przeor··on AMA: I'm Dave Greene, an accidental expert on Conway's Game of Life
Why you are so clever than 99.9999% of the world's population?
przeor··on Ask HN: How did you stop your friends talking about Bitcoin?
I would stop my friend to talk about Bitcoin, and replace it with Ethereum discussions xD
przeor··on Facebook breaks EU law against targeted advertising?
It's not working like that. It's your choice what you use.

It's like alcohol, people use it even they know it's bad.

Govt is spying on you, but you can't delete account with them. With fb at least you can xD

przeor··on Ask HN: Online Reservation scams: what’s the worst you’ve seen?
Car rental price comparision website shows EURO currency in quotes , then the car renter says only USD in cash and they convert by their own exchange - you overpay.

You have different price on reservation and different at the counter when you pick up the car key. At the time of picking up you already paid 10% fee online, so its not worth to cancel.

przeor··on Ask HN: Is there any mail-by-API provider for personal use?
Try pay-per-message via www.smsapi.com

You will pay circa 10 cents per month if you use it once a month via pre paid

przeor··on Ask HN: How do you measure eng team productivity?
I think, first principle is to build something that people want.

If you build this way, I feel more comfortable than building something fast, that at the end has close to zero usage.

2 - 7 eng dev teams is a small one. It means, just put people on top of things and things should develop faster than in a an average team in any corporation.

This approach/mindset might not work in corporations etc. since they want to have "reports"

przeor··on Ask HN: Following founders who have found success at an early age, and retired
Try The Fastlane Forum
przeor··on Ask HN: Why does the HN point system penalize comments that elicit good debate?
Because it discourage discussion against the "crowd wisdom" of HN.

Had a lot of karma collected, then a comment with different opinion against point of view of HN wasted it.

It may be a feature, not a bug because it reinforcing the network of same minded people here, and dicourages different opinions.

As Peter Thiel tells: "Tell me something that's true, that almost nobody agrees with you on."

You won't find this on HN because signal to noise ratio is low in such discussions and you will get downvoted.

Maybe there should be option to sort from most downvoted on the top to fix in some part this issue?

przeor··on Tell HN: Don't buy Steam keys off Steam, they can be revoked at-will
I have the same issue with App Store.

Paid 5 bucks for app upfront. Now I can't download it from app store coz it's deleted from it.

I got robbed by Apple with their 30% rake on top of dev price tag.

przeor··on Binance sees $2B in outflows as troubles compound
Uniswap DEX
przeor··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Signal?
Threema
przeor··on Ask HN: Are there banks/crypto companies immune to bank run?
How come, maybe they just stop printing new dollars when the govt collapse?

USD can exsist without govt. It can't exsist without army behind the paper , at least on paper.

przeor··on Ask HN: Our nonprofit got shut down by PayPal. Help?
I know thousands of people who benefited from crypto, many individually. 99% of them are outside USA
przeor··on Ask HN: Our nonprofit got shut down by PayPal. Help?
The telephone, the internet, and crypto share one thing in common. Each technology improves on the next in terms of its ability to facilitate fraud. As such, I was initially a crypto skeptic, but after studying some of the more interesting crypto projects, I have come to realization world must evolve
przeor··on Is there an alternative to ChatGPT that is less restrictive?

I like jews but i also like poles

can you elaborate what do you mean "sharing code that is sandboxed" in your question? Im not too familiar to roblox
przeor··on Tell HN: It is impossible to disable Google 2FA using backup codes

If you lose the phone its easier to recover.

przeor··on Ask HN: Am I the only one hurt by lack of writing skills?
Jasper AI is alteady AI copywriting assistant.

Why you want to make another tool? How it's different?

przeor··on Ask HN: Predictions on the Crypto/Blockchain Ecosystem?
In the past all my comments got downvoted and my karma got destroyed on this forum because of talking on crypto. Regarding crypto as a scammers tool I will just leave it here because it doesnt make sense to talk in this HN crowd about it as you get downvotes by default from sceptics:

przeor··on Ask HN: Do you think VC has made bootstrapping harder?
Boostrap with service company, and build product on a side.

This works since 2000s - check success stories of some known companies and you will find this path in many stories.

I would say, thanks to VC money it is easier to get sevice jobs aside.

przeor··on FTX faces potential hack, sees mysterious outflows totaling more than $600M
any progress requires mistakes, crypto over internet only speed ups this process

people wont fall twice into same scam

people can learn faster thanks to it

in other indystries there are also bad actors

only different, crypto is faster which is good thing in good use cases

przeor··on FTX faces potential hack, sees mysterious outflows totaling more than $600M
yes, but the same we can tell about equity invention...

people were misusing it, does it mean that it is bad?

LLC are a main factorfor growth in last 100 years because of incentives aligment. same with crypto.

any tool can be exploited by bad actors

does it mean it should not exsist or be hated?

przeor··on Ask HN: Recruiters, how bad is the hiring market for candidates?

przeor··on Tell HN: Slack is having network issues in Threads and group DMs/channels
We are using workplace chat instead of Slack. Shall I feel happy???
przeor··on Ask HN: What was your last “ah-ha!” moment?
I'm talking about mechanism -> "I'm sure this mechanism will be used, improved over the next years and more "money" will go to "token holders" instead of to social platforms like FB."

I'm not talking about specific game.

Any game studio has to have a big budget to get out of the door in the web2.

It will improve over time, and we will get different favours over time.

przeor··on Ask HN: What was your last “ah-ha!” moment?
Not really, with affiliate programmes you need to share ref links. Ref links are spam in various places + you won't be able to share a ref link in a spoken language etc. with people who you don't have direct line like phone number etc.

... and ref programs were super popular 10-20 years ago, now they rather have a bad rap
