   I would like this adjusted by local cost of living. A lot of the highest are in the Bay Area, where $150k ain't what it is in cheaper cities like New York. (Not a joke.)

   I know this sounds like crazy pants, but I would actually use this in the real world if it were a NodeJS module. Not for anything compute-intensive or serious, but for creating very secure very isolated VMs to run web apps or other serv

   One one hand you could call this "debunking." On the other hand if it's true it demonstrates that many of the people who claimed to see Yetis were not stoned, drunk, hallucinating, making things up, or misidentifying somethin

   Now can we chill out with the cult of the top ten school? I mean it's not like Stanford, MIT, Harvard, etc. aren't top-notch places, but you don't have to have gone to one of those to be good at what you do. They also cost

   Very, very typical government contracting. Government IT contracting is like free money. Great work if you can get it, and getting it probably involves swallowing multiple congressmen's semen.

   The biggest culprit is real estate hyperinflation, which is just as bad or worse in the Bay Area.

    Look closely. In many cases they don't actually have good social skills. That's the thing about being an asshole. It covers that up. Blind raging assertiveness is not good social skills anymore than banging on something really h

    I released something huge a while back: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne I got some good feedback, but more than my fair share of "this is the stupidest fucking idea I've ever heard of" and such.

    "One of the main questions about something like this is about who would do boring, low-paid work with this sort of basic income." Computers and robots. Not true quite yet, but will be in the next few decades.

    I never thought that. I always assumed all cyber-war capable governments had hidden caches of 0-day vulnerabilities.

    This could be countered by setting up a lot of fast nodes. Stealthier malicious nodes that selectively drop or tar-pit traffic though would be harder to fight...

    I would say that the bar for "strong enough" is higher for single founders. The biggest thing is that you have to be a very, very strong self-starter. One of the things a partnership gives you is socially constructed motivation. A

    I can think of three reasons to not have a co-founder that are not necessarily relevant to the strength of the venture: (1) The venture is not in an area that's trendy right now, making it something where people who don't share th

    There's a world of difference between a hire and a co-founder. Being concerned about character and honesty is very, very legitimate in a startup scene with a ton of sociopathic reptiles and fast-talking flakes floating around.

    There's tons of UFO videos on YouTube. The problem is that if you exclude the obvious CGI and other hoaxes, that leaves a data set of unidentified objects captured on camera. But that provides little evidence as to what that object m

    More accurately: there is not enough good-quality evidence vs. the sample size to tip the needle. If we had very very few observations of Loch Ness -- like say if it was Lake Vostok -- but we had a few Nessie sightings, that would be differ

    Yeah I think that's the crux of the age-ism too. Anything that's going to lead anywhere in the same solar system as consciousness uploading is going to be a wee bit harder than serving ads at volume from the cloud. The lack of a l
