Well, one area that Gridcoin isn't / hasn't been availed for is the fact that it (like folding@home) has projects that helped do research on COVID. Although folding@home didn't provide any monetary reward - at least Rosetta@home is a supported GRC project. Obviously the token price would need to be higher to make the break even cost of the servers & mining feasible, but it is a neat project.

M Discs brother, they are cleared to last 1000+ years. Long after most people's cloud backups have turned to dust, my most treasured data will endure due to my use of these discs (which may well be unreadable from a hardware standpoint in 3019. But shit, hope they keep the schematics around.

This is some good work, shows that taking a new approach to things can sometimes be delightfully tantalizing. But remember, the guys at DARPA want to go home and have a beer as well :-)

Wow, this is a new revelation. Couldn't have guessed that, what a story mark.

Seems like something that would have been more fitting for Google...

I believe Tor browser is already just a version of Firefox if I'm not mistaken. What would be the advantage of integrating with Firefox as opposed to say, a VPN integrated into the browser via a plugin. Just seems a little redundant and Tor is beginning to seem dated also with new solutions popping up and making the pitfalls of Tor more apparent.

Margaritaville

I write letters to many different people, none really respond showing me that this is a thoughtful yet ineffective means of reaching out to people nowadays... Interesting thoughts nonetheless

Goldman Sucks

If such a rule were to pass, it would be cool to see something done for older ROMs. So many games have the potential to go unplayed and become forgotten relics

This guy is not really a good thing for YC, I honestly stopped caring that much about this incubator after that guy who was in before him left. Sam Altman should be removed.

I'm just over here patiently awaiting some startup to unseat Tesla as the king of speedy, luxury, electric automotive. Nobody is quite taking the cake, or even trying for that matter.

I worked at a rural post office for a little over a year, sometimes we'd get chicks going out to the farms - other times it was insects. Pretty impressive the scope of services offered by the postal service

I'm still using paper over here, nothing seems to do it for me on the computer. Paper is great, and paper is king.

Basic income probably isn't the answer, but instead basic needs being met through education and proper allocation of resources is a very viable answer. FDR had a vision during his time in office which was for every person to own land. Theoretically, if everyone had access to use some amount of land through entitlement - they would be able to use natural means to provide themselves and their family with certain basic needs like food and shelter. With the advent of technology and GMO crops - anyone should be able to understand growing their own food and building their own home when suddenly presented with more free time in the absence of traditional industrial work. I hate to go all Atlas Shrugged on y'all - but Galt's Gulch was effectively this. It was a commune that recognized an individual's power to provide for themselves when presented with the means to meet their basic human needs.

Well I'll be completely straight and say this isn't anything new. (You've been able to buy similar video glasses from china for about 5 years now) but if it can properly integrate with the app, and slim down a LOT more. To the point the camera is unnoticeable - they could finally start making some money. Well, until the Chinese knockoffs start rolling in

Addiction is probably one of the worst diseases, and I am not sure that you can 'cure' it.

I say pardon him at this point, you'd be better off having him in America than somewhere in Russia being forced to leak further info for continued asylum

Circuithub YC Winter'12 batch baby. I make more money at the post office duder.

Our country is just shy of $20 trillion in debt because investors spend their cash on startups like mine and expect the government to write it off on their taxes when it fails.

$1 million dollars used to be enough to buy the American Dream and have enough left over to send little Timmy to college. How 'bout them apples?

I'm gonna be straight with y'all, I earn more as a post office mail carrier than I ever did as a programmer for a silicon valley startup with $1 million dollars seed funding. I also surprisingly have more freedom even though I work basically like a slave. Nobody wants to admit it but we are in a tech bubble. Sure, if you are in the right startup things might be different. I had a great valley experience - but it was all a façade, the next recession will really highlight the failures of silicon valley startup culture. Wall Street got pounded last time, and I'm sure I'll get downvoted night and day for saying this here - but I'm sorry guys, you are the new problem. Silicon Valley is the new Wall Street. There, I said it. Ironically I worked in both places before joining the postal service. So I do have perspective. My claims aren't baseless either, your startup that might even be funded at a million dollars like my employer's was is just a tax write-off for your investor when it fails. They are playing slots with your dreams, time, and skill - the only person who truly loses is you.

The environmentally friendly aspect of Tesla's cars is seemingly negated by SpaceX's black-smoke rocket fuel laden explosions.

Finally, a way to teach Americans the metric system that doesn't involve weed

If you don't like the house prices, move out of San Francisco

I hear they based MS Bob off the principles outlined in this white paper

Very true in NYC also, everything is so tightly regulated that the spending power of your dollar bottlenecks compared to other parts of the country

I think there's a trade-off, millennials will live a life with more public conveniences. Internet, social networks, free games, etc. Not my cup of tea, but as a millennial I think the generational values are generally geared more to life experiences over money.
