But the engaged clickable web is anyways dead. This post is a static HTML file hosted on IPFS with no back links to my carefully curated blog and media presence. No branding. It's because I've accepted that people's bullshit-radar is sensitive towards overly optimized engagement content. Rather I want my text to be read and those that care will anyways online-search me. It's not my idea btw. The web has reached peak clickability: https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/has-the-internet-reached-pea...
If Google truly had to be competitive, they surely could figure out ways to make AGPL work. But they don't have to because for now they're just taking everyone's data practically for free.
I think ycombinator, as huge of a tech institution it has become, owes it to its engaged community to create more transparency. It must not be where a loud minority can flag and censor the rest of the platform.
As anyone else, I'd like to take part in the discourse here. Be that when I talk about pro crypto stuff or when I have strong opinions. And frankly, the software running HN is currently not achieving it.
Sure: You can claim HN as your own and shed responsibility or the need for transparency. But one incident at a time users like me will stop posting here and your echo chamber will add reverb.
I doubt this platform is still capable of creating the discourse for the next billion dollar start ups.
But my take is less pessimistic. My frame is: If everybody creates new JPG standards, we'd have more innovation and progress (despite potentially having more fragmentation...).
- HN: "There aren't that many uses for blockchain"
- Is privacy considered not a use case anymore? Who here is still following PG advice? Has anyone talked to *their users* recently? Because privacy is a pretty good use case!
I've been working more than seven years in this tech and don't let yourself be deceived - wide scale PKI and immutability of storage is very useful for lots of things.
Sure, 99% of all projects are shitcoins. But it changes nothing about the core tech.
E.g. there are people building quietly the new software supply chain package managers with fully content-addressable and re-producible builds where all hashes are stored onchain to be immutable. But yeah, it's not a VC funded milliondollar project so people can't be happy/angry about it
- Data set of tracks this is based on: https://github.com/neume-network/data/blob/main/results/musi...
- I've been busy crawling music NFTs with this project: https://neume.network/
The only one I see using this is Google on their search website. This is fucked up.
- Small open source project where every contributors reserves their contribution's copyright through the use of GPL3
- Building an socially scalable ETL process for Ethereum
- Open to many forms of employment, starting with freelance and more
- No interviews you can just get started on our GitHub and contribute

1. Working on yourself and actively trying to figure out why you're doing this. Inevitable, you'll land a viral hit and it'll feel great. But once it's gone, you'll be left with the same old feeling. So to sustain, I think it's necessary to understand why you're creating.
2. It's practicing in the arena. As a perfectionist myself, I love to be prepared and I hate being assessed by others. But the more you hit publish, the more you're learning and growing. You'll understand what content you can pull off, what people like and what you prefer.
