The result would ultimately be the same, just a less extreme example.
Many fashion houses literally burn their unsold products to create this scarcity or create limited runs. DeBeers have a heavy control over the diamond industry. If an artist says they'll only create unique pieces (a 1/1…
The market dictates the value. As a test, create and mint an exact replica of a Bored Ape NFT and try to sell it for the current minimum price of 32 ETH or around $150k.
The marketplaces verify the collections. So if you're buying from a famous artist on OpenSea, you know the NFT is the one from that artist. There are copycat collections but it's no different from someone trying to flog…
Surprisingly high. 350k people born per day - just takes one of them to break the law on a particular day and get caught.
Isn't it! I'd be surprised there isn't precedent somewhere actually, perhaps not in Australia but at least a couple of similar cases. The defendant in this case is absolutely 17 though. I can't see it any other way.
Have children. (and hope for plenty of grandchildren, great grandchildren etc) 1,000 years is time for a lot of generations to pass. Sure, your particular DNA might only make up some small amount of someone walking…
Indeed. This is exactly the kind of post that keeps me coming back to HN.
A lot of people in this age bracket have 2 active accounts for work and personal.
I guess sometimes it's the smallest of things that can make a genuine difference.
No. Like many, I help in a number of small ways I'm sure, and perhaps I've even made a big impact on a few lives for the better, but I can't help but think I should be able to scale up and do more for a far, far greater…
So the Met asked the indian police, who in turn reached out to groups (!) of local hackers to carry out the work, who then presumably passed the data back through the chain to the Met. Hard to believe someone found out…
A sad day indeed. One of his TED talks changed my career forever: https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_...
Everything in your post tells me the same thing: Absolutely not. Honesty is a huge deal in any employment situation. If you feel like that before you even start, the likelihood is that it will only get worse. If you…
Even though the content of the video is fairly commercial (AdWords and and GA being used on-screen) it's still great that Google is giving exposure to issues that are important to its staff, and indeed the broader…
Haha. "We the People" in online form submission.
Such an interesting area for him to have done it in. I think the results in say London or another big city would be quite different as it's not an areas that has really thrived and people are much more likely to stay…
It's not often you see people suggesting that you apologise. I think that's rare and under-rated advice.
I wonder how many hours that would have otherwise been productive have been spent reading about productivity.
I really hope that in years to come we have a great, goofy video of a guy jumping on a bed pitching for funding that eventually went on to create a billion dollar company.
I really admire the commitment to openness and transparency displayed by the team on this project. Even though that may be common in the startup world or open source community, it's still somewhat rare in lots of other…
Product aside, the onboarding process is great. Within a couple of minutes they had my email address, I had a sharable URL of an interactive responsive design and a really clear idea of what the software could do.
I'm always so inspired when I see these. The idea that it's possible to make such a significant impact in the world by taking a smarter, more focused approach is so simple but so powerful. Some of the cheap and…
Looking forward to the 'What happens when a post about a post that hits #1 on Hacker News, hits #1 on Hacker News?' post.
When I worked for a large established company a lot of the older, more senior staff who had been around for a long time would complain constantly about the workload being much higher than it was a decade ago. When…
