So far, the only thing "cryptocurrency" has revealed is that finance regulations are mostly useful and good.

Some forms of debt are a headache if the business goes south but tech debt can be ignored if the software project goes nowhere. So the “terms” are good.
Rather than complaining about tech debt, one should communicate the advantages of paying it down or the risks of taking on too much. But the metaphor works and simply referring to “debt” will not dissuade people because a bit of debt is fine.

Whether that's acceptable is up for debate but it is in line with most SPAs/websites these days.
I think Blazor in particular has a lot of potential. I've grown disillusioned with front-end development over the past 5 years so it's worth trying something new and experimental. But I'm not sure I'd bet my career on it or ship it widely yet.
Besides that, congress controls the budget for these agencies. Simply by funding the EPA and the FDA, it demonstrates a level of support for their actions.
It's clear that they are simply using "originalism" to cherry pick what falls in line with their personal opinions.
For 2020, I blame Tiger King for glamorizing a life of crime. I’m prepared to put together some infographics about it and the theory will be as convincing as any other.
Having a written agreement and guidelines to mediate conflicts is vital once a community gets to a certain size. Humans have been doing this since Hammurabi.
And what do you consider “the establishment” to be exactly?
Courts struggle with it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhWCk2f2alI
Smaller sites like HN do better compared to twitter or reddit, because it's easier. But ultimately it all depends on what kind of communities the company wants to nurture.
While it would be nice if social media companies actually said the truth about moderation rather than pretending there's some content neutral principals they're applying, I also think a lot of people would be better off if they accept that social media is what it is, and move on if they don't like it.
“The market reached equilibrium” with child labor and indentured servitude. Most people consider child labor unfair, so law/culture/customs changed how the market operates.
Even within the narrow definition of “fairness” in economics you still have externalities. This can become really tricky and require ethical considerations beyond a “pure math” problem.
For an array of 5-10 items the performance hit of foreach is worth it for readability. Maybe an interesting discussion could occur about when to sacrifice readability for performance but you won’t get that by grilling people about minutiae.
Personally I don’t mind a whiteboard session or two during a loop but what’s wild to me is how, especially at big companies, you’re expected to do four or five of these to get an offer.
How often do these companies decide “well they understand when to use DFS and they can merge-sort a linked-list and they knew to use dynamic programming but we can’t hire them because they couldn’t remember how to implement a heap”?
This is absurd. "The market" is amoral: it's just a collection of human behaviors that are shaped by laws, culture, and customs. All of those can change, the law can change quite easily.
That being said, it's always made me feel weird in a way I struggle to articulate. It seems cool to offer an opportunity to someone who needs it, and referral bonuses are nice for workers.
But it does seem to go against the spirit of referral bonuses.
I suppose if companies were really upset by people hacking their referral system they could simply fix their online application process so that it doesn't go nowhere.
Looked at a different way, the companies are essentially paying bonuses to their engineers to do resume screening. It seems like if that's what they really wanted they could ask people to do it as part of their job though.
The sun itself may get ejected into intergalactic space when the Milky Way merges with Andromeda. (< 5 billion years from now)
Earth will probably be totally engulfed by the sun when it goes red giant, or it might not in which case presumably it will continue orbiting. (7.59 billion years from now)
By 100 billion–1 trillion years from now all galaxies in the local group are expected to have merged, so there will probably be other opportunities for the sun to get yeeted into intergalactic space.
By 10–100 quintillion it's expected that 90-99% of all stellar remnants will be ejected.
Finally, at 10^30 (1 nonillion) years from now, we get this gem: Estimated time until most or all of the remaining 1–10% of stellar remnants not ejected from galaxies fall into their galaxies' central supermassive black holes. By this point, with binary stars having fallen into each other, and planets into their stars, via emission of gravitational radiation, only solitary objects (stellar remnants, brown dwarfs, ejected planetary-mass objects, black holes) will remain in the universe.
One thing to keep in mind though is that by the time our sun gets sucked into a black hole, the galaxy will have merged so it may very well be a different black hole, or this paticular black hole may have merged with multiple other ones.
I believe wealthy people (so some founders) do this on better terms because they have a better negotiating position.
Fortunately the people who are vigilant about Twitter moderation policies and word processor features are acting in good faith and will be outraged by actual government attempts to stifle speech.
- Figure out how to target the people who are immediately looking for your service or might be. For the home example, people going to open houses, people searching mortgage rates, renters who just had a kid or got married, Employees of a startup that just IPO'd or was acquired.
- Try to get referrals from happy past customers. I've used home buying services and also recruiting services that will just straight up mail me a check for thousands of dollars if I was a customer, and sent them a friends referral.
The general public would be better off if Tesla and/or SpaceX actually accomplished their stated goals. What they’ve done is great but they’re not done and need leadership.
Twitter would be way worse off if he turned it into Gab or 4chan with an edit button. Both their product and their financials.
Musk himself is turning into a cringy Twitter troll. If a friend of mine were acting like that I’d tell them to put the phone down and go for a walk. The less he thinks about Twitter the better.
It goes deeper than the pop-sci articles about "doing all combinations at once" but remains accessible and by the end you understand entanglement and can read some Q# code.
Also the /r/Truckers/ subreddit has users post their setup sometimes. But usually those are either "look what I was able to cook" or "check out my gaming setup".
