I agree. It's difficult to find a brand that devalued itself as much as TED did with TEDx. The vetting process for getting on stage at TEDx is vastly different, which provides for some rather ludicrous entries at local events.

That's ridiculous. They themselves adopted the Adblock term from the original open source project that they initially derived their product from (http://web.archive.org/web/20090222145638/http://adblockplus...). If any trademark exists for Adblock, it's probably not theirs.

The amount of artwork NFTs that has "Metadata: Centralized" in their details appear very high, although it's difficult to get any exact numbers. As far as I can tell, OpenSea doesn't provide an option to filter based on this field.

Remember that this is from the people that believe buying a book gives them the IP rights to the work (should have bought a Harry Potter book). They may not have thought it all the way through.

To give an idea of the storage costs associated, I dug up this old stackexchange-answer about storage costs on Ethereum [0], which estimates that it costs about 76.000 USD / GB stored. Note that this is 5 year old answer, so the price will probably have multiplied like the price of ETH since then.

Edit: Here's [1] a newer, updated price estimate that takes current prices into account : 309.9 Million / GB. LoL!

Well, they won't. All NFTs are hosted on hilariously centralized services like googleusercontent.com and similar.

Browse through https://opensea.io/, the most prominent NFT marketplace at the moment. Digging through the DOM of their website will reveal a lot of links to quite standard content storage solutions. They usually go through a bit of trouble to prevent people from simply clicking "view image in new tab" to reveal the actual location, but it's not difficult to get around.

Cloudflare is also in the business of offering access to Ethereum nodes: https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ethereum-g...

So much great worldbuilding, a notable and incredibly interesting development and then just "the end". That was rather upsetting.

Yeah, I was wondering the same. As an example, can the guy who purchased Jack Dorsey's first tweet[0] delete it from Twitter if he decides to?

How do you handle KYC and AML?

Possibly. Haven't read through all 5k comments on the previous posts.

Also, it was actually meant as a genuine question, not a snarky drive-by comment. I have only superficial knowledge of both platforms, so it would be nice to know whether there are some fundamental differences beyond "NSFW / Not NSFW".

Isn't "OnlyFans without sexual content" basically Patreon?

Probably a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagull_management

"[...] a management style wherein a manager only interacts with employees when they deem a problem has arisen. The perception is that such a management style involves hasty decisions about things of which they have little understanding, resulting in a messy situation with which others must deal."

Would be nice if the headline included the year this was written. (2005? 2006?)

Anyone know what Norway will do when Breivik's 21 year prison sentence [0] is up in 10-12 years? Difficult to imagine him being released back into society.

It's in production on several chains now. A few examples are Cosmos hub (cosmos.network), Avalanche (www.avax.network), Tezos (tezos.com) and Solana (solana.com).

The ability to tax all residents and companies of the US?

I don't really understand why expansion towards West is not an option.

Your store of value just dropped 40%.

An alternative is to stop visiting the site and sign up for Hacker Newsletter instead: https://hackernewsletter.com/

Quite the attack vector for competitors, though.

You fight like a dairy farmer.

I've seen people with only very rudimentary programming experience get quite caught up in Elevator Saga [1]. Makes you think about basic programming as well as simple algorithms.

Very minor request: Pressing "extract" provides no real UI feedback as to what happened. Until I "discovered" the correct tab, it felt a bit like the button was not wired up to anything.

No UX expert, but would it be possible to do something that signals to the user that something did indeed happen?

Recently got an X-Bows keyboard [1] which bills itself as a keyboard with "Natural Ergonomics For Better Typing". Haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet, though.

Yeah, the correct question is probably how it competes with something like Kindle.

The presentation made me fairly intrigued.

The general public was allowed in as spectators at "The incubator doctor" with only their curiosity as a reason. The med students have a real need to observe patients and conditions as part of their training.

Pricing can be seen at https://plausible.io/#pricing

6$ / month for a personal website.

36$ / month for a business.

I use https://pinboard.in for bookmarks. Tag the URL with the search terms I would have used if I were to find it again using google.

Having one of the mobile apps that support pinboard is also an essential part of my workflow.

I use Google Keep for more general life stuff, general notes I need to remember when people tell me and even shopping lists.

For development and work notes, I rely on the desktop version of https://boostnote.io/.

You're perpetuating several dangerous myths with that comment
