It was growing steadily but there was no clear way for me to monetize it. From a business perspective, I didn't know what I was doing. 4chan founder Chris Poole reached out to me at one point and we had a call (I was a bit star-struck!

About 14 years ago, I also tried to tackle the public conversation troll problem and created a forum that got quite a bit of traction. While Radiopaper takes the carrot approach ("write things people want to engage with"), I took

Do you think they should be forced to stay? Suppose it was easy for all of those high performers (who wanted to leave) to move to the USA. You would lose out on that extra tax revenue, and it would undermine the redistribution scheme.

>Despite a generally higher cost of living in Europe, salaries across the board are lower. I was more responding to that idea: everything is more expensive, and everyone is making a lot less (not just the top quintile). Seems like a bad

This is probably a controversial thing to say, but based on your and other comments in this thread, it seems like the social safety nets aren't worth the lower salaries. Or are they? It seems like non-Americans in this thread are unhap

Why are European engineers paid so low?

I tried to re-negotiate a 4 day work week, but they weren't having it, so ended up walking. I know it is privileged to say, but sometimes no amount of money is worth giving up things that are important to you. For me, I was giving up m

Sounds like the missing piece is the interviewing and negotiation skills. The money is there, you just have to convince them that it is in their best interests to give it to you.

I'm not going to say people don't also have stressful and difficult jobs while making less. But I will say that I was paid what I was paid because the employer and I negotiated, and determined that my salary was mutually financial

My read on that is that it is total comp, so it includes bonuses/RSUs/options. If you're not negotiating for those things, what are you doing. Though $200k base salary is not a crazy salary for a staff/principle/hig

>If someone wanted to secretly send X to someone else, they could just encrypt it. It would be far more effective than this image packing method. You're making a case against steganography?

Here's how I would rephrase that with "and": "Usually your code is extremely well documented and ready to go as is and I think your most recent PR could be improved in this area." It softens the blow while still ret

You could do that by hiding a document in any other document with existing tools. A picture in a picture is pretty specific to the format of most online media consumption.

Report me for what? Being realistic about what a "hide a picture in a picture" technology is probably going to be used for? What an extreme of overreaction. That's like inventing a "remote roadside detonation device&quot

Governments are super inefficient with tax dollars because there's no pressure for them to be efficient. If they run out of money they just raise taxes again. There is very little accountability. Some people believe the solution to thi

Many of those "old wrinkly people" were in fact quite attractive in their early political careers.

I see your point, but that's not really a photo inside of another photo. What kind of secret photos do people need to be hiding inside of other photos?

>Anything you say before the word “but” does not count. That's a funny one, and I agree, and it's also the reason I use "and" instead of "but" for those kinds of sentences. It sounds a little clunkier, but(!

He sounds impressive, and I can get with you on being anti-ageist, but saying "The guy knows how to live" just reinforces the idea that everyone has their own take on what's important, and one size doesn't fit all. My id

Exactly, you're getting at my point. Most of the anti-blockchain opinion pieces seem to be pointed at entrepreneurs or engineers. But how can you blame them for going where the money is.

But if investors are shoveling money at blockchain-based startups (I don't know if this is still the case), how do you convince young starry-eyed entrepreneurs that they don't need a blockchain?

Honest question, why? Do you sit in direct sunlight often? Are you looking for extreme battery life?
