pxue··on Tell HN: There Is a “$GME Go BRRR” Billboard on Times Square, NYC
Who knew the Best way to occupy wall street was to beat them at their own games.
pxue··on The Battle of GameStop
this is exactly it. people say the market is a melt up.. another bubble. but i think that's wrong.

It's like the show Billions, actual wallstreet does what wsb is doing ALL THE TIME. You make money when someone else loses money, it's simple.

Except this time, the money isn't staying in the fraternity, it's being distributed out to the common folks.

Can't have that it seems.

pxue··on Ask HN: Anyone else burnt out due to extended lockdown and work-from-home?
I may be a rare case. I have the opposite observation from the OP.

My productivity is off the charts this past year. Between cutting out all forms of small talk, commuting, unplanned meetings, and constant bite size updates.. I'm now finally for the first time totally in control of how I spend my day.

I have more time for work and more time for play. I've realized just how much time we waste on things that doesn't matter.

People say the small interactions are important to build relationships, but I would like to challenge that.

Relationships aren't built on small talk. It's built on teamwork and common goals.

I actually think I'm now closer to the people I work with because we work together in a more streamlined way, update only on the most important things, and when we achieve fantastic results, everyone ends the day on an up note.

pxue··on Ask HN: Working part-time in tech?
Contracting is your best bet.

I set my own hours + fully remote. Typically about 2-3h of team meetings (sprint kickoff, retro, grooming etc) a week. Rest of time is off on your own dev work.

Bill by the hour. As long as you work predictable amount of hours, you can do 20h or 60h week.

pxue··on Pelosi: It's time to consider universal basic income pushed by Andrew Yang
QE is not magically injecting trillions into the economy. Feds really don’t give a shit about the economy of dinners and rents of the little people. They care about macro employment rates. Shit, we could have a country 100% employment rate and people can’t pay rent, feds would still be patting themselves on the back for a job well done.
pxue··on Ask HN: Freelancer Rates in the US
Most likely desperate very short term one off contracts.

Almost meaningless to talk about hourly rate without also providing the length of the contract.

pxue··on Ask HN: What skills will be useful during an upcoming recession/depression?
My father lost his job in the 2008 recession at an engineering firm.

He started his own consultancy.

Dozen or so years later he's pulling in mid 6 figures by himself working 40-60h a month at home.

Do the same. Have skills, learn to sell them.

pxue··on Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on?
sustainability in fashion.

there's a lot of "greenwashing" in the industry driven by opaqueness and lack of measurable data.

step #1 is to get more brands on board. step #2 make it easier to monitor supply-chain and have actionable and measurable KPIs built around data.
