rublev··on Silicon Valley Is Not Your Friend
>Not tweeting (much), not instagramming (much), not posting on Facebook (much)

It's not a spectrum. You are a user and you are rationalizing your cognitive dissonance. Just delete it, those things are completely useless/pointless and you're being tracked regardless of whatever precautions you take. You are on it, or you are not.

rublev··on Global Demand for Bitcoin Shifts Wildly in Response to Regulation
the USD, public perception and its subsequent psychology, and mining. or did i read the question wrong.
rublev··on I Keep Quiet About Being a Cancer Doctor
>DC and SF are terrible with this, and if the wrong person finds out you can program they'll bother you all night with terrible ideas they want you to implement for them when all you want to do is get drunk.

So? Take them for an equal ride. It's a lot of fun.

rublev··on Show HN: An API for filling out PDF forms
I honestly can't read this without visualizing someone rolling their eyes after every thought while finishing their sentence sarcastically with a vocal fry lol.
rublev··on Show HN: An API for filling out PDF forms
What's with the 3 ellipses? A few of my friends text that way and it feels awkward.
rublev··on Show HN: An API for filling out PDF forms
I've got formy.io if you want it. Was building something similar way back.
rublev··on [dead]
This reads/looks like spam. Rehashed basic music theory into a terrible WP blog. Why is this on HN?
rublev··on 2017 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythm
Aren't you basically foursquare but for health? Just taking a bunch of data, repackaging and reselling it to the health industry. I went to your site and I don't see anything besides "we take a bunch of data and apply machine learning" and other fluffy writing. It reads like snake oil.

"We take a bunch of random data and somehow do some ML stuff and something something mental health... here's some pictures of a old people!"

Maybe I'm too dumb or don't understand what you're doing but this was my first impression.

rublev··on Ask HN: How much do you sleep?
8-10 solid hours a day. No alarm clock. Work from home.
rublev··on A Whale's Guide to Crypto Trading (2014) [pdf]
Most likely leaked from a private channel. Lots of these types of little documents.
rublev··on The Impossible Burger
>But frankly, most veggies I know are just regular folks with regular quirks.

Do you mean a vegetarian? Never heard 'veggie' before. Heard 'veeg' (vege?) though.

rublev··on The Impossible Burger
You know very well what they meant. The same 'type' of person is more likely to be into 'cleansing' and yoga and other middle class nonsense that others don't have the time or money to think/care about and will freuquently deceive themselves. "I don't eat meat or any of those fake GMO's! Oh look, a non beef burger!" in the same breath.
rublev··on Facebook’s war on free will
Disabled all that social media shit way back. Didn't look back once. People who mattered reached out, those who didn't, didn't. Life moved on. So much for all their "psychological influence".
rublev··on Top medical experts say we should decriminalize all drugs (2016)
Video games costs money. When you've got a habit and no job, how are you going to pay? People steal to support their habits. Little children have their childhood stolen because their parents were always gaming. People crash cars and kill people because their attention is on their little screen. That's why video games should be illegal.

You can do this with literally anything.

rublev··on Spain Fines Facebook Over Tracking Users Without Consent
>So how does the Internet transition to constitutional monarchy and democracy?

What does this mean? How you envision this happening?

rublev··on Sublime Text 3.0
Opened a 1GB text file on MacOS 15gb ram and SSD.
rublev··on Sublime Text 3.0
Nothing is faster for me when opening gargantuan text files. It's never broken for me and never lagged either. I think that's pretty impressive, not to mention the customizability options.
rublev··on The Pentagon Is Spending Up To $2.2B on Soviet-Style Arms for Syrian Rebels
>we've been in 1984 long before I was born and long before my parents were born.

Can you expand on this? Thanks.

rublev··on Friends Are Genetically Similar (2014)
Nobody said that. They're saying you cannot reason yourself out of your boner. Just that the impulse will always be there, I just choose to ignore it.
rublev··on You are not 'behind'
I'm going to the doctor. Most days I wake up with so much to do and my mind just crashes and burns. When I am in the zone (couple times a month) I get more done in that zone time than the entire month.
rublev··on Young People Need Another Gold Rush
Yes, crypto trading. Nobody is into mining anymore.
rublev··on I spent my career in tech, but wasn’t prepared for its effect on my kids
Can't wait to raise my kids in a small village away from all this city/tech/social garbage.
rublev··on Ask HN: How much do developers earn in Europe?
Was joke.
rublev··on Ask HN: How much do developers earn in Europe?
Russia.
rublev··on Don't mine Bitcoin, mine Altcoins
More profitable to trade altcoins and get in on rumors then sell when they go high, and cash out to BTC/BCC when you can. Problem with a lot of alts is they don't go anywhere. If you were lucky and say mined NEO then you're fine, but what about the other 100's of alts?
rublev··on Are You Downplaying Luck’s Role in Your Life?
Does the thought sometimes hit you like a pile of bricks when you're sitting at work? Damn.
rublev··on Ask HN: How much do developers earn in Europe?
Russia is European culturally not geographically.
rublev··on Are You Downplaying Luck’s Role in Your Life?
I feel like that's the final straw that will break my streak. Don't want to overplay my hand :P
rublev··on Are You Downplaying Luck’s Role in Your Life?
Enough to not work and day trade (lose) shit coins all day. On the other hand life is sort of pointless now. Trying to avoid the hedonic treadmill.

I'm not rich, I can just pay my rent for a decade and a half before really having to dip into savings.

rublev··on Are You Downplaying Luck’s Role in Your Life?
My entire life is luck. Sometimes I have a moment of appreciation where I realize it fully and laugh to myself maniacally wondering when and how the streak will end. I've never attributed much of my success to anything but right place right time. Honestly most people could do my job if they tried, I just happened to meet the right people. I got into my career accidentally. Accidentally met my fiancee. Accidentally met all of my best friends, just on the bus, or at a park or something. Sometimes I think about if I just tweaked any one of those happenstances how it would all fall apart. The thought tickles me greatly.

For example, I heard about crypto because some guy in WoW wanted to buy my character off of me painlessly. He told me to register on btc-e, then I got a bunch of BTC and that was it. 5 years later I hear about crypto again, remembered those coins, and boom, life changed. All because I was in some virtual world at 3am on a Thursday trying to sell off my WoW character for beer money for the next day.
