Well for sure bagholders of worthless GME stocks aren't winning, but the high volume of transactions spread a lot of money everywhere. 1 or 2 hedge funds are still struggling, but that's their problem, "Wall St" is bigge

But they wrote it in the present tense, said it was a world record even ! And how can you say an earlier iteration will come in the future, that seems like a crypto-truth bending like we see a lot :s Admit it, they exaggerated and removed t

You're also financially involved, akin to a franchisee or a "member" in an MLM, and make money on providing staking services on this blockchain. It's fine, but it's important to put your comments in context: you wil

Right but there's a noticeable difference between claiming millions of transactions per second on your blockchain home page and having around 5 in an audit. Sure transaction speed isn't always a good thing, and 5 tps might be very

No, most people would like to be richer for less effort and therefore will invest early in a technology and expose themselves to larger upsides were it to take of, and repeat marketing material without incurring responsibility if it's

Not the OP you're asking the question to, but I was in exactly his case. I hate rewrites and joined a new company (this was 5 years ago) that was failing their rewrite(6 months in, 4 "verticals" to port, only half-way the fir

Same even for code base my only job was to cleanup, it would be clean 1 week then split back into mess, sometimes by my own doing. The problem is always the same: there is money for result and result is time-sensitive, no money for form and

Ofc there are ! There are 3 know authorities that sometimes intervenes that we must regulate and centralise more: - Tether, which is reasonable enough to block transaction of known stolen USDT - Exchanges who can reverse transactions if the

It's because it's obvious: they are "double your bitcoin" scams: you send them, they double it back. It's as old as digital currency transfer, themselves much older than bitcoin. I remember doing that in Eve Online.

Send me your coins and I'll double them.

Yeah like crypto or not, why would you be paid instantly for doing nothing ? $3k is a month or more of work for most people, did that person really believe the world lied to him and instead of working a month, he could "double" it

The most difficult thing to accept is maybe that even humans are bad at speech recognition. Put your mom in a chatroom to answer questions by clients of a bank, she'll be even more lost than the robot. You need a ton of dimensions to b

Why bother? I did the whole shebang, bought a reader, a new processor, a compatible OLED tv and everything, I could only read a UHD bluray at 30fps if I used the integrated intel card, so had to do crazy config changes to boot correctly wit

You bet she gave consent to Joseph, she even lied and said she was impregnated by an angel to her parents when she had to explain the result. To someone today that would be laughed off and sent to court, but at the time they ran with it...

As a French what I find insane is that I can sorta read it (and I suppose Portuguese can decypher French too), but I do not get what they say at all. Italian, Spanish or Romanian I can, but Portuguese is like totally alien - I wonder how th

The internet also was billed by the phone companies at first ! I suppose everywhere was the same but this was not like a surprising thing when we had only one telco company around 2000.

The perception tells more about the poster than YC for sure, but how will you address this ? I'll be honest, I had the exact same impression and I'm French, living in Hong Kong. For everyone, YC is a sort of Californian techno bub

And the same can be said of non-ML IT ! You always contrast better when you understand the whole history behind why you write something a certain way, even if you could just learn on the job seeing it over and over. It's like how they

Free speech is nothing to be absolute about. Things that were encouraged before can become absolutely abject later on - free speech in the public sphere must be regulated, and is in many jurisdiction (I'm French, I live in China - both
