there is no edit button ?

Hey! I submitted my project with stories of "data hackers" ( https://datapeek.org/stories ) . Would you be open to an interview? Your project is quite ingenous it would be a great fit :)

Yes, you are right and that's the thing, the action happens in the first couple of thread ( this discussion is a bit meta btw ! ). The point is, it still hold true even when the total number of comments on the page is bigger.

Actually posts with few comments have basically a flat structure. They have usually just one thread with two or three comments and the others are "single-comment" threads.

It's the posts with a lot of comments that tend to have three or four very long threads and those long threads skew toward being under the first comments posted.

Thanks for putting those points in a very coherent framework. Looked at it this way, it's quite an asymmetric gamble.

I have an honest question, since a lot of your predictions have been wrong so far. Why are you not interested more in some alternative explanation/theory that would better fit data you have at hand ?

I was objecting to the extreme situation in the middle age where in theory, war was a god given right that flowed from the top. I tend to think that democracies live on a spectrum. What you would call hypocrisy, I would call it finding ways to deal with the current contradictions of people aspirations. It's always the first stepping stone.

One advantage of a political system accepting hypocrisy and compartimentalization as statecraft tools is that at some point in the future, it will have to reconcile parts of its actions with its stated values.

I would absolutely not call democratic a power system where the common has absolutely no legitimate say in deciding whether or not his polity is going to be at war with another ( with the consequences of having their crops, family,etc... wiped off the surface of the earth )

You should really run with that idea, it's simply brilliant ! (I am a tad jealous )
