Kind of a red herring IMO. Anecdotes only get you so far—when we look at the vast majority of millenials, most of their prospects are not so great. And this is especially true in comparison to the prospects of earlier generations.

This is so cool. Major props to such a great implementation and unique idea!

How can I mention this HN post? When I click 'apply' it auto-submits my application. Please feel free to follow up nikkwong0 at gmail

It would have nice if that would have been communicated earlier, but thank you for clarifying. Also, I am primarily a developer, not a designer.

Had an interview with these guys one morning and they said they "couldn't wait to hop on a call with me" later in the day and I never heard from them again. Not sure if applying here is worth the time.

Why couldn't you imagine the developers here just implement a flagging/reporting system to just clean up the potential bad content?

Curious—what makes you prefer angular?

I'm sorry, but what's so good about raiblocks...? Aren't they just PoS based?

Nitpick—based on your statements, I'm curious as to how you can claim manipulating the DOM be faster/more efficient than using a virtual DOM? I was under the impression that the very opposite was true, which is what gave birth to

Could you touch on what you find are the short comings of solidity?

By wanting to learn Angular you're definitely riding against the ecosystem, as shown in the post, see: http://stateofjs.com/2017/front-end/results and note that most do not want to use it/or have used it

Yeah, I've never really understood the note taking thing. I'll be working on simple algorithm problems that require me to hold 3-4 elements in my mind and constantly have to mentally reference them over and over. "what was th

I'm surprised to not hear an engineer's memory as an important correlator to skill. I find that working memory especially (or the lack thereof) really can hinder my performance when dealing with a complex problem. Sometimes I thin

Full nodes must store the hashes that are generated from previous blocks. If they didn't, how would you know that the most recent hash really is the generated as a result of hashing the previous block recursively? A malicious attacker

Can someone walk me through how this happens from a technical perspective? Nicehash must keep their PK at some "super secret place" so they can sign transactions out to their miners. In an ideal situation that PK is unreachable ev

That, followed by the fact that many of their users probably sit on the site a good part of the day constantly refreshing the page/taking up websocket bandwidth to watch price changes. Yeah, load is a serious issue.

I get that that's a problem, but when trying to get a MVP out fast and validate an idea I think privacy policies & TOS' seem like a formality that will be figured out later if the business does actually happen to become profit

I don't understand why tech people have this disposition that entrepreneurship > everything else. That may have worked for some, but people find fulfillment in their lives in so many other ways. Arts, love, other careers, etc... I&#

The "f * the system" mentality of crypto enthusiasts is —albeit somewhat warranted—often over the top and slightly annoying. Madoff was arrested and is serving life in prison. What more do you want?

My guess would be nuts, vegetables, and meats (like fish). Some fruits are okay though, like low sugar ones (avocados). I personally have tested my diet for years and found this diet to be optimal for me, and in line with most current resea

I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea this week after it wreaked havoc on my personal and professional life for the last 6. I couldn't work, couldn't engage in anything. Now I'm pretty much terrified to go to sleep every nigh

Nope.. They've been in JS since the early versions of emcascript. JS is often used for more web-appy stuff than actual math so I wouldn't say they're used very abundantly, which may explain the comment.

So.. I'm assuming Apple is not full on ignoring the `Set-Cookie` http response header, or persistent sessions as we know it are gone. ..Right?

Thanks so much! We currently use Atlas and it's been pretty great, although prohibitively expensive for my small side projects, where mLab instead has been awesome.

Yeah, I feel like through using Mongo I've learned how to model my data in ways that are not relational, which has worked well because using aggregation at all always tends to be really awkward. Agreed that it could go no where, but, I
