Compensation simply and purely. I'm taking a risk coming to join your start-up that has a high likelihood of failure. Pay me as such. You as the founder likely aren't taking as much of a risk as me an employee would be, especially

So why isn't the question phrased "What are your expectations of how we work here?" or something along those lines? If the goal of the question is to address the motivations of the person applying for the job to determine if

Hmm, I wonder if a centrally trusted third party could have prevented something like this? Maybe, just maybe, anonymous currency systems (i.e. cash and all equivalents), just aren't inherently secure so there's no real point in re

Probably not. Currency isn't a search engine. It's a fundamental piece of an efficient economy. There's a reason we went to fiat currencies. I like a lot of things about bitcoin actually. I want to see an energy based currenc

Management is an engineering problem whether we want to admit it or not. It's about maximizing the potential of the people who are working for you. Designing a team is just as much of an engineering problem as building a large scale we

They don't work because it seems most places treat software development as a function separate from whatever the company does (with the exception of software companies which rarely follow one "methodology" but just do what wo

It is only human to be over confident in our own stupidity. Rarely do we know it's even stupidity.

Something this volatile is considered a good value store? The reason gold is a good value store is not only because of it's general acceptance and obvious physical properties but also because it's a non-volatile element physically

Read the whole sentence I wrote. "Yet another shorting coming of trying to replicate cash." The problem isn't the blockchain. The block chain is all good and well. The problem is the anonymity associated with the transactions
341.
by rafiki6 9y ago
That's my point, why are we attempting to replicate a broken system but digitally?
342.

As I mentioned, a short coming of trying to REPLICATE cash.

See the problem is, how can you trust the claim of coins being stolen to begin with? A common scenario would be I buy something with the coins and then I decide to claim they were stolen thus making the coins useless.
344.
by rafiki6 9y ago
That's exactly my point. That's the main issue here. This is a short coming of cash, so why are we trying to replicate it? A truly decentralized system can exist that ties value to an individual instead preventing these things.

How is it that this can't be prevented by the Bitcoin network? The network should be able to mark coins stolen and unusable...oh wait it can't. Because in order to do that you'd need a trusted third party to verify the coins

Main issue is enforcement. Engineering is a good example. Engineers become licensed have guilds etc. Thing is they tend to work on things that are in the physical world and if they break they will cause death and destruction. So the governm

There seems to be lots of confusion about what constitutes UBI here. This isn't talking about America or developed nations. And government led UBI experiments in developed nations were always doing UBI in place of other social welfare

I don't mean to be offensive but reading your statement alone shows me your bias. 1) You constantly referred to the developer as he. You may not realize it but the language you use is an indication of the prototypical picture of a deve

What has this proven exactly? Has an study been done to show a strong correlation between these test scores and ACTUAL programmer productivity? What two metrics are you correlating here? All I see is a score. Is this score valuable? I see n

So why ask people to write "code". What are you testing?
352.
by rafiki6 9y ago
Totally agree. Classic fallacy of test confidence. The question is, why are we confident in the test to begin with...

Not a very scientific theory, and not much collected evidence but based on my observations Bitcoin get's much more press, more people know about it and want to buy it. It's all very speculative. To say 1 bitcoin is worth 7000 USD

As with all things in life, what you reward is generally what will be optimized for. So make sure your corporate culture doesn't reward dumb metrics.

Not sure what else there can be if you create a normalized test that has been designed to predict success by being applied to your current employee population. Take away personal interviewing and voila. I can't judge this person on my

by rafiki6 9y ago
Disagree, we can basically eliminate the personal part of it. Blind interviewing. I don't need to know name/gender/school etc. Technical skills test as a filter given to current employees to track if it actually tests for nec

Yes, but what about the commonly trotted out line of "hiring mistakes are expensive so we'd prefer to not hire than make a mistake". Perfect example of having cake and eating it...You have to eat the cost somewhere. Either it

I quite disagree. This to me is a rather capable individual I'd hire simply because they are a good adaptive problem solver. Problem: Stupid interviews. Solution: game the system to get what that person wants, a job.
