True! Some XY problems are YY problems in disguise.

I, too, have noticed this in /r/cryptocurrency. Lots of posts that are just obviously trying to farm moons with generic popular opinions. Meanwhile, the mods are getting a salary in moons. Really interesting stuff, for sure. Back

I find it very interesting that this app's search traffic is most popular in Mongolia and China. I wonder if it's mostly bots and I wonder how popular Clubhouse actually is amongst real people.

I remember in 2017 in /r/dogecoin, we would tip each other thousands of doge (back then, it was 1/10th of a penny) for "such many random and much wow comment in forum". This was achieved with a DOGE tipping bot. Thi

Basecamp got cancelled for doing the exact same thing. Apparently, people who build fluff products are bored and just want to talk about politics and DEI all day at work.

And when they don't it's catastrophic. Still confused about stimulus checks not taking into account COL. Did no one think that was necessary? A body of 535+ elected officials decided that it would be equal because the calculation

Felt like a complete idiot, I guess I'm not smart enough to use AWS's UI in a safe way. When we start trusting tools, we inevitably become complacent. Some user flows are designed to be gotcha's. A little gotcha machine that

Can confirm. Default ElastiCache clustering option chooses an extremely high compute node, I ended up accidentally spending $1300 in a month just for testing some Redis clustering script. The minimum option ends up only costing a few doze

TLDR: This technology is in its infancy but is very much so in the R&D phase. He needs to retain top scientists and avoid making promises. The research isn't there yet, which is why Elon should be trying to retain people who have

Omg I can't believe I didn't see it this way first, this is quite some title!

by anonytrary 5y ago
Pretty off topic comment, but I read the title as "inheriting money is a way avoid being a high performer", which happens to be true, although completely irrelevant to the actual article. ;)

True, nothing stops me from wrapping a brick in a T-shirt and fooling the algorithm. Might be useful as a higher level classifer or bucketing heuristic.

You're right! That jogs my memory -- I think Wales himself mentioned in the podcast that "someone else said it" but he couldn't remember either.

I don't really care about the article, but I've noticed a very real trend of "unconditionally believe in the product, don't second-guess or ask why we're building what we're building". To me, that's w

This happens in American workplaces, too. In my experience, most people at tech startups think the same, especially non-product people (anyone who isn't in engineering, design or product). If you want to unconditionally love the missio

Not worth it. Saving a small percentage of your revenue per year and taking a larger percentage hit in productivity seems like a bad deal. I think hybrid work model will win, and offices will be required moving forward to support that.

Displeased to see the best comment at the bottom. This is spot on. People will always get the most work done when synchronicity is able to be maximized!

Perlin noise is comically easy to import, and it's better than value noise in pretty much every way. It's also not super hard to implement. It's like value noise but with vectors on the plane instead of scalars. There's

I get your point, but it seems pedantic. They still pay you for 40 hours a week. You are typically able to start a profitable side project in your own time.

You are right... I think it might be unsolvable. Nothing stops two people from conspiring to vote in the same direction. Either party A and B decide (off-network) to vote together, or party A pays party B to vote in the same direction. I do

Exactly what I was going to say. Governance is social weight, which is exactly what you have if you buy your way to 51%. Proof of person also suffers from this because decentralized collectives can conspire and/or collectively make dec

by anonytrary 6y ago
No. True decentralization requires proof of person. Proof of work, stake, capacity, etc. all make it possible for a single person to buy their way into higher voting power.

You clearly read my comment wrong. I said that cash is better than crypto when it comes to privacy and anonymity, which you are agreeing with, so I am not sure why you prefixed your comment with "No".

by anonytrary 6y ago
Proof of stake is an oligarchy. The only proof-of-X that works is if X guarantees one person has the same voting power as another person. Finding X is currently an unsolved problem in mathematics and computer science. No cryptocurrency does

You can only transfer what's in your pocket instantaneously when the recipient is right next to you. The real value of cash is that it is able to be nearly anonymous. Venmo and other services break this anonymity. The only thing cash h

That's why Zcash, Dash, Monero, et al. are probably going to pop off. That, or become completely illegal, we'll see... not even sure if that can even be enforced beyond pushing centralized exchanges to delist the coins. Coinbase d
