Hah sounds like a lot of HNers have Andy Jassy beat on base salary

There’s tech debt and then there’s poor engineering leadership. There’s no valid reason for a startup looking for market fit to switch frameworks or feature flags multiple times unless you’re just being clueless and looking for silver bullets. Just pick a few “boring” technologies and you’ll be perfectly capable of building anything “web” for at least a decade without messing around .

Classic “visualization is actually just showing population density”

This scheme is certainly faster than an IPO which usually takes 10+ years

Why isn’t there a folding coin? Productive mining and you reward the new protein folds or whatever

Tether is the de facto dollar. Hopefully most exchanges move off of it or at least have alternatives. I’m also wondering if it wouldn’t be the kind of catastrophe people were saying before

Check the dividend

Or it was 2020 already. Crashes don’t need to look the same each time

Don’t blame the sanctions. The sanctions didn’t bomb the wheat fields of Europe into shit and blockade all the seaports in Ukraine

99% of jobs are not interesting or fulfilling.

Practicing your “circle of control” is one of the best things I’ve done for my mental health. I’m not going to worry about a VPs problem. That’s the whole point of not being a VP

These are just as tedious as web programming. SRE even worse. Security might have a few research roles if you’re really lucky but most are boring jobs where you nag people to do things they don’t care about

Solar is certainly not a silver bullet. Putting the same panel in Arizona or Norway will yield a wildly different RoI

The housing market is in a mega bubble. Why exactly does it need support to push it even further into madness?

With the stock being down 72% over 6 months. What a call. And this is a tiny layoff

They have a few modern evergreen licenses like the great British baking show. Apart from those few the portfolio feels very metrics-driven/soulless

I ran those for many years but unfortunately the batteries are old and seem to only last a year these days

Tesla and micro strategy for example holds billions in crypto. If that gets more common then that would cause major contagion

There’s a sucker born every minute. Anyone who sees 40% interest and doesn’t think it’s a scam would’ve lost that money on some other scam

There are a ton of these schemes that promise 10-20%. At best it’s like those 2008 loans that won’t be paid back due to the crash, at worst it’s a ponzi. Celsius and Gemini and a hundred others. There’s a lot more tears left to be spilled

Wild guess - the wrong price they were able to sell at was much higher than the 0.00001 it’s at now.

They do it through exchanges. But what happens there is almost certainly just internal bookkeeping

Depends on what the output is

Yes that’s the case

Bounty: all the liquidity on the platform

Mt. Gox take N! I wish I could withdraw my ETH but it’s staking and Coinbase doesn’t have an option to stop staking or move it in any way

Japan, China, Korea.. all major “eastern” economies are known for way worse academic and professional work life balance

I really don’t understand red hat. Are they just offering good enterprise support or something? I have never heard of anyone choosing Red Hat as their Linux flavor for their servers (or clients) or even in their top 10 flavors

Sanctions are no joke when you run fintech. You can’t just choose to ignore them

USDT is a black box. They almost certainly just write whatever is needed to keep the peg on their “bookkeeping” each day
