While we're at it, can we build a blockchain to store the votes already? It's 2022!

Perhaps we could fund HN by issuing NFTs for each poll response.

I'm disappointed that we haven't talked about

a) using the GPU to accelerate the poll item sorting (EDIT: I was wrong! Someone did!)

b) rewriting not just the backend in Rust, but the whole front-end in Rust, compiling to WebAssembly. (Drawing the whole thing into the canvas instead of using the icky DOM, too!)

c) Machine learning wasn't mentioned once

Remember the Slashdot equivalent of blockchaining everything? "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!"
