Not fix a gaping hole that was reported to them repeatedly for years.

I think a 30-60 min assessment should be enough, and maybe you can also list the salary?

It's an absurd take. Plenty of folks who work in tech can make money doing hackery dark magic, but guess what? It's not their day job that keeps them from doing so.

Peter Lynch had a pretty interesting talk where he said that on average the stock market has a sizable dip every few 2-3 years, meaning it's lower at the end of that year than it was at the beginning. Generally though, it goes up over

I think even back then a Rolex would run you at least 1-2 months salary. Granted money went further back then... but if you consider the median tech salary, a lot of Rolexes are still 1-2 months salary away.

HN does not have a nuanced view of this space. There's a lingering assumption that everyone involved in crypto naively wants the "old way" gone in favor of bitcoin, which is completely absurd, or that the rest are scammers.

Here's a thorough analysis of NFT wash trading. The activity is overstated, it's there, but the majority of volumes are not wash sales: https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/2022-crypto-crime-repor...

Yes, it is! https://news.bitcoin.com/moonbirds-nft-sales-skyrocket-captu... It's just not the same NFTs from 1-2 years ago that are doing high sales volume. Interest rotates around. Just look at the sales volumes overa

Yes, it was a typo.

Why would there be insane electricity costs? It doesn't have to be a POS blockchain. Also, it's not completely vaporware since the proposal includes backing the coin by $1B to kick it off.

Web3 is niche and I think social media is outside of that niche and will be for a very long time.

How is it skirting the law to trade based on what he publicly says?

They are except when they're not. Plenty of NFTs are on-chain. Also, if nothing else, they've provided a lot of creatives an opportunity to get compensated for their work. The "art" NFT eco-system is very much akin to a

Lot's of people shit on NFTs, but they are certainly a use case.

If it were me I would insist on an equal split since they don't even have anything.

Check out the book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" - it's about the US playboook. It's not any better.

I think these days security testing is just glorified QA. The secret sauce is developing your own methodology, which at the end of the days is a mega comprehensive checklist.

I think it's apples/oranges. Beanie babies had your average joe mobbing the stores black friday style. Even grandma was in on it. With NFTs, everyone is talking about them, but few folks have gone so far as to buy one relatively s
