Damn, sorry to hear that the cycles became so draining. It's such a powerful tool at surface level in this api/k8s interfacing world that looking under the hood and seeing all the work just knocked me over. You all have…
10 years of R&D good enough? I'm not claiming there aren't advances but there's a long tail to implementing new things. Crude as in there are many forms of existing processes we have inherited and continue on. No…
This excites me. I've been hearing much more lately about how crude our approach to farming/agriculture is and how counterproductive current methods are. No-till, carbon farming, cover crops, etc. which spend more…
We do...we really do! We have such a throwaway culture that prototyping and experimentation has a fairly low bar/cost. Getting serious and building a "sellable" product can have a bit of a ramp (my opinion due to the…
Thank you! This is an awesome list of questions and it's incredibly thoughtful that you documented and shared it with us. It reminds me of Hitchhikers Guide where they know the answer but need the question. So many…
I think the reality is it technically hits this legal grey area. The whole, dating for years and one kid turns 17 while the other is 16 (or whatever the boundary case may be)...this letter vs spirit of the law argument.…
Yeah. I think this represents two issues. One: AI is not AI but a litany of conditionals that poorly reflects what we as humans can determine fairly quickly. Unless the process is unquestionably objective and possibly…
I too. The epitome of Hacker News and one of the reasons I find myself laughing enjoyably so much here. I picture this marathon and the first one trips out of the gate with everyone piling up behind them.
Sadly wrong again. Here's me without paraphrasing > I'm not saying crypto is THE solution and maybe in it's current state it isn't. Your quick admission and then doubling down is disappointing. Ironically, you really…
I'm quite familiar with the economics and it has served me well enough. I'm talking about the actual systems and physical infrastructure. I have been fortunate to work with some of these larger institutions which carry…
I think there is more to it than that. The fact we have currency that fluctuates on a day to day basis despite not being tied to anything beyond our trust in the system is not much better of an argument. There was a…
It is this exactly, thank you for correcting it. I can see how the error could be easily made.
I feel like the "Crypto Crime Wave" is really about NFT foolishness. I had a lot of friends reaching out to understand more. A lot of them didn't really like the reality of how simple it would be to lift and mint a new…
Equifax would like to have a word with you.
I love this. I think to expect perfection in timing and aligning work done by humans, even where someone could make reasonable foresight arguments, is overlooking how challenging this wide level of supporting an…
Same here, I almost fell out of my chair.
Gotta love the term serverless...on par with fullstack developer. It's either a server somewhere handling tasks in a queue or the client is the server. I hate that we have to care so much about "words" but I've seen far…
So well done. I love these styles of development where it can be thrown together quickly but complete the full spectrum of ux, creativity, and hitting that sweet spot that felt satisfying to play. Seriously well done!
You are under the assumption I believe that speculation in it's current form is a good thing. Friedman Doctrine never worked, he himself admitted it. Crypto is not for buying your latte. It's for the people that cannot…
Where is this energy towards banking institutions that use even more Tw hours and do even more damage? Your argument is flawed. Making a bomb has a narrow purpose to do damage. Banking institutions do dramatically more…
I can send money from a cold wallet to any address I want. An exchange is merely a full node with a user interface. To operate as an exchange there are certain KYC/AML rules they must follow. Setting up a node takes…
The last point you made about cryptocurrencies fleecing others bit built with intent to prevent market distortion is dead on. People getting into crypto in fratboy style have gone on the rollercoaster and often are…
why wouldn't you just leverage a stable coin if you are looking for speed? The slowest part of this are the banks and the clearing houses. They essentially "trust" other institutions to a certain extent and vouch for…
Yeah. I think speculation can be good when you don't have the speculators at the top of the food chain. I'm talking specifically about the Friedman Doctrine and making companies beholden to shareholders in the United…
It's no more a scam than the dollar, yuan, or euro. It's as trusted as the system backing it. Can it be trusted enough that you at least can see when it's being manipulated? Can your current system? Some countries…
