The missing piece is you had no leverage. As PG says leverage is everything.

I'll chime in. No they are not offering FAANG or bay areas salaries for equal experience. They would pay wokay for the montreal area. Glassdoor lists a system developer role for under 100,000 cnd.

It mirrors a regular startup which is more male.

Agencies in general are more populated with women,gender minorities for a variety of reasons.

Porn doesn't hang on the walls. And you are more likely to find harassment outside of a business like this because everyone would try harder to make the female welcome because of the sigma.

A patent doesn't.

From your prespective how common are those types of roles in all industries as a whole?

There are interesting compiler roles but the vast majority who learn how to build a compiler never use it day to day work. Would you recommend spending more time building compilers to better compete for those few roles or would you recommend a different approach?

wolco2··on Bitcoin breaks above $20k for the first time ever
It would have been when it hit 10,000 and dropped below 5,000 for awhile. Depends on when you cash out.

The recent large group who jump into software after the hype seems like the unhappiest group.

I'm just happy I get to see a terminal screen for a living.

Just a warning based on the past.. those who buy now will see huge drop in value. Setting a record usually is a good time to cash out a bit.

If you spend your time learning about the details of audio playback what kind of additional time do you have to learn leetcode?

wolco2··on Pornhub just purged all unverified content from the platform
Comparing social media sites incidents and take down polcies for these types of sites are not meaningless.

If someone emailed you some material should your emailbox, you or all email be taken away from society? The reality of user generated content being uploaded and breaking a sites tos is all too common.

The stats compared to facebook show the opposite.

100 or so items over three years is a success story compared to any other social network.

You need trust in the messager. If this person has religious objections ignoring that is ignoring reality. The messager is the message

Most popular media sites do not allow adult content, nudity or other forms. Instagram,tiktok,facebook,apps stores while others like youtube may allow some suggested content if logged in but many would not classify these as porngraphic but more content geared towards adults. Whatever porngraphic material can be found is in the process of being removed.

wolco2··on Tesla's market cap now accounts for roughly 1/3rd of the global automaker market
I think you misunderstand what the market is. It isn't some reality driven by known data you have available. It's a popularity market that must judge the future as well as the now.

Unproven insurance model with a 40% potential.

Insane demand causing shortages in solar panels is a great company to give money to.

Remember the goal of investing in the market is to know where the market is going and to get there quickier. You are saying the market is wrong on valuation.. you can't really bet on that only market players reactions.

wolco2··on Ask HN: Was 20% time a good policy for Google's working culture?
Those 20% at a startup can be where one fixes everything they wanted to but was never given the time.

It's impossible at a company if you haven't built your main product yet so I'm not sure how it could work at a startup.

wolco2··on Goodreads plans to retire API access, disables existing API keys
" would rather get on with my life, than waste 10 minutes a day clicking on privacy policies. "

The price of privacy sounds cheap. 10 minutes a day for privacy. How much cheaper do you need it to be.

wolco2··on Why radio receivers won’t tune 800-900 MHz
I had a weird situation 12 years ago. I got a tv for christmas. When I set it up it scanned for channels. It picked up channels with decimals in the high range and there were pay movies on but when they finished the channel would go dead. The next day I rescanned the channels because of fuzzyness and it picked up new channels with decimals. This time some of the movies were x-rated.

I would rescan daily usually in the evenings and watch what other people paided for. Thursdays and Fridays were good. During the day mostly kids movies.

In the mornings someone would watch a porn fast forward 10 minutes to one specific part.. slow down the video to play 2 minutes then turn it off. Very funny.

If you are in a building let your tv scan for channels in the evenings. If you see a decimal high channels you may have it too.

I worked at radio shack outside the US in the late 90s.. we use to listen to cell phone calls. Most calls were drug dealers,some were affairs mostly it was call girls. The variety was great.

But if you wrote something today and recorded

I would need a license to print your words.

A license to use your exact song if longer than 7-15 seconds.

A license to perform a cover if it sounds the same.
