When you're talking about these cohesive egalitarian groups of hunter-gatherers, how many people might be in any individual group? The context I'm asking in is that I would suspect this type of arrangement could be pretty effective up to Dunbar's Number. Once your "group" gets above Dunbar's Number (estimated 100-250) it would become increasingly difficult to function without hierarchical structures.
Attaching a transaction history and wallet to an identity perfectly positions keybase as a player in the credit scoring industry.

I’m excited to see this, and hopeful that it takes off. However, I’ve enjoyed utilizing keybase as an identity tool. I’ve had a decent experience with the system as a workplace productivity tool (chat, git). I’m worried that the team will lose focus by branching into a third, and potentially fourth area of focus.
>Google Accounts are free and simple to create, so if a user doesn't want to "link everything together" they can create a new separate account that they only use for Kapwing. Plus, we're aren't "linking" to your Facebook/Google data; we're just reading your name and email from your account.

I don't know about Kapwing, but the problems with this:

1. Simple to create? I just went to the page and it wants birthday, gender, phone number, among other things. And then on top of that, I'm sure there will be a bit more work to confirm my identity (text message or email). Certainly not trivial. And will I need to go yet one more step to confirm anything from Kapwing?

2. Do I need to now monitor this new account for stuff from you? Overhead for me to maintain yet another account, in order to maintain yet a third account (Kapwing).

Benefits of email for me:

1. It's easier to create a throwaway temporary email account than to create a Google account. It is intentionally easier. They exist just for this purpose. Not sure if you've tried it.

2. Clicking on a confirmation link is easy for me.

>Having user's "real" identity helps with validating credit card transactions, sending follow-up receipts and confirmations, and personalizing the site.

This is where creating a separate Google account just for your site would be a negative. I'd have to set it up to forward to my email. I'd rather just get the email from you directly.
> [inflation is not good] when the interest rate on your debt is higher than the rate of inflation.

Yes, it's still good. It still decreases the real value of your principal. Deflation does the opposite.
I don't like inflation and a lot of the points you raise are things that are a problem, but you are raising them in a context that suggests 'it is a class war the capitalists want it this way'.

Most of the points you are raising aren't about capitalists, they are just about entrenched power structures. Capitalists are a different group of people (eg, small business owners). You should find someone else to blame :P.

> Having to fight with your employer year after year for the same wage?

Real wages tend to whatever the market clearing price is. Deflation isn't what makes employees have to fight to keep the same wages, it probably some combination of real factors like:

* Competition from cheap overseas labour

* reduced need for labour in the supply chain

* General increases in supply of labour that exceed growith in supply

Inflation makes it easier to miss, but the capitalists don't really benefit in any meaningful way here.

> Working class unable to effectively save because interest rates are well below the rate of inflation?

Nobody benefits from this. The way our the modern (>1960s) political climate is, the capitalists will end up paying for welfare for the working class to suplpiment their low savings.

> Unable to reason about what's a reasonable price because the central banks keep manipulating your measurement stick?

Clocks can change themselves as a technical matter. I haven't adjusted a clock for daylight savings in several years and I'm excited whenever I notice a theoretical possibility.

The time can change fairly simply because there's only one group of people who need to agree and, once they've agreed, it's binding also on those who disagree. For instance, here in Melbourne it's solely up to the Victorian parliament what timezone we're in and when we're in it. If a change is a contentious matter and after a year of debate it passes through parliament, everyone is subject to that.

Business schedules are harder because there's many many business each of whom would have to go through their local processes. Moreover, it requires the consent not simply of the majority, but of a significant enough supermajority. If 40 per cent don't bother, then the whole system is likely to be thrown into confusion and we can't predict what will happen next year.

Businesses could of course adopt a summer schedule of ten to six to complement their winter schedule of nine to five, but that requires activity on the part of a bunch of businesses who generally don't care enough and are generally happy with daylight savings.

Also, businesses are not subject to the will of their employees. Business leaders might be perfectly happy to knock off work an hour early and play golf while their employees are still toiling away in dingy factories. Consequently, daylight savings would be the preserve of the powerful. Governments are subject to the will of the electorate. If we want daylight savings, we vote in a government who will give it to us. (In principle, this is supposed to work because we vote in a government who is populated by people who are like us and well enough connected to us that they work in our interests. In most countries, ideology (usually neoliberal) has come to dominate parties which nominally care about worker's interests so there isn't as much of a connection. We then lie and say "technology made it all bad" because it's easier to say "those nasty programmers stuffed the world" instead of saying "if we serve the interests of the few the world starts to get really unpleasant".)

What should be the Dribbble equivalent for software engineers then? All I hear these days is, whiteboards for hiring is bad, asking to do a sample project for hiring is bad, now GitHub is bad. I don't know when software engineers became such "I don't want to show my work" industry.

Having a portfolio to show what your capable of is a great way to set yourself apart. I don't think anyone is expecting you to have developed Linux from scratch. But something is better than nothing. Which do you think is more likely to get an interview, someone with several source GitHub projects or someone that says "all my work was closed sourced" and has nothing to show.

Having founded three startups now (2x acquired), most of the best engineers I have ever worked with have a noticeably more active Github/Bitbucket/Gitlab portfolio than the average. In my experience, great engineers have public proof (open source, a self produced product, book, etc) of their craft vs nothing at all.

Now to be clear, just because someone has an active Github, or a book, or whatever doesn't mean you should hire on the spot. But should be someone you'd prioritize over someone that is seemingly too lazy to do any related extra circular activity.

The problem is that Tesla sells 100% of their cars to their base of automatic buyers, and they still lose money. When they try to sell more cars and compete with car makers, they will need to have comparable build quality in order to at least break even.
Let’s also not forget the tie between inflation and GDP. It’s pretty hard to grow an economy if you literally have to dig new currency out of a mine and certify its quality before adding it to the economy. There are very real deflationary pressures from the mere machinations of such a currency.
Most people realize that "Github isn't your resume" unless you are paid to work on open source. Forking repos, submitting the occasional pull request or a random side project don't provide much signal compared the code you've written and the people you've worked with at past companies.

I am currently working on building a tool [1] that helps developers build profiles that articulate very clearly both what they bring to a team and what they are looking for in a next job. We're approaching this as a data problem, but unlike many dark recruiting tools, we think it's important for the developer to be completely in control of the information that makes it into their profile.

I think the concern of losing money over a stolen credit card is very low. The concern of identity theft, OTOH, is very high and very costly. Suddenly being denied a loan to buy a house, and then having difficulty finding any place to rent - pretty bad. Took someone I know over a year to rectify.

Deflation is good for savers if your savings is in terms of currency. Most people with "retirement" savings have them in a 401k, which isn't the greatest due to management fees, but at least it's roughly shielded from inflation.

> You can do that in Go, too--just use interface{}.

This is what I mean by switching back and forth between type-world and no-type-world. If you implement a data type this way, I need to convert your no-type-world (interface{}) data to type-world data at some point after it pops out of your library.

> If you used arrays in PHP, or Ruby, or Python, you can get those--with static typing!--in Go, either with slices for sequential arrays, or maps for associative arrays. I think that satisfies the vast majority of collection use-cases that arise in practical applications of those three languages.

You do often (though not always) see "primitive obsession" in those languages, and Go encourages it even more so due to its only generic containers being the primitives provided by the language.

I don't mean to come off as a Go hater at all. I think it takes the pragmatic side of a ton of trade offs. But I do think that results in some weaknesses that people should be aware of.

I'd venture to guess that if you were making minimum wage and living in a place that was either a 700 mile drive or a $1000 airplane ticket from an international border, you might understand why it seems unnecessary.

> The title of the article says that, but it doesn't appear Elon ever did, at least he is not quoted as such in that article. He is claiming he thinks they can eventually reach, via great difficulty, 5% more production from that plant than Toyota did.

From the article:

But that's just the beginning. Musk said he is considering a subterranean conveyance system that would carry seats and other sub-assemblies from nearby facilities to the assembly plant via new tunnels dug by The Boring Company, Musk's newest company.

"These things get increasingly difficult, but they're all doable," he said. "But I can see a path where we get to, say, 600,000 Model 3 production and 100,000 S and X, so maybe 700,000, which should be like almost 50% more than GM or Toyota got out of the plant. I mean that seems achievable."
The only question I can answer with GitHub is "can you use git." If I'm reviewing a candidate who says they are familiar with git based workflow and they provide a link to their GitHub with > 0 commits, check. If not, consider exploring in an interview.
I don't think you're missing anything. Elastic (I'm not very familiar with Solr) is built on assumptions from TFIDF etc., and a big one is that you reduce the size of your potential result set by looking up words in an index. Obviously that doesn't hold if your documents are represented as word vectors.

You can use something like annoy for searching vector space. It's not made specifically for text search, so you'll have to roll your own normalization and so on, but that's usually the less complicated part anyway.

I do plenty of extra curricular activity.They don't involve coding.

I’ve also hired developers. I have a simplified version of a real world project that we are working on. The methods are skeletons with no code and a bunch of failing unit tests. Part 1 they have to get the unit test passing. Then I give them a harder set of requirements with unit tests. They have to make the second set pass without breaking the first set.

It tells you a lot about how someone thinks.
> How can sports teams not discriminate on the basis of athletic ability?

What applies to a few thousand people playing games does not necessarily apply to society at large.

> It is essential to discriminate in hiring on the basis of qualities that are relevant for the job

Yes, the job has to fit the person, but what about the salary? If a person can only qualify for a certain position based on their innate intelligence then they should not earn less because of that.

Jobs might be distributed based on innate intelligence but distributing income based on innate intelligence would seem to be counter to the anti-discrimination norms that our society lives by.

> "Oh, well, you always take care of it."

That could have been a nice chance to say "Oh cool, I implicitly got this new responsibility? Let me solve this, get to the bottom of it, own the solution, present to the management. Maybe ask for a raise later?".

Part of the the road to success is taking situations like that and turning them into your favor.

I wonder if somehow the manager turned "the experiment" around into another experiment "I wonder how much time she'll waste running the experiment instead of fixing the problem?".

> As your professional accomplishments increase, the value of GitHub profiles (for most) as a marketing tool diminishes dramatically, but can still be helpful.

While I agree that they're less important, especially if there are commercial products/accomplishments that the candidate can point to, I wouldn't say that they diminish dramatically.

For a candidate that has years of industry experience, a look at a GitHub profile can serve as a solid metric for their growth as a developer. I want to not only know that a developer "has been doing something for a while" but that they're honing that craft. For me, personally, I want to look back on anything that's 6-months old and be able to point out everything that I'd do differently[0].

It can also serve much the same purpose that it does for grads/bootcampers. It gives you an opportunity to show off your knowledge in areas that may not be covered by your professional work -- maybe you're doing mostly back-end/systems and want to demonstrate knowledge in React/TypeScript/Angular/front-end. I knew a guy who's repo is filled with rust projects. Professionally, he was a (very capable) Java developer[1]. His rust-filled repo landed him an interview for a job doing mostly systems work in C/C++ with a hope toward moving things over to rust where it made sense ... and no Java work[1].

> I don't always include it on the resume.

I don't include mine, either. The best advice I received on resume writing was "It's to get you an interview, not a job", so I treat it as marketing copy. My github repos (I have a few github accounts) contain a lot of code that I shared because a few others wanted it and Github was the most convenient way to do it -- but that code was hastily written and was never meant to demonstrate my abilities. Some of it -- were it encountered by someone who doesn't understand that caveat -- would make me look bad. If I get a pre-interview (phone interview), I already have an e-mail ready with links to all of that waiting for a "To" field which includes boilerplate that I've also already casually joked about "I'm happy to send all of these to you to reduce time spent googling, as long as you promise you won't judge the thing I wrote in an hour at 2:00 AM on a Saturday night as a prime example of my coding ability and will at least give me an opportunity to apologize for some of the evil I've unleashed on the world."

[0] I always joke that I don't feel like I'm growing as a developer if code that I wrote 6-months ago doesn't mildly embarrass me.

[1] I learned, by accident, that he hated Java (I asked him if he was interested in putting his resume in for a Java position where I currently work) -- it was his first serious language and he'd since explored Clojure and many others but because he was known as "The Java Guy" where he was at, he wasn't able to get out of that line of work over there.
> It would be lovely to live in a world in which telling obese people they should "just eat less"

vs

> Telling cigarette smokers to just smoke less didn't work either, but it's just as prescriptive.

"Work" is a weasel word being used here to describe the initial axiomatic assumption about "fat people". The assumption is there is a measure of conversion not being met by medical advice. The warning about the dangers of cigarettes are the template for such advice, so it's reasonable to equate the two. If you don't think telling people to eat less "works", then telling people to smoke less didn't "work" either. No other lever was applied and people continued to suffer the consequences.

I thought it was obvious, how I was making a correlation to highlight the absurdity of the initial axiomatic statement. I was not trying to revise history.

> Who cares that the dollar gradually declines in value?

Anyone who holds a dollar in their hands. Anyone who invests in assets that are taxed on the inflationary "gains" in value. Anyone who has to wait months/years for a raise to catch up with the intervening inflation. Anyone on a fixed income. Anyone who's inflation rise in wages gets taxed at their highest marginal tax bracket, or even pushes them into a higher bracket.

It's only 7 recent shows [0]. Also, consider Netflix and Hulu aren't competitors. They offer different content, mostly. Hulu has more recent and a far larger back catalog of popular television shows. Netflix has more older movies, original content, and a sprinkling of older television shows.

I'm not defending Hulu, I don't have a subscription. Consider that it's a fraction of the price of cable which has commercials, even with the limited commercials for $11.99, it's quite the bargain. It's on demand too and supported by just about every recent smart TV or streaming device.

It's not that bad with channels. I suppose you don't have to worry about synchronization issues as much with async/await on Node since that's a single threaded environment, but async/await with something like C# isn't any less complicated in that regard that goroutines and channels.

Generally Go code isn't written like typical multithreaded code with synchronization unless you're really trying to optimize something.
