Before Facebook was the F in FAANG it was a private company (as were the others obviously). The IPO was only in 2012 - a large number of people became millionaires. The same was true for Snapchat, Asana, Roblox, etc. The same will be true f

Agreed - Silicon Valley exists in part because of 500k-5M$ payouts to employees happening all of the time from private options. Not trying to value that is a mistake.

It's funny the disproportionate effect one good teacher can have on someone's life (and also the negative effect of a bad one). It's worth reaching out to them and sending emails to the good ones - I've found they apprec

The use case is a virtual meta-layer for the real world where you can interact with stuff without needing to look at a small glass handheld display. Things like, pulling up addresses of buildings you look at, names of people you've met

Vitalik’s blog posts are probably best. [0] There are also some decent selections here: https://danromero.org/crypto-reading/ [0]: https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/09/26/limits.html

I normally don't like to pile on with negativity, but I'd argue the video does do it justice. I played with one myself (the only one I ever saw in the wild and she only had one because her SO was one of the original investors) and

Takes an entire day to migrate accounts from online services and apps. The flow for this is very bad, on some sites you have to email support and on others it’s impossible. Even after doing this a year later I still get email to my old acco

I've found it helps by forcing focus on a narrow task. In these tests they used tetris, but rockband or guitar hero is similar too. There's some evidence to support anxiety being tied to rumination, thought loops, hypervigilance a

You can find a house for 1.7M in San Mateo if you’re lucky but it will still be small and old. What you get for that in Austin is in a different league.

It's not even close - a crappy house on the peninsula is 1.7M, with the median closer to 2.5-3M. I mean, look at this: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Palo-Alto/3785-Park-Blvd-94306/hom... I think Austin is be

Yeah - I think we're in agreement.

Yeah - I used xmonad on arch for a bit in college for the novelty and agree. Magnet on macOS is good enough. The other thing about tiling window managers is often the graphics of the window are really ugly with bad fonts - not specifically

I think that makes total sense for a poster. It's when talking to people that I've noticed a difference. Some people have the jargon, but I can ask questions and learn from them because they can explain the underlying ideas. Some

I share a similar skepticism of people the obfuscate the information with jargon. Any technical field will have its jargon, but the general concept can also (almost always) be explained in a more accessible way (like the hn comment and the

You can email dang and they'll work with you depending on what privacy stuff you need, but yeah it's a manual process. People have changed the users on old comments they no longer want associated with themselves and such. There wa

An interesting thought experiment is if you could recognize and interrupt other thought patterns to change behavior and preferences because you want to, but have a hard time implementing the change. Obvious example is addiction - there&#x27
