There also seems to be some social expectation that when you have a family, you need a bigger car, despite modestly-sized cars being perfectly sufficient.

For the Phoenix government payroll system, they paid IBM like it was the 2090s and it’s still broken.

By mass maybe?

Interesting. I’ve used HN for a long time but never noticed it before, and was very surprised when I saw it. Almost feels like it should be marked with “promotional”.

I had to scroll up and down a bit but it eventually went away.

Yes, and they make sure the face rather than the spine of the book de jour is pointed at the camera so you’re sure to see how smart the person is.

I’d imagine it’s harder to come by jobs out there, and she had a reasonable belief that the gov would eventually pay her.

But then you’d owe tax on the 50k profit you made. Besides, nothing is ever guaranteed!

That’s like saying you’d take 50k and pay 10k in tax, rather than have 100k and pay 20k in tax.

I bet your manager and/or peers looked at you like you were a blasphemer. I don’t know how it became normal to want to advertise for an employer. Good for you, I would have done the same.

So bucket 2 then?

Is a DAO similar to the Reddit model, I.e. subreddits have rules and mods that enforce them?

Writing stories/tasks in such a way that each acceptance criteria is something that is testable, then having a matching acceptance test for each criteria. Using something like Cucumber helps match the test to the criteria since you can describe steps in a readable format.

Ya, on one hand I understand people trying to monetize their work, and trying to be on the forefront of how that’s done. On the other, it feels a bit dishonest if the seller doesn’t believe in the tech enough that they too would buy in. Kind of reminds me of MLMs.

In regards to the music royalties example, what’s the benefit of using NFTs over whatever systems already exist?

For me it started with having to write unit tests and acceptance tests and integration tests for the stuff I make.

They’re “devolving” because that’s exactly what the article says WorldCoin is doing:

> But the company still has not committed to a timeline, even though it has captured and stored almost a half million iris scans to train its algorithms.

What time horizon on the RSUs?

My point is not everyone can turn it off like that. To assume that everyone can because you did is wrong.

> it's literally as simple as closing the tab

It’s literally as simple as not putting a cigarette in your mouth and smoking it.

> I never found it so addicting that I couldn't go without it for awhile

Crazy thought but what if we had a sample size bigger than you.

Let me rephrase the question then: what financial incentive would a gaming company have to remove power creep, when they make money off of selling new, more powerful items?

Sounds like you’re depending on some form of loyalty from the gaming company, which I think is naive.

> Not saying that's for sure going to happen

It’s not going to happen. What financial incentive does a gaming company have to keep the item they sold you effective? They made money selling the item, and will not receive further money from it. They will have already moved on to selling the next, more effective item.

Just wanted to post and say I enjoyed reading through your website. Very succinct.

> Your "we" in the second example is the majority of network users - any network where that isn't true is not decentralized.

So... you’re saying it’s mutable.

Software bug? I think you’re dodging the point a bit - going into a wall at any speed is bad.

Alternatively, say it has trouble orienting itself and slows down. That can be just as dangerous if cars behind you are going fast (e.g. a highway).

I’m criticizing the “self-driving” term, which seems to be having more and more asterisks applied to it. What’s next, the cars will need tracks?

Maybe I’m drawing conclusions about what these beacons would do, but if any of the things you mentioned stop working, I can still drive and won’t go full speed into a wall. I don’t have the same confidence in these beacons.

Their solution is to change browser functionality? Good luck.

> Narrow streets can be equipped with some kind of helping beacons one day

That changes the goal posts in my opinion. The “self” part of “self-driving” no longer applies.

If the jpeg is irrelevant, shouldn’t all NFTs from the same contract cost the same? If it’s just a club membership, why would people buy multiple NFTs from the same contract?
