A large number of protocols on Ethereum and Solana blockchains have no revenue

news.ycombinator.com Omkar-Godbole 2025-12-02 05:20:53

Have you heard of disguised unemployment? It refers to a situation where a portion of the workforce appears to be employed, but isn't contributing to the economy's output. Consider the massive capital expenditure loss from ghost cities, which represent unoccupied infrastructure. Something similar can be said for the top smart contract blockchains, which hosts hundreds of decentralized protocols. Of these, only a minority are generating revenue, while the rest produce no yield, loosely represent

The Framework Desktop is a beast

I've been running the Framework Desktop for a few months here in Copenhagen now. It's an incredible machine. It's completely quiet, even under heavy, stress-all-cores load. It's tiny too, at just 4.5L of volume, especially compared to my old beautiful but bulky North tower running the 7950X — yet it's faster! And finally, it's simply funky, quirky, and fun!In some ways, the Framework Desktop is a curious machine. Desktop PCs are already very user-repairable! So why is Framework even bringing the

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Recently, T Satellite service officially became available for both existing T-Mobile customers and those on other networks that want satellite backup for emergencies. I have since signed up for the service myself and had the opportunity to field test it alongside a Galaxy S25 Edge that is capable of utilizing Skylo satellites via Verizon’s network.

Installing a mini-split AC in a Brooklyn apartment

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-27 21:06:03

Last year, 2024, we replaced four PTACs with a mini-split AC. I’ve been asked about it often enough (by neighbors, coworkers, friends) that I decided to write up the experience. Hopefully it’s useful for you, too. Overall this cost us about $40k, including the cost for closing up the PTAC holes. We’ll probably never make the money back on electricity cost savings, so the main benefits are that we have more quiet and more stable temperatures now and overall I’m glad that we did it.

AI Is Making It Nearly Impossible to Find a Well-Paying Job. Is This the World We Want?

The answers to those rarely-asked questions have become increasingly clear in recent months, as the looming threat of AI automation appears to be taking a concrete toll on the workforce.

Build durable workflows with Postgres

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-02 23:24:07

When we started building a durable workflows library, the most critical architectural decision we faced was what data store to use for workflow metadata. The core durable workflow operations are simple–checkpointing workflow state and recovering an interrupted workflow from its latest checkpoint. Almost any data store can handle these operations, but choosing the right one is critical to ensure workflows are scalable and performant.

Leak Reveals the Workaday Lives of North Korean IT Scammers

Job hunting is a fresh kind of hell. Hours are wasted sifting through open roles, tweaking cover letters, dealing with obtuse recruiters—and that’s all before you get started with potential interviews. Arguably, some of the world’s most prolific job applicants—or at least most persistent—are those of North Korea’s sprawling IT worker schemes.

Framework Desktop (2025) Review: Powerful, but perhaps not for everyone

The most obvious question is “Why?” Framework builds modular , repairable laptops that anyone can take apart and put back together again. It’s a big deal in an era where laptops are regularly sold as a single unit that, should one part break, goes in the trash. Since every part of a Framework machine can be swapped out, you can keep one going for as long as your patience, and the supply of spare parts, allows.

Framework Desktop Review: A Delightful Surprise

The Framework laptops did something no other laptop could. With the ability to upgrade or swap out nearly every internal component, they are sustainable, unlike any other. But the Framework Desktop isn’t so unique. After all, one of the primary reasons people buy (or build) desktop PCs is the ability to upgrade the system on their own. This 4.5-liter mini-ITX PC isn’t so different from many of the compact PCs you can already buy. And yet, Framework’s distinctive approach makes this stand out.

Framework has built a name for itself by taking the locked down world of laptops and making them modular, upgradable, and repairable.
