for a site that calls itself "hacker news", I'm shocked how settled, middle-class, house in the suburbs, "get away from questioning my comfortable normie life" it has become. Anything bitcoin and/or crypto-related (no difference for them) gets a kneejerk anti-reaction, they don't even engage with any argument. Same with anything that tells them how a neocolonial, exploitative world actually works. Hacker News prefers the New Yorker (magazine) crowd to the CCC crowd, nowadays, it seems.
I think you could definitely hack something like that, but IMO as soon as you strart to introduce statefulness, other protocols start to make more sense.
Therfore, In the above example, i like number 3 the most, it leverages another protocol that is great for managing state
Ecash is kinda inherently stateless, because links get broken after every token creation. So you would have to manually upkeep that state somehow, which kinda defeats the purpose.
But I think that's OK, because there are other things (like L402, JWT, etc..) that handle state well!
wow, i said state so many times....
We need to separate the web from the state
The best ideas I have for overcoming this long term
- allow users to mute users they don’t like
- allow users to flag posts and allow other users to set how sensitive they want to be to flagging (e.g. hide posts if 2 users flag it as altcoinery)
- allow users to have their own trust graphs which influences which posts and comments they see
- raise costs to post
I’m open to other ideas. Moderation doesn’t scale IMO, so I think the path forward is giving users more control over what they see, who can interact with them, and what it costs to get their attention.
Autism became recognized as a developmental disorder distinct from schizophrenia for the first time by the WHO, in 1978.
Ever since Autism was recognized as a distinct disorder, researchers and doctors began to include other disorders and behaviors (that have long been studied in children) into the "autism umbrella".
Awareness of autism in the public culture increased with the release of Rain Man (1988) and other media portrayals.
The DSM-IV TR (an autism test deployed in year 2000) contained an almost complete rewrite of the definition of Asperger syndrome. Notably, it now no longer included speech and language difficulties. This greatly increased the number of people deemed to have the condition.

If you've read this far, its probably because you have a hyperfixation and you might be autistic. /s
