Not having an agenda is one thing. Not having an idea about what the meeting's result should be is another. While the former is still unfortunate, it can easily be taken care of within the meeting collaboratively. The latter is harder

Recommendations in the article are good, but in my experience it's often not feasible to have an agenda beforehand in practice. In that case, do the following: * At the beginning of the meeting, do a check-in. Everyone says what's

I think a massively underutilized core strength of developers is that we have a working thought process in front of us in the form of code, which can be used for more than just running a program. In my experience, complexity in the code of

Yes, what you call ennui is really really bad. I'd love to find a reliable way to get out of it. But maybe it's just part of a natural human recreational cycle and needs to be an element of our lives.

I am familiar with the arguments of Jim Rickards, Peter Schiff and other goldbugs regarding cryptos. They are generally saying that crypto is doomed and should be abandoned. They continuously brought up fraud and money laundering until they

Well, I think the comparison to gold holds to a high degree. Let's take alts out of the equation for now. Bitcoin requires energy to be mined and transferred. Same is true for gold. I'd say Bitcoin's and gold's intrinsic

My point is: it boils down to someone putting power into something which then conserves that power (and can be exchanged for something else). Another example of this is gold. To extract it out of the ground, you need to invest energy. That

Well, couldn't you actually sell the coin in exchange for computing power?

Indeed I fail to see any hope for a productive discussion involving different opinions on HN if I see people scrolling down to the bottom of a comment page to put another downvote on an already greyed out post. It's becoming an echo ch

This is different. It's not asbestos or pesticides. What differentiates it is that it's slow death by heating up. Some time in the future. Not now. You can't even measure the success of your political regulations with regard

No that's not what I propose and I also don't think that's what op proposed. If you read the comments again you will see that all that was said is "you won't change the outcome this way", which means that polit

I did not say that you should not worry. Still, spreading fear can yield very dangerous decisions.

It's our technology. We made it. We are responsible. I don't see your point. What do you want people to do? Stop living their lives and give up tech? To what level? Can we keep the wheel? That's not how things work in reality
683.
by starbugs 8y ago
No, it's not. It's a mindset and a positive attitude that is constructive instead of spreading fear and doom, which does not yield any positive outcome at all.

Gentle reminder: op of this thread mentioned Isaac Arthur and futurism in general as a source of inspiration as to how one can positively think about things like climate change. In that context: * Economic viability is a matter of time. Hav

This! It's not about the mistake that led to the breach. It's about what you do once you become aware of it as a company, as a team, and as an individual. I am quite confused about how poor this has been handled by Facebook recent

Interesting. For me, it's exactly the opposite. I hate web interfaces which are embedded in a device with passion. Maybe that's because I have never seen a good one. Before I switched to Unifi I had a couple of these devices. Mana

Just one very popular example: the length of the Walkman lifecycle was about 30 years. How long was the lifecycle of the iPod? Do you have any evidence to support your claim? I'd be honestly interested.

Yes, it's not cheap at first glance. But when you realize that you don't have any maintenance issues anymore and there is no need to buy a new router every few years, it becomes apparent that it has paid off. Not having all the fu
