we are obsessed with preventing china from beating us while we are destroying america ourselves

seems like a bad idea

those would be totally different isbns. to connect the related editions you'd probably need to get something like the FBR records for each work and idk if anna's archive has related books like that?

i had some savings in a stablecoin on a platform that got a huge interest rate and then i realized that was a bad idea. the interest rate was too good to be true but the last straw was when i tried to move the stablecoin funds one time during a bear panic and the platform wouldn't let me move the money. so i exchanged it to USD and put it in a bank then used the cash for the down payment on some land. exchanging the value from crypto to a hard asset was one of the best financial decisions i've made, because a year or two later i would've never been able to access the funds again due to a hack on the defi stablecoin website.

dunno how this shit is legal.


sorry for the snark on your launch, just being an HN caricature.

genuinely, how do y'all protect the consumer from your smart contracts having a bug or security vulnerability? will you ever freeze funds in the event of a crypto bank run?


this looks dope!

publishers wouldn't do it unless they followed the DRM requirements

there's a lot of good writing advice out there, but some of the best i got was from a college professor, too. i will botch it:

each sentence should make sense based on every prior sentence. each sentence should be able to stand alone on its own sheet of paper.


i had the perfect restatement of this pop in my head later during the day and then i forgot it!

write each sentence on a single sheet of paper.


what are some good self-hosted blog alternatives? something with features similar to ghost/substack

This is a long-shot, but take a look here:

    https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io
I've been blogging for decade(s) with:

    http://blosxom.com/documentation/users/blog.html
    http://blosxom.com/documentation/users/install/dynamic/isp.html
...it's basically a janky (possibly insecure?) perl-cgi-script which converts a directory of markdown files into a blog.

I love the idea of it in that it's just markdown files! `vim ~/blog/entries/some-random-thought.txt` end ups with $AUTHOR of `chown`, $DATE of the file modification time, tree of `mkdir -p ~/blog/entries/some/category` ... it's just trivial to backup, restore, and work with. You can even (probably) hook it up to a static regen which is probably safer: http://blosxom.com/documentation/users/install/static/

The link to datasette is if you're wanting to nerd around a bit more, as it's kindof a combo of sqlite and a web server for rendering data from within it. The linked github repo is how their main site is built/rendered and it definitely has aspects of "blogginess", and you can kindof see how it's done. The neat thing of `let tags = "SELECT DISTINCT tags FROM posts"` or transforming blogging into effectively updating/adding records in a database is an extension of the blosxom zen of "it's just files [records], yo! go forth and edit them..."


wordpress.org is the defacto standard right?

set plugins and themes to auto-update, add wordfence and change default settings.

use updraft or similar to pull full backups on a schedule.


after the deep seek release, banning open source models was an obvious outcome. you better git clone all the open source models but be careful bc microsoft will have that action in a log somewhere

reading this gave me a great idea for https://bookhead.net. thanks!!

also thank you for the incredibly informative article.


actually idk if the idea is "great" but it felt like it at the time
