regitempus··on Ask HN: Should I learn the tech behind crypto even if I don't want to own any?
Check out Tim Roughgarden’s course on Foundations of Blockchains, Jimmy. Current iteration of web3 and DeFi is a lot of hot air and BS but I think the general idea of trustless computation is bigger than just Bitcoin and that new applications will arise given time.

Bezos got $250K from the Bank of Mom and Dad to start Amazon. Not legitimate?

regitempus··on Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software
Don’t mind apps charging subscriptions per se — business models are good. Annoying when I buy special-purpose hardware though, and it requires a recurring subscription to use the software features it comes with. See Tesla Autopilot, Eight Sleep mattress, Hero pill machine, etc. Two different things imo and the latter is abusive.
