Maybe I should stop looking at jobs in the Bay Area as an almost NCG?

I'm at a loss as to why this article claims being on the autism scale / weird is only hard for women...?

I feel like a majority of the regressive behavior Cuban sights emanates from existing sociology and philosophy programs at the university level...

Cool! I can't wait to see data centers that are pulsating with RGB light in a seizure inducing "Linus Tech Tips - THE MOST INSANE RGB DATA CENTER EVER" kind of way. With all the lights there for "security reasons"

As obnoxious as randomly pulsating RGB led's are, it seems like a great way to defeat data exfiltration with status LED's of any kind. I'm also curious why air-gapped data centers don't blast the air-waves both inside and outside of the faraday cages with randomized signal noise.

As someone who grew up in ATX with family from originally from NYC, I have a very unique and somewhat ephemeral "southern accent".

But I find myself talking the way this article depicted. Oddly enough, most of the time people are either disappointed I don't have an accent or think I'm from Chicago.

Pretty much the plot of the HBO series "Ballers". It's not the most intellectual show, but it does tie together the fallacy of "Balling", essentially how trying to maintain an outward perspective of wealth and excess usually leads to a quick demise of said wealth...

IOTA is a fantastic example of how far a heap of shit (yes, we're talking unary logic shit-tier) can get with a home run marketing wise and an absolute lack of ethics.

The IOTA team deserves every bit of backlash coming their way...

Is there an equivalent to WireGaurd that can be used on Android or IOS?

ETH will surely survive in some capacity since nearly all “tokenized” assets are built on top of ETH.

However, I don’t think the picture is nearly as rosy for bitcoin. Hopefully this market event (yes, not a correction) will cull some of the less informed to actually learn something, more so that crypto is incredibly risky.

This seems likely for Bitcoin and its derivatives (LiteCoin and any other platforms that don’t plan to move away from Proof of Work or have no real utility).

However, I don’t see any long term risk with ETH or Monero. Hopefully this teaches clueless investors how much hype and not accounting for exposure can hurt...

The real question is... Will there be an ICO??

Not that I expect anyone at VICE to understand basic physics let alone thermodynamics, but the amount of energy and labor necessary to heat all city streets would surely surpass $1B anywhere in the U.S. ...

Seems like buying this first round of "clean" silicon would be a bad idea since it's guaranteed to be a rushed architecture. Just hard to believe that corners won't be cut at some level to get this release out.

I think this kind of friction between Beme and CNN was likely very similar to the friction that pushed Boston Dynamics and Google apart.

Could you possibly elaborate on how the breakdown of an exit like Beme's (prior to CNN) could have resulted in Casey not taking much?

I thought Beme was dumb, just curious to learn more about the mechanics of this kind of deal.

That was quick.

Then again, good on Casey Neistat for squeezing out hopefully a cool few million from CNN.

If they come to Boston, I'll be leaving ASAP.

Please don't ruin Austin either...

Most of my co-workers and friends who are women work in the industry / realm of software are put off by this kind of virtue signaling. When can we all accept that special treatment is not equality and just stop caring about what genitalia are attached to programmers or people making cool shit?

When will people (journalists with a juvenile understanding of systems behind crypto-currencies) start to understand that writing about price fluctuations really isn't valuable as news and offers almost no sentiment whatsoever?...

If Amazon HQ2 comes to Boston I will proudly move away.

2018 is going to be a rough year...

lol

Must've been after it's feature on last night's episode of Mr. Robot....

I never thought I'd see the day when VICE articles were posted to Hacker News...

Brb, shredding my iPhone and purchasing a DumbPhone TM.

Most of the grit of blockchain work is in the flows and practices used to build apps / dapps around existing blockchains. There aren't any books that you can read or comprehensive Medium blogs that cover this content.

Core blockchain dev, i.e. at a protocol level requires serious chops, not the kind of thing you can just pick up in a few months.

I'd recommend brushing up on broad blockchain concepts and not just intensely studying a single chain / platform. If you want to get into the industry your best bet is to find a company willing to hire you and let you learn hands on.

This seems like a cavalier marketing stunt from BTC maximalists.

It's cool, but really just a glorified form of APRS being broadcast over digipeaters, except the digipeaters being used are in orbit.

Please don't come to Austin. All you Californians do is complain about the heat!

I love this concept! However, when it comes to conventional theaters fetching the most revenue possible, it seems like the problem is what to play in a limited number of theaters, not becessarily as many people as possible.

I could see people liking this idea, however if there's only a movie or tv show you wanted to see a few times a month would it really be worth it? I could also foresee this system could further ruin the fun of the big screen, an example is Alamo Draft House in ATX offering tickets and seat reservations months in advance. This makes it nearly impossible to just see a movie one day on impulse with friends.
