No, Gold value comes from the fact that we all agreed that it should have a value, and it's scarce. Same for Bitcoin. And yes you can parade the fact that you own a bitcoin address, this is after all probably the only reason most peopl

Yes you can frame and admire a digital token, or rather the address holding the funds. Gold's value has nothing to do with its utility. I don't get your people's arguments. You keep repeating "a digital asset can't

I remember seeing Revolut doing that, worse the price of buying Bitcoin was actually much higher than what you could get on other trading exchanges. What a fucking scam. At the time I didn't understand that people were buying Bitcoin o

What? There's more chance that Facebook will be much more part of your life in 25 years than Cloudflare. Internet technology comes and go, social networks are here to stay. More than that, VR is going to boom in the next 10 years.

I like the "Strategy 4 Neutralize The Bozos". People have used tactics against me like that. For example, if they don't like what you're proposing, they will gain time by asking you to perform metrics, or write up a bett

Actually now what I'm thinking is: if I have the savings, the safety net, etc. next time I want to quit and look for something else, I'll just quit, and then spend enjoy as much free time as I want (in month unit), and then only l

This is really resonating with me, after two years in a job that had me think "I want to quit" by the weekly, it becomes the new normal and I can't imagine that a job can be stress-free, enjoyable, and provide good work-life

It's a good theory but I don't agree with it, sure it may cause harm in the short term but in the long term not tipping will benefit people

> you're just screwing over some random person Their employers is screwing them over, not me. I am not. You want to force me to tip you? Make it mandatory then.

I've said it before, the only way to get out of the tipping culture is to stop tipping, and to continue to fight for a raised minimum wage. There's just no way around it, that's how some other countries got out of the tipping

I know, that's why there needs to be a new format that current developers can just use. And let client supports both formats. Maybe, that's what I should do. It's a developer/server issue I'm talking about, not a cl

The bigger problem for RSS, in my opinion, is the weird XML format. I remember setting it up for my websites and it was a huge pain, had to find a library to do it, there weren't many, ended up using something of poor quality but that

I never subscribe to feeds like that, unless I guess I really care about the source, but it hasn't happened so far.

"this is day 1". I'm wondering for what else it is day 1, right now. I know cryptocurrencies have been booming, it's not clear exactly if they will continue to boom but the space is already so big that one has to really

You're looking at it wrong. This is free expression, they are providing a platform as free as you going in the street and expressing yourself. If the government wants to censor this type of expression, it must pass laws, and it must di

Should we ban every tool that allows you to broadcast? TV, Radio, Tiktok, twitter, youtube, etc? To be fair I think it used to be much much worse when there were only a few broadcast venue, people used to go CRAZY about celebrities, and som

That's why I get upset when I look at complex code that doesn't clearly specify a whitelist of state transitions. It's easy god damn it: figure out your protocol state transitions, and write them down in your code somewhere.
