Yeah maybe I didn’t follow exactly, I meant this as a common example of when the hook dependencies rules must be ignored.

Fairly common: triggering a side-effect that uses some state value, only when a different piece of state changes.

useEffect(() => { doSomething(someState) }, [otherState])

Thats not true, Caroline and the main conspirators pled guilty and took plea deals, this is not immunity, they will still be sentenced to prison.

Pretty cool, interested to see where you take this. Have you checked out Hypothesis? It's a similar tool thats been around for a long time: https://web.hypothes.is/

Ash is an amazing framework for Elixir that comes with functionality very equivalent to DRF/filtersets/etc, admin, as well as automatic JSON APIs, GraphQL APIs, plus works great behind LiveView. The maintainer is extremely active and is about to release a much improved website for getting started and learning. I highly suggest joining the discord if you are looking for Django for Elixir.

Numerical Elixir (NX)[1] is improving the number crunching situation!

Yep, but the important part is that

1. Users pay for their own storage, as directly as possible, otherwise they are not in control.

2. Any centralized APIs are fully interchangeable, ideally you can literally select a different gateway in the app, and keep working all within 5 seconds.

Yep I agree, among other things, Filecoin's ridiculous minimum specs definitely reduce the network's decentralization - really not a fan of this.

With Storj I cannot say I have run a node but the first (required) step is literally registering an account and providing all your personal details on the Storj website, if there is an advanced way around this, its not easy to find in the documentation.

Thanks for the reply.

As many other comments suggest, I think it would be great to provide clear documentation to users that they can:

1. Run the entire app themselves, with their own chain/storage nodes etc - its the only way to really guarantee/prove the software is decentralized.

2. Access your data from both any centralized providers (such as yourself) or a local instance, ideally its so transparent you can literally select a different gateway in the app and keep working all within 5 seconds.

This is the bare minimum I would personally require before adopting a "decentralized" software tool.

Looks like you all are taking an incremental approach and not quite there, its a tough problem to solve but I wish you luck!

Hey congrats, the product looks great! Love to see the rise of e2ee tools.

Why did you all decide to go with Storj, a fairly centralized distributed storage aggregator, rather than a decentralized storage network like Filecoin or Sia/Skynet?

Who pays for the storage on Storj? For a tool to be decentralized, the user needs a means to pay a node directly and the ability to seamlessly move between providers, ie interchangeable and zero lock-in. Does Storj allow crypto payments and this type of mobility?

Also noticed the app runs on Firebase/Google, are there plans to move away from this?

Do services like Facebook Messenger or Twitter allow you to totally delete/redact messages, or is it just hiding the data from the user's view on one side?

Also take a look at Skynet, a file sharing protocol built on top of Sia: https://siasky.net/

Good question! The full announcement should answer your question: https://blog.sia.tech/skynet-bdf0209d6d34

Truly remarkable result from the Sia core team after 5+ years of work!

It will be really interesting to see how the whole JAMStack "static is the new dynamic" movement (NextJS, Gatsby), and the immutable deploy URL pattern can benefit from being built on top of something like this![1]

https://D.tube/ is another one!

In addition to this, do they delete Messenger data, including group chat messages?

Facebook needs to clarify what actually happens to data.

The issue here is not some developer gaining a temporary snapshot of a few million records, it is that Facebook _itself_ is doing and productizing real-time psychological profiling on billions of people.

A little unfinished, but https://storagestatistics.com includes backblaze and others

Hosts already set prices, in addition I have seen the Sia community occasionally discuss adding some further pricing tools on the reddit, see what features are being added on the roadmap: https://trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-public-roadmap

I personally have not had issues moving siacoins, but a few exchanges have been slow to patch issues on their end in the last month: https://www.reddit.com/r/siacoin/comments/7pc5rv/brief_offic...

Very interesting to contrast with competitor Sia's latest status update.

Sia quietly developed a fully functional network over the last 5 years, and has now stated they will begin big marketing efforts.

Also, no reason IPFS cannot integrate with Sia.

Do the previously vague 1031 laws mean one should file 2017 and 2018 taxes differently? Is it legally valid to treat tokens as like-kind assets in 2017?

I actually started another HN thread today trying to answer questions about taxing crypto and ether tokens:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16108475

It seems like forks, smart contracts and related complexities (most recently noticed ETH -> WETH on radarrelay.com), coins/tokens that function in different ways (minting), all seem like they can affect record keeping for taxes in interesting ways... at the very least making it difficult to point to transactions and call them simple trades.

Article gives me the impression it was never a "lucrative tax break" and just a point of confusion, and coin-to-coin exchanges have always been subject to capital gains.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

To clarify: paid immediately as in the current tax cycle, and not when liquidated to fiat as another reply suggests is law in Canada.
