What does a decentralized Bloomberg terminal look like?

To be honest, it read to me like the ramblings of an unemployed academic who’s struggling to find employment. Academia breeds and welcomes this type of toxic attitude and personali…

There’s a big difference between that and viewbotting, though.

Sorry dang, was in an altered state of mind. Will do so going forward.

Wow very intelligent. Your comment really made me think.

I agree with you. LSD trips gave my life new meaning.

The only psychotherapy we need is from plant medicines. DMT and psilocybin are natural plant teachers that can help us through the traumas we go through in our life.

Or maybe Linus isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind, and that’s why people respect him. You should try it some time. I know when I started doing it on here, my karma plummeted (r…

Ok, then why I do only run into this issue on hardware running OS X? This is across machines (I worked at Apple btw, and had to dogfood Mavericks at the time) and across time. Same…

Now imagine living among those types of people every day. That’s SV in a nutshell. Wrongthink isn’t tolerated.

Agreed. Basically, it is akin to having a second fulltime job. Except you don’t get paid anything.

A real 100 year VC firm would be a DAO. Maybe they aren’t as forward looking as they’d like to believe. Much respect to Alexis and Garry, though. It’s not easy to go it alone.

According to executive privilege, it doesn’t.

What does “equitable hierarchy” mean? Equality of outcome? No thanks. Equality of opportunity? Fine, that’s what we have today.

> Maybe state corporatist capitalism destroys people and places. Try that. Hierarchies destroy people and places. The alternative is lack of a hierarchy, which is anarchy. Which ar…

A word is simply a shared reference to a concept. The consensus is around whether or not that reference is valid anymore. Here’s a concrete example: “citizen” meant something compl…

I noticed this too. What do you think it means, in the context of the culture of SV?

It comes down to equality of outcome vs. equality of opportunity. Homelessness can be solved with the former, it’s just that everyone else will suffer as well.
