grajaganDev··on Interview with Andy Yen, CEO of Proton VPN
This a very naive take.

The promised retribution against people who voiced concerns (ie, the Jan 6 Committee) is just beginning.

grajaganDev··on No Bitcoin ETFs at Vanguard (2024)
No, there is always a reasonable expectation that crypto will crash to near zero.

Crypto valuation is based on the greater fool theory and one day you will run out of fools.

grajaganDev··on The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia
Can you back up that solar microgrids will supply enough power to justify NVDA's current valuation?
grajaganDev··on The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia
Right - they are not limiting factors, they are reasons that NVDA is overvalued.

Stock price is based on future earnings.

The smart money knows this and is reacting this morning - thus the drop in NVDA.

grajaganDev··on Mark Zuckerberg: This Man Is a Coward
Sandberg was pushing DEI long before 2020.

And I don't think she was being performative.

Agreed about the cringe cowardice.

grajaganDev··on The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia
There is not enough water (to cool data centers) to justify NVDA's current valuation.

The same is true of electricity - neither nuclear power nor fusion will not be online anytime soon.

grajaganDev··on Astronomers delete asteroid because it turned out to be Tesla Roadster
The article is free advertising for Elon and Tesla.

Elon launched the thing as a publicity stunt and this article amplifies it.

grajaganDev··on Have you ever went out of your way to optimize for taxes?
Yes, I have seriously considered moving to a no/low income tax state.

>I'm not sure I buy into the sensationalism behind this story.

Agreed - Elon gets clicks especially given his recent "involvement" with the US government.

grajaganDev··on Are Americans' perceptions of the economy and crime broken?
Yes, if you can be made to believe absurdities, you can be made to commit atrocities.
grajaganDev··on Tool to teleport your HTTP requests to different Cloudflare datacenters
Very interesting.

Could be useful for pentesters.

grajaganDev··on Have you ever went out of your way to optimize for taxes?
I take steps to minimize my tax liability but not life altering approaches like you are listing.

I live in a very nice place and have no interest in moving. My taxes are exorbitant but worth it to live here.

Many creators have been leaving TT since even prior to the ban.

It is a good deal if you want to influence millions of bots.

I remember the hype when Devin came out about a year ago.

grajaganDev··on Ask HN: How to protect yourself from coding challenge scam?
It takes quite a bit of effort to determine that a repo is free of malware - very likely more effort that the coding challenge itself. And I would not rely on antivirus software.

Checking the background of the hiring company may help. Check the investors, board of directors, founders to make sure they are real and have a backstory. Search TeamBlind or Glassdoor for complaints.

grajaganDev··on Ask HN: Why would Stargate build data centers in a hot location like Texas?
Crypto miners in Texas get paid big money to shut down operations to prevent blackouts.

Maybe that is also the reason for Stargate building there.

grajaganDev··on How to Give Pushback to Leadership

grajaganDev··on First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed – Decentralised TikTok Competitor (2024)
How can TikTok compete when it is not available from the app stores?
grajaganDev··on First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed – Decentralised TikTok Competitor (2024)
Posters on X are "content creators" and get paid based on impressions.
grajaganDev··on First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed – Decentralised TikTok Competitor (2024)
Blocking on X has been severely watered down.

Bluesky has a nuclear block which is awesome.

grajaganDev··on The FizzBuzz that did not get me the job
I am not sure that clean, extensible and debuggable code could be written for such a bizarre set of requirements.
grajaganDev··on The FizzBuzz that did not get me the job
Would any developer be a good match for that company?

My judgment is that this company has no idea of what they are doing. Not uncommon for companies with under 50 employees.

grajaganDev··on OpenAI just put the final nail in the coffin of the open World Wide Web
I am a control freak when it comes to travel arrangements and would also never trust it to automation.
