Yep, I'm not giving my email to something before I have a decent understanding of what it does. Even the "Try it out" redirects you instantly to a signup modal.

For a lot of stuff that's really not a hard problem. You just create the NFT of the hash before publicly releasing the item, it's only for stuff that exists out there in the world already that's a problem. Doesn't mean i

Data security will get better as the risk calculus changes. A lot of companies are mentally doing math: (Probability of cyber attack per year) * (cost of ransom + costs of downtime) = X, (Overhead of additional cybersecurity personnel)= Y I

This is exactly what they're doing now, they're just doing it with law enforcement agencies and not military. Military is honestly going to be worse at all of this, as they don't have the investigative capacity. This also duc

I think the whole point of it being central is that it's not verified by everyone. "Everyone" doesn't have the force of law without getting into politics, but that "central" body does. It doesn't make a di

What happens if you buy Bitcoin, it goes up, and you buy something directly with Bitcoin? Do you get taxed on those "gains?". Or only if the proceeds end up back in USD?

Yes. I mean, if you're a professional currency trader, that's how they make their money. IRS really just cares about "income" though, doesn't really matter where it comes from: job, yard sale, crypto, selling drugs,

Doctors and Nurses actually have somewhat of a good reason, though I do think they are pushed too far (especially of late). Handoffs during shift changes mean opportunities for information to be miscommunicated or lost, which negatively aff

See every cheap (but tremendously tasty) mexican food taco truck or stand! I personally have noticed an "uncanny valley" of restaurants, where I'd much rather eat cheaply (see Chick-fil-a, taco trucks, local pizza shops, or a

I think where that 5% figure is used incorrectly: if you look at the other factors, they seem to not be "someone had a stroke, caught covid, and died", they're stuff like "Someone had Covid, developed pneumonia and died&

Also manager. I feel like the manager's communication is off, though the end result is the same. All I need to ensure is that a) you are working on this HARD and know to turn down other tasks (and possibly put in extra hours) and b) yo

Think of a treadmill as a tank tread, just kept off the ground. If the treadmill touches something in the back, it get's traction and will will try to "ride" that arm/hand/person/dog, pushing the treadmill back

So there are two routes you can take if you want some sort of gamified fitness bike at home. First one is the Peloton or one of the similar bikes that focus on the spin style classes. The other option, for those that are more into cycling,

Could you define what metrics you would use to see if the market is "hot" or "cold"? Could you let us know what each of those metrics would change in terms of contributions? It's easy to say "hot and cold"

There are a bunch of stuff that make this hard to calculate. One is that cases are undercounted, while deaths are almost certainly not. Another is that deaths are correlated to available healthcare. 3x cases would mean that the standard of

I mean, it has the same benefit of other SaaS, you get to avoid building something and can spend that dev time on building something that solves a unique problem AND you have the benefit of knowing that you get to focus 100% on your app or

I mean, if the only requirement is "have software that works", yea, go nuts. Look at a ton of tech demos, working is the goa the goal, the code sucks, it's fine, it's gonna be rewritten anyway. Practically the requiremen

I don't think anyone is expecting syntactically valid code (or at least that would be huge red flag for me if I interviewed). You do get bonus points the more "real" and consistent your whiteboard code is though. I think peop

I mean, short term yes, but long term no. For half a million bucks an inmate, you have a lot of room to recover some money. Googling pulls up a stat that 4000 people are incarcerated in NYC. If you could spend 1.9 million dollars and reduce

I think it's not wrong so much as you have tipping points that are really unknown, and a lot this depends on where we are in the tipping point. How much debt is too much debt? How much money printing is too much? How much is an asset r

This is like an example of persuasive bullshitting from the article! Poker amateurs play badly regardless of reason. Poker professionals wouldn't adjust their strategy based on some random guy at the table. The sample size is incredibl

I think I would be OK if we wanted to define all endeavors with an unsure outcome gambling, but I believe that makes most things in life gambling which means we need another word for especially risky endeavors with an unsure outcome. I thin

Yes, exactly. Bets in the game are determined if they are plus EV, but what game you sit at is determined by Kelly Criterion (or usually a 20-25 buyin roll depending on the game, your life roll, etc)

I (and I think a lot of poker players) would disagree. Everything in life involves some sort of risk, but doesn't mean it's gambling. Gambling is defined exactly by those two properties. You could die driving to the store, but the

See that's what I don't follow. For most companies, when they IPO, they have the cash on hand from going public. The stock price doesn't really matter anymore for day to day running of the company. Sure a lower stock price lo

You get those 73 engineers in a room, then what? What do they write? You get 15 engineers, 3 DBAs, 5 sys admins + their managers. While that's spinning up, you get a bunch of business analyists to write the requirements. A first versio
