In most VC companies you'll be forced to hire fast as a way to show progress.

CEOs and even some CTOs don't understand how productivity can be lost by adding too many people too fast.

I've known of instances where managers have been pushed out because they didn't hire fast enough.

The amount of money wasted due to stupid things like this is incredible.
This is a silly nitpick. I think its pretty well understood from context i meant a practical quantum safe key agreement algorithm. One time pad cannot be used for that purpose at all, let alone practically.
It's not enough to build something great if nobody knows about it. Marketing is just as important to the success of a project as engineering. By giving such a generous shoutout to Zig, complete with a call for donations, Jarred has effectively created a symbiotic relationship with the Zig project, a win-win situation where both projects are boosted up by each others' spotlights.
I've never understood having employees for the sake of having employees. who is that impressing?

it makes me think of a midwesterner who has swung every vote when the politician says "jobs!" over and over again, and now they're funded and are like "jobs for the sake of jobs! look how many jobs I made!"

what are the tertiary benefits of doing this, if any? do the growth capital VCs need to see that? would be counterintuitive if thats a thing

just feel like I'm missing something as the employee growth have no causation for profit growth. any correlation is because people just have been getting a bunch of them and only have them if they can afford them, some of which is from profits sometimes when companies had those.

Pegs simply do not hold. They're like pinatas full of money. Even well-supported pegs can pay off huge if you have enough capital to break open the pinata. This is how Soros made his billions - he broke the peg of the British pound.

It's extremely difficult to create ersatz dollars, it's especially difficult to do that out of marketable securities, and especially difficult to do that out of highly volatile marketable securities.
You're confusing latency with throughput.

In Uncut Gems, he was only an actor, as opposed to the vast majority of his work, which comes from his production company (Happy Madison Productions).

I mean, talking to a server in Australia as the ground station, and having it launch a signal to and from the ISS (the "a bit") works. But it's connecting via some listening post like in Alice Springs, not a data center in Sydney, so you have to wonder about Australias internal internet service.
The author complains that developers argue about their tools and methods, insist on their favorite techniques, but produce (more) worse apps. Particularly for the amount of time and effort expended on developing the apps.

The thing is: the debates aren’t naive. They’re exactly trying to workout the details.

When someone says, hey forget postgresql and just use SQLite, and someone else says good luck if you hit n rows, and someone says it can easily handle n+m rows with x memory …

Well they’re trying to solve the problem of (more) better apps with their limited resources. That’s essentially the problem of development.

Asking people to solve development without discussing the tools and methods is to misunderstand the nature of the discussion.

It’s like telling authors to get on and write better novels and not waste time with their opinions on character and plot.

The author clearly cares about both science and progress in the abstract, and how applicable science and progress are to daily living. The author does have a point: scientific research is both a) slow, and b) confirmatory. This means that it necessarily lags behind what people can think up, surmise, and hypothesize. Yes, people who blindly believe in Science are missing part of the point. But that isn't a problem with Science.

Unfortunately, the writing in this post is not compelling -- it is overly emotionally charged (rather than analytical), contains contradictions, is not backed up by any citations or links, and has weird grammar.

Some examples:

> Of course, much like the Greek Gods, we cannot seem to speak to "knowledge" directly, or to mentally murky academics, but only to official mediators: journalists and "science communicators" and the like.

Every academic has a publicly accessible email address. Some may not respond to a honest inquiry, but in my experience, many do! Of all the academics I've emailed, I'd say my response rate is ~8/10.

> And scientific models, from our models of the atom, to models of the Earth's weather and climate, to models of our body are highly circumstantial, and as a rule, will nearly all inevitably be proven false.

The Bayesian interpretation of probability in the context of hypothesis testing suggests that "True" and "False" are not useful conceptual predicates for thinking about models. Newton's laws are "False" if you want to be persnickety, but they describe how things move on Earth to an astonishing degree of accuracy.

> We know nearly nothing of how the brain works.

This is a hyperbolic claim. The visual system, detailing how information in the form of light wavelengths are transformed at various stages of processing and location is remarkably well worked out. Especially given that researchers have only been tackling the problem for a little more than a hundred and twenty years.

> The reality is that these demigods really just went to graduate school because they were lazy and initiativeless, and even in the abstract, most of their real work has nothing to do with your life whatsoever.

> Science journalists, much like journalists generally, are people too incompetent and emotional to work in the private sector...

It always saddens me to read writing from an author who doesn't seem to be very happy. Would he say that MD-PhD researchers who went to grad school are lazy and lacking in initiative?

...

While it would be great to be alive to benefit from, say, another 100 years of medical research and development, that's a counter-factual fantasy. Science is our best guess. It is also an imperfect process. But hey, the author is more than welcome to think of a better way to do generate new, accurate, and useful knowledge.
What the article doesn't talk about is the huge amount of hype he's generated and the amount of tourism he's encouraged/ The fact that everyone is discussing El Salvador.

He's put them on the map as a country. When i went to El Zonte in 2017 it was pretty much a normal Central american beach town. Very poor, very little infrastructure, not alot of tourists. I went again this last April and it is absolutely packed, they've redesigned the pramanade and added tons of hostels and hotels. People flock to this area from around the world to use bitcoin.

Is is a gimick, yes. Has el Salvador definitely made more than $65m thanks to crypto bro tourism & foreign investment, yes.

Will the BTC investment pay off and make el salvador richer? it already has.

> Everybody seems to have an opinion on how you do your web dev and how websites and web apps should be structured.

It’s true and it leads to many annoying unproductive arguments, IMO the reason is a fundamental lack of a scientific mindset in evaluating techniques and tooling. We don’t have theories or testable hypotheses, we have opinions.

On one level I like and agree with the author’s idea that results are what really matter. As an engineer trying to achieve outcomes for employers, clients, and customers, this approach has served me well.

As a community of professionals, it would be nice to see more effort to work towards rigorously proven conclusions about what works best and why.

When someone touts a paradigm, technique, or framework as the best, without any real data or theory as to why, I think they should be told to provide evidence or withdraw their argument, and I’d say that goes double when it’s the framework or technique you like or use. IMO, these shouldn’t be fights about tech, they should be ones about quality of discourse.

I'll acknowledge that "have to" is maybe an exaggeration, but it's definitely going to be cheaper to hire new talent than reskill existing engineers (who may not even be interested in reskilling), and profit margins generally dictate the cheapest path forward in an ultracompetitive industry like logistics. And on top of all those issues, the existing workflows must be maintained while the cloud-adapted ones come online, and in a complex enough enterprise environment we're talking about a project that can take years to execute.

Don't blame the VCs, blame the public. Extra headcount absolutely increases your perceived credibility at an IPO, so they are growing this metric.

In defense of the public, if 10 devs out of 30 decide to leave and open a competing business, you're screwed. If 10 out of 1000 do that, nobody will notice.

For the people saying this would not be possible in the US VC centered startup ecosystem: the existence of this isn’t really telling us much about how other companies should be run.

Keep in mind that US based, VC funded companies are competing against other similar companies. You either move quickly or die, the competition is intense and so are the financial rewards. Engineer tenure averages 2-3 years. All of that factors in to the specific dynamics of the startup ecosystem.

There's no such thing as a sustained arbitrage opportunity. The whole point of arbitrage opportunities is that they are self-limiting.

For example, let's say there's a delta in terms of Bitcoin pricing in Korea vs the US - due to banking requirements. Let's call this the "Kimchi premium."

Arbitrageurs find a way to buy at the US price, sell at the Korean price, and keep the difference. Their buying in a low-cost market and selling into a high-cost market ("capturing the premium") brings down the price discrepancy. You can only keep doing this as long as the structural inefficiency exists and also the number of participants remains low. The more participants, the more volume, the lower the premium.

> “As the lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus in India continues, pollution levels across much of the country have dropped sharply. Now some residents in northern India say they can see the snow-capped Himalayas 200 kilometres away for the first time in 30 years.” [1]

If we had a global deflationary economic system, the incentive to invest in capital and engage in consumerism would dissipate. People would work less, because there would be less reason to work. Without work, people would have less reason to travel. Pollution would drop accordingly.

Under a deflationary economic system, a touch over $480,000 in savings would yield an effective “UBI” of $1000/mo [2].

Once adopted by the entire world, a global currency of fixed supply controlled by computer algorithms could achieve this. Humans would voluntarily work less and pollute less.

What extreme?

Letting people decide what permissions on their apps is the middle ground.

The extremes are letting Apple decide what you can and can't run on your phone, or letting apps decide what you can or can't run on your phone.

That some people are too ignorant to set phone permissions is their problem. We still sell sharp knives even though people cut themselves all the time. Demanding Apple protect us is the digital equivalent of banning anything sharper than a butter knife.
