   Still, heard of people getting banned. Or if you accidentally leave something on and swap accounts. I just don't want any software or modification on my PC that could be seen as cheating.

   I feel like crypto meant something different in the early days. I think the 2017/2018 bull run with the BitConnect collapse is where we start seeing major faults in the crypto ecosystem. The NFT/DAO and VC boom is the ideological

   There are many ways to solve the specific problem of overfishing, mostly to set aside zones where fishing is not allowed so the population can recover. This is at the level of government and states, having little to do with anything within

    Teams is the worst software I have ever used, including betas, proof of concepts, and works developed by students. It is both consistently broken and has horrible UX. At this point, its only use is a as a litmus test for how penny pinching

    I'm tempted to build a filter that automatically ignores any comment on HN with the word 'woke.' It is, legitimately, the most annoying culture war I have seen on any forum.

    I'll chime in with billions of data points and 100-300 feature space with some smart feature engineering outperforming DL in runtime/compute (by orders of magnitude) and performance. But the domain was very specific and everything

    Sounds like a cult. They can look back on this work culture with rose colored glasses because Stripe was successful. But for every Stripe there are dozens (hundreds?) of companies with equally demanding cultures that simply fail. I doubt th
