I'm at a startup, not FAANG, but it's pretty much the same for me, minus the rusty part. It's fine IMO. Work is about producing value for your employer, so do whatever it takes to do that. Usually it's about meetings,

I moved to the middle of nowhere and did not take a paycut. Now I work remotely and I'm saving so much money that I might even take a year off after this job expires. It still sucks and I hate working, but it's the least bad path

I did. If you list a room for rent in SF that looks nice and is competitively priced, you'll also have thousands of applications. What do you think is the innovation here? He's offering housing in a market with no housing supply

Serious question: how does a guy like this actually get into a business like this? If I walked into YC suggesting to build dorms, I'm sure I'd be laughed out. What's the differentiator for Jon? The only distinction I can

IMO the biggest threat to 1Password is Yubico. Webauthn already works, all that's missing is the adoption. In the not-so-distant future, the idea of password management will be laughable.

It's always had politics. It just used to be run by communists, anarchists, and libertarians. Then money got involved, and now it's run by social justice warriors.

You're right, but you missed the biggest part of the problem. The "nothing at all controversial" part changes, often without warning. Your history, however, is immutable. I think the only way to fix it is for everyone to be

The gains of investment can offset the losses from inflation, yeah, but I'd also be drawing down. The problem is that I might live longer than 25 years and I might not be able to work by that point. I checked my math again with https

That's also exactly my experience. Thankfully (maybe?) society recognizes that I'm too mentally deficient to do it on my own, so they pump me full of amphetamines so that I can be a good boy at and get my work done. It would be a

I think you're wrong. I make a typical SF software engineer salary and I live in a low cost of living area. The reality is that I still need about $3M to permanently stop working. Healthcare is expensive and the dollars that I'm

I just cannot understand how so many people would find meth enjoyable. It's clearly an epidemic, but why ? I take regular old amphetamines for productivity (technically ADHD), and they're really effective, but not what I would c

Well, I am very surprised, thanks for the info :)

I love free software, and I hate non-free software. Writing free software doesn't pay very well, on account of it being free. Maybe I should work for FSF or Mozilla, but I'd really like to make enough in industry to be comfortable

I would be very surprised if that were true. Apple needs to be able to help users reset passwords and recover data. And it would be a complicated key management situation when adding or removing devices.

Sure. I'm happy I could help. I take the "extreme" (but IMO correct) view that all proprietary dev work is immoral. This seems clear to me because whatever you build will some day need to be rebuilt in a libre way. That mig

I think you've got some great advice here, and "recursively learning" is a good way to explain it. In open source, especially, this is such a good strategy to follow. It's why Linux is fun :) I don't know how you a

Fascinating. I didn't know that was so significant to Google. That does explain a lot of what we see in the search results though.

Thanks. Almost all of that makes good sense, and it's pretty clear that optimization kept working so they just kept doing it. I wonder how much farther it will go. You lost me here though: > Hundreds of pages a day that were of ab

It is. I can't unban them and see what they said. HN does it correctly. I can show flagged posts. This adds a helpful dimension in figuring out what a community values. I think moderation being opt-out is wise.
