Crypto to me reads increasingly like classical finance as time goes by. The parallel here is that banks lobby against new regulation, then once the regulation exists as a moat, they lobby to keep the regulation. I'm sure the 100M fine

I don't think about my personal footprint much because I don't view that as a realistic assault on climate change. Perhaps it's too optimistic but my focus is more on options like solar and fission in the medium term, fusion

VR is a medium that lends itself well to this. For example a VR memory palace[0]. We're in the early days of haptics but gloves like the ones in this video[1] will allow for more dimensions of touch based tools. [0] https://

I agree. Very exciting time and feels much more accessible now than when I tried it a few years back. I'd also reccomend trying unreal engine 5 which is royalty free up to $1M in revenue or something. You can also create in blender and

Recruiters are sales people paid on commission. A good chunk of their day represents them trying to get people on the phone and close them. Sales is much easier over the phone than via LinkedIn.

Sure, DAOs (Decentralized autonomous organizations[0]) have been around for a few years but lately people have been using them to fund raise and try to buy stuff. Famously, "ConstitutionDAO" raised over $40M in an attempt (emphasi

Turning this into a DAO might be an interesting direction. Cool project - good luck!

No. People do not understand. I try to explain it all the time and can never seem to get it across. I used to work at a company that had a hiring pipeline that took people with zero skills and trained them up to high paid tech workers in a

I've proposed this idea before and still see the merit in it. Online platforms can still be funded by advertising. Taking away the targeting just reduces the incentive to spy on users.

I think this is actually a natural market cycle you see across all industries. New entrant offers incredible product or service, customers rejoice. Competing products, pale. De facto monopoly is established. Time passed, maybe a new board a

An emerging solution I've been investigating is using Nix as a build system for docker. The syntax is fairly lightweight and you can build containers that are scratch + coreutils, or whatever else you decide to put in there. I was orig

It is difficult to get hired and people often find the interview process demoralizing. It's also hard (possible, just hard work) to get promoted and usually not up to your boss. This isn't a downside exactly but it's differen

This is heavily weighted towards computing / programing. Roughly: 1: Find out what fixed looks like. When did it stop working? Has it ever worked? 2: Form theories about why it may not be working (googling is part of forming theories)

I think python is the best way in. I was a few years older than that but not much when I started learning it. It doesn't have very much syntax but you can still do stuff with it. A good place to start might be to find a library for som

Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS make me feel like I can deploy just about anything in a way that will scale for a very long time. Usually I put python and flask on top of that. Though I always feel like I should be switching to Django or possib
