The US does not respond with austerity during a crisis, it responds with ever larger economic stimulus by printing money at the central bank. The next crisis will be no different. …

If the US debt problem leads to capital controls, using Monero will become a federal offence overnight. Might as well call it money-laundering coin.

I use http://google.com.au/maps for maps now because of that sneaky behavior.

I agree with you, but one could argue that R&D money comes from a desire to patent.

The worlds best scientists don’t even know how to make room temp superconductors but this one person on HN is certain that purity doesn’t matter.

I agree that you should not be trying to find an engineer to take on a huge amount of risk co-founding a business and offer them a measly 0.1 to 2% stake in the company. It seems t…

I think the correct people and processes were followed, but they could have saved a great deal of time aligning on the importance and priority of the task by putting together a mee…

No not really any reason. Docker has a bit of overhead but greatly simplifies most of the things the author is doing manually with his self-described “better than the vast majority…

The author does say double digit equity. Not sure where you got 0.1 to 2% from.

This is just simple prejudice.

I've had great success using this helm chart to install the entire stack into my EKS clusters. Even if you're not using Kubernetes, it's still a useful example for how everything s…

AI experts believe AI will have the power to destroy the world. I am not surprised that AI experts are meeting with powerful people to discuss things privately.

The good news is that those copy/pasters are probably going to be copy/pasting higher quality code if they’re using GPT4.

Ask and you shall receive. I’ll put some time into making a blog post with the technical details this weekend. In the mean-time, here’s a lunch and learn video I made to show it to…

Tor exit nodes are abused as tools for DDOS attacks. We had to block them too.

Good point. Environmentally it would probably be net negative to stop using trees and move the production to a lab that consumes electricity.

I made a wagon with an electric motor to carry my things to the park and at music festivals. It has a 1000W brushless DC motor and a drive train for a go cart. It’s controlled by a…

Home users don’t really do this but you might see this kind of private LTE network at an air port.

You can see the licensing fees here for Canada. https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/spectrum-management-telecom... Looks like you’re charged about CAD.04 per MHz per population of the…

Is this why MSG makes people feel sleepy?

A CFL ballast can be modified with a bypass by snipping a couple of wires and tying them to other wires. It takes 10 minutes and it’s reversible. I did it myself after watching a Y…

It feels weird to me to see this kind of comment on HN. I’m sure somewhere out there on the internet there are people complaining that computers suck because they bought a few chea…

I’ve never had a problem with my Phillips Hue bulbs and I’ve owned the same 4 bulbs for 5 years now. I’ve got them scheduled to start brightening at sunset, change to a warmer colo…

I think we probably all spend a good chunk of time in the shower having imaginary conversations to reimagine history. Maybe I need to spend more time imagining conversations that h…

Recover the silver from the panels and bury them. Landfills are great. They keep our garbage out of the ocean. We build parks on top of them and most people don’t even know they’re…
