Watching the war in Ukraine, it seems like distributed local generation should be a significant part of the mix for national security reasons.

At least to me it feels a lot closer to Sedoku than Civilization.

I have never thought of KSP as a roguelike/lite, but now that I see it on the chart it actually makes a little sense. I started with Binding of Isaac so I guess I have a fairly loose definition.

I think you’re right, little dopamine hits from attention or feeling self righteous. But I doesn’t seem to work on everyone, and that’s the part of tech Twitter I follow.

Even if you unfollow everyone who occasionally shares outrage posts, there are still a lot of interesting people to follow. That seems to work for me.

It is a site for technical discussion, so it’s important to start with the assumption that nobody except yourself has any idea what they are talking about and go from there. :) Joking aside, I do think it’s a bit to be expected in an anonym

And quite handsome as well. On a more serious note I think people on HN tend to be way more pedantic than anyone I would want to spend time with in real life.

Maybe some kind of sewage treatment metaphor would be more apt?

My opinion of course, but it was terrible immediately after the end of the first season. But that first season was incredible.

It’s a meme, people repost and retweet it. Whether memes are funny is an exercise left to the reader but they are certainly popular.

Or, we the member countries of the general assembly. You can argue whether or not any of those countries have any power, but probably nobody is invading the US to break the embargo if that’s what you mean.

Did Riot eventually sort out the toxic community? If so that would be amazing, and definitely relevant. I stopped playing when it was still there, and it was a big part of the reason I stopped.

Agreed it would be strange, more wondering about how “making a list of richest people based on stocks is disingenuous because they will never be able to get that valuation if they sold it on the market”

by synu 4y ago
That makes sense. But even if you’re one of the world’s richest people and decide for some reason to retire just on the savings of a FAANG engineer, you still eventually die and your assets must be sold or passed on to others. Someone is go

Quite common in rise and grind hustler culture in any industry as well.

If this is true, how would a founder or large shareholder ever retire (or even unexpectedly die and have their estate liquidated) without immediately killing the company they are a majority shareholder in? It seems like this must have happe

Liquid definitely doesn’t mean legal tender, just that you can quickly sell (like stocks on the market.) In contrast with property, collectibles, etc.

My personal experience is that, while you’re absolutely right for startups, large multinationals and companies that don’t see themselves as necessarily tech-first still use it as a selling point. I don’t know if it is effective to do so or

It’s agile for companies that absolutely do not want to adopt agile but want to be able to tell their (prospective) employees that they have.

It seems there are a few companies that handle that for you now, not sure if any are really worth it though.

You can just say you're early. If your vision resonates and you're solving a real problem they will be excited.

Binding of Isaac is really great as an approachable Roguelike.

I don’t think the person you are replying to was saying child slavery was ok, just adding more info on they sometimes get away with it.

I guess it was their aspiration, but they behaved so apallingly to other people that they never went anywhere past middle management.

Realistically he was probably considered something like a prop more than anything.

The worst manager I ever had used to keep a copy of The Prince at his desk. He definitely looked at other people the way this article seems to encourage you to.
