toomuchredbull··on Ask HN: Is Cyber Security a particularly masculine position
Ya I mean, clearly there are women in cyber security but I mean, I'm non-confrontational and I know that wouldn't be a good fit for me. Unless I knew the woman was up to it I certainly wouldn't recommend most of my female acquaintances to go into just for, say, the money. It must suck being the one to delay a deployment because of risks, or being a road block all the time.
toomuchredbull··on Ask HN: It finally happened to me, how do you deal with burnout?
I don't know how to deal with it but I'll tell you what not to do. Don't let it build up and overtake you like I did this year. Find a way to deal with it or you can feel like your world is falling apart.
toomuchredbull··on Rethinking Triplebyte
I have not signed up to triplebyte because I don't want to do their screening, but this doesn't make it better. It defeats the purpose.
toomuchredbull··on Amazon Appstore will reduce its developer revenue cut
The Amazon what now? I didn't even know this was a thing. If anything they probably did it to atttract developers to a non-successful platform.
toomuchredbull··on How to Become a Bad Developer
Yup... I find this with swift developers they love to write code that is just a series of : ? ! type symbols to do what should be 3 or 4 lines of readable code into one line of unreadable code.
toomuchredbull··on Europe's Software Problem
Canada has a lot of the same problems, it is finally getting a bit better but we still have a long way to go.
toomuchredbull··on Stripe Identity
Seems handy for building crypto companies
toomuchredbull··on NFT sales plummet nearly 90% from their peak as collectibles market cools
I like NFTs as tickets like with Veefriends. It makes scalping and whatnot transparent and allows you to easily have a great market in the second hand. Imagine season tickets as NFTs. Able to transfer them, hold them in the long term, and teams can earn on each transfer.
toomuchredbull··on Simone Biles Makes History as First Woman to Ever Land Yurchenko Double Pike
They passed such rules for Wayne Gretzky as well.
toomuchredbull··on Ask HN: If you were starting your career today what would you do to get rich?
I didn't comment but I believe there will continue to be a lot of growth in this space. If you can make DEFI/NFTs easily usable to consumers you could make a lot of money. Many unicorns waiting to happen in this space.
toomuchredbull··on G7 nations committing billions more to fossil fuel than green energy
As a Canadian, even I am surprised by how shallow the rhetoric of our PM is in terms of "building back better" and green future. He basically helicoptered an insane amount of money on the population for rampant consumerism and bailed out companies indiscriminately whereas built basically no transit, no green infrastructure whatsoever.
toomuchredbull··on Show HN: Floptimal – Preflop ranges reimagined
Is there a glossary? I know how to play poker roughly but I have no idea how to use this awesome website.
toomuchredbull··on In big tech’s dystopia, cat videos earn millions while real artists beg for tips
How many record sales do you think you would have made in the old day if you only get 5k plays per month for your songs? Hint: it rhymes with Nero.
toomuchredbull··on In big tech’s dystopia, cat videos earn millions while real artists beg for tips
I don't think Da Vinci ever saw that money...
toomuchredbull··on In big tech’s dystopia, cat videos earn millions while real artists beg for tips
It's interesting because lots of creators have a lot more opportunity because the gatekeepers are gone. Someone like Lil Nas X for example, probably would have never been discovered before.
toomuchredbull··on The 2021 iMac is a great family computer
It looks nice but I don't understand who would pick an iMac over a MacBook Pro...
toomuchredbull··on Facebook should never have stifled the debate about Covid’s origins
It's probably best if lay people focused on their families and their work and their general well being, however, I don't know if the best idea is to suppress information, particularly information that is then revealed to be true. It creates a massive distrust in our governing institutions. For instance, I plainly don't trust any of our tech companies at all, nor the government, nor the media with the truth about basically anything. They have all shown they are incapable throughout this pandemic. Not sure having that level of societal disfunction allows people to focus on their families, their jobs, and their general well being.
toomuchredbull··on [dead]
Sad for Bill :(. he had just turned around
toomuchredbull··on The downfall of Malaysia’s biggest sugar daddy platform
On the other way there is a power balance between sexes when it comes to access to sex. Lots of men would be sugar babies if it was possible. I can think of a lot worse ways to pay my rent.
toomuchredbull··on Proof-of-stake is inherently self-referential
Obviously the people who have the most to lose are most motivated to maintain the currencies stability/trustworthiness no? Isn't that the idea? If the people with the most start screwing around, everybody will stop using the currency and they will be left with nothing.
toomuchredbull··on Tech giants join call for funding U.S. chip production
It has been great for the global poor. Terrible for the western middle class.
toomuchredbull··on Writing books is not really a good idea
Hasn't this always been the case? It's like being a playwright or any artist really. A very few successful ones, and lots of people who do it as a hobby. Even some of the successful ones are only successful in death, not life.
toomuchredbull··on Why do we buy into the 'cult' of overwork?
I find the notion that somebody "Invented" the white race ridiculous at it's face. Nobody invented the white race, there is no conspiracy from the rich. It's a silly, stupid idea I don't know why people entertain it.
toomuchredbull··on Estimation of total mortality due to COVID-19
Not to be grim but seems to me that a country that suffered lots of casualties of their oldest, weakest and most infirm and the least economic disaster is probably well suited to be successful in the future.
toomuchredbull··on Clubhouse downloads are falling
This piece is missing. The audience can't do much. They should at least have chat while people are on stage. Seems like an obvious feature to increase participation.
toomuchredbull··on Clubhouse downloads are falling
I find that with most social networks.... normal people ruin it. When twitter was all tech people it was great. Once the normies came in they ruined it. Same with clubhouse. When paulG and other tech luminaries were chatting overnight it was magic. Now it's garbage fake rich people.
toomuchredbull··on Why People Feel Like Victims
I've never been in a room on a hiring committee where they were like, you know what? let's give this white guy a chance. I have been in the room where were like, let's give this minority an extra chance literally dozens of times. I find it very hard to believe that there is an elaborate rouse being played on me personally and that despite not knowing any single person who would actively discriminate against someone, it is everywhere and omnipresent. Do some racists exist? Sure. Are there enough to create this environment where it is a major problem for minorities? No. No way.
toomuchredbull··on Why People Feel Like Victims
Number 2 for instance, is such a small chance it is not really worth mentioning. I believe white people get hit by lightning something like 6 times more likely than blacks and it happens way more than being unarmed and shot by police.
toomuchredbull··on Is Porn Becoming a Monopoly?
Also cryptocurrencies/telegram/signal/ya hell instagram/twitter/tiktok... seems like thousands of tiktokers also have an onlyfans..
toomuchredbull··on On incels, dead bedrooms and the hard problems of loneliness
You don't know any communists in your insanely left and progressive university? I find that hard to believe. I went to a fairly right wing university and the place with lousy with communists. They mostly got better, but still.
