Chiang Kai-shek and madame shek and big eared du, were horrible. But better than Mao? In the long term?
ngold··on The high-stakes race to engineer new psychedelic drugs
Couldn't agree more. One of my best trips was in a closet reading Peters principle.
ngold··on TikTok and the Fall of the Social-Media Giants
No disrespect, but....Chinese spying company? It's free and you are definitely not the product, but your information and contacts and photos and videos sure look tasty to the CCP.
ngold··on TikTok and the Fall of the Social-Media Giants

ngold··on TerraUSD crash led to vanished savings, shattered dreams
Just remind them of Warren buffets 10 year bet on index funds, and he made that right before the 2008 collapse. Still won.
ngold··on Finland will seek NATO membership immediately
That is rather apt. And mirroring Russian claims to disarm nazis in Ukraine and take over the government in 3 days. Only to get sanctioned into economic doom, and have Ukraine forever supplied with the teeth of all western nations. It did not work out so well. We are all rooting for spinal cancer.
ngold··on Today’s CEOs are essentially carnival barkers (2021)
Most journalists have the same path. Rich parents that can afford good schools and more importantly, internships unpaid in cities like new york.

So all your news is filtered mostly by the rich, hence the success of union busting in the minds of most Americans.

ngold··on Ask HN: Is the EULA on my new $30k RED cinema camera legal?
It's the user data selling I would be concerned about. They are obviously getting another revenue stream from people that can afford 30k cameras. Which is a godamn goldmine for data sets.
ngold··on 'Bloodworms' harvest copper for metal jaws
They will skip the industrial age, evolve fusion generators as stomachs, and be impervious to deep space. Launching themselves into the universe with large trebuchets and fusion fart themselves into orbit.
ngold··on Missing wheat from the war is less than 1% of global wheat crop
On a side tangent, wasn't Egypt the bread basket of rome? What happened there? Did the Nile dry up?
ngold··on How to talk to your boss about open source
I would like to know as an employer. How to talk to employees respectively about open source? This is a problem from the ground up, nor a top down problem.
ngold··on How much do founders pay themselves? A European data set
Personally, if you spend several years. Make sure your ceo pay is at least a million the first year.

Pay for your time and if it all goes south, a couple months of developer pay to try something new.

ngold··on Ask HN: How do you deal with lies on the internet?
It's the internet.

Rule 1. Be anonymous, see rule 2

Rule 2. Everything is a scam

Rule 3. Everyone is lying, see rule 2.

ngold··on Russian central bank confirms block on foreign bids to sell Russian securities
Unless oligarchs need massive amounts of dollars fast? Then it just becomes a run on the bank.

Like middle class russia is waiting for at ms to run dry.

Such a bummer for everyone.

ngold··on New atomic clock loses only one second every 300B years
A super fascinating journal would be mit failed experiments. And what happened.
ngold··on Show HN: Full text search on 630M US court cases
I'm curious as well. Reddit me at napoleongoldfinger if that's cool?
ngold··on Show HN: Full text search on 630M US court cases
So poor people with an interest in surgery should have zero access to medical journals? This is all just taxpayer funded information that you and I pay for every year in taxes.
ngold··on Structured Procrastination (1995)
As an indy game dev. It is tough to keep on task. I fail miserably all the time. But I'm better than I was.
ngold··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
And now I'm signed up to the system. It's terrifying.

At any point. You're done.

Hence the nothing clause.

I'm sure any game I submit to the play will be wrapped in googs analytics.

No matter what my privacy police says.

ngold··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
Godspeed building any browser. I know it's just for research, but I miss options. Palemoon was great until it imploded.
ngold··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
True.

The sheer scale of not giving a crap is what is truly impressive. Alphabet has built a monster system meant solely to not have a phone number. That's a scary innovation.

Disclaimer. I'm a new Google play thing, by giving them money. Just registered a website through them and am about to release a game on the playstore. Fully dependant on zero custom service now.

The one thing I've never understood about google. Some sort of law for a trillion dollar company to have customer service or something.

Google should be employing 10's of thousands of customer service employees to take calls to troubleshoot their customers issues.

On a side note.

Here is my.... the simplest website you have seen since 1989.

https://simplegametime.com

I'm not running a user data farm. I just want to make stupid games, like...

P.S. Zero advertising for anything including my game. Just a 7 line privacy policy. Don't need much more.

ngold··on SugarCoat: Private browsing without breaking the web
The thing I find crazy is every news publication all the way up to the new york time's, fired there century old ad department, overnight.

In favor of third party ads.

If they kept their ad department. Ads would be native with the article.

ngold··on Overloaded: Is there simply too much culture?
On the news tip. I do wish there was something like ombudsman for news and tracks it over time.
ngold··on Overloaded: Is there simply too much culture?
At 42 I'm still pretty hip to the fun of change.
ngold··on Ask HN: What you up to? (Who doesn't want to be hired?)
Chickenpants escapes spooky town. Should have been released a week ago, but got sick for a week.

Now I'm back to struggling with static classes.

ngold··on Leaded fuel reduced IQ of children born before 1990
Reminds me of the German that invented pulling nitrogen out of the air to be used in fertilizers, saving hundreds of millions of lives. WW1 rolls around and he invents gas warfare.
