IPFS is really just a mix of a torrent tracker with a torrent client, but once IPFS VMs start paying for themselves, people will sign-up in masses. I guess that's what Filecoin is …

My interpretation of this message is that Google spends $20 billions/quarter and as the ad revenue has dried up, Google will have to spend its $100 billions of savings or consider …

That's the good old choice between safety and freedom.

...and it hurts America in the long term. It's a completely backwards idea to take away opportunities from the society members with highest potential. The inevitable outcome of thi…

Cymatics. It's sound interference drawing some peculiarly complex, but cool looking patterns. Edit: I've tried to find actual math behind those pictures and only found piles of pse…

Here's another observation from an armchair economist. Money flow upwards by forces of debt and contracts. If we short circuit the very top with the very bottom, money will start f…

With skillful division and distribution techniques, it's only $5,000 per person.

This is the good old trick often done by startups: founders & investors create and generously give themselves a lot of shares, diluting the share of rank-and-file employees to zero…

TBH, $10M per senator per year is only $1 billion/year - a rounding error for America. And when a senator has F-U money, there is little incentive for him to take dirty money (true…

I don't get it. The Big Pharma makes some serious money and it needs qualified chemists to make new drugs. The complexity of making these drugs is so high that there should only fe…

That's some really complex mess. How much do these chemists get paid?

Why do you think DNA includes everything?

Let's put it straight: most diverse candidates are given 2 attempts; while most regular candidates are given 1 attempt.

In that case you just slack off hard and do interviewing almost full time.

DNA by itself doesn't produce a human or a cell. You need another functional cell or human to create a replica. I would compare DNA with instructions to create a new car: the instr…

I think there are actually a lot of Paula Beans in FANGs, they just perform at an entirely different level. In short, in order to be called out an incompetent liar, someone needs t…

There is a good chance that you're more qualified than all your interviewers except the 3rd one, who looks like a tenured "staff" engineer or manager. This is the reason you don't …

That's not entirely true because the bar isn't deterministic. For example, diverse candidates are given two attempts to pass a phone screen.

I'd need to prove it, they'd skillfully dodge the request, I'd have to hire expensive lawyers (500/hr) and make a more formal request that's harder to dodge, they'd say the data is…

It's interesting how collecting or distributing files with music is a grave crime and corporations can take down anything they don't like with a half-assed DMCA request, with no re…

This entire thread will be taken down shortly. I've noticed the interesting pattern of comments being downvoted or flagged if they mention the lab.

"China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology." In fa…

Why would a lockdown help? The virus will live in some animals and humans and once the lockdown is over, the spread will resume.

Didn't the virus start from the Wuhan virus lab?
