There was an earlier article here discussing a senior Google employee working from New Zealand (who opposed WFH). Seems like NZ's on top spot on Googlers' lists.

And then Facebook encourages hack culture, conducts hackathons and has a programming language literally named Hack. But when what you promote hurts you back, you go nuts. Hypocrisy at its best.

From the beginning of the Clubhouse escalation, I always thought: this is BS. I never used it and never will. It is a BS concept. People like Naval and Balajis (both of whom I admire in some aspects) kept on shouting how good it is. I think this is because of the internal handshakes these guys have within the Valley. (One of the founders of CH is Indian.) But at the end of the day, it is nothing new and the escalation, which I felt would dry up pretty quickly, did dry up pretty quickly.

Edit: I would also like to say how angry I am on heralds like Naval and Balajis. These two guys are ardent promoters and promote anything which they can see, especially Balajis. Much of what Balajis dreams about at night is never gonna happen anyway. There is few truth nuggets here and there and he stumbles upon good predictions here and there but ultimately, that guy is just news source. That guys spends time scrounging news from different sources and present it to people. Which is good actually. But people should remember not to buy everything he says and start dreaming the world's gonna look like that in a few years. That is just day-dreaming. Naval is better because he actually says what's on his mind and not just news.

This is a rant and an opinion which is different from thousands of people out there. And not even related to the post. Sorry.

like duh

fodl

wish HN had downvotes

Won't be surprised if India goes this way as well.

This dude writes stuff hitting the sweet spot!

I totally agree. Great analysis and article.

This is a double-edged sword. It'd mean that common people should be able to use crypto and the mythic threats of terrorist finance and laundering are not that serious since it can be traced. And normal people won't do that but use it in other simple ways.
