Not a surprise. The entire engineering team is in China. This is a disaster waiting to happen. China knows how to work the American system better than Americans.

Corona virus outcomes can be improved by improving general health. The vaccine isn't needed at all because it doesn't help people in poor health(obesity) and healthy people don't need it.

Yes, your too late.

This is antitrust shenanigans. Google takes a loss on many of its products just to avoid antitrust. The big tech companies are an oligarchy. Move on.

Exercise is good for you but not for the reasons you think.

Yes. This is so true. Panera bread has found a way to make food taste better and fresh without actually being more nutritious.

Infrastructure is naturally monopoly. Every so often the companies will have a bunch of customer facing shill companies that customers buy. The shill companies then send purchase the infrastructure from the main provider. Examples are MVNO's, natural gas, etc.

The real antitrust problem is DuckDuckGo.

If you want a more accurate CPI, this is it. He even states some problems like not counting prices in cities.

Spot on. The inflation number is based on a basket of goods and apparently they count an iPad as a necessary good. Then there are things like packaging staying the same size and less food in each package. If the old counting methodology was used inflation would be 10%.

Its more important how the numbers are generated than numbers itself.

I see so many posts that have the wrong idea. So many of our politicians and lobbyists are former lawyers. Even the accountants are in on it. The laws are written to be purposely complicated so mega corporations keep smaller entrepreneurs down and lawyers/accountants big fees for knowing the rules inside out(they wrote them).

Why do you think large companies give stock options as compensation instead of straight cash. It is to avoid taxes.

The average American has one source of income a W2. A simple tax filing. Next time you do your tax filing, look at the questions TurboTax or FreeTaxUSA asks you and then look at the offical government tax doc(this is what gets filled out with your answers).

ConsumerOS should be more appropriate for app-based OS.

Always more to these type of people that they don't tell you about. They just try and make them look as bad as possible to justify their actions.

The is a hard to fix problem. It is always centralized somewhere. The only way this could change is if everybody was assigned a static ip and could host their own content from their own home server.

There is one overlooked aspect of public web forums like Reddit. Although it is temporary, you can get the results you want now by getting the word out to as many people as possible.

Vitamin D and artificial sunlight can even prevent seasonal flu. But it wouldn't be good for the vaccine industry.

Java is actually better(faster runtime and less energy usage) than Go but where Go beats Java is memory usage. C beats all of course.

I understand the game plan. US financial institutions will accept bitcoin into its system but only pay merchants in USD. Bitcoin in, USD out. The bitcoin won't be let out because it is digital gold. Go long bitcoin. The federal government and its henchmen (banks, financial institutions) are acquiring bitcoin.

Its a walled garden. Cryptocurrency is federal, nation level politics. Many people have been beaten up over currency. It is a massive power to be able to force the the rest of the world to use your money for international trade and only you have the right to print that money.

TLDR

Interviewing.io is different from other recruiting startups because verified candidates get to directly book time slots with engineers at companies. Candidates get verified by taking multiple mock interviews (more data points).

Other competitors, such as Triplebyte, still have a recruiter in between interview and company. Even after you get verified and have good performance on the Triplebyte quiz and interview, there is still a recruiter who acts as a gatekeeper. That recruiter can prevent you from speaking to companies even if your interview performance was 99% percentile.

I'll say it louder for the people in the back. Decentralization is inefficient. Chinese miners won't be allowed.

A central bank digital currency is like the system China has in place now. International payments are a different and challenging issue for central banks because blackmailing, drug dealing, gun running, and hostage situations that occur between nations can not have their money cancelled by the opposing nation.

Yes, because the economy no longer has to pay Visa, Mastercard, etc 3% of every transaction. Buy stocks, you blockhead.

Raoul Pal is a joke. He isn't right and only tries to sound smart. I would take what he says with a grain of salt.

Time to find a new job Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, Square employees.

If you had negative interest rates with digital currencies, then everybody buys stocks. This happens even without digital currencies.

Politicians need to control the narrative. If everybody is on Facebook, Twitter, that's where politicians will go. Wait until everybody starts coming to HackerNews lol.

Politicians turning social media sites into publication houses holding them accountable for content on their platforms. Politicians can now control the narrative by penalizing social media sites for non compliance. Social media sites have their moats widen.

I doubt this. Seems far too obvious. Its typical mafia movie activity where they set up some bait or trap.

This is has the right idea. Both politicians and tech companies are in on it. Politicians get to silence people and control the narrative. Tech companies turn into publishing houses and now have a moat (moderation and legal costs, political connections).

I have figured it out why this move was done despite being stupidly obvious. It is done to provide cover for the next thing Section 230 repealed. Section 230 provides immunity for website publishers from third party content. By repealing section 230, big social media tech gets an even larger monopoly but that's not the reason why this happened. There are lot of people on these social media platforms who are behind the scenes worker type of people. They know how things work and run their mouth freely. Somebody predicted Kamala Harris as VP 1 and 1/2 years out. The politicians can't risk losing control.

I agree. It was extremely dumb and obvious. TOO OBVIOUS. What are the politicians and social media tech companies trying to get out of section 230?
