>Where it gets interesting is... what if crypto becomes anathema? What if accepting crypto or holding crypto starts become so closely associated with directly causing climate change, that no company is going to want to be openly associated with crypto, NFTs, etc due to the negative association?

I think this is going to increasingly become true, and I think it may lead to an interesting and divisive future. I suspect that if Ethereum actually does fully transition to Proof of Stake and the network doesn't suffer any serious issues for a year or two afterwards, its price may surpass Bitcoin's in a few years, and decisions to use/trade/hold Bitcoin vs. Ethereum will become exponentially more ethically, politically, culturally, and tribally charged than they are now.

If that turns out to be the case, I also predict Bitcoin will one day move to a different consensus system that consumes less energy - but it may take a decade, several hard forks, and the (metaphorically) bloodiest internet flamewars and in-fights ever seen before it actually happens.
You misread my statement. The trust of banks is an illusion and actually slower than the consensus.

I don't "boost" crypto. I disagree that crypto is how we should buy our lattes.

If you live in a country where financial independence and control is not a reality this could be something greater than the corrupt system you are trying to extricate yourself from.

There is rampant corruption in crypto and although I feel easier to see, still a dangerous investment vehicle.

Is this the thing that changes the world? I think it did in some ways already. Is it the final iteration? I doubt it.

As a first cut, I am wholly impressed and I believe it can create something different.

yeah, autism is very much an "umbrella term". we define it by the effects, not by any identifiable causes. there are still broad "less impacted" and "more impacted" cases, arguably a spectrum, but it's very very much not linear.

cystic fibrosis used to be under the (all-encompassing) umbrella "chronic fatigue" because, well, they were chronically fatigued. when its niche finally gained enough data to escape the umbrella, diagnosis and treatment greatly accelerated. of course, you'd expect that once a cause is identified, but umbrellas tend to contain many totally unrelated sub-causes with wildly different subtleties that just happen to fit a vague description that matches others.
I call a company one time and the phone was answered in 1/2 second, the person picking up clearly got all the details on their screen as she correctly guessed why i called (which was not all that obvious) then suggested a good solution and (now 2 sec into the call) told me to call again if i had more questions, to have a nice day and ended the call. It went so fast im still laughing how right they got it. Its a great experience, it feels like the helpdesk is with you all day, always ready to answer instantly. It doesnt matter if their competition is cheaper. I would recomend them to anyone over anything.

Batteries cost significantly higher than tire, it is not an equivalent comparison.

NK is really the odd one there with the hereditary thing and all. Almost all other communist "dictatorships" are really not that different from US style corporations. Basically, organizations staffed by common people jockeying for position. Sometimes climbing the ladder on merit, sometimes politicking but you get the point. Being family with the CEO helps proably as much as being family with the head of the politburo.

And if you think about it, how much of American culture in the 20th century was a result of things that came out of corporate boards?
I think at high speeds you do actually end up optimizing force per press and time spent on a key out of necessity. It's like cycling, where they say "it never gets easier, you just get faster", or in other words, they can do a lot more with the same amount of effort.

Far right is the label you put to degrade Milei. Milei is a libertarian. If that looks to you like "far right" it is your call. For me those are very different things. Apart from this comment: capitalism is free market and low regulations.

By that measure, how capitalist is Argentina? As much as this in the economic freedom index, which could be considered an index of "how capitalist" a country is (position 148): https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking

If this is capitalism...

I do not know what consensus you talk about. Capitalism is low or no regulation and free market. Also, should favor low taxing. Otherwise you have social democracy.

> Anyway, I live in Argentina and you don't. You are wrong.

This is a fallacy of authority, as you can see by the economic freedom index I shared with you. Position 148 next to countries like Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Ecuador... even the communist Laos has a better score in economic freedom!!! I live in Vietnam, Laos is next to where I used to live in Hanoi. If that has more economic freedom than Argentina, Argentina cannot in any way be considered capitalist as such.
Wow. They have super detailed data for the last few years. The report also tells you who has requested the data.

Kind of funny that you aren't supposed to share your salary but your employer does.
I also felt scores were inflated compared to 10fastfingers when I first tried it. Tweak the default settings and it can be a lot more comparable.
Your next metaphor is worse. If a steering system wan an invention/innovation than it deserves ip rights.

I think first thing to be sure is that you're not misinterpreting the intent here. Sometimes random comments that aren't really delivered with bad intent can easily get misinterpreted. Perhaps the manager's boss intention was to help you in some way. It's expected that a really junior person will make bad decisions (maybe not what you're looking to hear here). That's (partly) how we learn. How well do you know this person? (Wasn't clear to me from the above who is "he" and "she", you said your manager and her boss and then you referred to that boss as "he").

If this is not a question of misjudged intent, and probably after trying to clear it up with your immediate manager (but be subtle/diplomatic about it), I would consider my future with that company.

The other thing to note is that us tech managers are notoriously bad at people skills. It's possible both your manager and your manager's boss think you're doing great work most of the time, and say nothing, and just say something when they feel it needs improvement. So on the whole they think highly of you despite your perception that they are critical. Again, a more open talk with your manager, while being a little careful, should help clarify this. This is a good conversation to have after you've accomplished a major goal (like "pretty much done"). Just ask for feedback in a neutral way, don't accuse anyone of anything... If you get great feedback, it's a good time to ask for a raise or a bonus if you feel you deserve that! If you're not having these conversations it's really hard to gauge what people are really thinking...

Good luck!

The original argument is that the "communist strategy" for handling the pandemic doesn't work and that they are faking the statistics.

Beyond that, given the fact that both of them used very similar tactics, we would expect similar results.

I'd argue that even in the horrific example of the Great Leap Forward, Mao and those who went with him mostly succeeded with their personal goals and ensured all kinds of long-term benefits to themselves granted by a higher social status in the party, while those who went against him and had better plans failed in all their goals, often starting with the primary goal of immediate survival. In this scenario having the better plan was not useful, and trying to execute it was not rational as it only hurt your interests.

Using your example of Galileo, his effectiveness in propagating his science was severely limited by a scientifically irrelevant feud with church officials. Had he been more politically savvy, he would have been able to avoid tying the scientific issues with the personal conflict, and would not have provoked the church into this conflict - IMHO what we have in historical evidence indicates that it was perfectly plausible for him to get the church to support his position, which would have supported both his personal interests and the general progress of science, but he failed at that due to his personal qualities w.r.t. social aspects.

It really does seem like the self driving problem becomes so much easier when you remove variables. Something like an HOV lane would be perfect for self driving. You could put sensors under the road bed to stay in lane even without visual feedback. You could limit it to self driving vehicles pretty easily too compared to a surface street, where you have to account for probably an order of magnitude more variance in conditions.
My one quibble with this example -I sincerely hope there was feedback given the entire duration of those six months. Being told far after the fact that you are doing X thing poorly is a kick to the self-esteem.

For sure, there are some businesses out there that do do it right and have your info ready to go based on called ID.

But you have 99% of businesses that do not even offer a call back system, including the government. In 2021, if you do not offer call back systems or email, then it can be assumed you are intentionally being hostile to customers who need help.

GiroCard can work around that, by transferring metadata for pre-authorized ampunts of money to the card and attaching cryptographically signed certificates proving the existence of funds to transactions.

"don't see much"
> The laws were drafted, in large part, to help close the gender pay gap.

HIRED’s annual recruiting reports found that a significant driver of this were
candidates asking for far lower than other peers. Many times,
companies would then offer that candidate a greater salary, which was still below the bolder or more comfortable peer. The candidate feels like their company is doing them a favor.

So, this aspect should illuminate that many people are not aware that their own company is contributing to pay gaps. Any individual may in fact think the opposite, that it must be some other company with the proverbial bigoted shadow men in a board room disenfranchising everyone that doesn't look like them. When that picture isn't whats happening or isn't necessary, when candidates exacerbate this on their own.

Could it be that the candidate has experience being turned down when asking higher rates? Perhaps.

Could it be that the company doesnt even realize that they arent getting a deal with the candidate, but really just exacerbating pay gaps? That the candidates asking lower may be disproportionately certain genders and ethnicities?

New York City is reducing this to anti-discrimination, making the penalties inherit discrimination frameworks without regard to the circumstances leading up to it. I think thats a great remedy, given how opaque and nuanced the reality really has been.

We don't need to tweak candidate behavior or gradually retrain companies to notice gender and race to conditionally adjust, instead just make the salaries apparent for all.

> I am always surprised, though at this point I shouldn’t be, that there is always pushback against any attempts at improving the status quo when it comes to typing speeds on HN - as though the creator is attacking all of us with lower typing speeds personally…

I don't think it's a general attack because people are personally offended; most of the criticism right now seems to be that the headline claim is materially untrue. Rejecting snake oil is healthy and reasonable even if there's value to be found.

Edit: Perhaps more succinctly, people aren't pushing back against improvements, they're pushing back on deceptive claims.

> Riots are over LPG prices... not the same as the natgas used for power generation

...think very carefully and very slowly about the following question: so what?

(The answer to that question will betray a wild misunderstanding of the political economy of Kazakhstan.)

> Not every energy crisis in the wolrd is caused by Bitcoin

Hm. I don't remember saying otherwise. I must have stuttered?

> which literally uses less energy than gamers or heated pools.

Globally. In Kazakhstan it consumes 8% of production, which is insane. 8% is a fucking huge number in a country experiencing an energy crisis.

Hell, it's a huge number period. By percentage comparison, that's all refrigeration and freezing in the US. Can you imagine? Insane.

Anyways, this is all beside the point. I'll avoid stuttering this time and repeat myself clearly and slowly this time:

>> But, whatever. Suppose I concede this point that coal consumption doesn't really have much of anything at all to do Kazahktan's current unrest. Doesn't that make nalrey's comment here totally moot?
Changing companies to become promoted starts petering out once you reach sr and if you want to become a manager, your often not hired as a manager directly without any previous management experience.
Exactly. Seems no one liked my comment. I know we're supposed to be serious on HN but this was a dumb post anyways.
Yes, that is what I meant. I could have clarified.
By the same logic, doesn't accepting USD amount to supporting the US government and its actions around the world?

Often that does happen in the short term, although in this particular case, it led to Mao losing control of the Party for six years and arguably delayed Mainland China's economic boom by 20 years. Certainly many of the people who tried to resist the Great Leap Forward died as a result, but so did many of the people who most enthusiastically practiced it.

I don't think a Galileo who spent much of his time acquiring political savvy and currying allies would have been able to make the progress he did make. Such a Galileo might have simply decided not to believe what he saw through the telescope, or to keep quiet about it. The Church had already burned Giordano Bruno at the stake for possessing the writings of Erasmus, and there are many other such stories: Bach was imprisoned for refusing to resign from his Kapellmeister post; Swartz committed suicide to escape imprisonment for downloading too many academic papers; Turing committed suicide to escape persecution for being openly gay; Newton lived to a ripe old age but certainly had a life full of interpersonal conflict; Champollion deciphered the hieroglyphs while awaiting trial for treason.

Fundamentally, rationality is insubordinate, and social graces frequently demand dishonesty, so that those who most love the truth are never those who get along best with others.

And those are my heroes, not Donald Trump or Mao Zedong.

Domain names are very, very useful. But with regard to activitypub, if a server wants to change its name the federation and social graph is broken entirely. Even if your server goes down and needs to be rebuilt, federation gets broken due to this design decision, because other servers don't know you're offline and new status messages get lost.

It is a brittle point of failure in activitypub.

I've been involved with endurance athletics the last few years. Triathlons but also the things that go into it separately (running, swimming, biking, etc.)

There's kind of a genre of posts that show up on triathlon forums that roughly fall into the category of "I'm a dedicated triathlete who does X impressive triathlons every year with good times and I just had a heart attack." Sometimes there's a variant of this along the lines of the OP: "I suddenly started feeling winded and didn't feel right so I got checked and they rolled me into the OR immediately."

Inevitably everyone on the forum is terrified, wondering how such a thing could happen that someone could be at the pinnacle of aerobic health, and then suddenly collapse with a serious cardiovascular problem. Then everyone realizes this is a recurring theme, there's a discussion of whether triathletes are at greater or lesser risk for cardiovascular problems, and people usually end up with some rough consensus that exercise is actually good. Then finally everyone starts talking about how to identify problems before they get too bad.

The conclusion is usually that it's impossible to just tell without preventative screening. That is, the best thing to do is to go get checkups. Get stress tests etc. proactively. Get physicals and so forth and so on. Not that you should be a hypochondriac, but you need medical testing and screening, not monitoring of symptoms.

I'm probably as guilty of not doing regular screenings as anyone, but maybe that should change.

I interviewed at a startup years ago that did a similar thing. They set up a half-ass web site to screen candidates with their hastily implemented lisp. I easily did all the screening questions and also wrote a detailed critique of their language (it was lacking a lot of basic things like a reliable way to check for equality). The whole thing felt like a pet project.
Did I? If I did ... sigh. But I'm not convinced! But I also wouldn't be surprised :)
It's HN comment sections this one that make me really sad.

Like, there's nothing actually wrong with anything the author said or did, but a lot of what I'm reading here is just snark. I can even tell just how little of it many of us actually read, seeing as how he's admitting to privilege yet some know-it-alls still need to point out privilege as if that invalidates the whole thing. You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, which is why the whole issue of privilege is a bullshit waste of time.
