I imagine the audience crossover between crypto and HN is quite high.

BAYC gave rights to NFT owners, and that's why they became the example. Larva Labs / Punks is doing it wrong IMO.

EOS tried to use on-chain Ricardian Contracts and pair that with upgradeable smart contracts in C++ with DPoS consensus so that intent-of-code could be enforced. That's pretty "real world" but most people feel it's not unstoppable enough.

Ethereum is pretty unstoppable, but unless you use a contract proxy, your contracts are immutable and bugs that can be exploited will be exploited.

Pokemon will enter the NFT digital collectibles space, and it would be absolute crazy if they don't already have a team working on it.

All of these collectors are making assumptions based on information other collectors have shared about "how many are known to exist" etc., whereas NFTs are provably scarce and they never get scuffed up.

Transfers are not necessarily sales.

Transaction fees for the Topps MLB cards on WAX, for example, are only taken during the sale when the sale occurs on a secondary Atomic Asset marketplace. There are no royalties to trade or transfer between accounts.

Our small team spends roughly $40-50k/mo at AWS. If you're just hosting a website with a SQL database (glorified LAMP stack), you're probably in it for the wrong reasons. Stick to a dedicated box or DigitalOcean etc.

AWS is like co-locating your hardware, and then the data center having 1000s of employees offering highly reliable services you can access from your infrastructure that lets you move WAY faster for things that are hard to do.

e.g. Discussion today was increasing log retention. 10 years ago I would have run the numbers, extended some SAN volumes, considered procuring more NetApp shelves, etc.

Today it's simply a cost question: is it worth it to us to store those logs for 10x longer? Sure? Ok, done.

As we head into the post-truth era, we already know videos are going to become far less trusted due to deep fake tech. Finding grains of truth through cryptography, like DKIM, is so refreshing that it hurts to think some people want to cripple it.

The Hunter Biden email is a good example.

I initially thought it was a garbage tabloid drop, but once I read Rob Graham's analysis, it felt very refreshing to have a real nugget of truth based on math. While the context of that content is up for debate, the truth was essentially undeniable (unless you subscribe to the 2016 private key being stolen).

We need nuggets of truth.

You know that's not what I meant.

Let's chat again when you've executed and launched five unique revolutionary companies.

If someone was to Elon Musk the shi* out of this problem, what would they build or do differently?

My gut is that it would focus on plastic identification automation, but not positive.

I don't frequent /r/wsb, but the onus should not be on the SEC to clamp down on a community, it should be on the service the "significant young people" are using to execute satirical investment advice.

For example, if Robinhood wants to gamify everything, then advanced trading opportunities should be part of some built-in experience-based level up system. E.g. you can't trade options until you have made X classic trades, or after you've completed X days of simulated advanced trading.

Once you open the email, a tracking pixel will fire (usually an <img> tag), which is far more useful to the email marketer.

Unsubscribe is your best bet as honoring opt-outs are protected by the CAN-SPAM act.

Annoying for sure, but one benefit of this approach is due to forwarding. For the moment, let's assume you have a newsletter you enjoy. If you forward an instance of that newsletter to your friend, and they aren't expecting it, they might hit unsubscribe. With one click, they'll prevent you from receiving future newsletters.

I think the better approach is simply showing the "Intended for [email protected]" next to Unsubscribe, but I could see why they ask for your email.

We've had "Add List-Unsubscribe Header" on Trello for a long time, but for some reason I had it in my mind that there was a ~60 character limit.

I appreciate the post because after revisiting it, I think that info was gathered from a few-years-old blog discussing a specific limit in (maybe?) Gmail, but it sounds like it can be broken down into multiple lines.

UBI (in the U.S.) would be like printing more shares of a publicly-traded stock and giving all of the new stock to the employees of the company.

USD is the reserve currency, so foreign interests (or large corps) w/ stockpiles of USD will be the losers due to inflation.

Foreign interests can change which reserve currency they use at-will, so wouldn't this be like a direct-fee/dividend U.S. citizens (or any UBI-country citizens) could charge those that use the currency of the country but don't live there?
