dude. how can you stand an ad in 2022? i have been using ublock origin everywhere since it was released, abp before that. i have a pi-hole at home. on my android i often use apps like blokada.

the other day i had visited a friend at home and their tv was at full blast. the ads felt really jarring/irritating/obnoxious to a point i requested them to just turn the tv off.

then another day i saw a coworker on his laptop, edge opened on homepage with big 2000's style banner ads, sidebar ads, full page ads and they were just keeping the page open because "eh, dont care".

try to use ublock origin on your browser for a week and then the next week without it.

> I'm rather mistrustful of people that are this forthy about being against a new technology.

I believe this top comment reveals the real reason why many technologists actually hate cryptocurrency: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31356579#31356857
Some of it is because so much of the space is just naked scams.

And then the stuff that isn't overtly a scam tends not to make a lot of sense. Bitcoin is a wasteful way to do what it does, and things like that.

> I'm rather mistrustful of people that are this forthy about being against a new technology.

I don't really give a crap about what people do or don't do with new technology, ultimately what people want to spend their time and money on is up to them.

However, "Crypto" is different. If all it was was just the unbelievably irritating crypto bros rug pulling, ponzi scheming, wash trading, ugly NFT shilling and hacking all the while claiming to be at the spearhead of a solution to pretty much every human problem in existence then so be it. I would be capable of ignoring it. I would read a different article, do some work or go for a walk, ignored, done.

But "Crypto" (specifically the energy intensive kind) has a different problem, and that's that it has /massive/ externalities that it simply ignores, forcing us, the people who want nothing to do with it, to now deal with it, and with the people in the ecosystem that we find so objectionable. We are dealing with the significant fallout from their hobbies. We are in the middle of 1) a very serious climate crisis 2) a cost of living crisis where people can't afford energy to cook and heat (in the UK at least) and 3) a war that would likely be brought to a stop sooner if we could phase out Russian gas sooner.

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

That is why I hate "Crypto", that's why I call people out about it, why I'm "frothy".

> Not efficient? Well neither was the Ford model T. Newer generations are getting better.

The Model T allowed people to do something that previously hadn't been done before. 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, or is better (more power efficient, faster) than using pre-existing technology.

If people can point me at some of these things then we can at least start having a discussion about wether it's worth spending an entire country's worth of electricity on it.

It’s always the same thing with the Pro-Russian arguments : it’s all or nothing. Never any space for nuance. Russia must be winning, one Western leader made one query implying trouble for the Ukrainians.

Funnily enough, I have a few vaguely 'libertarian' (in a UK-sense) friends who don't see that if everyone broke societal 'politenesess'/manners as they do, ekeing a small personal advantage, then everything goes to shit.

People forget that most manners were purely an invention of post-medieval society, not some naturally-inherent instinct.

> I’m speculating about the reasons for the disproportionate level of ire directed against crypto on this forum

I don't personally know any people who became rich on cryptocurrencies and also don't feel any particular envy towards the people who I know of, via the internet, but am pretty vehemently against cryptocurrencies, so I'm a sample-size one counter-example to your thesis.

I obviously don't think that my ire against cryptocurrencies is disproportionate, since if I did, I'd scale it down until I thought it was proportionate, so I think that it's justified by the object-level issues.

If I were to speculate on why classes of people like me are more strongly opposed to cryptocurrencies than other people:

1. We are (or feel we are) more qualified to see many of its technical deficiencies, some of which have been patched over the years, others of which seem fundamental.

2. We agree with the "crypto people" on many topics, such as decentralisation or privacy, but think that their solutions are broken, and worse we feel that their philosophy and approach is a bit of a dark mirror universe of ours (to exaggerate _immensely_ imagine that both groups were religious people who agreed completely on matters of scripture, but they inexplicably decided to worship Ahriman instead of Ahura Mazda).

I'd say it's already relevant. From an article last week [0], location data identifying visits to Planned Parenthood was easily purchasable. While this particular company removed that category in response to the article [1], there's nothing that would prevent other data brokers from selling the same information. The US is far, far overdue for a GDPR-style privacy law.

(Also, we need a better term than "data brokers", as that term is biased toward their legitimacy. "Digital stalkers" or "stalkers for hire" imply that the stalking occurs after the point of hire, rather than being proactively performed on everybody. "Privacy abusers" is accurate, but non-specific. I don't have a term that would encompass the omnipresent spying, the danger of a dataset's existence against future threats, and the low price they put on our privacy. Bonus points if the term could call out the false dichotomy of public vs private.)

Edit: That said, advocating for privacy is not advocating for cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies are by design massively inefficient, in the same way that a low-trust society is inefficient, and somehow touts that as a virtue.
> The people certain it'll be a disaster seem just as silly...

I'm not certain, unfortunately. But I'm hoping.
Ideally you would be able to have an extension that says “hey, I’m on example.com/page and I’m not going to load ads. That all you get to know to pay out a portion of my subscription to the website operator”. The issue with this is that Google typically doesn’t have an exclusivity agreement with websites, and header bidding is quite prevalent, so it doesn’t make sense for Google to allow people to pay to remove Google ads if they’re just going to get out-header-bid anyways when someone comes along with Google Premium+no ad blocker and suddenly the website is showing ads from another ad network instead, leading the user to think Google Premium doesn’t work.

And I don’t think most people would buy a Premium offering if all it did was remove results in Google Search; the only people that helps is Google and most people can easily scroll past those even without Adblock.

Not sure if either or both of you are lumping the article author in as “modern tech people.”

From the article:

> I think this combination would bring speed back, in a huge way. You could get a page on the screen in a fraction of the time of the web. The memory consumption could be tiny. It would be incredibly accessible, by default. You could make great-looking default stylesheets and share alternative user stylesheets. With dramatically limited scope, you could port it to all kinds of devices.

And:

> Russia should have taken all of Ukraine by now

The idea that conquering another nation through military means should be quick seems to come out from time to time (not just for this war). I wonder if that has ever happened.
I had this same problem. You really should just try different things until something works for you.

For me, I'm doing 1 meal a day. I love it. I spend less time figuring out what to eat, cooking and doing dishes.

I start my day with coffee and about half the time a cold coffee at noonish.

My single meal means alot to me and I always prepare something fancy. I usually eat between 5-7pm.

I've lost 1lb a week every week for months. I'm not even working out but I plan to gradually work it in the routine.

It wasn't easy to get to one meal a day... But now that I'm here, it's been extremely easy to keep the routine.

This is just flat-out misinformation! The US currency experienced deflation though much of the late 19th century yet GDP grew faster than nowadays, which clearly falsifies the notion that inflation is "necessary".
I didn't know it existed, thanks. This should be the top comment for the tech-savvy HN crowd.
Thats fair, I tend to approach this problem as the way out is to innovate more. Unless we hit total disaster and civilization collapses there is no way to coordinate humanity to think about net impact at scale. So when I see an electric bike I see it as one possible less car on the road which to me is in the right direction.

> What strong link? AFAICT your first reference says basically everything is unknown.

The link literally says there's a link (as in, we need to investigate, there is some linkage here we don't understand) and it's understudied.

it goes on to say:

>> Research suggests that eating soy products might decrease FSH and LH in people who are premenopausal, which may impact fertility. And it might increase estrogen in people who are menopausal, leading to a reduction in menopausal symptoms. [..] It’s not yet understood how these changes could impact people who menstruate.

Obviously this is affecting hormones

>> Animal studies suggest there may be slight hormonal and reproductive changes in male mice when they are exposed to soy consistently throughout their entire lifetimes

I'm arguing that we shouldn't jump on something until it's understood.

> I think in countries like China and Asia those timelines are almost reversed.

Yes, and China and Asia tends to be lactose intolerant, so what exactly is your point here?

That an Asian persons body has had the time to adapt to Soy does not mean it's safe for westerners immediately, it could be, but it equally could not be.
Can you imagine what would happen when "advertisers" discover they can make money by annoying people? Micro digital muggings will become a thing.
I'm putting things into perspective. Hungary has 136 km shared border with Ukraine, it also represents only 0.25% of the global GDP, and it is a small country of less than 10 million inhabitants that took in 700'000 Ukrainian refugees. It is okay to disagree with some of their positions, but to put blame one them for the current mess is ridiculous. As for ratio of dependence I have no idea how you did measure it, but it was certainly not per capita gas consumption.
It is remarkably obvious if you look at Tryon's experiment[1], and remember the Nature Genetics meta-analysis[2] proving average 49% heritability among all measured human traits.

1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryon%27s_Rat_Experiment

2. https://www.nature.com/articles/ng.3285
The article acknowledges this, and says that the major findings is:

- IQ is not as strongly correlated to parents as believed

- IQ is not negatively correlated with fertility

When an article says "we've found evidence against current accepted knowledge" it is not a counter argument to say "Current accepted knowledge says otherwise, therefore you are wrong!"

But we do need better access to the numbers behind both sides in order to participate in the discussion.

I like the simplicity and how opinionated Go is. There's typically one way to do things and that's incredibly useful.

But lack of real enums for me falls into the "How is this a thing?" bucket.

Like Java introduced what are (IMHO) a pretty good enum almost 20 years ago. Java enums are classes, basically. They can have state and methods. Super-useful.

I like Hack but Hack's enums are a little weird in the sense that you have a bit of an odd syntax to indicate if automatic coercion is allowed.

I like the idea in this post as being better than straight strings or ints but there are still 2 downsides:

1. As a variable (not a constant) it gives the compiler less options on how this can be optimized; and

2. (This is the big one) One of the best things about enums is using them in switch statements such that adding a new value will cause a compiler error (assuming you don't use a default branch, which should be discouraged for this).

Rust enums and match expressions, for example, cover all of this.

All of these things are the result of bad governing, not crypto. Maybe banning crypto would help them (I don’t believe that) but banning lots of other things would also help. What we really need is better energy policy, better foreign policy, and better regulation of companies destroying the environment and contributing unnecessarily to climate change.

> anxious when performing under pressure

I have to repeat that I'm talking about job interviews specifically, which is not the same as "performing under pressure". Job interviews are unique in many ways and very different from having a job. This ought to be psychology 101 but somehow many techies don't understand it. The pressure of an on-the-job emergency is not the same as interview pressure. They are psychologically distinct.

Anyway, I wouldn't make the general claim that experience makes somebody anxious in job interviews, but I would make the general claim that interview tests often don't actually test for the thing the designers think they do. How exactly does one test for the value of experience, for example?

One thing worth noting though: people who have been out of school and on the job for many years may have become unaccustomed to taking tests, especially if they don't interview for jobs frequently. Fresh college grads are fresh from taking tests constantly in school. So test anxiety can start to affect long experienced people just because it's no longer natural for them compared to when they were younger and in school or new on the job market.
> Sure you could just see yourself as just a cog in the machine, with no responsibility whatsoever in wondering why the fuck you’re doing what you’re doing. But I certainly would not hire you.

I had issues with Better last year. Advisors were hard to reach, away on vacation without notice, completely unreachable before 9AM and after 5PM, and unable to adjust to the highly competitive market that was going on last year (needed 15 day close as opposed to 30). I had to switch to a local banker, who was able to provide the speed and flexibility required as they were used to the local market. The local banker also offered the same rate as Better, meaning there was no advantage to Better whatsoever.
