Bitcoin, tor, bittorrent are all perfect examples of decentralization simply not working in practice

It’s not massive. It’s extremely tiny. It’s just that the system is very delicate and we are even tinier, so the effects from our perspective are large. (Think getting hit with a l…

How many times have you used google or gmail or YouTube or android today?

Interesting and surprising comments. Anyone ever heard of AOL? Are they dead? I think Google will likely go through similar path as Microsoft; such a tech powerhouse and cash cow f…

Much much happier working remote in a small town. That satisfaction would likely drop with the salary arbitrage dropping. If I could afford privacy in Palo Alto, I’m sure I could b…

It's of course a huge improvement. It was close and I'd probably have been happy with either but ultimately the telluride had features i cared about (better towing) and palisade ha…

I just bought a 23 Kia Telluride (was also looking at palisades) to upgrade my 05 outback; I did extensive research, and ended up zoning in on Hyundai-Kia specifically because thei…

I’ve never worked at a huge org. I assume though that there is a hypocrisy between what you are asked to do (trivial small things) and what is rewarded (big bold changes).

How do you know if you’re the one calling disruptive ideas “hype?” Because statistically, you probably are. We all are.

The structure of scientific revolutions (kuhns seminal contribution) has influenced and helped my thinking more than any other prose by a large margin. The desperation which fully-…

I can do voice calls over WiFi, but SMS does not seem to ever go over Wi-Fi. Because I am rural and connection is so valuable, I carry two phones, one on Verizon, one on ATT+TMobil…

integration with imessage would be the most valuable. where internet is strong, but cell signal is weak, SMS is really brutal. that's my life. any data that can't flow "over the in…

You lost me at SMS.

> Also, people do not get rich from incomes, as a general rule. People who cannot save money that they can invest into their own endeavors or others, very rarely get rich. Of cours…

> either your claim is wrong, or hardly anyone is willing or able to do even one or two things better than most people That is cute, but not logical. Let me offer a third option: p…

It is very easy to get wealthy (assuming access to western markets and not being party to systemic racism) if you are willing or able to do even one or two things better than most …

Thanks for saying it. Industrial energy storage hardly strikes the intuition as less tractable than a skyscraper in the desert or a tunnel under the ocean

i'm a cto persuing a cfa because i have an interest in business. i think its completely absurd that you would think a CFA would be irrelevant to business.

Others have said CFA. CFA is the obvious paved path to what you are looking for. A few grand to add some letters to your name, and it will forever alter the way you think about bus…

would be nice to replace the link with google translate version linked below; rather than remove. i don't even see this on reuters edit: with all due respect; a bunch of right wing…

as someone who can't guess exactly what faction broke through and why, this seemed the most relevant: https://www.euronews.com/2023/01/04/brazils-bolsonaro-may-fa...

10 day (free) vipassana meditation retreats will fix you right up. Don’t get caught up in the dogma though. dhamma dot org

It’s not, if your job is to onboard a new engineer. Those first few months make all the difference. If the “other parts” of your job prevent you from maximally optimizing the produ…
