People often act like victims of scams need to be smarter, however widespread scamming places an immense burden on the broader economy. It increases the cost of doing business, since you have to do more verification for…
You learn category theory for intellectual curiosity. I learn category theory to pass a Haskell course. We are not the same.
That's not what he's saying. The "digital money" can be real if it is put into circulation by the central bank, by buying assets. There is no inherent connection to paper currency. You may feel like you're above this,…

I think it's a tradeoff. As a comparison, I like learning about coding and software architecture through videos and other online resources. The field is so vast that looking at other peoples' code is the easiest way to…
Just got hired doing firmware stuff. Core technologies seem to still be doing okay.
Reserve requirements as of 2020: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm Remember, the balance in your account is nothing more than the bank's record of its liability to you.
The Federal Reserve Act had the original reserve requirement at 40% IIRC (as in, what the fed needed to keep). Current reserve requirements: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm
> But the reality is that growth only works when you build on someone's strengths. Respectfully disagree. Growth comes from going beyond what you're comfortable with. Also not sure this is "ungrowth" and more a general…
I was previously unaware of this issue, but wow. Seems like a good case for a class action against Apple for replacement SSDs.
Perhaps this is true, but this is all the more reason why giving social media sites the right to police free speech/expression is too much. Public discourse today happens online. The "uhhhh, this is a private venue,…
Freedom of choice aside, there is also a shocking lack of awareness that a major factor in the rise of the internet is that it wasn't like traditional media. There were memes, blogs, video content, music, etc. that…

If you're someone who has pride in their work, you should want to learn. Technical curiosity is invaluable in this field and it seems odd that there are people who insist on sticking around despite lacking it. I don't…
I have the technical aptitude of a slug but I was getting terrible uptime when hosting my site on a raspberry pi 4. YMMV.
Although I maintain that a persistent travel itch is a symptom of dissatisfaction in day-to-day life which should be addressed, I backpacked Europe and the Middle East the summer after university. I was an incredibly…
The quality to noise ratio on mostly social media platforms has become obscenely low over the past three years or so. I do think social media can be a force for good but it seems like the algorithms are best at…
For me, reddit is the one that gets me angry. It's addicting, but also seems like teenagers and bots arguing with it each other. Instagram is increasingly inundated with ads, but at least I get to see thirst traps and…
The "protestant work ethic" promotes this vague notion that labour, toil and suffering on earth brings one closer to god. This is more deeply rooted in western cultures than you'd think and feeds into the "work hard and…
Completely depends on the role. Most developers aren't cranking out code all day though. Your arrangement seems to be more common in corporate development.
It's not so much high schooler choice or HR's inability to properly assess candidates (although that is also a factor). It's the emotional and material "stock" put into degrees by degree holders that guarantees that…
While these sorts of analyses are worthwhile, the primary reason they're necessary is because college has become such a raw deal and costs far too much, even for degrees with "good" ROI. I paid $40k to teach myself 80%…
Nvm, it is ex-employees.
It seems the idea is more that current employees can help onboard their friends by eating the upfront costs.
