The problem with using HN for this is that it doesn't provide any vetting. You don't know if you share enough beliefs to even begin to become friends. You don't necessarily have a shared experience to relate over.

FAANG wants people who can 'get things done' in the byzantine code bases that they maintain. That is why they pay so much and why turnover is so high. Fundamentally fixing the problem is not necessarily possible. At FAANG basic th

The price of water can't go up significantly because the marginal cost of water to farmers is lower than that to residential consumers. Its a lot easier to buy out a few farmers than to take the political hit on high residential water

5km (3.1 miles) is really not very far. An in shape person who doesn't run should be able to do 5km with little training. Humans are naturally very good at running. Start by walking 1 km every day. Do that until it is easy. Then increa

I expect the opposite. With self-driving cars the cost of an Uber drops significantly. Instead of more cars we will end up with less cars at higher utilization. Why would you personally own a car when Uber is 10x cheaper for all use cases o

Moving things to bitcoin with government registered wallets makes tracking a lot easier. Should make basic things like taxes and tariffs easier to enforce. Could possibly do a lot to shrink the under the table grey market in El Salvador. Of

10 years ago I'd agree with your sentiment. But now? I really think peak oil is overblown. A realistic scenario is linear or polynomial increases in oil prices over the next couple decades. The long tail of oil may end up at $10-20 a g

America is a huge country and we've been discovering over the last decade that we are a lot more divided than we realized. It's like combining France, Germany, England, Spain and Italy into one country and expecting them to agree

Netflix has open sourced a lot of code that you can look at. Hysterix, Eureka, Titus, etc. Disclaimer, I worked on open sourcing Titus and I think it has some great Java code.
