It definitely implies one of these, and at face value, they're both terrible. A single IP being used somewhere makes sense to go to the ISP and ask "hey who was this IP assigned to at this time?". It does not make sense that

Homomorphic encryption has a 1,000,000x performance disadvantage. So maybe in 30 years as we approach the Landauer limit, but not in our generation.

Yeah I mean a dinosaur extinction meteor could hit the planet but for most people the determination of risk ends around “Complete collapse of USA/EU governments and their currency”. It’s probably the most fundamental axiomatic assumpti

Moreso, because this solution costs $4,000 so it only needs to save one week of one persons engineering time to be a more cost effective solution than “better software engineering”. It’s laziness, but it’s cost effective laziness.

Classic “should” vs. “is” discussion. GP was talking about our existing financial framework, you are talking about a potential ideal framework.

It’s dubious whether cash deposits should (in an ideal nation) be subject to risk. What would it look like if there was a federal deposit bank which offered lower savings interest rates than private banks but also guaranteed unlimited FDIC

Will stick with this for at least a year. I can take classes for free at a top tier university, which I love. Planning to use it to try to get into a well ranked masters program and then maybe FAANG? Pipe dream maybe, I went to a third tier

Why not use YC’s bully pulpit to push for the creation of a federal deposit bank for businesses and consumers? Both the profit and risk could be socialized. It would likely offer lower interest rates on deposits than private competitors, in

I was in the same spot and similar timeline. I just found something that will be compatible with my burnout and terrible employment record. For the most part during that time, pushing forward didn’t seem worth the energy at all. I’m glad I

Laid off in October. Was making $130k as a mid-career embedded/C++/Python guy in LCOL USA. Supposed to start new job this Monday for $80k as an IT backend Java software developer at a University. Been a very, very rough few months

I have different standards as a gamer than I do as a corporate cog. Like when I was a bartender -- at work I needed a $600 blender to make certain drinks. That same day at home, a $20 blender worked just fine.

Mainly because MSFT’s equivalent would be Teams which is marketed to an office environment. We expect everything to be logged for corporate accountability. People get weird about trade secrets. We know MSFT has “access” but we trust that th

Default answer for Americans: “Yes it is still illegal, technically it’s smuggling, assuming it’s not a controlled substance.” Nuanced answer: There is a loophole where Americans can get medicine from overseas if it is the exact same drug&#

This is detailing a report from the FDA about packages they inspected. However, I wonder if there's no overlap with packages inspected by the DEA and/or CBP. The FDA might not see many opiate packages if most of the "hot lead

Of note is that it's only offered in LCOL countries. It doesn't look like Americans can participate in this, so the advertised default of "$500/mo" is really fairly significant in most of the participating countries
