If you are interested in learning more about the role, please send me an email at christian|?|karat|?|com

Cheers! I look forward to hearing from you :-)
I don't think that what to all practicality amounts to a tax on basic documentation for web technology would be a great thing or even a good idea. This would finally put an end to the Web as it was conceived.

(Yes, I walk every day, but this doesn't mean that I would welcome feet as a subscription service with the poor damned to crawling.)
It would make filtering listings much easier, granted the long tail issue here is associating an expectation of velocity / experience with a salary range.
Yes, but you probably aren't Putin, you probably aren't Russian and you are probably powerless in a geostrategical or any other meaningfull sense.
Like most people on this planet.
Which makes a big difference for thinking.

And as I have already indicated, a method to madness implies above all .... Madness.
And a system that selects a certain amount of madness as a means to national power.
His frame of reference is obviously quite different from yours.
And so, probably, is that of his close environment in Russia's power apparatus.
That means, they could have stopped this beforehand if they wouldn't have the same method of thinking.

Beside, that 'Escalate to De-Escalate' thing which Putin may have introduced into the Russian discussion of its nuclear doctrine, involves the use, not just the threat,of a tactical nuclear weapon to stop an escalation of conventional war or if things go too badly.
Just small enough that the Russian apparatus does not believe in nuclear retaliation by other nations.
A surprisingly last-minute test of a small tactical nuclear bomb, that sort of thing.
Or one in the atmosphere above the baltic sea, who knows.

This concept does not even require an immediate threat to Russian territory from enemy forces, i.e., their invasion.
Which is their official doctrin for the use of nuclear weapons.

In short, it doesn't matter what you think, nor what I think.
It matters what Putin and his cronies think.
And obviously, nobody really knows what they think or are capable of.
And what they even care to consider as a reality.
One more thing: "put your money where your mouth is".

Bug bounties work, why wouldn't "feature bounties" also work?

You say you want those features, preferably bug-free, for this deadline. And there's $5K for the team if the objectives are met.

Then, your metrics problem boils down to how to impartially measure customer satisfaction, or how well the objectives are met (in some contexts, bugs are unavoidable etc.).

Metrics can still be important to help the team identify their problems (or rather, confirm that their intuitions about the problem). It's an optimization problem: measure first, then do something about the actual bottlenecks.

That said, some programmers are such nerds that more money is not the highest motivation. One can use some creativity here.
I hate it. It is way less readable than previous one. It feels like another good thing bitten by "modern designers" who favour minimalism over usability.

Old design has more contrast, headings, links, warnings e.g. all distinct elements have a distinct visual style. Now, every element on the page looks same or as much similar as possible. They couldn't find anything better to do.
Congrats on the HN launch GrowthBook team! Love what you guys are building!
i eat them bc i dont want to gave to take unregulated supplements to make up for nutrtional deficiencies you wouldnt have if you just ate meat.

i belive in striking a balance between the fact that we want to minimize suffering and the reality that existing implies devouring and consumption. these last two things will not only induce suffering to animals but also to other humans.

and its unaviodable. and im not giving myself further neuroticism and anxiety bc i put the weight of the globe and its myriad of problems onto my shoulders which already burden enough selfishly and empathetic ally.

i eat for health.

period. I have a family to take care of. My health isn't just necessary bc I want my own life but bc people depend on me.

and the science isnt settled between vegetarianism and being an omnivore.

not by a long shot.

i will concede those in the west eat too much meat.

so ill extend the olive branch and meet you half way.

but i put my health above that of chickens, fish and the occassional cow.

i feel for them but theyre not people. i barely am capable of processing the horrors that happen to people on this earth.

i dont have room to consider everything that breathes.

Your moral finger wagging, BTW, isn't a way to win hearts and minds. People will just double down as a rebellion against your moral superiority complex. Youre kicking the legs out of your own political cause with your self righteousness

People who talk like this are why redneck "roll coal" as opposed to adopting hybrids and EVs..

Meet people half way.

This was a discussion about health and lifespan and like clockwork here you people come.
Successful ones?

None, that I know of.

Unsuccessful ones, though...pretty much every single one that I've ever met.

Story time:

I have a couple of friends that are quite rich. They run an apparel company, but a "white-label" one. You've probably worn clothes by them, but never knew it.

The "creativity" behind the company, is the wife. She's pretty awesome. But her husband is a very sharp businessman. Really humble, and low-key, but woe be unto anyone that tries to pull a fast one on him.

Without her, he would be nothing, but without him, she would probably still be in a small, windowless, room, in some Manhattan building, helping someone else get rich.
> Russia should no longer be allowed to communicate with or influence the global community.

The West does not get to control who Asian and African countries can and cannot communicate with. It does not own the internet. If it claims that it has that right and that it will unilaterally enforce it, we are looking at a fundamental breakdown of international relations.

Imperialism by white powers will no longer be tolerated.
You cleverly avoided the topic "scientific consensus" by changing the discussion to "science" as a broader (oddly undefinable) concept.

Don't you think it's a risky argument to present something as black and white as facts (science is supposed to be based on them almost exclusively in some areas) as merely a concept of group imagination?

Assuming there is no psychological perspective to be argued, surely a factual, provable definition can be at least attempted? In the spirit of science perhaps?

(edit: phrasing)
bang
Next!
Which is dumb. If you're hiring remotely and a small company, pay for the role not the candidates address. Want to save money? Then offer a lower salary but still get insane talent from Asia. Want to get some of the most insane candidates from Europe? Offer Bay Area rates and get top-tier PhDs with 20 years industry experience applying for your $130k role.
It makes me shake my head to see people think of the world as black and white. Rarely does the overthrower act better than the despot. If he is American-supported, we will just stop hearing bad things about him. I've seen the pattern play out way too many times.

Not Putin supporter ofc.
> So what about that? I ignored it. The climate is warming at a dangerous rate for human civilization and focusing non-core one liners is a distraction from the real issue.

A lot of people won't ignore that statement; they will latch onto it and it will blind them to the rest of what is being said.

Politicians will point to that statement to make climate change look like a fake left-wing issue that is using the climate as a trojan horse for wokeism. That's already happening to some extent; the last thing scientists should do is give more ammo to the people making those arguments.

I have an old iPad Air that I don’t link to my main Apple ID. It has no apps except for the minimum needed to function as an ebook reader and scratchpad.

It’s pretty distraction free. I would say if you’re willing to run your tablet under its potential it’s possible to have a quiet device.

I ordered a Remarkable 2 but canceled once I realized I had an old iPad lying around. It works for me.

The focus on antibody levels is just bizarre and unscientific. That doesn't really tell us much about how immunity holds up over time, so it's disappointing to see this type of article published by the NIH. What matters more over the long term is cellular immunity.

I guess it depends very strongly whether the startup needs that experience or not.

And to be honest, the kind of experience that someone who worked 15 years as a developer brings to the table is probably not going to be the kind of experience that makes or breaks a startup. Experienced devs can bring much more value at later stage companies, where they can focus on the thing they are good at, rather than at an early stage startup where the founders have a million different responsibilities.

> Even a small company - or especially one - will certainly have a ballpark range in mind for what's possible. Even if a wide one, they could offer quick guidance with something like: Looking for help! CTO / VP ($100-$150k), Developers / PMs ($80-120k).

In the tech startups I've worked for, we did not actually have fixed, pre-approved salary ranges like that. Startups tend to gather a wide range of talent from recent grads through ex-FAANG employees and you need to be prepared to rise to whatever level is necessary to hire whoever comes through your application process.

But the real problem is that requiring specific positions and specific job postings changes the thread from something where anyone can invite people to apply to something that is essentially an extension of their company's HR department.

> Even if a wide one, they could offer quick guidance with something like: Looking for help! CTO / VP ($100-$150k), Developers / PMs ($80-120k).

You may think those ranges are wide, but they don't even come close to the variation we got at startups. When you're hiring developers straight out of college and also straight out of FAANG companies your compensation range from low to high can extend to a 5X difference or more.
Fair 'nuff. I appreciate the correction, and will use it correctly, henceforth.

Thanks!

Awk in Java with JBang
You overestimate the number of decisions people make consciously and underestimate how much people are simply responding to their environment and taking the path of least resistance.

“Decreased consumption” only means less resource utilization in this instance, it doesn’t mean that people are necessarily materially worse off.

An obvious and example would be efforts to expand awareness about the longevity and repairability of consumer electronics. Many people don’t want to continually throw things away when they break.
Perhaps, my current opinion is: Many people don't care enough about politics at all to consider it a factor and maybe that changes with the situation in Ukraine but I'm not convinced. Will politicians put pressure on the companies, maybe more likely. In which case you are still right.
To be honest, I'd likely get one if I could read my work emails, check my calendar and keep myself up-to-date through my RSS feeds natively from it.

I made the mistake of paying myself too much after fundraising round and then too little in order to extend runway. Nothing is more stressful when you have less than three months of runway left and you have absolutely no saving and have a family and mortgage.

For my next startup, I will try to bootstrap as much as I can first, and then pay myself a livable salary so that I'm not distracted by looking for others sources of income / radically downgrading my lifestyle.
Worth highlighting that they describe it as coordinated activity, ie not random.

> studying electrical activity in certain arbitrary frequency bands doesn't tell us a lot about the brain

That might be true for now given our limited understanding. But would you really bet against this in the long run? Moreover, the article outlines considerable evidence that such coordination and frequencies have been empirically associated with conscious perception.

> Subjective descriptions of this phenomenon are described as intense and surreal and include a panoramic life review with memory recalls, transcendental and out-of-body experiences with dreaming, hallucinations and a meditative state

Finally, given the large body of anecdata and subjective evidence, don't you think it's a bit dismissive to suggest that the brain's capacitors are simply sputtering out?
I'm hiring for a very small startup, and this is 100% correct for us. The exact position isn't even super defined. If I had to add salary, I just wouldn't do it, because I know that saying something like 80k to 150k depending on experience/ability would invite criticism from people who would immediately assume that I'm trying to dodge the requirement with a big range, and I don't want to deal with that.

> so silently with so little fanfare

lol, were you around when this was going on? People were absolutely losing their shit about bcash. This post really takes me back to that honestly.

> And so it has been with BTC, it was turned from decentralised currency to disintermediate central banks to a shitty, low quality, captured centralised settlement layer for those exact same central banks, and all the while it mostly kept the public relations layer from the original project, and most people still claim that's why they're interested in it, screaming calves in the abattoirs or not.

We are not going to agree on that point. Consensus disagreed with you here, so I'm not sure what exactly you want to happen. Any system, not just a cryptocurrency, has the potential to split off from your specific viewpoints at any time. In this case it did, so what remediation do you want beyond the ability to sell out of the currency?

> The core point is they hold absolute power over BTC

Who is "they"? If you mean tiny group of developers I disagree. If you mean the developers + users + exchanges + merchants then yes, you are right. They reached a consensus and you are in the minority.
> Violating the law is not a concern. You can simply put $50k/year to $1B/year and you comply with the law.

Right! Which is completely useless and would just clutter the thread.
What scares the hell out of me, it would be so easy to backdoor an implementation of the open core in a well-hidden way.

Whereas the "big" CPU providers are staking their reputation and therefore future business on providing a non-backdoored CPU, it would be fairly trivial for an individual device manufacturer to provide a backdoored CPU design for their chip design.

It could become the whole cheap-device OEM firmware situation all over again (as we saw with many backdoored routers), but this time the blob is located on-die, so is significantly harder to reverse engineer or audit.
Why should any company follow the law of Colorado?

If you want to do business there (and make no mistake, HN is a part of YC's business), you have to follow their rules.

Not enough. You'd get paid as much, if not more, to go work setting up telecom infrastructure for the US in Iraq or Afghanistan, or, well, the modern Taliban [1] (which, unlike ISIS, is not actively trying to be an at-war-with-the-world pariah state). And while you might certainly be killed or injured by a mortar attack, or an IED, or by gunfire, or a suicide bomber at the market, or any of the other ways bad things can happen to you in an active warzone, at least the people you were working for were unlikely to kidnap you.

Total market value of BTC surpasses value of total circulating supply of Ruble
I grew up without running water, electricity or heat in the 90s. I've had to read by candlelight, breathed kerosene fumes indoors to stay warm and burned old newspapers to climb up to the 10th floor apartment where we lived in complete darkness. I know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's pure hypocrisy that you want the other side to suffer now, but you want to roll off your reliance on Gazprom on a timescale of a decade as to not be inconvenienced.
You just listed a bunch of wishes, not things that can actually pass today… that’s the problem I’m pointing out.
It's not impossible to say "Positions vary from $20k to $600k, DOE." for these cases, if you really are hiring your new CTO and also a janitor. The nice thing about having to put _some_ kind of range is that there is some the poster will have to choose whether or not to reveal they _might_ pay well. And there are balanced incentives to go either direction. If you post low, you miss out on talent, and if you post high you have to convince every noob that might be useful they aren't worth $1M/yr. But having to decide that balance is useful.
