Cryptobros are just like early christians in the Roman Empire, yep. In fact, SBF was just like Christ himself.

Fortunately for me this isn’t something I have to reconcile. We’re a Java shop.

Cool anecdote, but ultimately unrealistic. If I make a job posting on LinkedIn for a front end developer for example, I will get up to 500 (USA) applicants. Filters (such as absolutely no cryptobros) are a tool for finding the best applican

Sounds like you put crypto on your resume, so don’t worry about getting accidentally hired :)

I can only speak for my own company. I recently (6 months ago) hired a junior web developer. He’s now a senior, and the highest paid engineer in the company. If you’re a junior developer, and you want to make good money at it, you no longer

Discrimination based on life choices is called consequences. The Unabomber, while a genius mathematician, will never be offered a position in my company.

Well, that was pre war. I was pretty nouveau riche. Then I almost got blown up in combat, and my tastes changed.

That’s an interesting point. But I still wouldn’t include crypto on my resume - instead, leave a gap in the resume, and if the hiring manager asks, explain. It reminds me of how I see a lot of applicants to LinkedIn job posts with people wh

A lot is being demonstrated with it being on your resume: 1) enjoying the technical challenges of crypto is to me like a guilty pleasure. So do I, but I don’t tell the world about it (outside of this HN comment). 2) such a high % of the peo

Multi cam works surprisingly well in green forests. It’s weird that there’s only one LEO in multicam and the rest are in black uniforms.

I entered EN to RU simply “distributed systems engineer” and the results were totally off. It returned something about distributed energy management.

I don’t understand how anyone can call “various religious constructs” absurd. It’s a very “Reddit moment” thing to do. Religion has existed since the dawn of man. The internal feeling that there is something more out there - something that

I read the article. The headline is awful. For example: > The most commonly-used bot type both by pro-Ukraine and pro-Russia sides is the “self-declared bots — accounts that are transparent about being bots Quite honestly, I refuse to de

And 20k GBP will buy a lot more in your EU country than in the UK. You know that your startup doesn’t need to target the US/UK/English speaking world right? You can launch a service or product in your EU country and, similar to th

I’m an immigrant in Ukraine. I love this country very much. Speak the language, understand the culture, etc. After checking out your page, I’m absolutely appalled. I’ve forwarded this to a personal friend who works in the immigration depart

For all of my travel in mainland US, I fly private. $2k Miami to NY for example is very reasonable. But I don’t know of any service which offers shared private across the Atlantic, I just can’t justify spending 50k on a flight. Is the only

Oh I love food - quality food. I don’t eat trash like McDonald’s (at least not very often..). But I have to consume like 5k calories every day for sports, and that gets tiring.

I don’t eat veggies, and I’m definitely not eating the gross parts of my meat like liver, so I have to take a big bowl of supplements. It works out for me.

I really don’t understand libertarians. You hate the idea of a government having any power that could theoretically/historically be used to oppress you, but when corporations do it, it should be celebrated. Thank God it was IRS LLC tha

You’re incredibly wrong. Rich people just make friends with other rich people. Speaking from experience, I don’t care if girls want me for my $. But I’m not looking for a wife right now. If I was, I would probably date women that I meet at

After tax I make a few hundred k/month. I spend almost all of it. I’m always motivated to keep growing my business, because if I don’t, I’ll go broke. I love this lifestyle.

I have a few dozen pieces from LV, and they’ve already increased in value since his passing. But I wouldn’t sell any of them for any reasonable price. He was truly a uniquely talented artist & designer. A real loss for the world.
