Got an invite? Hard spending money on an UrbitID when I cant access a demo or anything. Logging in with MetaMask does nothing.


you still could be a comet, from FAQs:

Comets are 128 bits and have no parents. They can be launched by anyone. They are temporary, disposable identities. Being disposable and essentially unlimited, they will likely not be trusted by default by others on the Urbit OS network, though you shouldn't have any problem until the network grows much larger. They have long, hard-to-memorize names, like ~racmus-mollen-fallyt-linpex-watres-sibbur-modlux-rinmex.



What does this have to do with anything related to HackerNews? Go fuck yourself.


Whoa, posting like that will get you banned here. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules.

The submitter presumably thought the story was intellectually interesting, which would make it on topic. See the first paragraph of the guidelines.


I did also. I would check out the same three code-making/spy club books from my elementary school library.

Now that I have kids I will see how it fares with them.

Thanks for sharing!


re: getting kids into things, only thing i'd add is to be patient.

Often kids will see a thing and not connect with it at all. Then two or three years later think it's the greatest thing they've ever seen.


I read "smbc" as "xkcd" and immediately aggreed with your comment.


This style is much more in line with what SMBC writes.


Thank you for introducing me to smbc. I kept hitting the "RANDOM" comic button and hit this one, which is meta like the speculative one: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2015-01-28


The topic is more SMBC. Both XKCD and SMBC routinely do X^absurd type comics.


I just wanted to say "Thank You!" For jonesforth. I don't know how many times i've read it. It's probably what made everything "click" for me, so "thanx"


Or try KSUID [0]. K-Sortable Unique IDs. I'm not affiliated, just easy to code from scratch and sortable.

After skimming the comments i was upset it was not about the band Lard.


Not a true statement. Where are you searching? I can find nothing to explain this other than the comment below about someone dying, but that doesn't explain anything either.


> Not a true statement. Where are you searching?

At the bottom of this page is a search box. Into it type "black bar" (without the quotation marks). It takes you to this link:

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=black%20bar&sort=byPopularity&...

Have you not seen the search box at the bottom of nearly every HN page? Perhaps that question sounds a bit brusque, but in effect, whether you meant it or not, you called me a liar, and I rather take exception to that.


I think they failed to mention other sites. Here in Springfield Missouri we have an AT&T building which seems highly fortified like what is described in the article.
