Can you elaborate on the technicals? Is it a phone app? Does it work through QR codes or NFC? Is there a Pix "card"?

I would imagine exchanges these days routinely monitor incoming and outgoing transactions, and if they suspect the funds are stolen, they are freezed. I would imagine North Korea doesn't have really an easy job laundering that BTC they

I don't get it, if you don't like it, don't use it, but why feel sad about it? Someone is developing something new and giving it out for free.

So... I started scimming through the artcle, and they basically convert the money to cryptocurrency? Don't know if the article really contained anything other interesting details.

The fact is, that for VC's it makes perfect sense to push for growth as much as possible. For every one of their portfolio startups. That doesn't necessarily make sense for the founders, who likely might prefer lower risk and prof

It is great for founders, and not so nice for VC investors, and Karri seems comically oblivious to that fact.

It was mentioned later in the text. Sponsorship deals. Overall it was about break-evwn, for whatever reason she didn't include sponsors in the financials.

Yes. I was developing some open source stuff before venturing to for-profit closed Source Software, and I was surprised that the paying customers were on average much nicer than those who got their stuff for free! Great idea about the prior

LOL no. it is super fluffy. Lots of good stuff in there, but just overly verbose.

Are you asking why startups need investors? Seriously? Yeah, if a company is profitable from day one, there is no reason to take investors money. However that happens rarely. And while some people are happy to work without salary in the beg

That case sounds more like you being 0.1x developer about obsessing over test automation, where the 1x guy just didn't seem them to be worthwile. Personally I have had clashes during my career with people who obsess about unit testing

If a system is impossible to maintain, that system is nothing of value, and therefore doesn't fit to any sensible definition of 10x. I have always assumed that the 10x means value creation, not some kind of "lines of code" ou

US is crazy rich and powerful Country that has plenty of tools to pressure companies to do what they want. Indonesia is a poor ass country that has to resort to cheap tricks like this one.

I do not find git weird and bizarre at all. First time I hear such nonsense. Why do you feel that way?

Banks have like 10% or even less the dollars that they are supposed to be holding, but still are doing all fine. Personally I don't think these tether conspiracy theories were ever true. Maybe they aren't 1:1 backed, but they have

As the article states, nothing has been proven. Didn't read further than that. Tether is an operation that is a money printing machine on its own. They absolutely don't need to play pump'n'dump tricks to make money. It d

Remote working is like veganism or crossfit, people have to come to announce them doing it at every possible possibility.

I believe that I've saved millions thanks to the fact that I stumbled on Hetzner back in the days and started using it for the company I was working on. Not saying it is a perfect service, but I very much like my money, and seeing on w

Likely just a bad business decision. People do these all the time. What is obvious to me and you is not obvious to everyone.

I agree, that taking psychedelics is likely not a good idea. But the analogue gives in my opinion totally wrong picture of the actual risks. Psychedelics, at least psilocybin, are quite harmless compared to almost any other substances. The

> Everyone else - I hope I never see them again in my life. Wow, quite a strong statement. Personally I'm not much friends with ppl from work, my feelings are neutral. If I see some ex-colleague from work, I'll say hello and ma

Different people value different things, believe me or not, there are people who don't care about WFH. When applying for jobs, you should negotiate for the things that you value. It doesn't make sense to require all employers to o

The whole point of work is that someone pays you money, so you donate your time. How exactly and what amount of time, that is the contract you negotiate with your employer. Office time is just one negotiation point. Personally I would never
