azm1··on Martin Shkreli is found guilty of securities fraud
Why would this guy should go to prison when no one(except one guy in us) went to prison after the massive financial crisis in 2008?I know its naive/rhetorical question but thinking about it, its crazy to me.He did no financial harm too.

azm1··on Swedish Government Scrambles to Contain Damage from Data Breach
> I don't understand the connection between the two. Do you mean the financial considerations?

Yep.They try to save money on the most crucial part of every country and yet they spent vast amounts on so called refugees.It does not make any sense to me..

azm1··on Swedish Government Scrambles to Contain Damage from Data Breach
It blows my mind that rich country like sweden outsource super important info to ibm but on the other side accepts 'refugees' heavily.

azm1··on A crashed advertisement reveals logs of a facial recognition system
Its absurd people are outraged about something like this, relatively harmless and at the same time use Facebook. The social network has your face, all your life, moods, expressions, interests,personal conversation etc. Now THAT is worrying and not some pizza shop which gathers stats to know what type of customer is their frequent visitor.
azm1··on What happens when you swipe a credit card
never thought of this.Simpyfying the number system would be beneficial for the consumer but also for the companies who make money out of this CC system

Are the csgo team coaches really good at playing comp. csgo? Dont think its the main quality you need to have to push him forward.You great player but never be able to communicate it to others.But as a good observer with analytical skills you can be great at spotting potential and weakness etc etc
azm1··on New data show that joining the 1% remains unsettlingly hereditary
it has always been like that.Few powerful people only.Unfortunatelly socialism emerged like a fake and dangerous pseudosaviour and from then on many people think we are supposed to be 'equal'.
azm1··on The brain functional connectome is robustly altered by lack of sleep

azm1··on Reverse Engineering for Beginners
Good stuff. Consider posting in https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/
azm1··on Japanese Bookshop Stocks Only One Book at a Time
This is such flat, materialistic comparison. What about going back to roots, hara how its called in Japan, doing one action well, instead of focusing on the amount, focusing on single quality and trying to find beauty in it. I would almost call it practical art. There is something peaceful about it.
azm1··on Swift open source – let the revolution begin
14kb ? Are you still on 14.4k from 1991 ?
azm1··on Coffee drinking linked to lower mortality risk again
well you get suger in bread, fruits etc. You don't have to eat sweets to get daily intake of sugar(For example brain needs sugar for it to work).

Brown sugar is definitely better as a sweetener compare to the white refined sugar as all the healthy parts are stripped.

azm1··on VW engineers have admitted manipulating CO2 emissions data-paper
If you would think of all humankind + planet as one entity, then you would deduce that it does not make sense to create such redundant engines because for you as a one cell it can be enjoyable and cool but for the cell next to you its actually damaging. So its a zero sum game. You should think of others and always ask yourself if your actions does not harm others or at least try to reduce the harm if possible. So yes, I would say the more power, the greater moral responsibility for the future of our species. For sure.

Once you are great mind and able to design modern engines for super cars then I would say you could do many other 'jobs' which would probably benefit us all more than making strong cars.

BTW I like fast cars myself. My conclusion is rather utopian. If you feel like you should do something more beneficial in position of such person who makes engines, maybe you could consider finding another job. But can you generalize that to all? Probably not..

azm1··on VW engineers have admitted manipulating CO2 emissions data-paper
Interesting question. Depends how you working on it. If you are working on improving the efficiency then I would say its ok. If you are tampering with the actual values because your engines are bad to environment then yes, you are directly responsible. Are those workers who put the engine together responsible? Absolutely not. Unless they are aware of such shady actions.
azm1··on Forex Scandal Drives Shift to Algo Trading
What value do you produce for people when trading forex via algorithms? Honest question.
azm1··on Bitcoin Creator ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ Unmasked as Nick Szabo
In that case that would mean that Nick is single point of failure which does not help much. It's single proxy. Although we do not know whether transparent or not.
azm1··on Ask HN: Is it me or ...?
No it's pretty solid, from the ground up stance. Those who values independence and control over their life are much happier with this setup rather than going too quickly to barely catch up or even fall. I think there is nothing wrong with your observation as long as you remain kind to people around you. Meanwhile you can be figuring up way how make your ideas happen.
azm1··on What is the page/blog where people introduce what equipment they use
Thank you.
azm1··on Forgotten Employee (2002)
Did you get paid during the time ? What went through your head that you managed to keep being there for such long time and not to search for different job ? Also from your story it looks like it left quite a stain and still is not washed. I think its good to look at things as you are(or were) in the leading position(of your life) and where did you made bad decisions. Not to put all the 'bad' stuff you regret on someone else,whether it is company or individual. How else you gonna fix it ? At the end you decided to go there, stay there, get upset and leave. It was tough but the people around you just did what they were asked to. Once you take 100 procent of responsibility on yourself and your decisions even if you are employed you will feel way more free and satisfied and from this state of mind you can for example think of your startup/idea and get fully independent on the physical plane as well. And not thinking of some revenge still being in past..
