Which is also correct for Turkey. I'm just a data-point, but Facebook showed me that nearly everyone who can get a job and a visa will leave and, IMHO, not just because of Erdoğan. He was the reason I left but I decided to stay in Germany permanently for other reasons, and those other reasons are probably more clear to others now even before leaving the country.

Related: Turkey is not an economic powerhouse at all. You can't have such a fragile economy and still be called that. You think Erdoğan keeps poking at sensitive matters because he has power to do so? Those are just distractions.
You can’t actually get local news anymore. There was a fire at a nursing home just a few km from my house. Only “reporting” available the next day was via a Facebook group for the local area. The papers that are small enough to cover it no longer exists and it not worth covering in the larger papers.

Yes, Ethereum has been working towards several long-tail projects for years. I think it's more important to distinguish that nothing good or important has come of Ethereum though, and that it is NOT money, and it is not a safe currency. The blockchain is fraught with front-ran txs, the mining is very centralized, and all projects atop ETH suffer dependency on it's success. The blockchain is growing very large which leads to further centralization on very expensive customized equipment. DeFi is a buzzword that means little but "super alpha experimental money leveraging tools" and financial instruments on the cutting edge. Ethereum is Dave & Busters tokens in comparison to Bitcoin being real money.

I am not against cryptocurrencies but I am against the wasted energy of Bitcoin. It needs to be regulated globally now. This is terrible to use more energy than Argentina to pay someone. https://www.statista.com/statistics/881541/bitcoin-energy-co...
Not a bitcoin fanboy, but that's a bit strong a statement. What is "greed" versus motivation for innovation? Is innovation rewarded with (taxed, regulated) wealth greed, and if so, is that "bad"? And if it creates Teslas and rockets that land, and robots on Mars that last a year or more analyzing samples, is it a fatal flaw?

Some more questions... So let's say BTC is greed - the many financial instruments out there, derivatives, credit default swaps, funds of funds, the crazy options stuff going on ... and you drew the line at BTC?

Quite plausible. Extreme Value theory [1] appears to have been codified by the 1960s, and one of the main theorems is credited “to Fréchet (1927), Ronald Fisher and Leonard Henry Caleb Tippett (1928), Mises (1936) and Gnedenko (1943)” [2]. ETA: And the second theorem of Extreme Value Analysis is from the mid 1970s. [3]

> As an Engineer, I sell my time by the hour too.

As in you literally bill for hours, and the more hours you work, the more you get paid?

Most programmers that I know (which is obviously not a great metric) either get paid a salary (which is divorced from actual hours worked) or they get paid by the hour but have no say over how many hours they will. In both cases, time is independent from productivity. Therefor, there's no harm (and really only benefits) to coding efficiently.

But if you a) control how much time you work (like lawyers do, to an extent), and b) get paid for your time, then yes the incentives are setup to encourage you to be inefficient. Completely agreed.

Hell, aside from recurring bills, I put everything on credit and then pay it off within the week. That way I get cashback rewards, build credit and can ensure I have the peace of mind of being able to pay for anything at the time of transaction without worrying about shifting money between accounts or where I am in the pay cycle. It also ensures that, due to building my credit score, I have ample credit at my disposal in an emergency situation. And, of course, the antifraud benefits are immeasurable.

Just because something else is bad already doesn't mean you should introduce more of the same.

Ha! Please look at the average housing stock in a city like LA or SF. Better insulated/efficient/bigger/new/21st century home it is not. The exact same 2 bedroom bungalow they built for returning GIs that probably cost $6000 back then costs north of $1.5m now. New construction only gets a slight bump of maybe another $200-400k or so (the cost of construction). The value isn't in how nice the house is, it's in the dirt below and where it sits on earth. The same $1.6m house in LA might go for $20k if you put it on a trailer and stuck it on some land in Nowhere, Louisiana instead. And don't get me started with the rental stock.

I was a little disappointed to see that there wasn't a discussion of how Netflix provides (or doesn't!) a high-fidelity visual experience. I imagine certain artists require fluid-motion and previews without visual artifacting, so I was hoping there was some discussion about how they provide that. I've used a handful of remote desktop systems, and I haven't found anything that's able to provide even a passable video watching experience. The issue I've run into is that the technology designed for low-latency video heavily utilizes compression, which falls apart when looking at text.

I really wish Microsoft would just throw a ton of money at making RDP an absolutely delightful experience. Last time I checked, RDP wasn't able to use your GPU at all unless you had a very specific, no-longer-maintained version of Windows 10 Pro (the Workstation variant).

Bitcoin was 122 twh/year I believe.

Both gaming and bitcoin kill the planet and are not necessary until global warming under control.

The Economist (which I'm very familiar with) to me should be a model of how newspapers should operate. Make their biases up-front and clear (The Economist is written for and by believers in liberalism) but then report the facts well and clearly. It does help that they manage to tie in some nice british humour to make articles engaging.

I think it also helps that it is a weekly publication, which regularizes the sensationalist events of the day.
Is that statistics? I think of statistics as "given historical data, infer future data". But it seems like what you want is to know which decision is best, which involves many more things (like estimating the impact/utility of each outcome), that seems more like economics?

The keyboard shortcuts improve productivity so much. Yeah, as another said it’s amazing when I try to use Excel on a Mac how much I evidently depend upon the shortcuts in normal use. They’re all different on the Mac version, and I can only take so much of it before I just email myself what I was working on and pick it back up on the PC. Seems like an easy thing for MS to reconcile but I don’t want to give up my keyboard mapping, and I’m sure the Mac Excel guy doesn’t either. Nice feature would be to choose what shortcut layout you wanted despite platform.

It's a big risk. But, to answer your second question, its a public ledger. Its significantly more conducive to surveillance than cash. Just punish people if they send money to an unverified address.

> do one thing until you reach a certain point and start doing another thing

Ideally you do multiple things, but multitasking is hard and distracting. Back when I was a student and the woolly mammoth roamed the earth, I administered a small business website. The traffic was mostly google based. I dedicated significant efforts to build partnerships, brand awareness on small niche forums and websites, a link exchange catalog for same-niche-noncompete websites, leveraged several google-competing platforms, created a mailing list and a customer CRM.

When the latest google algo update all but removed the search traffic, the business did not observe any drop in sales, thanks to multiple points of outreach. When apps arrived, we created an RSS feed app that pinged customers with attractive offers, not repeated on the mailing lists.

Confusing tactics for strategy is a very Silicon Valley thing. Every service will betray you, unless you have rights to the source code, has served me well.
Maybe that's because no one should blindly trust a billionaire's opinion on a form of economics. Same goes for Elon Musk, who's on the opposite end of Bill Gates on BTC. It shouldn't be surprising that Bill Gates, Peter Schiff, and so forth might find BTC to be a threat to at least some of their wealth. (as an example, if cryptocurrency somehow evened the playing field for people to build up their wealth, that's not good for the <1% who won't stop collecting more money than they'll ever need)

Meanwhile, we've got many people(and many of whom I think are extremely hypocritical) piling on the BTC hate mob and using Bill Gates to feed into their viewpoint. Gates is a smart man, but I don't think it's reasonable to believe that his opinion on BTC is worth much more than someone whose net worth is a minuscule fraction of his.

how is it an outlier? it is absolutely competitive when it comes to pay. benefits and WLB are comparable to Amazon, e.g. no free food (except for the infamous amazon bananas).

you could make the argument that neither of them belong on the list, but I would disagree with that too

i would look at these things when deciding which companies should be on the list:

is TC for the position (on average) in the top 5%?

is the company considered to be a potential terminal/apex in one's tech career? as in you could work there until retirement (potentially an early one if you are making enough money)

for the employees who don't stay forever, do they typically go between other employers in the set when switching jobs? (google <-> fb is the main example i think about for this)

i want to include perceived prestige on this list too, but that seems way too difficult and subjective when it comes to quantifying it. one measurement would be how appealing your experience at a member of the set would make you to the rest of the industry as a candidate.

>I have made many many mistakes while flirting and somehow have survived unscathed by whatever you are referring to.

Call yourself lucky then. It's of course anecdotal but I have seen both extreme ends of the spectrum.

Two, both physically very attractive, friends having ass-grabbing competitions at the club and both taking very attractive women home.

On the other hand a shy guy who was pulling all his confidence together and chatting up a girl at the bar, got shot down big time and from then on had the reputation of being a "creeper".

If you ask women, they will usually tell they want to be approached neither on the street nor the store, nor library nor public transport. They reinforce that idea by by wearing earphones, only staring at their phones, evading eye-contact.

So that leaves bar and clubs, you think? Well. they also do not like to be approached these places because they went to the club/bar for dancing/drinking with their friends.

That's exactly what I wrote, so we're in agreement here.

Before 1964 it wasn't driven by a Palestinian national aspirations, it was driven by religious antisemitism/bigotry, and in a much lesser extent by pan-Arabism.

There were many massacres of the Jews (including of women and children) by the local Arabs. It wasn't something specific to Israel, it happened with many minorities all over the Middle East. My family has oral memories of one such massacre.

But I wouldn't call massacres of the civilian minority population - a "resistance".

I didn't mean to be so dismissive but my point is that you making $200/Hour is not just about sending some specific emails based on certain relevant notifications.

I think you need to be careful about making claims like this to people who wouldn't be a good fit to charge $200/Hour. Having said that, do a Show HN and we would love to provide feedback.

> censorship resisten electronic monetary system

I feel sorry for anyone that expects bitcoin to actually be anonymous. Given that we can use statistics and timing to determine the memory contents and instructions run on different cores in a CPU, anyone that uses a currency that keeps public global transaction log and thinks they can anonymize themselves by just mixing their money in a pool is in for a rude awakening at some point. For any useful amount of usage, my guess is they're just kicking the de-anonymization can down the road a few years.

"I actually don’t care"

I don't buy into the idea that you can just know if someone cares enough or not...
It's worth mentioning that this kind of comparison is strange. Bitcoin mining does not get more difficult or change in any way with the number of transactions you mine. Mining always occurs on a single 80-byte header, and the entire transaction portion of that is a Merkle hash tree.

The point here is that if Bitcoin would actually finally increase the block size of their chain (like Bitcoin Cash and others have done) then a.) there wouldn't be a constant backlog of transactions and b.) the "energy-per-tx" graph like this would look better.
I imagine an in-house team is being paid a salary or a retainer, in which case their work hours are moot. (Not a lawyer, so I could be wrong.)

I think the problem is the word "productivity". When we say that word, we're implicitly suggested there's a simple integer or decimal that can capture whether a person's wages are money well spent or not. For most professions, programming included, I am highly skeptical of the existence or even potential for such a number.
