Trias11··on Why we ignore thousands of daily car crashes
It's hard to monetize politically.
Trias11··on Tell HN: You can't hire because you don't post salary ranges
Nothing prevents you to ask about salary range at the very first conversation.

Just specify that "depends on experience" or "we're competitive" or "industry standard" BS is not going to fly.

Trias11··on Hertz paid Accenture $32M for a website that never went live (2019)
Quite often such "bad looking" business deals are actually well-planned money laundering or kickback schemes.
Trias11··on Blue Zones, where people reach age 100 at 10 times greater rates
If these all are warm places, with good nature, away from nonsense of a big city - chances are people will live longer there.
Trias11··on Ask HN: Why are the FAANG tech support forums often useless?
Because FAANGS are essentially gigantic centralized socialist states where users and small customers are just a "blob" that needs to be used, milked and discarded.

There is not a single good reason for them to provide support beyond whats required (if any) by local government regulations.

Trias11··on ProtonMail Is Down
Slower login, but works
Trias11··on Why programmers are not paid in proportion to their productivity (2009)
Because engineering is considered as "liability" while sales are "assets".

Investment in more sales gives almost immediate gratification while investment in engineering takes longer and carrying bigger risk.

Thus majority of senior execs never like conversation about more investment into engineering

Trias11··on We are removing the option to create new subscriptions
Kudos!
Trias11··on Do kwon sent $80M a month to secret wallets?
You clearly refuse to see anything but pollution, speculation, theft, and crime.

That doesn't reflect reality.

Trias11··on Questions candidates can ask about equity compensation
I second that.

Don't expect to get $1M if you own 0.1% of equity and the company is sold for $1B.

Highly likely you'll get nothing + laid off.

Negotiate for immediate benefits: cash bonus, salary, RSUs (if company is public), etc...

Trias11··on Ask HN: Can Google employees see the search histories of users?
Most certainly yes.

Depending of level of access of employee.

The data is all there.

Trias11··on Hetzner subsea fibre cut outage
Lol,

To be specific - you invested in EU taxes, while others invested in cable.

Trias11··on Ask HN: Is the EULA on my new $30k RED cinema camera legal?
Nothing you can do about it.

It is very well maybe that part of it is not enforceable in your area anyways.

Nothing they can do about it.

Trias11··on Tell HN: IT guy at my company just did what?
My guess is that you were already pre-authenticated by some internal system for him so he gave you a slack.

And also I think you were not the first calling with that specific issue and likely it was not external attack - related but rather internal system failure related that he was aware of.

Trias11··on Ask HN: How would you invest $1M for passive income/cash flow?
Specific ideas are welcome especially if you been doing this already.
Trias11··on Pushing back against contract demands is scary but please try anyway
My typical approach to ANY contract is elimination of ANY one-sided clauses.

They're not responsible for X but i am.

I'm obligated to do Y but they're not.

I can be sued but they're not.

I always make them to trim the BS and equalize the wording.

Trias11··on Ask HN: Why did the ruble stabilize and what's going on?
It's the silent approval of Putin actions by the majority of Russian population is what caused world to actually and generally dislike Russian people.

Granted - they been hypnothized by putin's multi-billion dollar/yr propaganda machine but this is the result.

Trias11··on Ask HN: Why hasn’t Putin put all his chips into Odessa?
Besides, Putin is losing the remainder of any common sense and is driven by pure revenge and leftovers of his imperial ambitions.

People unfortunately will keep dying until he will be wiped away into oblivion of his soviet communist criminal legacy mindset.

Trias11··on Canada bans foreign home buyers for two years
Right.

Communist until you get rich

Feminist until you get married

Atheist until the plane starts falling

Critisizing NIMBYism until you own the house.

Trias11··on De-AMP: Cutting out Google and enhancing privacy
Brave is my default browser.
Trias11··on WireGuard multihop available in the Mullvad app
+2 Mullvad
Trias11··on Google says AI generated content is against guidelines
If google can randomly penalize people and businesses with no chance of recourse

It's certainly good idea to penalize google with intelligent AI-generating content

Trias11··on People who press on cookie banners anything except “agree” – why do you do that?
Is there any solution to auto-dismiss these stupid things?
Trias11··on Ask HN: Corporate bully trying to take the code I wrote?
If you weren't paid by them anything, likely you have a strong hand.

If they paid you something - then it's muddy/lawyer-sh turf.

Trias11··on Ask HN: How do people working remotely prevent interruptions from family?
Separate room, closed door, earphones with noise isolation.
Trias11··on Ask HN: Why is raising money from VCs worn as a badge of honour?
I agree with your question.

It's not "raised".

It's chunk of business sold and chunk of control lost and now business got a bunch of new bosses who will dictate what and how things are done.

No glory.

Trias11··on Ask HN: How to live in San Francisco or the Bay Area on a budget?
Move across the bridge.

Share living spaces.

Trias11··on Ask HN: Would you buy a modern Toshiba Libretto?
I got GPD Pocket 3.

8", i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD.

Super cute little thing. Full blown PC that fits in your pocket.

Trias11··on Ask HN: How to make side income of 500-3k$ a month as a CTO?
Always worth to keep an eye on developments. Lots of offerings.

Many are pump-n-dump schemes.

Some are more long lasting projects.

Look for vibrant community, openness, regular support/updates and see if their energy correlates with you.

NFA. Google "WolfDen crypto", one of the projects that is evolving and interesting.

Trias11··on Ask HN: How to make side income of 500-3k$ a month as a CTO?
Crypto farming / liquidity providing. 50%-100%/yr.

$3K/mo = $36k/yr = put $75K in passive yielding to get above. Nothing else to do to achieve that.
