Read about the tech and troll forums to decide. It's possible (true) that people can genuinely invest time and money in BS technologies. See: Golem, Tangle. That said, some certainly is pump-and-dump.

surrey-fringe··on The relationship between social media use and well-being
Interesting how much of an echo chamber HN is wrt social media use. I certainly agree, but most people I know would tell us that it's great for keeping in touch and organizing events.

surrey-fringe··on Seven earth-sized planets discovered circling a star 39 light years from Earth
You have a path from earth to a planet 40 lightyears away. There is a planet every K meters that can house a fuel tank to serve as a checkpoint. Let F be the amount of fuel to take a ship between two adjacent planets. Let 0 be the first and L be the last checkpoint.

Suppose a rocket can hold 3F. Go to A, deposit F, and return 2 times. Next rocket goes to B, stopping at A each way to take F -- do the B trip two times. Now you have two tanks at B and none at A. Repeat like binary addition till you fill L-2 with F, then repeat for L=L-3 to L=0. Now each checkpoint except the last and next-to-last has 1F. A final ship can make the trip to the planet, build a civilization, find a fuel source and return with pics.

Relatively minor compared to the industrial revolution, maybe. But it's certainly not minor if you look at the change in world population when Sumeria began.

Just a thought. Obviously I think anyone who goes vegan means well.
