Could you elaborate on the etc etc.? I work at a company that has a handful of full time remote people. They're mostly senior engineers who had to move for personal reasons but were too valuable to part with. We have Slack, we have net

How does that justify a bill that essentially subsidizes the industry by banning its competitors? I understand _why_ people support it, but I think it's wrong of them to demand that their industry alone gets to be protected.

Exactly - just look at how well the Kansas economy performed after removing much of their regulation.

On the surface, it's a pretty weird acquisition. Hasselblad is known for making high end, large format cameras for professional photographers. Their flagship products are large, heavy, and cost tens of thousands of dollars. How do you

Please elaborate with sources - those are big claims!

Clinton did win the popular vote by a large margin, although that's not really germane to the grandparent comment. I think the point he was trying to make is that Assange/wikileaks lost a lot of credibility during the recent U.S.

I'm having a hard time believing anything substantial from the linked thread. It seems like an obvious example of confirmation bias and frequency illusion. If anyone has some data or a "smoking gun" so to speak, I'm all

How would fighting someone make your ideas valid?

That probably still counted as an attribution.

The advertising industry seems to rival the military in its fondness for acronyms.

It's a joke. There are dozens of cities with articles calling them "the next Silicon Valley". But everyone still moves to California or New York when they need to raise big rounds and hire lots of engineers.

Well, he's right in the sense that it's not illegal to lie - it's the companies paying the people who don't disclose who bear the liability.

Is the takeaway here, "Be prepared to be responsible for the negative externalities your business creates"?

For readers who are (fortunately) unaware of alt-right symbolism, "globalist" is a code word for "Jew".

I like Metafilter's discussion as well. I think the key is having fairly heavy handed moderators who are involved in the community. That keeps discussions civil and on track, and it also tends to drive away the "harassment-as-free

Seems like it... this can't possibly be legal, right? Surely the company should be forced to liquidate to make customers whole again, or issue debt/equity to get the money. I'd love to read a take on this from someone with a

What evidence is there of matriarchy, and how is that defined? I think you're right that today a popular theory among anthropologists is that agriculture led to many inequalities, but like all things ancient, there just isn't mu

Oh yes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_astronauts It's all pseudoscience/"amateur" history though. As far as I know, no experts take it seriously.

I'm really surprised to see this comment on HN. Maybe dang should nuke this whole story before it gets ugly...

Anecdotally, it seems that investors (funds, really) are getting more conservative with series A rounds, but the seed money is still quite loose. But bubble-spec is kind of a pointless thing to argue on the internet. Either buy your short p

Isn't everything "just data"?

Thanks for clearing that up - rereading the article, I see now that I missed the sentence describing the informal, non-binding nature of the vote.

Most people didn’t know, didn’t care, or couldn’t figure out how to vote. Carbonvote is a poll that weighed user votes by their ether account holdings. Only 5.5% of the total ether holders bothered to vote. A quarter of the DAO-Fork votes

This was a fun read, if a little lacking in detail (understandably). I'm curious what they mean by saying AngelPad is the "top ranked accelerator in the world". I've heard similar things about both YC and Techstars, alth

Wow! If "a group of remote viewers" concluded that, it must be true!

Out of curiosity, do you buy albums outright, or not listen to enough music to justify paying monthly?

I think the problem with racial profiling is a Bayesian one. Even if P(terrorist|brown looking person) is slightly higher than P(terrorist|white looking person) (which I'm not even convinced is true), P(terrorist) is so insanely low th

I'd love to read some excerpts of the translations. I'm tempted to buy some of the papers but it's hard to justify sight unseen - I don't know how much detail they contain.

I'd love to see some comments on what it's like raising money in Toronto. Is there a local investor ecosystem? Do companies raise a series A led by a Toronto firm? Do they fly to NYC or SF and hope to find investors who don't

Well yeah, the government can't arrest you for it. But that doesn't mean anyone has to listen to you or let you be a part of their community.
