sohailk··on Web3 is centralized and inefficient
There's a few more NFT market places you can sell it on? You can try selling it P2P? Opensea is reliant on the NFT marketplace/culture, not the other way around.

Alchemy has a NFT indexer api as well. I also know of at least two other offerings that will launch very soon. Additionally, you can interact w the Opensea contracts without a UI.

The "How are you?" question is a way of setting the context of the conversation quickly. Most of the time, everything's okay ("I'm good, what's up with you?"). But sometimes it's not and the "How are you?" question gives you an opportunity to express that it's not: ("Man, I'm feeling pretty crappy right now").

  > out-of-place answer of "Hindi"
it's using wolframalpha - which interprets 'Shanghai' as a movie made in India. this is probably because it doesn't have a language field for cities but does for movies.

sohailk··on Ask HN: Share an idea?
dataset could be provided through google fonts maybe. you'd need to replicate a few iphone camera quality versions for each font though.

any links for machine learning images? I could give this a go.

sohailk··on What's new in Xcode 7
you could potentially bundle xcode + xctool + github into some sort of adhoc app store, no?

my impression was that freshness and # of updates per release has an affect on ASO.
sohailk··on The new MacBook
whenever intel comes out with their new broadwell CPUs (different to the newly released macbook version).
sohailk··on 6.0 Northern California earthquake
I didn't downvote, but it seems that all these companies would(should) have backups outside of the bay area. I can't imagine major services going down for an extended period of time. I do foresee a significant drop in overall productivity in the area for a longer period though.
sohailk··on Facebook acquires Oculus VR
Smart move by FB, honestly. I think its safe to say that VR will be a large part of the way we consume content in a couple years. Acquiring Occulus puts them ahead of the competition...for now.

yeah, sorry. we've only had my 13' macbook air and we made this over the last 24 hours. I'll be fixing the responsive design once I get some sleep, heh.
sohailk··on Show HN: MemStash - Commit things to memory
Thanks! Still a few issues with the site responsiveness that I'll need to sort out - at least once I get some sleep!

And I'll get that typo sorted out, heh.
