Ah, thank you. I fully understand now the stupidity of my response. The title itself says "cryptographic" in it, and my answers had nothing to do with that. My mistake.

I think that if a VC is using the public markets to raise capital, then we're in a stock market bubble.

I'm uncertain of how much value the SEC provides. Problems they fail to solve: * High brokerage fees * Poor-outcome annuities * Penny stock trading * Risky options trading Tokens are fraught with fraud, but the impetus for research is

The fee structure is very simple and transparent. Customers didn't get tricked or legally trapped, they just didn't consider what happens if the fund loses money.

Books about economics- read Keynes and Friedman. Economic history- lords of finance, too big to fail. Most quant finance books are low quality and I'd suggest avoiding them.

Firebase is great for a couple of use cases - not for an entire SaaS app. Would I use Firebase as a replacement for a relational DB in a traditional SaaS app? No. However, if I had to add real time chat to an app that had no other real time

That line of code was demonstrative. The actual book uses 'Data.Char.IsSpace' which properly handled it. "Returns True for any Unicode space character, and the control characters \t, \n, \r, \f, \v." Before you chastise

Great point! What you're saying is that we can get some benefits for 0 effort if we employ the right software tools. Totally agreed.

I understand your frustration, because when people measure by silly things like LOC then you get a bad environment for developers. I looked on your website, and you have an impressive background and have worked on lots of super interesting

A middle ground wasn't advocated, he was basically saying "let's keep the pace of innovation constant, but improve quality". Putting incremental effort into quality and testing probably requires you slow down your rate o

A huge problem in my opinion, is employee equity and compensation. No doubt, VCs are risking their money. But when you look at the system taking a few steps back, you see tons of VCs have made insane mounts of money in the last decade. Enou

No other auto maker would do this. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this makes me respect Tesla even more. It's also a reminder to engineers to have an extremely high bar of excellence. EDIT: thanks for telling me I'm wron

Are you committed to working as a professional programmer? If not, a rapidly growing area where lots of help is needed is the intersection of computer science and law. Lots of bad laws exist on security and privacy, because the people who d

Marriage definitely made me prune bullshit from my life. I can only imagine what children would do. I would include Anger as a subcategory of bullshit. It promotes irrationality and the after effects hamper you. In the renowned book "E
