What are the choice cuts?

Git hooks

How exactly did you get "burned" ? I'm still wearing an original pebble. It's worked fine for years.

For more thoughts along these lines, I recommend folks read Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira

What's absurd? Sounds bang on

It also helps with accessibility, screen readers etc

Douglas Adams was right, the mice are experimenting on us

What's the difference?

Custom games? :D I miss playing "tree tag" on Warcraft3 Battle.net

I like cozyweb

What about increased natural resource consumption?

The napkin-math contrarians are out in full force today!

I urge folk to consider why folk would come from around the world to help build and sail these ships. We build container haulers to live but there are folk that live to build sailing ships.

How can natural gas be net zero?

I am one of those people! I'm scared of the day my pebble stops working, it's honestly the best peiece of electronics I've ever owned.

I was against frameworks until I used re-frame in Clojurescript. If the framework is sufficiently pluggable it can be incredibly valuable.

I wonder if To Dissect a Mockingbird inspired Urbit's Nock

Some other cool Ink & Switch projects:

Cambria [1], "isolated software layer that translates data between schemas on demand"

Diesis [2], a browser plugin that locally finds connections between the pages you've visited

Just a heads up, I listened to a podcast about bird feeding recently and they mentioned that ground beef can cause serious bone density issues in magpies and crows, they're used to eating the bones of small animals alongside the meat and with a full belly of mince they won't seek them out.

May be worth looking into! They suggested mixing ground-up calcium supplements into the beef.

Curiously HN gets people who want to be as rich as Elon Musk, but don't think anything should cost money!

Those are different people, just both using HN

champing at the bit** :P

but I only get to look at them for 10 seconds

You can touch the screen and hold to keep the picture there for longer. If it's like Instagram stories you can tap the far left side of the screen to go backwards as well.

Looks like RSS links are on each separate page

4. Buzzword soup

Maybe I'm in too deep but peer-to-peer is a buzzword? I mean person-to-person, without intermediaries. This seems useful and powerful to me (and my politics I suppose).

5. no transparency/security using crypto as bulk transport

I don't mean building a social layer on top, I mean building digital infrastructure on top, 'smart contracts' etc.

I still maintain hope for something like this but after watching the gradual but massive increase in the complexity of 'DeFi' (decentrialized finance) in the Ethereum community I don't know where to look and what to work on these days...

My apologies, I shouldn't treat HN like Twitter. My statement was meant to spark a discussion but I should try to explain myself.

Maybe "Money laundering doesn't exist in a hypothetical world of private peer-to-peer transactions" is better? That's what I believe the crypto-folk are working towards.

I recognize the existence of laws again 'money laundering' in countries like the USA. I suppose a better way of framing what I think is that money laundering is an invented crime in order to further empower agents of a State to seize assets of those suspected of actual crimes. By 'invented' and 'actual' I'm appealing to a sense of legitimacy separate (or adjacent?) to said State's legal system.

1. I don't know if it will work, but the idea is Proof of Stake (ETH2 in Ethereum-land)

2. You can't -- this is a cultural problem, not a technological one

3. There's no such thing as money laundering

4. Peer-to-peer, transparent finance infrastructure

5. User-money as a layer on top of cryptocurrency

A centralized, trusted authority does a good job until it doesn't.

Does Common Lisp have something similar to Clojure's threading macros?

  (trim-string (get-string '(some data)))

  (-> '(some data)
      get-string
      trim-string

Just because some people have different ideals to yourself doesn't make them any less idealistic.
