Youre probably not far off. I’ve been hearing TA works better on cryptocurrency markets than regular stock markets, probably because like you say it’s mostly relatively unsophisticated investors.

Because the person you are replying to is projecting. The gp never mentioned communism or really any of the things accused of them in the reply. I suspect when you have a system with little government oversight and people unafraid to use

Eh, to most people right now bitcoin is an investment they could maybe get rich off of. I don't think most recent investors are thinking about any sort of social ramifications beyond "what if I get rich?" But yes I agree with

I see some of the siblings have named different solutions, Datomic also exists as a database with immutable facts and time-travel.

Ehh...I was replying to a post that didn't consider the fact that he might actually be wrong, come to terms with his wrongness, and admit it and move on. Whether or not he's wrong is perhaps an unanswered question -- I don't

That's not an apology, that's being a passive-aggressive nerd.

Has what worked in the past? Admitting you were wrong and apologizing? Sure it's a good way of resolving conflicts if you were actually wrong. People grow and change throughout life, I don't think that being a knucklehead in the

I notice none of those options include "admit he was wrong and apologize". I'm sure he doesn't have to work for a top-tier tech company either.

Isn't Ripple supposed to be for moving money around instead of wire transfers? How is this volatility remotely good for that use-case?

Their about page is kinda weird. Unless there are a bunch of people not listed, it seems like there are only 3 people in the company who aren't a manager of some kind. For example there are 2 software engineers, a software engineerin

I didnt mean to imply they didnt put work in! Sorry if I did.

I just took a quick look at it and I don't think so. I think it's basically just a script that provisions a new digitalocean instance via the DO api, installs dependencies, and builds/installs/runs the program.

No I didn't say that he's a race realism pusher, what I'm saying is that it reads like the kind of shit you'd see someone who is write. I'm not sure if you're new to the internet or not but there is a major cu

Honestly I _hate_ Google Maps, but it seems like the best thing available. I wish they'd spend less time on building outlines and more time on making the UI not totally suck. Someone should make a maps startup that isn't awful (n

I’m not sure what the implication is here. That the author’s words aren’t important or true because she has a book coming out?

by jgh 9y ago
Hrm. I'm not really sure exactly what he's referring to there but it does kind of come off as something someone would say if their ideas on race realism were being shot down by people. Not that Tim Ferris is such a person (I h

Eh, I made a G++7 container for using with CircleCI. Makes life a lot easier (and is faster) than screwing around with running scripts before each build

Scandals? Scandals are hardly mentioned in the article. This is about public perception of the tech - specifically startup - industry.

Very cool. As someone who wants to begin learning how to use ML and who enjoys clojure as a hobby language...this is great. Gives me an excuse to use Clojure more :) I hope you decide to continue working on it!

I feel like this is a blog post from 2003 or something, and the audience is PHP developers who are writing inline SQL statements.

i guess this doesn't work for private registration. E.g. Domains by Proxy's phone number has ~11 million domains.

I guess I hit a nerve. FWIW I've been using Slack since 2014, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with it or have been shunning new technologies. I do like it for communities. I just don't like it for work.

Slack for work mostly sucks. It's OK for communities where urgency is obviously not there -- basically as an alternative IRC. I have worked at a couple companies that used IRC. They beauty of IRC is no offline notifications (unless
