im_asl··on Ask HN: What caused the Olympics to become so terrible?
The olympics are playing the same game they always have, while the world has moved on.

Football is thriving because of fantasy and betting. The NBA has clips, NFTs, and creators producing endless content.

What do the Olympics have? Sure they have human stories, but you need to watch a major network to consume them. The games need to figure out how to fit in today's consumption model.

That's their annual tech spend. Most of that goes to keeping the lights on. Not a lot of innovation.

im_asl··on Iceland's Water Cure
Geothermically heated water often contains lithium. This could contribute to the good vibes coming from the water.
im_asl··on Startup jobs with low salary and negligible equity, what gives?
H1's working for lower pay seems like a fallacy. Part of the visa process involves paying prevailing wages.

About us

Addepar is recreating the infrastructure that powers global wealth management. Addepar's technology increases efficiency, transparency, and sophistication within the global investment industry, thwarting fraud and furthering meritocracy in one of the most important areas of the global economy.

Our CEO, Joe Lonsdale, is a founder of Palantir Technologies, which is known for revolutionizing technology deployed in intelligence, defense, and finance communities. In his early twenties, Joe helped to build a multi-billion dollar hedge fund, where he was one of the top traders. Our technical team is led by CTO Jason Mirra, and is composed of computer scientists from Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. Addepar is supported and advised by a group of international billionaires, and some of the most respected Silicon Valley venture capitalists.

If you join Addepar, you’ll be part of a group of talented, motivated and hungry individuals. We don’t believe in excessive meetings, processes or unnecessary contemplation, we’re a group of doers intent on changing one of the largest markets in the world. Our culture is driven by our core values of: measurement, fitness, meritocracy of ideas, alignment, action, creation of value and simplicity. It’s not rare to see half of our team spontaneously grab dinner or drinks after a hard day of work.

We keep a beautifully stocked fridge, provide laundry service and catered meals. You’ll learn a lot about finance and best in class programming, and have an opportunity to own a significant piece of the company and product.

im_asl··on Ask HN: Salary for Non-Technical Employee #1?
I believe the glut you might be referring to would be the high proportion of people that fancy themselves internet savants because they use twitter and facebook. Finding someone who knows how to leverage modern platforms and get quantifiable results will probably be harder then you imagine.

As for pay, I'm sure anyone who has proven themselves capable will demand a salary that is representative of their value.
