Totally agree - never received a good candidate from here so I stopped trying a while ago. Maybe once and a while I post. Hiring good people is always hard, it’s a full time job for a full time recruiter.

This is pretty neat. You write a function and then a library automatically creates wrapper libs to be called in a browser as if it’s a function call. A variety of frameworks have done similar - SOAP auto-generated Java libs come to mind - b

I have kept a 70 hour schedule for over 10 years now, it works for me. I am CTO of a fairly large startup I created and I love my work.

It's a free market, someone can create a pro-advertising phone if they think it will be successful. Plenty of Android phones are chock full of terrible adware. It's tough for businesses that thrived on the privacy-compromising fea

Apple is a private company, they decided to limit the current mechanism through which adtech tracked people, and if people dislike it they can switch to more advertising-friendly devices. What I like about the current situation is everythin

I don't care about the wealth pyramid. I care about freedom. If I have skills and a company wants to pay me $XYZ freely for my skills, the government shouldn't be able to arbitrarily cap what I can be paid. Obviously I dislike inc

Somehow businesses marketed effectively before individualized ad tracking. I don’t think the world is going to end.

Using mechanical turk to test consumer purchasing behavior is a meaningless exercise. Consumers care about price and quality, first and foremost. To fully explain the ethical practices of executive pay vs. employee compensation when someone

Don't get into a bunch of dramatic fights in company slack, don't get on your soap box and post your political opinions, don't publicly endorse politicians or parties. Just work at work and use your own time to be an activist

The left despises monopolies in business - they constantly hunt it out and pillory businesses that engage in monopoly activity. The left worships monopolies in education - all education must go through the government and indoctrinate childr

Who is operating the micro service? What are the rate limits? Are there status pages? Who made the code? How secure is it? Can it scale? Or are we supposed to clone all the repos and host ourselves? Do they all have the same deployment cicd

This article has nothing to do with crypto. HN never fails to bring up crypto whenever possible. Stock fraud? Wow should have done crypto. Guy got murdered? I wonder if the hitman was paid in crypto!

The NHS is a disaster and the reason isn't because of "privatization" - it's because on average people don't want to work a job where they need to be a saint. Highly skilled doctors and nurses get paid more, get r

You are experiencing the rot of failing economy in real time. The only solution is useful, productive enterprise - this is how functional, successful societies operate. There could be other paths there, but the most sure bet is to unshackle

All government revenues are the result of taxing citizens. Citizens only have money to be taxed if they are employed in productive money-generating enterprises. If the laws and regulations of the nation are such that the citizens can’t make

To work in crypto at a sophisticated firm like Coinbase, Gemini, Circle (my former company) or my own co, it would be a given you believe in markets and the experimental nature of digital assets given… that is the whole reason to work here!

Totally fair - my company has high revenues (unlike 99% of crypto) and we are essentially a digital Pokémon card company, and we resell our Pokémon card factory to others white label. It is a very straight forwards and logical business mode

HN is the absolute worst place to recruit given the bias against crypto here. But I’ll flip it around and say many startups in all manner of verticals are shaky - Fast.com, innumerable food delivery and fintech, “AI for XYZ” etc. etc. One t

So many people working in VC went straight into it after Stanford without ever starting a company, like it’s investment banking or something. Maybe the VC industry will shrink along with the startups, or at least the unhelpful partners.
