It's a question of where your core axioms come from. The core axiom from which a person builds a belief system can be that contradictions are wrong or that authority (the bible/priest/parent) is right. This is why conservat

Sounds like a lot of fun (actually)! What OS? I assume Windows? What kind of artifacts have you already discovered? DNS is a surprisingly fruitful thing to pay attention to. Some viruses will delete themselves if they detect things like Wir

If we search foreigners phones, that means we are OK with our own phones getting searched too. If our foreign policy is creating a "rules based international order" which Blinken certainly seems to say a lot, then rules for thee b

Small c compromise, not big C. These are invented toy examples, but when I say compromise I mean things like chat logs, public transportation/taxi ride history, supply chain attacks, etc. If you want to think about the attack surface,

It's a literal national security issue. I know people who have two factor codes and password vaults on their phone's that if compromised by a competent attacker could compromise nearly every major corporation in America. Imagine i

If you are any kind of nerd I recommend watching it. It shows an optimistic view of the future. In many ways it's the anti-cyberpunk. Steve Jobs famously said "give me star trek" when telling his engineers what he wanted from

I think you are caught up on the word communism. Communism as it exists today results in authoritarianism/fascism, I think we can agree on that. The desired end state of communism (high resource distribution) is being commingled with t

Web development is like giving a box of 50 different lego kits jumbled together to your kids, while a lot of other development is like buying a new lego kit from the store and giving it to your kids. For a lot of tech there are fairly set

Seth McFarland wrote a pretty great piece on Star Trek replicators and their relationship to the structure of society. The question it answers is "does the replicator allow for Star Trek's utopia, or does Star Trek's utopia a

When I took a software engineering course, they talked about the benefits of "decoupled code," "dependency injection," and "abstractions," but when it came to an actual tactical explanation of these things, or

I have such mixed feelings. On one hand, it clearly creates a power problem where too few have too much power. On the other hand, you don't run a company without a dashboard of statistics and information to inform the decisions you mak

One additional thing to consider is that you win by having a better life. You can win at chess, with a great investment of time, but what is the opportunity cost of that investment of being good at chess? If you are a god of chess, but the

"The new Toughness Training in sports" is a somewhat dated book that talks about exactly your mindset and the problem with it and what a better mindset is, particularly if you want to win. You're probably also in an environme

You're asking how do you manage your dopamine. Andrew Huberman is probably the authoritative person presenting on the subject to the public unless you go to books. Maybe these would be good to page through: https://hubermanl

Part of being in Apple's ecosystem is being subject to their deprecation schedule. Apple is a luxury product, they market themselves as a luxury product, and not supporting old devices allows them to focus on what makes them a luxury p

I struggled with this question minus the true financial freedom. You can get on the Hedonic treadmill, but you will adapt. You can try to consume the world and become metaphorically obese and empty. Buddhism and Siddhartha in particular i

The new toughness training in sports is a good book. The book is a little dated, but still quality. Toughness is defined as the ability to resist stress (such as the stress caused by physical exertion). The core premise of the book is tha

I listed the sequence of ideas I think leads to that conclusion, and the best you could muster is an unsubstantiated "you're wrong"? Imagine if every hacker news response was just a verbose "you're wrong." What

Then we have come to terms, you understand the awful truth, but are in denial about the reality of it because it is so awful. That awful truth is that we are directly responsible for democracy, and that if everyone shirks that responsibilit

I'll respond to the substance but you avoided the key question that I think hamstrings your response. Fundamentally you think the problem with America is framed around money and monetary policy. I think the problem with America is fram

I sat down with a Chinese person who was willing to have a political conversation with me. They talked about the idea of "planned corruption" in China. What became pretty clear is that corruption does not grow linearly it grows ex

If you start with the 5 why's, then it's clear that this could never ever happen until our corruption problem is addressed. We can't have this because people won't unionize and exercise collective bargaining outside t

Titles are position within the dominance hierarchy, so they are very important. They determine who the default winners are in the game of politics. When self interested people are in high authority positions, it hurts the company. When comp

It's also important to consider that in a future interview, they are going to ask "tell me about your time as CTO at ExectuiveSuitDramaCorp?" So it's not just going to be just a title. Responsibilities will shift towards

I would also take a look at nonviolent communication (because what you say right now would definitely manifest as violent communication). If you express what you express right now, you will make CUXO and CEO defensive and if they are defens

If the CUXO is not a narcissist and does take the companies interest into account, this is probably the most cogent idea in the thread. CUXO is obviously a ridiculous title as are both CDO titles.

Read the book "extreme ownership". Meditate on it for a couple days. Try to convince your CEO to read it too. It will pay dividends. Read "the thin book of trust" as well since you don't trust them. From an outside

We made abstractions successfully, world changing abstractions. Do the NAND to Tetris course and see that tech is abstractions on top of abstractions. Electronics today is frequently represented by code. Check out Verilog or VHDL. https:&#
