serg_chernata··on GPU mining no longer profitable after Ethereum merge
Love the reference. On a more serious note I'm really curious how this will play out. Nvidia seems to be doing it's best to prop up the prices of existing models as it prepares to launch the 4k series. The big question seems to be whether most of these miners will start mining some other token or get out of gpu mining entirely.
serg_chernata··on LED mounted in a contact lens for possible VR/AR displays (2011)
Technically, the video covers this at the very end. You'd need a lens between the eye and led to focus the light.
serg_chernata··on Tell HN: Turned 44 today and I'm lost
Happy birthday. Today I'm 33 and we sound eerily alike. I'll try to heed some advice from this thread and hope that I won't post the same thing in 11 years.
serg_chernata··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
Agreed. We tried bolting a js front onto our elixir app and instead ended up using liveview. It saves us a ton of effort and has most of the bells and whistles our users expect anyway.
serg_chernata··on How my genius roommate changed my perspective
Jamie's channel is one of my all time favorites. I love watching him work exactly because of his general attitude toward problem solving and how different it is from mine.

But is TSMC producing these ASIC chips?
serg_chernata··on The Elite Master’s Degrees That Don’t Pay Off
I received my MBA in IT from WGU and couldn't be happier. It cost me a total of $8,000 and was one of the best things I have ever done for my education. This MBA cost me a fraction of what my BS did.
serg_chernata··on Happy New Year HN
Happy New Year!
serg_chernata··on YouTube TV sharply increases monthly subscription to $64.99
Same here, I cancelled immediately. I swallowed the previous price increases but this is getting close to regular cable TV. I switched to YTV to avoid cable to begin with.
serg_chernata··on 16-inch MacBook Pro
Then you'll be just as disappointed as I am. This thing comes with 4 USB-C ports and an audio jack. That's it.
serg_chernata··on What I learned from reading a thousand emergency room bills
> without even getting a quote beforehand

Reminds me of this really good article. TLDR: Man tried to call a number of hospitals to find out how much childbirth is going to cost him and received no answers.

serg_chernata··on Apple iPhone Supplier Foxconn Planning Deep Cost Cuts
Honest question, but wouldn't few reflect the demand of many?
serg_chernata··on Blockchain’s Hype Is Dying According to Corporate America’s Earnings Calls
I understand and agree. It's just a "water is wet" article.

There's no profit in current bear market = there's no hype.

serg_chernata··on Blockchain’s Hype Is Dying According to Corporate America’s Earnings Calls
"Blockchain is Dying"

Someone may eventually be right, but the number of times these words have been uttered is astounding.

serg_chernata··on Ask HN: What are some hacks of real founders who did things that don't scale?
Stripe founders used to do manual implementations for customers in the beginning.
serg_chernata··on Trends on Hacker News: Programming Languages and Tools
I was very surprised to see it barely present in the results.
serg_chernata··on Money Can Buy Happiness [pdf]
I actually think you're completely wrong about the first point, at the very least.

>Happiness is the psychological condition that results from the achievement of one’s vales

If I value my family then more family time is going to make me happy. If I value buying nice things then more money is going to make me happy. If I value helping other people then volunteering is going to make me happy.

How exactly is this hypothesis wrong?

serg_chernata··on Ask HN: What discontinued company/product do you wish was still around?
Just to clarify, that's #2 in op's list. I did not know this was discontinued. I'm gonna go home and hug my 2012 MBP extra hard.

I'd love to hear a first-hand perspective of a current or past IBM employee.

serg_chernata··on ‘Star Citizen’ Court Case Reveals the Messy Reality of Crowdfunding a $200M Game
Should I have given another example? Red Dead Redemption series can be another[1]. Not quite a decade, but close to. Also, I never said "most".

serg_chernata··on ‘Star Citizen’ Court Case Reveals the Messy Reality of Crowdfunding a $200M Game
Announcement of existence doesn't mean the project wasn't worked on for many years prior. Either way, this was just a quick example off the top of my head. Nothing will be a proper comparison because, as the headline states, SC is the first to raise this much and take this long to deliver.
serg_chernata··on ‘Star Citizen’ Court Case Reveals the Messy Reality of Crowdfunding a $200M Game
I agree with this too. It's all about your general outlook on things. Plenty Kickstarters have failed and vanished. Will this project do the same? I don't know, but I don't think so. When I contributed, I parted with the amount of money I was comfortable never seeing again.
serg_chernata··on ‘Star Citizen’ Court Case Reveals the Messy Reality of Crowdfunding a $200M Game
Unfortunately, I do like it. To each his own.
serg_chernata··on ‘Star Citizen’ Court Case Reveals the Messy Reality of Crowdfunding a $200M Game
I'm a backer and I have no problem with this. Many AAA titles take a decade or more from start to finish. For example, between Diablo 2 and 3. I want the best space sim and I like what RSI is doing. I'm not holding my breath, just living my life and when the game is finished I will be happy to play it. Although, I also did not drop 5 grand on this game.
serg_chernata··on BitTorrent is selling for $140M to Justin Sun and Tron
I really liked it, but walked away since the "mining client" controversy. Has anything changed since?
serg_chernata··on Facebook CEO speaks to select members of European Parliament
There's a glimmer of hope in my heart, but I stopped caring about these hearings because nothing seems to ever come from them.
serg_chernata··on Buffett bashes Bitcoin as nonproductive, thriving on mystique
Seeking ways to improve existing systems, financial or not, is a productive activity in my book. How successful the effort is, is another discussion entirely.
