The deep sea is home to some of the weirdest creatures on Earth, from ghostly elder fish to carnivorous harp sponges.

The term Web3 was originally coined by Etherium cofounder Gavin Wood as a secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer version of the Internet. The idea was to build an Internet based on blockchain technology and a peer-to-peer network, without the need for large data centers or third-party providers. These days, however, blockchain is most famous as the tool enabling cryptocurrencies.

Cities obey the laws of living things

news.ycombinator.com Elena Kazamia 2025-10-06 20:31:01

Who would disagree with Dickens that London’s green spaces are the city’s “lungs?” A city is an animal that sleeps, although some never do, like New York City or Hong Kong.
