Also interesting! I am still unsure though how losing weight is like climbing mount everest without supplemental oxygen. Can you clarify that part?

Ok interesting, but I still wonder if that’s really analogous to choosing to eat less food? That the person who did it has their own Wikipedia page makes me think it is probably ha…

If you are happy as you are and don’t want to lose weight, why would you be eating less in the first place much less running into psychological problems preventing you from doing s…

Honestly I am doing quite well by following those simple practices. But creating wealth out of nothing is surely more difficult than eating less of what you already have access to.…

Is choosing to eat less really analogous to choosing to be able to breathe without oxygen?

Some people preferring being obese because they are happy about eating lots of food isn’t really a counterargument to the fact that losing weight is as simple as eating less.

It’s so cool how even when teams of scientists have failed there is a random commenter on HN with the answer.

Portland has a lot of problems compared to the last time I was there five years ago, but it's not in quarantine lockdown or anything like that.

Isn’t that what is happening? I was just in the US for a couple weeks (Portland, OR) and rules were minimal and optional everywhere. Not the kind of thing that would drive mental h…

I am surprised it isn’t tied in to US politics somehow.

Is this an actual conspiracy theory?

Ben Eater’s YouTube videos are a great crash course on how computers work, and will make this kind of stuff (and much more) way more obvious if you watch.

I am renouncing for these exact reasons. I am lucky enough not to be rich enough for the exit tax, though.

He seems like a genius but he has also stated that he is mentally ill. This article seems to mythologize the mental illness parts in a really off-putting way.

I would like to attend a meeting organized by Satan from Master & Margarita. Everyone’s wishes are simultaneously realized and all hell breaks loose.

Thats a quite different statement from vcs not being a tool you use. At least how I read it.

Just in time for lots of jobs to go fully remote so you can do this without lots of complicated or risky steps. I hope lots of people try it!

Would you use an accountant who doesn’t think it’s important to know how to file documents, or that their file cabinets are even a tool of the trade?

You could convert it into weird housing and make a mint. Rich people would line up to own a condo there.

I left a C level position over going back into the office even 2 days a week. There were plenty of options to go to an all remote company - I had three offers before choosing where…

The companies are going to lose. There are too many good companies offering flexibility now.

Well it’s waste in the sense that you are spending lots of energy to calculate magic numbers, which don’t have any other value except to prove you own bitcoin. It is or is very nea…

It’s too bad we didn’t go the scifi route of having money be energy credits and instead went the route of proof of energy wasted.

I started at the very bottom (build engineer) and transitioned on the other end to management. It wasn’t SE0-SE10.
