Hey Hacker News!

I owe so much to this community, it was a great source of learning when I was a teenage hacker myself.

Winning HackNow, a 5k EUR prize for teenage hackers, changed my life at age 15. Just having someone believe in you changes the course of things so much.

There's never been a better time to be a teenage hacker. At the same time, it can be very difficult if living in a place where you aren't understood. During school I got routinely bullied and even told by teachers themselves that I would go nowhere, let alone be able to make software.

Today more than $30bn of cryptoassets are governed by software I built — aragon.org

Now that I can, I want to give back. If you are a teenage hacker, go apply! And if you know some teenage hacker that could benefit from this, please direct them my way :D

Thanks!

Completely mind blowing


I've been working on something somewhat similar for producing legal documents, called Linked Markdown (https://linked.md). So the section about modules/importing and dynamic references really rang a bell. Very cool stuff, will keep track of progress.


I'm very interested in computational law. Drop me an email if you ever want to chat.


So they can backdoor them without you even noticing. Wonderful


Even if this is not the current ulterior motive and the reason is really a terror threat, this will eventually happen. It's just all to convenient if a foreign diplomat or businessman is coming to your country to take out the laptop and quickly insert a firmware backdoor.

Why would we expect a country that bugged the German Chancellor or provided malware that was inserted by another five-eyes partner into the telephone system that the EU administration used, not to (ab)use this opportunity?

Once this is in effect, don't travel to the US with a laptop.

For a moment my brain read "Tim Berners-Lee wins Turing Complete" LOL


I love the tool! Didn't know my MongoDB server had 3 vulnerabilities. PS: I love that they implemented Material Design on command line LOL


Hey there!

We just open sourced a set of Ethereum contracts for anyone to freely provide, consume and invest in transparent and fair insurance vehicles.

Insurance can get really bureaucratic and opaque; using Ethereum, bureaucracy is nonexistent, and everything is transparent. No individual party has control over the funds, or can withdraw all its money at any time.

We want Provident One to be a community driven effort to create and standardize a set of Solidity contracts that anyone in the world can use to create insurance vehicles that are more transparent, fair and free.

Thanks!


Hi there,

This is the exact reason why we built Unpatent (https://unpatent.co) so feel free to reach me at luis@(our domain name) and we'll help you out!


And days before that I was with him in a fundraising dinner and we were like besties. Sociopaths.

(Edited to reflect the point more politely)


That's a very rude thing to say publicly.

Are you suggesting people should be rude to you when your product is shit?
