Something tells me they can get away with paying a bit less and still attract experienced candidates who would like to work at a small company with a mission they believe in while working in their preferred language/framework.

Love how this claims that NFTs are “meeting needs” - “Understand ways to identify unmet needs that Web3 can create 10x solutions for”. Typical crypto-bro nonsense with no specifics - what need do NFTs meet aside from money laundering and ga

As mentioned in the article, Kansas City has had free public transit for a bit now. The HN crowd may find it amusing that the transit authority partially made up the budget difference by cutting non-essential management. https://

I second this. It has very detailed descriptions of a given philosopher’s theories and breakdowns of the distinct periods in their life. It is a great resource with well-written and concise explanations (often easier to read and understand

Master-planned communities often don’t work out even with a strong government building them (ex. Chinese ghost cities). This proposal from a private investment group to create one is faintly ridiculous.

I would argue that partial self driving is an irresponsible product not because it's impossible to drive safely with it, but because so many people will use it as an excuse to pay little to no attention to the road. If you personally a
