Thank you - I have thought about this on and off but the thought of speaking to someone about this in-person (or even over the phone) terrifies me to the point of almost breaking d…

> I wasn't quite clear if the problem was the work or the company? I honestly don't have a complete answer for this. I mean, I know the work is a major problem, but it's not the on…

Everything I've read has led me to believe that whiteboard interviews for internal hires/transfers are still a thing at this particular company, so I've avoided even that...

For me, at least, the problem is something else. I never expected it to be "special" at any of these places...I'd likely be exactly this unhappy doing the same meaningless work I'm…

I was at Amazon in the past but I am not currently there. That's as much as I'll narrow things down :) -Edit- I used this acct as a throwaway in the past to respond to an Amazon-re…

"Awful" would be the first word that comes to mind. I've spent three years at my current position at one of the "big 5", and after the first 9 months there were reorgs and I haven'…

Probably the one that isn't owned by two wealthy elite individuals...

What I don't get about Cardano is that it has almost NO use at all. The number of transactions per MINUTE can be counted using only your hands (every so often you may need to inclu…

Hahaha, you mean the vision where one wealthy elite gets even MORE power than everyone else? I suppose it could be even worse though, it could be the upcoming UB fork.

I'd be curious to see any sort of proof (or, for lack of direct proof, something pointing the finger in this direction) in this. I say that without sarcasm. A legitimate request.

Wealthy Elites losing and Wealth Elites gaining, while the normal folk just get to look on in disgust at both. Sounds like the current state of cryptocurrencies for sure.

Just out of curiosity, why only BCash and not the other "big" forks of BTC (like Gold)?

Thoughts like these are what have really reduced my will to live. If I had made a simple decision back then there's a good chance I'd never have to waste my life working again. I c…

Kinda like how a third-party prints USDT in the cryptocurrency case ;)

I was going to be smarmy and post a lmgtfy link with the contents "Wash trading price increase" but decided against it. There's a reason why wash trading is regulated against.

For your question in (2)... Wash trading? Some of the exchanges have zero fees for high enough volume on some trading pairs... and if an exchange themselves are running wash trades…

I'd argue you're getting richer, not wealthier. A very key distinction. I do have money in cryptocurrency, just to be clear. Only because I expect to be able to sell it for a highe…

I keep hearing about how cryptocurrencies are a revolution and the "Greatest Transfer of Wealth in History" and all I have in response is that it appears to be nothing more than ye…

> Bitfinex has been undergoing third party audit from Friedman for months now. Is there proof of this? All I've seen (and I may be ignorant of the rest, so this is a legitimate req…

You mean the document that specifically noted it was not an audit? That audit?

IF there is a hard fork to resolve this I hope some very hard questions are asked regarding why there was a hard fork for this, and not one for the earlier Parity bug given that th…

Disclaimer: Ridiculous pager duty was one of the reasons I quit Amazon (combined with massive failures in management, which I'll describe shortly). The team I was on (retail-relate…

I despise the industry that I work in (the tech industry, if you couldn't guess :) ) and doing nothing but consuming after I put in my time at work is the only thing keeping me fro…

(1) Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, etc. Effectively "printing money". Perhaps not entirely arbitrary, as it's limited to the number of bitcoins in existence in the "main" chain at the…

> I am excited about ethereum, which turns the global mining network into a Turing complete engine for arbiterless smart contracts Until the owners (and there are owners) of Ethere…
