The very fact that someone owns bitcoin means they have been scammed by the promise of doubling their money.

The whole reason we’re in this mess is every company is trying to play moneyball. They’re all convinced that by creating a unique interview process they’ll find better talent than other companies and this make more money. The end result is

But they already are testing their blood for effectiveness. I have to say, if a placebo can cause your blood cells to fight off a disease better even when removed from your body, that would be something.

Lack of economic opportunity is largely a man made problem due to poor social institutions. Unfortunately a reduced population size won’t fix that.

This is the same info as I was aware of. The problem was crashing servers. But my complaint is that this article instead spends a lot of time complaining about the input forms

I don’t really understand this article. When the New Jersey government came out asking for Cobol programmers, all I remember was them talking about the strain on their system due to a demand spike. But this article spends its whole time tal

I think it’s because there’s no good alternative. All the copy cat sites aren’t interested in a good user experience, they just want a place with less content restrictions.

On that note, this will be tough for people with relatives in China, since they might lose their only way to chat for free. You also lose a channel for pushing your own propaganda to other countries. Here’s an idea: what if you forced any a

It seems like there should be some way to cut out the middle man and build an entire currency based on solving captchas.

I agree that it is a very interesting topic. Even the chapter breaks can be a real issue for a theologian. I believe there are some stories in the gospels which are consecutive in multiple books, but split by a chapter break in others. Ther

No, and this is a great reminder that any home cook who claims they cook by weight for precision and repeatability is full of it. It turns out that not all eggs are the same, not all flour had the same moisture, not all butter has the same

It almost seems like every one of the personalities mentioned in the article are disrespected by their peers! As an outsider I found it very fun, but I suspect that someone with inside experience like yourself would find it quite tedious.

This is why I find all this talk about free speech completely disingenuous. From the start, these websites had rules to moderate content. They’ve just been afraid to enforce them against the president.

Agreed. People need to stop thinking about this as a change in ISA. The important part comes when Apple starts loading their silicon with custom, specialized components aimed at improving OSX.

Well that and the fact that tech website users basically complain about every UI change. Hacker News is full of people who think XFCE is the height of desktop experience. This is fundamentally different than apple’s core fan base who seem t

HPCG is another benchmark on the Top500 site, and it’s more of a real world benchmark. It’s of course not perfect, but maybe that’s more what you’re looking for.

AWS has made it into the top500 a few times in fact, though not that high on the list. I think the main issue would be reserving enough machines that have a high performance network between them, which is not a typical cloud need. But the m

It’s sort of funny to watch the ISC event and see news of a machine with an exaop of AI performance, while the zoom presentation still can’t properly crop out the background.

Yeah I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first time I bought a game on the Nintendo switch online store, thinking how convenient this will be, only to realize I had to now go but a physical SD card because I didn’t have space.

Another issue for me: if I’m commiting often, the interviewer gets a sense of how long it took me to do each task. This turns it into a timed test I’m supposed to do with all the distractions of home in my free time... Of course, one can al
