The Apollo app is leagues ahead of even their mobile app, not sure why they don’t just hire that person (probably because the person gives a shit about the user experience, and the suits at Reddit are more interested in ruthlessly monetizin

The banks were going to become insolvent in both scenarios. Coinbase is proposing you lend them Bitcoin, not other individuals. If they don’t put up the collateral and leverage hard and manage to fail for whatever reason, they pretty much s

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe banks are allowed to lever at the multiples necessary to offer a 4% interest rate (the collateral requirements are prohibitively too high). Coinbase is not a bank and doesn’t have to play

It’s a good way to shut down your competitors and get certain legislation in place where only your mega corp can meet the standards. They bought a lot of Bitcoin recently, which could be decent enough collateral to offer a SEC-sanctified le

That’s okay, we already had that experiment in 1929 and 2008. Consenting legal adults can crash the economy for everyone. Hell, just from 2008 Dodd-frank, banks are not allowed to invest without having very specific amounts of collateral (e

I’ll take the downvotes. It can fulfill certain compulsive needs of certain personality types that like to be comprehensive (think compulsive note takers, list makers). No harm done, everyone has their quirks.

Better yet, you should know before hand what question the meeting is hoping to answer, even partially. Expect the meeting to be mostly bullshit, concentrate only when everyone nears answering the primary question. It’s a dance, and you real

Your description doesn’t sound too different (if at all) from the face mask/ventilator shortage at the start of the pandemic. We didn’t stock up, and everyone tried to JIT purchase the necessary equipment. Maybe we all have something t

Depends on how the rest of the country plays it. We can leave Colorado devs for dead, or speak up about this practice and get the needed changes nationwide, fuck, even globally. We’re all doing the same job, and I have no idea how the argum

#metoo, for better or worse, demonstrated the effectiveness of transparency based witch hunt. This looks like a prime situation to put fire under the feet of companies. List the position in Colorado first, then we’ll negotiate.

If every car on the road needs to be replaced with an EV/Hybrid Self-driving-assist over the next three decades, then the automotive industry is a growth industry like tech. That means, if you simply try, you can get a piece of the pie

That’s what scares me. I actually don’t think we have the type of productivity in our country to be so aggressive with awarding ourselves debt. Our major growth industry mostly makes apps. We don’t even have a proper semiconductor industry

I am somewhat confused by all of this. If mostly pension/mutual funds, social security, military, Medicaid, is buying our debt (as in Americans are buying its own debt? Very confused), aren’t we basically saying the economy can never h

There is a voyeurism here. At risk of entering extreme levels of armchair psychology, it’s the bystander effect at scale. You are free to Google milk-crate challenge death and see for yourself (how guilty am I for the thing that I condemn).

It’s also worth noting that a whole lot of them survived and made decent products. In fact, I’d say way too many of them survived for it to be a coincidence. If you think about most of our lives, little to no one makes it out alive from a c

I think it’s a matter of time before the copy-cat stuff is going to get us one of those weird Japanese suicide pacts. They are already starting with the new crate challenge (which is dangerous as fuck). https://youtu.be/4bFK

I’ll add a small insidious realization of what stress is. It’s one thing to work hard and feel tired after working hard, the causality is natural. It’s when you feel fatigue before you even start the work. Why am I tired before I even begin

It depends on how your personal incentive structure is modeled. Behaviorally, everything for me is goal oriented. I reward myself when I accomplish something (hard), this is how my parents raised me. Psychologically, I didn’t earn a vacatio

Lol. Thanks for making my day better. Edit: But to add to the comedy (all comedy is tragedy, and all tragedy is comedy according to the Greeks), that’s pretty much the reason why I don’t take vacations. It’s not going to change anything, so

Divorce rates in America indicate that many people don’t consider this. Let’s say you don’t like interacting with certain people that often, then having a kid is kind of a reckless decision. You’ll need the help of your parents, your spouse

I’d like to see a little more data on these long term single people. It takes a village to raise another member of society. How big is one’s social circle, trustworthy friends/family, role models? I bet the monkey sphere is smaller for

Many people are telling you that these are all fake show offs, but here are the facts: 1. We had one of the longest bull runs in stock market history. Even a modest investment in something like Facebook at it’s initial price of $15 dollars

It is also the most empathetic thing you could do. Try to imagine what it would be like if someone handed over their ‘brilliant’ code to you.

That is not what I am suggesting, but alas, you seemed to have proven my point. I did not write clearly enough, and behold the outcome. Now imagine if we all do this in a codebase.

What if the NYTimes had journalists that described the news in their specific prose or worse, poetically. Speak plainly, it’s the news, report it as plainly and accurately as possible. Often many people like to attach mathematics and scienc

Taliban just banned music recently, again. There are two topics here, one is authoritarianism and the other is parenting. Kids shouldn’t be playing games 5 hours a day and looking up to streamers. The government shouldn’t be involved in thi

Good move. I wouldn’t play games with this type of work and extended hours. The nature of the business means a lot of the work won’t equate to perceived personal value, and that burnout and depression will kick in hard inevitably. They don’

What is China’s appetite for dealing with Muslims? It seemed quite intolerant (chuckles). I doubt anyone seriously takes up a foothold in this area other than strong handed Arabs (and even then, seems somehow they splinter off and fight eac
