Why write an article if you quite literally have zero understanding of the basic benefits of crypto?

am33··on Show HN: Website to Get Job Referrals in 5 Minutes
>How are you validating my credentials as an applicant?

Applicants submit their resume, LinkedIn, and answers to why they'd be a good fit for a certain company + a mini biography about themselves.

> As an employee when I refer someone it's because I have a good understanding of their person, character and ability.

Many, if not most, referrals are people that don't know each other very well and either connected through LinkedIn, had a quick phone call, or had a quick coffee chat. We think that these same subjects can be covered in a few questions online.

am33··on Ask HN: Have you been on a meditation retreat? How has it changed your life?
I've been on 2 10 day Vipassana meditation retreats (as taught by SN Goenka).

I had bad OCD that was entirely cured after 2 10-day courses + an average of 2-3 hours of meditation practice every day for 1-2 years.

However, even 2 hours of meditation practice for 6 months after the first retreat got my OCD to a very manageable level.

Really recommend going!

am33··on Zuckerberg’s Rules Would Hurt Everyone but Facebook
I hate zuck as much as the next guy, but this writer is being dishonest.

Data portability is the first step in allowing other companies to compete with FB and takes away a huge advantage they have (switching costs). Call a spade a spade.
