Dappsy -a New Anonymous Social Network for Cryptocurrencies
What is Dappsy?
Dappsy is the Social Network of Cryptocurrencies. A platform where you can reach other cryptocurrency investors, track crypto assets and your current coin/token investments.

There is so much you can do on Dappsy...and the beauty of it? - It's Anonymous. To use Dappsy you don't an email or a phone number to sign up, only a Metamask wallet.

We have a target audience of ~400 million people who have a broad interest in cryptocurrencies and regularly use social networks to discuss ideas and acquire information from cryptocurrency communities. These individuals use social medias to interact with one another, share and receive opinions, and gain an overview of their assets, which leads them to the future of the cryptocurrency market.

What makes Dappsy unique?
Dappsy is more than just a crypto social network; we are creating a welcoming environment for new and experienced investors. We talk about blockchain and cryptocurrencies. We talk about ATH and ATL. Graphs are our morning coffee, and the latest crypto news is our breakfast. Our users are free to use other social media networks for anything else. We want to be a crypto social network where people from all over the world get together to debate cryptocurrency on a daily basis. You have everything in one spot as a Dappsy user.

APP, the native utility token:
The APP Token is the currency that entitles you to a share of Dappsy's revenue. Our native token is a currency as well as an asset. APP does not have to be reliant on investor trading, but rather be treated as a valuable asset. APP Formula: Ad Net Revenue (Expenses + Treasury) / Ad Net Revenue = Revenue Share % The ad revenue we generate on the platform affects the APP's main value. This revenue share is derived from advertisements placed on the platform by our advertisers. This means that by treating APP token as a currency and asset, all of our token holders will benefit from Dappsy revenue. All other revenues generated by Dappsy, such as transactions, premium subscriptions, or any other form of revenue we propose in the future, will be included in this revenue share. Ad Net Revenue - Ads, promotions, and other monetization methods generating revenue for the platform. Expenses - Employees, operating costs, and any other expense that is necessary to keep Dappsy running are examples of company expenses. Rewarding moderators with bounties is also an expense that helps us keep the environment free of spammers, scammers, and other entities. Treasury - Dappsy, as a platform, requires a treasury in order to adapt to new technologies, improve, or survive. Revenue Share - This amount will be used to buy back tokens from Liquidity Pool and put it towards expanding our influence. This has a direct impact on the value of APP tokens on both decentralized and centralized exchanges.

How Many APP Coins Are There in Circulation?
At launch there were 148,000,000 tokens minted, and after the consecutive burns, the circulating supply is 117,957,997.
MS: "In our defense, our reflexive response it to never give other people credit for their ideas, so you can see how it's not really our fault, it's just instinct."
You could also just donate to charity, the effect might be similar (or even stronger, since it would go to needier people). By the way, this is all very nice of you but it is off-putting how you seem to want to impose forced charity on every other landlord.
Interestingly QM is also the theory of the very large. Entanglement is not attenuated by distance while gravity is. Also in aDS spacetime (closed rather than open topology, not our known universe) new observables would come into play which reflect off the edge of the universe. Also two black holes can be entangled.
Prisma only queries your own database. A GraphQL API could talk to many services and give the consumer one endpoint which all of this can be queried.
For throwing a little web page together with a small amount of dynamicism, or for including headers and footers, PHP was great. For learning, it had just the right amount of power vs. ease of use.

Of course, PHP has all the well known crazyness and technical debt that drove many away. I now prefer Python, although the same thing is often a lot more verbose in Python than in classic PHP, I know I can maintain it better. "Modern" PHP with classes, stricter typing and templating engines is close, but it loses the easyness of drop-in `<?php ?>` .

Incidentally, I worked on a Wordpress site recently. It was a blast from the past and not in a good way. The coding conventions have not changed in decades, and it is `<?php ?>` and global variables all the way.
Beautiful comment because I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, and your comment works either way.
We used Redfin to buy a home in a relatively competitive market in 2017. We tried using it again recently but found the (same) agents to be considerably less invested than those from other firms (we ended up using an awesome agent from Coldwell). As I understand it, Redfin pays fixed salaries to agents with some kind of bonus structure on top, but otherwise it seems like agents were managing dozens of serious clients simultaneously. At one point, our Redfin agent was sending in substitute agents for showings.

Maybe I’m just old school but I firmly believe in the value of a good real estate agent. From knowing the area, to having solid intuition about how to strategize a bid.

With that being said, it would be interesting to see a one-stop-shop for real estate. An entity like Redfin that provides everything for home buying, from loan to agent. No marketplaces, just one click to get a loan at a competitive rate. The entity would shop around itself for competitive rates absolving the buyer from all this loan bs.
The Airforce has flight simulators and other video games for which it must use GPUs. Additionally there are ML models to build and so on. Of the things I would predict, crypto mining would be the least of them.
I work in a field where we are negotiating over price daily. We often are using "weird" numbers because we know it will push our price just over a competitors, and because the sellers will find our number psychologically "interesting" over those competitors. We also make sure our escalation numbers are not "normal" for the same basic reasons. It has worked well for me, though I'm not sure it would make as much of a difference if my competitors were the kind of people who read articles on hbs.edu.
> What stops new spike proteins from being printed endlessly and damaging the immune system?

The RNA breaks down quickly and predictably and then it stops being picked up by the ribosomes.

> damaging the immune system

The immune system exists to look at, catalogue, and react to things like foreign proteins. The spike protein get made and ejected from your cells into interstitial fluids. From there they flow into lymph nodes. Special cells in the lymph nodes make anti-bodies and record the shape of the protein in anticipation of seeing it again in the future. Think of that as the second line of defense, with the anti-bodies being the first line. Anti-bodies prevent infection, and the cells that recognize the protein on the virus fight and infection if it happens.

> The newly released Pfizer documents show that some people experienced severe reactions to the vaccine

This is the immune response. The adaptive immune system can over react to stimuli for lack of a better work and trigger cascades of neutrophils and other immune cells and proteins to flood you circulatory system. The main weapon of these immune responses is inflammation which is stressful on your body. But pathogens, vaccines, or any number of things could trigger this response.
Right, but it is pretty great for deterministic segfaults.
Since this is not a professional place I think it's OK. I mean if Casey can rant then he should be able too. Of course I guess it doesn't look good and I'm fine with that.
>There is more support for investigating things that you think are worth investigating,

In my world there was always lack of time cuz other courses wanted their important^tm projects too, so instead of deep dive into fancy topics that was just pass and move on and learn it yourself

In hs i liked math, in higher edu institution i had no time for it

But ive been working full time almost whole time
If they were using Hasura, the data would be in the same shape as their view, so I don't think so.

There's nothing natural about zoning restrictions. Those are designed to keep people out. Especially working class people. They get to live very far away from where their services are needed in some extreme cases.

Fix the policy and house prices will drop. That creates a new problem of course for those who then end up with a Mortage that is under water. That's the real reason the policy does not get fixed.
Have you never suffered an ill-advised redesign that takes away all the features you needed because "it's cleaner"? Lucky you

The parent question still stands: why would NVIDIA need to police how their products get used? They're not manufacturing weapons or drugs.
GiveWell no longer commonly recommends earning to give, or so I'm told. The amount of money sloshing around in causes they consider as the most impactful outweighs the human talent available so they now more commonly recommend going into a role in a charitable organization.
Steam provides a great deal of utility for people selling games on their store via technology. DRM for example is technology, but so is validating installation, checking for updates, etc.
It's still not complete.

Think of what the Common LISP, Java, or Python specs would be if you deleted all of the specification of the semantics. The horror of it is that people would make languages that look like Common LISP, Java, or Python but they wouldn't interoperate and when you zoomed in on the details they'd all behave in nonsensical ways because, with no guidance to correct semantics, people will make up wrong things.

We live in an age when we are informed by good specifications. ALGOL and PL/I had hopelessly flawed specifications that weren't really implementable... There were lawsuits over COBOL specifications... But Common Lisp and Java were two early languages developed by adults.

In 2022 we should be at least up to a 1984 standard for writing standards.

"There's little benefit to writing your own asm these days"

Agreed, but programming in ASM makes one think differently. In my opinion every programmer should do some elementary Assembler as part of their training, say some basic projects based on 8086 stuff or even the simpler 8085/Z80 etc. It's a long while since I've done any serious ASM work but the techniques one learns and the ideas one develops frame important attitudes that can't be easily gathered from high level stuff (one gains a better understanding of the underlying hardware and such).

You're right, we still need people for this work, it'd be pretty hard to optimize a compiler without them methinks.

FYI, there's stuff I omitted to mention in the above comment, I mentioned it below in my reply to bitcurious. It's interesting 'fitness for purpose' arises given your ASM comment.
> I’m not really clear how this restraining order helps what you’re describing. Do you support the ability of the police to impose jail time in a way that circumvents the (elected) prosecutor’s office?

Absolutely not, but when the courts and the police can’t act together, you can understand why the police reach desperately for some sort of enforcement — any enforcement.

A few months ago I drove through the area and it’s ridiculous. It’s a real life recreation of hamsterdam from The Wire, with all the problems that existed in the show. So many people nodding face down on the sidewalk that genuinely look like dead bodies.

Is that what progressive and empathetic drug law looks like? There are certain drugs like weed where the main risk 15 years ago was the legal risk. But the main risk for heroin isn’t the legal risk, it’s the risk that you find yourself face down nodding out on a sidewalk in the tenderloin from fentanyl. Not enforcing reasonable drug laws is good for who? The drug users? No. The drug dealers? Who cares. The city? No.
GraphQL treats HTTP as a dumb pipe. All semantically relevant information is encoded in the GraphQL messages, and none of the HTTP metadata is relevant to the query posed by the client or the response returned by the server.

In theory, this allows the same processor to be used over alternative transport mechanisms and paradigms (e.g., over MQTT or Kafka topics) without adapting the messages themselves to the transport.

Not the OP, but I don't consider HN to be in the same category as say, facebook, CNN, twitter, anything with a feed for a few reasons. One is the lack of algorithms and dark patterns shoveling engagement-bait towards our way. Upvoted content, while not always pristine, tends to be better quality on average. Two, while HN is a great spot for "tech news", it pretty rarely has the "if it bleeds it leads" shock-bait type of articles that the alphabet networks do.

Lastly, this is a little of a life hack, but in the mornings I tend to glance once at the top 3 HN headlines; if there's no major "news-news" (ie not tech news) in the top three slots, then it's pretty safe to say that nothing historic like September 11th happened that day. It's a pretty peaceful way of checking that the world's continuing to keep on spinning. :)
> This under estimates appreciation due to the housing stock itself becoming more luxurious.

How so? Large, luxurious, houses get counted just the same way as small houses. If you mean that new houses that have not been resold aren't a factor in the index and that this biases it against the latest housing, OK. But even new houses tend to be priced in line with comparable sales, linking them to history in a way compatible with how the index is calculated.
>>Collectors want a watch that shows signs of life; they value a nice patina.

Yeah, but I don't. I don't have this watch as an investment - hopefully I'll use it for another 50 years and then someone else can use it again for 50 more years. In fact in addition to the service I paid £300 to have the dial replaced with a brand "new"(old stock) identical dial, because mine was showing very minor signs of corrosion. If a collector somewhere has an issue with that.....tough? Also I have no idea how anyone could ever even tell the dial was replaced, the new one is original Omega, just......flawless.

>> If I did, I'd likely end up having the original acrylic bubble being replaced with crystal, the case polished high heaven, new tritium applied, and it'd probably be worth $15k less.

That sounds perfect, if it were my watch I'd absolutely do that. Who cares how much it's worth at the end? If it's your grandfather's watch, then you probably won't ever sell it, will you?

Either way, I understand this is a personal choice.

>>for a watch that old, I'd strongly suggest you find an independent watchmaker or two and get them to give you an estimate before you do anything.

I did, both of them went "oh it's an omega, it's going to be about £400 for a full service mate" - so servicing it with Omega wasn't that much more expensive and it was a much better shout in my book, I know that whatever parts they replaced are original and brand new.

edit: just to add to the above - sorry, I realized I came across as very defensive. Yes of course your advice applies 100% if someone cares about maintaining the value of a vintage watch. Identical advice applies to maintaining vintage cars as well. But if you buy a vintage watch like me, to use it as....a watch....then just keep that in mind too.
Yeah, DHowett's and LHeckler's responses were kind of dickish, but Casey's own words, tone, and attitude aren't doing him any favors either.

Casey happens to be right on the technical issue in this case and people are just glossing over all the ways in which he was also wrong.

Now, personally, I believe it was the WT Team's responsibility to let it go as they're representatives of a larger organization and as such how they interact with people reflects back on the organization they work for.

But yeah, no heroes in this story.

All the good VB6 parts, plus a better language for any code needed.
People have to stop measuring things and need to start justifying things with arguments.

I like to compare "data driven decision making" and "reason driven decision making." Animals make data driven decisions, you don't want to behave like an animal. Sure it's better than being blind but your data should inform an argument not be the argument.
And the great thing is that they are using their own UI to build the Godot Editor itself.

There is even an alpha build of the editor that runs on Android (and even inside the Oculus Quest).
Maybe that is not what @JohnJamesRambo was talking about.

GraphQL or REST API, both have pros and cons. I can't see a superior technology, only change problems from the one with other problems of the other.
Unpaywall is different to crossref. The size will be similar as a lot of scientific DOIs are from crossref, and they're a common dataset to base initial data on.

https://unpaywall.org/data-format is the format for unpaywall

https://api.crossref.org/swagger-ui/index.html for crossref info
This reminds me of an article I read yesterday.

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2011/06/08/a-brief-history-of-the...
If a university pay walls a single paper or article they produce from the public they should immediately be stripped of all of their public funding. I can't think of a single reason why the public is forced to pay taxes to them if the only way they are able to see a benefit from it is by proxy of someone who is paying money to attend or someone spending their private money to access the information.
Do you worry about over-coupling when using Prisma? I'm hesitant to let front-end control the schema in any scenario where they're not the only users of that DB. Works great until it doesn't and can be a pain to migrate control to a backend/API team.
Me too, getting 90mpg was no joke. I would fill up once a month with a 2 hour daily commute.
I've found that this is a simple and effective way to handle relational data either in REST or Graphql. But imagine having to traverse trees, filter on data of different types and levels. Sort and filter on edges. I mean it can get pretty complex and I am not saying that REST would be easier on those complex cases.

In my opinion graphql and rest can both be super cute in simple everyday queries. But I am thinking that people are creating databases like postgres, mongodb, neo4j, etc, are doing exactly that. Trying to give us the power to query our data efficiently. Why not be able to expose directly the database and just add a layer for security, control, decorating and other stuff that would add value. Why rewrite databases?
Its not trivial, but it is widely understood that fonts baked into GPU texture is the way to go for fast text rendering. The decision, if they care about performance, should have been trivial, their listed excuses are not valid.

Dear ImGUI also does this, and while font baking is not trivial, integrating ImGUI is almost.
I'll try to avoid sarcasm in the future.

What I haven't understood yet is what significance "The solution is trivial" being sarcastic or not has on the article itself. I understand it's reflecting poorly on it due to what I said earlier, but is there something that makes the article harder to understand due to this?
(I realize this question sounds a bit rude, but I'm genuinely curious and I don't know how else to phrase it.)
Personally I hate those getting started checklists. They tend to be full of a bunch of stuff I observably do not need to do to use the product for my job, because I never have to do them to do it.

I know in the past I've just ad blocked the UI elements for those lists because they contain things which don't matter - or worse, which I can't do because the organization has disabled that feature for regular users in the company.

I'd be pretty curious to know what's on your list - I bet even with 5 items, your data is probably actually telling you you might not need it at all.
Scihub and unpaywall are entirely different endeavours.
It's at least a small step up from "We're sorry if you feel bad but..."

And I wouldn't even be so hard about them if their initial now-edited reply in this thread wasn't also combative & demeaning.
I don't think the parent was implying they were.
Sure you can query over GET but to a single endpoint - so no ability to utilize built in browser caching for any requests you want to optimize unless you offload them from graphql.

As for the 500, you can pass error details in the payload just as GraphQL would return as well, so sure you can get specifics of what went wrong.

There’s clearly value in GQL for specific use cases but IMO it’s often an early over-optimization that shouldn’t encapsulate your entire data layer until you actually need it for reasons and not just to stay bleeding edge.
> Bad API design is possible with any API style.

I think the point is that there isn't really an API. Basically, you get eval(). Have fun!
...except that they literally write "we were wrong" - so I'm not sure how you can interpret that as "avoiding to actually state they did something wrong"?
Yeah, it's normal. When you do the same damn thing for the tenth time (or more) and you've watched all the previous ones be discarded one way or another, usually without ever doing anywhere near enough good to justify making them in the first place, you start to get the sense that you're basically just one of the pegs up near the top of the Plinko board that is modern business—not even one of the players, or the puck, but a peg—and it fucking sucks. I think some dude named Marx wrote about this a bunch.

Anywho, I've solved this by having fewer opinions about technology and generally giving fewer shits. Doomed project? Yeah, they almost all are, so, fine. Bad tech? Most of it's terrible, that's normal. Some moron having way too big a say in the project and making it worse while creating unnecessary work? Yeah, that's normal.

We must imagine Sisyphus happy. I suppose.

I've kinda thought about starting an agency or trying to launch a product, but between not being able to stand looking at a computer screen after my day job, and my guess that that'd end up sucking just as much, but in different ways, I've not done it yet. Honestly, probably never will. Coming to terms with what I, realistically, won't ever do has helped some, too. Kill any dreams you don't care enough about to work toward today. Just let 'em go.
Of course, but when you are disclosing your business activities, selling to the military is a pretty major thing to mention, no? You wouldn't just lump it all under "gaming", because your gpus might be used to play video games.
