Hello, fellow sentient beings!

Well, I thought so too. Until I realized six months later that I hadn't gotten my refund. Turns out that I'd gotten an email shortly after submission that had gone unnoticed saying that my return had failed xml validation, just li

I strongly disagree with this. The tax code is relatively straightforward for a programmer. It’s a bunch of conditional statements and simple math. Even the cases you mention are straightforward compared to the usual ambiguity that comes wi

I can't see the paper [1]. But the code is here: https://github.com/kazumi-ozaki/lifespan/blob/master/main.f9... It does not give me great confidence in the modeling. Perhaps the paper goes into gre

The biggest problem with the way we list the last price of assets is that the price listed is only the price of one unit. In reality, if all bitcoins were sold, the money recouped would be considerably less than last price * num coins. Perh

They are not healthier in terms of fat/protein/nutrients. They do lack some of the cancerous elements of meat production (nitrates). But the big win is that they are made from plants and cost far less to produce while removing the

Seems kinda weird. I wonder if Frogwares could sue in a US court? Both companies probably do the bulk of their business in the US and are selling through US-based stores.

I'd say that the left doing its best imitation of the worst things the right does is a bad thing. "But the right has always done this" should be all the evidence you need that what you're doing is wrong.

I think the key is looking at the opportunities that you have, whatever they may be, and putting in the work to take advantage of them. I have hundreds of friends who are relatively poor and who have many opportunities they don’t take. For

I have a similar story and luck played no part of it. I spent lots of time in public libraries and on public computers as a kid. As a result, I got an academic scholarship. A few years after graduating amidst the 2008 economic crisis, I hea

It would not have been very difficult to pivot AIM into making money. First you add social media style profiles, then ads, then integrations, then feeds... none of this would have relied on mobile. Facebook didn't rely on mobile for ma

I suspect he is not actually that smart - his interview with 60 minutes, for example, made him seem childish and foolish. These incidents just haven't been widely publicized. But the way Musk's name gets casually mentioned in tv s

When I downloaded the file, it also had the date in the name. You have to accommodate that change in the instructions. Also be sure to run bash -c './redbean.com -vv' (also with the name as downloaded).

Yeah, but that also serves the purpose of making us encourage our workplaces to use GitHub, and they pay for it.

Congrats dude! I'm impressed by this project and that you got people to pay for it. Any why shouldn't they? It takes time and skills to do design work like this.

Who's on the low end? Even junior positions are paying close to 100k in some areas, with juniors in the bay making more than that. There are some true-entry level positions and areas (midwest, less urban) that pay less. Academia as wel

The interview process in tech is often long and laborious, and there’s no guarantee the next place will be better.

Right, that’s my point: the recipient of those Bitcoin is receiving stolen property / dirty money. I’d expect that the US government could easily seize the property (as they already do for cash) and potentially imprison the recipients.

Isn’t the whole issue here that you can’t obfuscate the origin of the Bitcoin? The transactions by Hyundai to buy the Bitcoin would be known; the transfer of those bitcoins thereafter ad infinitum are all documented in the ledger. There is

I will say that the sum of my misdeeds throughout my life doesn't compare to depriving a single person of a single day of their freedom. It's something I think about when I think of politicians who passed unjust laws, or prosecuto

Important question: If you receive Bitcoin which was originally received as a ransom, could you be held legally liable even if you weren't the thief? I suspect that such ransomed crypto would be forever tainted, as would anything ledge

I’m very vocal at work about all sorts of things. But to openly condemn your employer repeatedly on social media, steal data, then complain about the repercussions? How absurd. And this person is in charge of ethics for your company? I coul

Wasn’t the gig economy part of regular cab driving? Sure they had medallion requirements, but cab drivers in US cities always worked whenever they wanted (usually when it was busy).
