Yes, but he went on to say that it is truly slow and that it needs more spend, which is another way of saying, "You're wrong! It's not that! ... but I have no idea what it is," which isn't a very good response.
It depends on whether the OP is failing tech screens or whether it's the companies/interviewers that are failing the screens. I was on the job hunt earlier this year and, while I'm by no means perfect, I had a lot of tech screens fall apart because the interviewer was awkward, pushy, or arrogant; or the demand placed upon knowledge or skill assessment was unreasonable. My impression is that if hiring really mattered to these companies that they would refine their hiring process rather than leaving it up to whichever dev who has nothing else to do that day.

Recommendation: If you've been following or interested in the FTX scandal at all, read this whole brilliant post beginning to end. Not only is the writing in Matt Levine's hilarious style (I second all the other comments related to this!) it is also incredibly informative as to the mechanics of all the WTFs that actually went down. For example, I've been following this fairly closely but I didn't really have a good understanding of how Serum/SRM played a role, and Levine outlines this clearly.

Really great piece, thanks for posting.

You can exchange BTC all you want, but if you exchange (verb) it then it’s no longer BTC. Likewise, if it’s sitting on an exchange (noun) then it’s not BTC.

Normally I would have sympathy but if you post on HN then I have trouble taking it seriously that you can’t figure this out. How could it possibly be any more obvious?

Sorry, but this is nearly the exact opposite of the truth. The choice of underlying JS runtime only really affects performance. Bun is specifically designed to be fully Node-compatible (including the standard library, etc), while Deno is specifically designed to be a break that leaves Node's baggage behind (the current post is one of the pragmatic compromises they've made on that intent, but the intent is still there). Both runtimes add their own stuff on top of the above, but Bun is definitely the most "like Node" in terms of compatibility/familiarity/ease of adoption (and I say this as someone who prefers Deno).

> You're guaranteed to get your money back from an Overnight loan to the Fed. (literally a 1-day loan to the USA's central bank).

Well, then those loans are also risk-free, right? Because they are also financed by increasing the money supply and the Fed can't spend the money that was loaned to them.

But normal loans and bonds are not risk-free, they have a default risk. Which is the entire reason why when you loan your money, sometimes you can't get it back.

Staking, however, is risk-free, so the following statements of yours are wrong.

> Everyone in the cryptocoin world is doing this "staking" == crappy loans / bonds business.

> > Staking is not a loan.

> Yes it is. You give your money over to another organization, and that organization promises a % yield / APY in return. You aren't allowed the money back until later.

> Its totally a bond.

SBF was well liked by much of the Bitcoin haters because he pushed many of the same sentiments. It not for the fact that this implosion has also dragged the Bitcoin price somewhat too you would be hearing much gloating.

Do they though? It depends on your definition of often I guess and it has definitely been happening more in recent years. I'm unable to find data, but in my experience I can only remember seeing this in sexy companies like Tesla where there are a lot of retail investors. It makes little sense that issuing a lot of new stock leads to a significantly higher market cap (unless there was uncertainty whether a company would be able to raise money at all).

I don't think "memed into existence" is gibberish; just hyperbole.
I would consider sending out 200 applications (for someone with some experience to reasonably targeted openings) to be an extraordinarily high number. I doubt if I sent out that many form letter scattershot from pre-internet grad school.

My number one pain in the butt with Slack search is the fact that "advanced" operators or "advanced search" suck.

And I am not talking about the ui: there are multiple interfaces to filter/refine your search instead of being in a single localized page; additionally it would be better to be able to modify your search and view the results side by side, so that you immediately figure out if your new search params are better than the previous ones without having to go through a couple of clicks..

I am so surprised that no one has came up with better search in Slack in so many years, I could literally come up with a better search spec in less than a month - given search is something that is used AT LEAST once a day by people in our org

Yeah, FDR's government really liked taking land from people. The TVA basically tossed black farmers out on their asses[1]. The Housing Act of 1937 was used to clear out "slums"[2] and required new housing be provided, but it was largely used to suppress and disperse immigrants and African Americans. The New Deal was pretty terrible if you were black and owned anything, not to mention the intentional setting of minimum wages to a level that would ensure black unemployment[3].

This is a good example of what I mean by saying employers aren't desperate. If you're thinking about the outcome of the election or any of that, you're not desperate. Desperate means you have a pile of work and the value proposition of pulling someone in to do it is obvious.

There's nothing wrong with that unless you're giving mixed signals to your applicants. Accepting resumes for a perpetual "general interest" position is no problem. Posting a new listing for a specific position and then assuring an applicant during the first interview that you're actively recruiting when in fact you're really ambivalent is not good. I'm not accusing you of doing that, I'm just saying, is all.

I was interested in an open position that I was uniquely suited for- I have expertise in their field, and I even know a number of people at the company, as they were former co-workers. I wasn't even able to get an interview there because I'm in the US- and they're only willing to hire in Canada and Latin America.

I work at a "second tier" tech company, I'm not making FAANG money, and I wouldn't be asking for FAANG money, but companies may be shying away from US employees who are more expensive than whoever they could find elsewhere.

> the legislation and its (unintended) negative effects on developers of open-source software.

The negative effects seem pretty intended to me. The legislators are aware of open source software and have an exception for non-commercial activities, but intentionally penalize OSS related to commercial activities, by leaving them out of that exception.

And, at this point, I don't believe that these legislators are so stupid that they can't see the consequences of their proposals. They probably just don't care about the negative consequences, or the "negative consequences" (negative for us) are actually what they're striving for.

The book The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton caused me to experience several lightbulb moments. Before reading this book, I didn't understand whether central banks truly could create money out of thin air, and why some countries (USA, UK) seem to have ginormous amounts of national debt without running into trouble, whereas other countries (Greece, Argentina) did experience tangible crises because of their national debt. Now I feel that I do understand and it all clicks, even though I was not persuaded to believe in the book's policy recommendations, such as a job guarantee.
Under the reasoning that hiring is expensive and training is extremely expensive?

1. The salary of a current employee will always be lower than the salary of a new hire, even a year later,

2. The hiring process itself costs tens of thousands of dollars,

3. A new joiner is useless for 2 months, needs to be babysat for 4 more and will ask constant questions for 6 more (if not 18). This costs the company a lot in terms of support that has to be provided from more senior (in tenure) employees.

> For me, my one and only use of crypto (back in the day) was to put it through a mixer and then use it to pay for hosting for some TOR exit nodes in Iceland that I didn't want tied to me personally.

That use case at least makes some sense and isn't illegal, but there are probably only dozens of users who'd ever want to do something like that, which isn't enough to support a payment ecosystem.

There are also probably conventional alternatives that probably work for that. I'm somewhat paranoid about getting doxxed based on some teenage internet experiences. There are a couple of forums out there with paywalls that exist mainly to reduce moderator workload, and (10-15) years ago I was able to subscribe with a combination of Visa gift cards and PayPal. The gift cards let you enter (un-validated) identity information so they could be used like credit cards online, and PayPal didn't seem to like them but there was a long delay before they were detected. So I created a throwaway PayPal account with a small-denomination gift card as a payment source, paid for the membership, and abandoned the PayPal account (which would eventually get locked).

Now, a lot of people might be saying… “Hire remote”.

Here’s why most companies won’t do it.

1. An employee is a big investment to non-FAANG companies.

2. Does the candidate demonstrate that they are capable of remote work? (Sorry, more than 50% aren’t).

3. Employers want to see competence first before they would allow remote work.

These days only companies who are desperate, or have a solid competence and experience in managing remote workers will do it.
I think that’s a bullshit quote. He actually said it but I think he understood how to stir the pot: but being eccentric and controversial.
I've been a developer in the US and held... oh... 8 or 9 tech jobs since about the year 2000. I don't think I've ever sent more than 10 applications in a job search. My average is probably 3-4. I'm entirely unremarkable and also didn't have a degree for the first IIRC 4 jobs (I floundered and bailed on a non-tech Bachelor's the first time, then several years later got a CS degree from an unremarkable—but at least not infamous—university).

But I also target the mid-tier, not FAANG, finance, or top-tier startups that hire like FAANG. I'd break down halfway through one of their day-long interviews no matter how much I studied leetcode, and I know it. Put me in any kind of meeting for more than a couple hours and I'm braindead, and interviews count as meetings. Even worse than ordinary meetings, really.

Yeah, if I had to send 50, let alone 200 applications in one search... I can't even imagine. If I hit 100 with no offers I'd for-sure reckon my career was over and I needed to look at jobs several notches down the economic and social ladder (and tech's already not that high on the social ladder).

Take into account that between the two of them Eric is the expert.

It was Musk who failed to keep things professional. His first post was literally humiliating his own employees for writing bad code. It's his own company, he may not have been around, but it's his people now. Even if Twitter's Android client is not the best, playing the blame game is callous and petty. There is no point to trying to show that you are better than your employees either. It's the opposite of what a functional CEO should do.

Just being pedantic here, but there's not limitation on, say, homicide.

Whether or not there is a statute of limitations is generally dependent on the severity of the offense.

But again, just a nit-pick. To my mind, the mistake is in paying any sort of reparations to anyone, ever. As a nation state, unfortunately, some things you have to go all in on. Not paying reparations is one of those things.

I am OK with forcing state and local governments to pay out for egregious acts taken in explicit contravention of Constitutional rights. But that's because as a nation state we should also go all in on defending the constitutional rights of our citizens. I know that's talking out of both sides of my mouth, but the reality is that nation states can incur far larger obligations than state and local governments can. A nation state could end up with an obligation that realistically simply can't be paid.

Drafts are modified or rejected because of expert/public commentary. As such, it's weird for dang to consider proposals offtopic since HN is not supposed to be like Reddit a general audience discussion platform.

Using new user deposits to pay off old users is a ponzi.

Issuing bonds to pay off old debt is not a ponzi because the premise that you will lose your money if the company defaults is known and evaluated up front. And the yield on the bond is commensurate with the risk.

There is no reasonable expectation that an exchange will gamble and possibly lose the money you deposit

I often joke that crypto has been run by gold bugs who were forced to "smoke the whole pack" on fiat currencies. So a lot of crypto is a nihilistic homage to federal reserve systems.

In that way, "DeFi" feels the same about the finance industry.

It was no secret that SBF hated traditional finance. And so I assume he refused to learn anything from it. But what he ended up creating was almost a hilarious parody of the financial system.

That's at least how I can square the circle about how someone who could criticize Lehman Brothers for letting themselves get overleveraged on shady asset classes could literally have negative 8 billion dollars in "Hidden, poorly internally labeled ‘fiat@’ account" and then publicly go to Twitter to say they have a "liquidity problem".
