> It’s such a VC perspective

Ideas don't execute themselves. Problems are everywhere and ideas are a dime a dozen. Reddit is full of armchair generals. Companies are ultimately run by people. They live and die by whether the people running the company can build a solution, sell a solution, recruit people to expand the solution, and keep the people they have come to depend upon. Everything else - even money - is secondary.
Fair enough.

There definitely can be and often is bias everywhere since people tend to gravitate towards others who are similar to them (i.e. young people might be biased to hire young, old people old, etc.) I can't imagine any reasonable team to take on somebody based on their CV alone though, you're almost guaranteed to hire somebody who doesn't match their own description. I've seen a couple first hand myself.

As I replied to you on the other comment, if you personally have enough options, it's actually better to let some crap companies to have subpar interview processes so that you can detect and avoid them before you take the offer. Pointing out subconscious/unintentional bias is useful though, everyone is better off.

> All things that could be alleviated if "Crypto" and it's so-far intangible benefits were to dissapear.

This is pretty shallow thinking. I’m sure the traditional banking system uses orders of magnitude more energy than crypto, but you don’t hear about that cause the “studies” about crypto energy use are funded by people who benefit from maintaining the status quo. In fact, you will notice most of the studies critical of Bitcoin focus on how much ENERGY it uses as opposed to its fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions. This is likely intentional.

Big tech companies like Facebook and Twitter probably use more energy than Bitcoin too, and it is debatable how much of what they do actually creates value in the world.

The U.S. military is one of the largest polluters in the world, and Congress nearly unanimously gives them hundreds of billions of dollars every year with very little debate or scrutiny or oversight.

The waste of natural resources and energy will not disappear just because crypto goes away. If anything, crypto will actually help SOLVE the problem sooner by creating real economic incentives to use cheaper and cleaner energy. Some estimates say that over 60% of Bitcoin mining now uses renewable energy, and it is trending in the right direction [1].

> So far no-one has been able to point me at a single thing that public public blockchains do that either is worth doing and is only possible using blockchain tech

“Worth doing” is subjective so that’s a non sequitur, but I will give you something blockchains do that is only possible using blockchain tech: they allow control over the supply of money without a central authority. Separation of money and state, if you will. Some may scoff at this idea, but currency debasement has contributed to the collapse of many empires and governments in history [2] so the importance of this invention should not be understated.

I'd say it just as you did but with "algebraic data types" instead of "enums".
You're not doing very well on the not talking about it...
Congratulations, you all just suggested re-inventing Deis workflow (with a few additional pieces) :)

There are a lot of elements indeed, https://docs.teamhephy.com/understanding-workflow/components...

It is much easier to just use it than to try and re-invent your own: https://docs.teamhephy.com/quickstart/

I cannot guarantee the cloud provider bits all work, I don't use them so I don't maintain them, but if you have Kubernetes with persistent disk provided, which any managed Kubernetes can most certainly do, it's easy enough to hook up generic Minio (which has the added benefit of working just as well on bare metal hosts), and I'm certain that does work as I use it.

You should stop broadcasting your lack of understanding of the situation. Respond to the parts of my previous comment that address this instead of repeating yourself please.
The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of many superconducting materials increases as the pressure applied to the material is increased, so I guess the idea is to make the ambient pressure high enough that Tc is below the ambient temperature.

My instinctual reaction (as a physicist studying superconductors, but with no expert knowledge of geophysics) is that this won't work for most (possibly all) materials, because (a) the maximum Tc under high pressure is still generally less than ~ room temperature, (b) the ambient temperature increases with depth below the earth's surface.
It takes 3 seconds to check and prove that you are wrong about this case.
You're lucky you even had a web dev course. When I went there wasn't anything related to that. Your choices were C, Visual Basic, and/or Java. And I don't think any of the professors had even heard of source control. This was in the 2000s, after the dot-com boom, so it's not like the internet was something new.

But classes were all focused on academic stuff, nothing pragmatic or realistic. For one of my exercises I asked the professor how to hook in and validate the input, and he said "Oh, we don't cover that. That's higher-level 3rd or 4th year stuff. It's ok if your program just crashes if given invalid data."

I had learned the importance of validating input very early on in teaching myself GW-BASIC and Turbo Pascal several years before college. But in the academic world, that was just considered a trivial detail, not important. You could get a degree without ever even learning to validate input.

Which explains a lot about the state of modern software.
And then WOPR got shut down proving that for WOPR itself the winning strategy was to attack, since at that point he would have been critical for months to years afterwards.

Perhaps even better would be to convince half of the military attacking was the winning strategy and half that not playing is the winning strategy would be even better, but also much harder.

For humanity, perhaps not playing is optimal. For WOPR, definitely not. Same goes for a lot of military careers.

Similar statements in more recent fillings have all come with similar disclaimers to the best of my knowledge.
If we find that private jet use negatively impacts the price of or access to commercial airfare for the 99.9% (e.g. if we discover that commercial airports are congested by private corporate traffic, or that private airplanes are getting unfairly preferential access to scarce parts such that commercial airlines can't repair their planes), then yes: we should consider regulating and in some cases preventing private jet use.

In other words, the metaphor is bad.

Extremely Understated summary answer (to the first question), from the article:

PoW (ie mining) is not something inherent to cryptocurrencies. We should try to get rid of PoW and move all coins to non energy wasting systems (such as PoS).

Or, in the name of safety, mobile satellites in low earth orbit armed with hard tungsten rods, accelerated by temporarily generated black holes to relativistic velocities for prompt global strikes on time sensitive targets. Could make for a good movie.
hey, there are you familiar with "notion web clipper" - as I think it has the same concept. I've been using this for a while now and it's great.
That's a different thing.

Your original claim is that managers are less competent because they didn't get interviewed as managers when they got promoted. The chain of replies was an attempt to refute that.

If your claim is that (for some companies) managers are less competent because that's how it has been forever, then the sample logic can apply to engineers in the company. It's not that I dispute the conclusion, but the reasoning doesn't hold because it doesn't differentiate the two cases.
ITT one step away from "IQ is correlated to genetics (and also your race)"
Articles like this show up on HN a couple times a year, and it's about the only time I think about this. I don't think my brain is particularly abnormal, but the concept of closing my eyes and seeing something is so foreign to me that I can scarcely believe it's the norm. It makes me want to go do an fMRI (or whatever) study to see if my visual cortex has any activity when I try to imagine things. I used to feel like I was being overly-pedantic about the phenomenon, but the more I read articles like this, the more convinced I am that I have aphantasia.

I can navigate fine. I can't draw well, but I could roughly draw a map of my house or neighborhood. I'd do so by starting with one specific point (say the front door of my house) and sort of incrementally thinking about what's adjacent to it as I might pan my field of view around. Move into the kitchen and it's "ok, there's the fridge, and next to that is the counter, and there's a coffee maker, and next to that is the stove". I know the fridge is stainless steel, the counter is marble, the stove is black, it has four knobs, there's more counter, then the sink, etc. But I don't think I "see" or "visualize" any of that. I certainly don't visualize colors or reflections. My car has two different colors (blue and grey Honda Element), but despite looking at it many times a day, I couldn't tell you in much detail which parts are which colors.

I'm still not 100% sure if I'm misunderstanding what it means to "picture" something, but the more I read about aphantasia the more convinced I am that I have it. The idea of visualizing something is completely foreign to me. Even simple shapes. If you say "picture a triangle" I don't feel like I "see" anything, even though I can explain what a triangle is and draw one.
Who would struggle to be smart in a society that rewards idiocy and blind alignment to asinine political discourses, a society where the loudest opinion is the only one that matters. Enjoy the permanent state of frustration that being "smart" or "rational" will bring you.

Most politicians are exasperatingly dumb, most celebrities are witless mannequins and the richest man in the world is a simple minded moron that acts like a 16yo in the middle of a sugar rush. Don't blame the youth for not wanting to be "smart" when they can see that plenty of mediocre adult content creators can earn more in a week than your average office worker in a month and when their role models are dudes vlogging about getting rich gambling on JPG monkeys and shilling for crypto rug pulls.
Fire isn’t the hazard we need to be concerned about for Lithium-ion, it’s the destructive mining and the subsequent hazmat disposal that should be worrying everyone. The lithium mining companies are filing claims all over my county and the proposed large scale excavation of extremely sensitive desert dry lake habitats is just disgusting. I’m no fan of oil, but at least there you drill a hole and not remove a few cubic miles of the earth. Seeing the battery lifecycle up close has left me depressed about our options…

It's not FUD. Emergency responders and wrecking yards have already had problems with EV fires. An EV wreck with a damaged battery can catch fire days or weeks later. They have be stored with extra room around them just in case. Battery fires are a whole different thing than gas fires. This is a serious issue.
The American Dietetic Association says “ It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.”

Which doesn’t seem to be in alignment with your comment.

Then look at the numbers, besides speculation, which isn't really a "use case", that vast majority of cryptocurrency transactions are ransomware, coin washing, illegal purchases and currency control evasion.

What an extreme red herring? Even the most private cryptocurrencies are less private than the cash that such people use today for such transactions.

It's really interesting to me that you aren't getting more in trouble with this just due to salary alone. I know Netflix follows your approach and I think it's fabulous. However, Netflix also doesn't have paybands and their strategy is to see the other offers as the candidate's true market value and then pay them slightly above that. If you cannot do that, I would have assumed this to be a certain way to lose your top employees quickly.

It's hard to measure as those stats are for those who are newly coming and most undocumented immigrants have been here more than 10+ years, also many go under the radar.

The portion of property taxes that tax the land tax it at its market price though. And we know from economics that the market price is set based on the best economic use. So the entirety of your disagreement seems to be “we also tax buildings” not that the portion of the tax on land doesn’t work the way I said.

What you do with your labour is a strong right that is deeply connected to bodily autonomy. Bodily autonomy rights come from nature and shouldn’t be violated by society.

What you do with your land is a weak right that is socially constructed and depends on the society that defined the rules under which land acquisition made sense.

There is a stronger moral basis for taxing land than there is for taxing labour. There is also a stronger moral basis for restricting land use than for restricting labour. Despite your efforts to paint them as the same, these two things are in fact very different.
What's the point of shipping a project that can't be hosted?
I certainly think that "man I wish I randomly was a megamillionaire" motivates some people. I definitely wish I bought and held a bunch of BTC back in like 2012 or whatever.

But for me this is comparable to other forms of economic criticism. I believe that the path that cryptocurrency and related systems is walking leads to an extreme hypercapitalism where everything on the planet becomes an item for speculation and no behavior is possible without access to some capitalized token. A lot of people will get rich off that process but the reason why I think that this is bad is not because other people get rich off of it. I think it is a harmful system whether or not I get to buy a yacht.
The question as it stands makes a few assumptions I don't think one can make, and as such is a bit tricky to answer cleanly, but I'll try.

Yes it's just called linking. The language needs to be aware of calling conventions and perhaps side effects and be prepared for no additional intrinsic support for higher level features.

It probably also needs to be able to read C headers, because C symbols do not contain type signatures like many C++ compilers add.

There's no "library" or some out of the box solution for this, if that's what you're asking. This boils down to how programs are constructed and, moreso, how CPUs work.

In most (all?) cases, anything higher level than straight-up linking is headed toward FFI territory.

The answer is to regulate battery standards and internal input jacks.

The overwhelming majority of people don't need more than 50 miles range the overwhelming majority of the time. The problem would be solved if you could just put your house battery or a rented one in the boot for that rare long trip.

Additionally make all vehicles on the road slower, smaller, and lighter so you can safely drive something that more closely resembles a velomobile than an SUV and safely drive anywhere at 80km/h rather than having 100km/h as the minimum.

1C or 0.5C is completely fine, nothing needs to do 0-100km/h in under 20s, and as long as it can do around 15m/s up a 10% hill it has enough power.
surely the law of conservation applies, in that it would be more efficient to take the energy used to generate the black hole and apply it directly to launching the projectile instead?
