So, to be clear: "end of barter system" -> "steady paychecks" -> "death of innovation in the West" -> "bitter people seek to create division" That is an absolutely wild series of logical le

I try to keep my work identity a little distant from my online presence, but feel free to hit me at the email on my HN profile if you're really curious. You could probably track it down if you really cared to. It's an excellent

I would just like to put in my $0.02 on this one. I worked for St. Jude in the past, and it is one of the most delightful workplaces I have had the opportunity to be a part of. It is a shockingly positive environment given the nature of the

Yeah, but imagine if you had that fear – or really, just the annoying worry – going into every potential cofounder. It would be exhausting, and I imagine that's why fewer women opt for the process at all.

Reading posts like this one, I am very glad that I work at a place where we have 1) an engineer on-call rotation for every discipline - no database engineer has to troubleshoot a broken CSS rule 2) on-call engineers get paid a big chunk o

You’ve never had a teammate who was just ALWAYS online on Slack? Or found yourself working on a weekend because you thought of a bug fix? I agree that there’s a lot of blame-shifting that happens at work. But lots of people struggle to disc

Yeah, I'm with you. I just feel like a lot of my "research" so far – crypto-wise – has mostly just been people talking about it, instead of me making an actual effort to understand any of it myself. So now I gotta go do that.

I'm taking a little of my holiday break to try and apply this to cryptocurrencies and blockchain stuff. Horrible, terrible, tragic, I know. But if I feel like I'm going to be ridiculing this stuff on a fairly regular basis, then

Build time for fabs is quite long, and build time for a mature semiconductor industry (in India, for example) will be longer. That said: I have stopped trying to think any COVID timeline is too long. Shit's wack. Shit will continue to

"Immutable and existing in perpetuity" are good qualities for an archive service, and that's at least the idea with a blockchain.

At first glance, the "hack" looked to be a pretty basic phishing setup, but it seems like some kind of Discord functionality may have been compromised? That would be a pretty big deal.

From an economic standpoint, they are more important . People with massive, life-ruining debt are more important for us to help than people who graduated debt-free or who got jobs/careers that let them pay off their debt. If you can d

Anecdote time! I have a family member who runs a non-profit organization. They had contracted a social media agency, and one of the things that agency did was make a Facebook page for them. After the page had gotten some traction, and the c

Having part of your identity/physical existence fetishized is suuuuper different from just being wanted.

The front page of that sub currently has a meme about women feeling a need to pay for the first date so that men don't feel they are owed sex. As a hetero dude who was recently doing a decent amount of casual dating, I can tell you tha

Engineers tend to have this conception of all salespeople (and, to the point of the GP, marketers) as con-artists: "how can I convince this rube to buy my crap?" When in reality, as you discovered, the best salespeople are the one
