"This is leaning heavily on the assumption that your personality is primarily a product of your genetics" Not really. If you allow that it is even 1% due to genetics, that better parenting compounds over generations. And there is

As I understand it, this procedure would result in a near perfect clone baring a few random mutations in the stem cell which they could probably screen for. To digress. I want a clone, more than anything. It's only thing I'd pay

Fucks ? It's one fuck, singular, over the past 6 years. There is this idea that an army of trolls are standing in attack formation and will swarm if he gives in this one time. But that claim seems silly. geohot is rich and if he choose

Yep happened to me. The parent company was an e-cigarette business and they use the profits to buy random patents that have nothing to do with their core business. It was like getting a shakedown call from a mobster.

"If you were the patent troll, what would you do at this point ?" If I could get the trial moved to a jurisdiction where I'm friends with a judge, which I recall was part of the strategy, I'd keep trolling. While geohot

"comma isn’t run by rational actors in suits sitting on a committee. It’s run by me, George Hotz. I’m willing to lose $1M before I give him $10k." This stance is admirable but comma.ai is partly owned by investors. Isn't he o

I suspect this is more common than one might think especially for smaller companies that have enough cash/revenue to be collectable but too small to afford litigation or to take a principled stance like comma.ai plans to do. Ten years

Perhaps you should do a poll HN ? Maybe you could have a question for each of the major platforms ? Last week I was blindsided by an Amazon takedown for example for a product I invented over ten years ago and have been manufacturing and sel

But perhaps it's capable of making vile disfigured images in a fetish theme. The parent comment said they would pay $100/mo to satisfy their fetish, curious what they would pay to eliminate that fetish. If the fetish is your neigh

"you win by convincing people, and not by beating them down or punishing them. That means interacting with them." This is painful and pointless unless it is a good faith discussion. But often people just use you as a sounding boar

If I had to guess, when you started taking it at 50 you were also exceptionally fit and healthy for your age. Would you invest that money in a supplement if you were already over the hill ? According to Dr.Sinclair (referenced in another co

That would be fine. It took over a year to ramp up, if it takes takes that long to ramp down you'll still likely up ~$1000 on $10k for 30 minutes of your time. I wish I had opened my accounts a year ago.

Here's one for you. Buy iBonds from treasury.gov now! Think of it as a risk free savings account that pays almost 10%[0] at the moment since it tracks inflation which is currently high. If you need the money back you just forfeit the l

Alternatively could a host allow you to check-in and then kick you out shortly afterwards ? For example, on July 3 the the house cleaner for the AirBnB next door to my condo claimed they "kicked out" the guest on because they had

From a technocentric POV it does feel like a lot of the opportunity has faded. Last decade I built a crypto miner for a few grand and that has made me a crazy return over the years. I posted a hack-a-day project and it got so much attention

My take away from the abstract is to work-out as early as possible assuming the gym is not 24hours: 1) Ensures that any surface or airborne pathogen generated the evening prior is likely dead. 2) Less people creating respiratory borne aeros

If I were your boss my concern would be how easily you succumbed to blackmail, so don't mention that. Would you be willing to give her company passwords next ? I also wouldn't want to be part of your personal drama. If I got these

Are you honestly comparing rich, possibly bored, coastal Californians looking for that new remote beach city to gentrify to ambitious/poor LATAM immigrants seeking a better way of life and employment in coastal California ? Those are v

I think people from coastal California, such as the couple featured in the article, take for granted the spontaneous joy when random friends and family pop into the city, because of a work trip for example, and try to meet up. And then proc

What worked for me past years is having a vision for the money earned at work. My vision is time/energy/financial independence and I do that by buying income paying assets (e.g., rental properties), running a small business, and b

First, accept that people have different goals and predilections and you should begin by asking clarifying questions. But if you advise primarily from your perspective then you aren't advising you are just talking about yourself, which

A bit of a tangent, but I recently read in an evolutionary psychology book (Moral Animal, maybe?) that there is a natural tendency for adolescents to seek distance from their primary care givers. I wonder if Erik ever felt that during his t

Perhaps the level of love and care for a baby/child are positively correlated to the severity of challenges parents face during pregnancy and eventual pain a mother endures in the natural childbirth. Hazing rituals exist for a reason.
