eip··on After beating cable lobby, Colorado city moves ahead with muni broadband

All the more reason not to let Comcast use it.

eip··on Why I'm Putting All My Savings into Bitcoin (2011)
There is literally quadrillions in wealth measured in the various currencies of the world. So far crypto isn't even 0.1% of that.

The true fool is the one who believes crypto has any more or less intrinsic value than fiat.

eip··on Ask HN: Why is net neutrality a big deal now?
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

eip··on Ask HN: What's the best way to get a remote position
That means your normal rate is not high enough.
eip··on Ask HN: What's the best way to get a remote position
> Don't undercharge because you work remotely.

You misunderstand. Remote is the normal salary you want. The on site salary is normal salary + 50% inconvenience fee.

eip··on Ask HN: What's the best way to get a remote position
Tell them you will do either but your rate is 50% higher to work on site.

eip··on Amazon Is Asking Indians to Hand Over Their Aadhaar Biometric ID
> and how to replace that in the wake of Equifax. It seems like the winds are starting to align for us to have something like Aadhaar

That was the point of the Equifax hack. To push biometrics. They have been itching for the mark since way back. It's getting close.

Did you ever get the felling you're being followed?

Are you not familiar with the Revelations of St.John The final book of the Bible, prophesied the apocalypse

He forced everyone to receive a mark on his right hand Or on his forehead so that no one shall be able To buy or sell unless he has that mark Which is the name of the beast and the number of his name And the number of the beast is '6 6 6'

What can such a specific prophecy mean? What is the mark?

eip··on Ask HN: What are you doing about the impending “big” earthquake in the bay area?
I moved out of the bay in '06. Been working remote for bay companies ever since. Live in a huge house less than 1000ft from the ocean that is cheaper than a studio anywhere in the bay.

From a corporate survival standpoint it's retarded to put all of your servers in redundant data centers spread all over the world but put all of you employees in one city that is likely to be uninhabitable soon.

eip··on Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing”
>What about folks who don't have the luxury of jobs where they can work remotely?

I would bet >50% of the people working in the bay area who say they can't work remote are doing jobs that could very easily be done remote.

Do you work on a computer? You can do that remote.

eip··on Bay Area hammered by loss of jobs: Lack of affordable housing strangles hiring
It's super easy. You just tell them my rate to work remote is X. My rate to work on site is 1.75X.

Been remote for 10+ years. Make bay area salary and live in a huge house on the beach.

eip··on We Need an Energy Miracle (2015)
I never claimed otherwise. They have unlimited R&D budget and the ability to kidnap scientists/inventors and steal their tech. They release tons of goodies all the time. Just not advanced energy tech.

There are two reasons for this:

1. The stability of the petrodollar global control grid is based on the centralized production of energy. Any tech that would lead to widespread decentralization is a threat. Power is power.

2. People are too retarded and selfish to be trusted with unlimited energy. They would inevitably split the crust of the earth and kill us all.

So until both of those things change you won't see permanent batteries, cheap hydrogen from water, high efficiency solar, or any of the other energy tech they are sitting on.

eip··on We Need an Energy Miracle (2015)
The military has been suppressing advanced energy tech for 70+ years in order to maintain the stability of the global financial (slavery) system.

Decentralized energy production means loss of control.

eip··on Open-Sourcing Vespa, Yahoo’s Data Processing and Serving Engine
>Meyer basically destroyed a healthy, but not growing, company in the span of 4 years

So she did exactly what Google paid her to do. Eliminate a competitor.

How dumb do you have to be to hire a CEO from high in the ranks of your biggest rival?
