This. I would add that role titles also exist for negotiation purposes. For example, a new employee may prefer to be called "research engineer" instead of "ML DevOps" to open up fu…

That makes sense but I don't know if you can really draw a parallel between email and these devices: (1) Sending email is nearly free, creating devices is not. Not sure if the econ…

What I don't understand about these scams is: It must be quite difficult and expensive to create shrink-wrapped modified devices. But the letter itself is so full of spelling and g…

Derivatives typically have mechanisms that forces them to stay pegged to the underlying asset. So it's not quite the same, even if you don't own the underlying asset. For example, …

Docker, the company, is such a sad story. They have such an impactful technology but completely failed to monetize it and lost multiple revenue streams to competitors. Shows how ha…

I don't think people consider the entire site spam. It's user-created content after all. But if 99% on a site is spam and your articles are not, you may want to consider posting th…

This should have a (2017) tag. NieR:Automata is not just one of my favorite games, but for me it has the best soundtrack out of any videogame I have ever played. Here are some of m…

Sad but I feel the same way. I still enjoy reading HN comments and there are occasional gems among them, but most posts on HN these days reflect the mainstream majority opinion, th…

Yes, you will always need humans to make human judgements but they don't need to be part of a court or central authority. With reputation and consensus incentive systems in place, …

This is a spectrum similar to taking out loans and performing liquidations. If the person you are giving a loan too is sketchy you may refuse the loan or charge higher interest. Th…

Why do you require a central authority? What you require is this: 1. An incentive to evict someone. Money. Someone needs to get paid to actually do the eviction because they are ta…

What do you mean by "That entity isn't the contract"? Yes, the enforcer is not (necessarily) part of the contract. But if the right incentive system is in place and there is consen…

Actually, it's some rules in a spreadsheet. You get tenants out of your rental because someone is getting paid to do it - their salary is in some spreadsheet - and then their work …

There are some test applications and fringe uses cases, some of which are mentioned in this thread, but I've come to the conclusion that crypto is so early that's is more of a move…

I'm not sure if it's since Microsoft but this has been happening A LOT. I've experienced roughly 5-10 outages over the past few months. Most were minor, but they still interrupted …

I really wanted to try Nomad and switch from Kubernetes but I eventually went back to using Kubernetes. To run a Nomad cluster that is feature comparable to a Kubernetes cluster yo…

I'm not sure, but when measuring web server benchmarks I see most people referring to [0] and many Rust frameworks rank at the very top there. Proper benchmarking is hard. [0] http…

I love this comment. It demonstrates nicely how the web and (mostly American, I think other nationalities react differently) culture has changed over the past 20 years. 20 years ag…

It's fine to criticize a technology and saying that you don't understand what problem it solves, but responding to every comment, even those that make clearly valid points, with "m…
