Now I'm intrigued but I'm assuming something like jail/prison. :D

The parts I found most interesting:

> Effect of sexual constraints: Increased sexual constraints, either pre or post-nuptial, always led to increased flourishing of a culture. Conversely, increased sexual freedom always led to the collapse of a culture three generations later.

> Highest flourishing of culture: The most powerful combination was pre-nuptial chastity coupled with “absolute monogamy”. Rationalist cultures that retained this combination for at least three generations exceeded all other cultures in every area, including literature, art, science, furniture, architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Only three out of the eighty-six cultures studied ever attained this level.

Can you expand on this? Super interested :).

From what I've been told you shouldn't have anything other than water during fasting (for IF). That includes coffee & tea.

Just a heads up but if you click on the video with the pop up overlay & play it, then exit/close the modal, the video will continue playing in the background.

The article is paywalled for me. Anyone have another link possibly?

This doesn't really answer the persons question in my opinion. Are we supposed to assume this person has a BS in Computer Science? In that case it's more like 4.5 years and not 6 months.

This article states that:

"Bitcoin’s initial code had a poker client included."

Does anyone have more information about this? I had no idea this was the case.

Why on earth is that unfortunate? Seems like a positive thing to me, even if some people don't make it to the pinnacle of their craft so what? If someone has gainful employment and meaning in their life I see that as a net positive.

Article is behind a paywall unfortunately. Any help? :)

Intermittent fasting changed my life. I've quit coffee, eat way healthier and generally feel better & have a uplifted outlook on life. I'd definitely recommend the Zero app. I do the 13 hour fast but sometimes will go up to 15-16-17 hours whenever possible. Also don't forget to take a cheat day every now and then!

Honest question, why would competent developers subject themselves to this kind of treatment? If a company ever "requested" that I work Saturday or Sunday I'd be gone later that same day.

Loved this story. Your writing style is succinct & speaks to the heart. You really should write more essays if possible (found only 4 here: https://www.deepsouthventures.com/essays).

> According to court documents obtained by ZDNet, and the suspect, Vishwanath Akuthota, 27, filmed himself while destroying some of the computers.

Never understood why people film their own crimes?

What city if you don't mind me asking? Trying to move outta one of the "Tech hubs" in the US and move somewhere where the rents/lifestyle is more manageable :).

> My brains works just fine.

I'm sure this wasn't meant to be funny but it gave me a good laugh and brightened up my morning so thank you! :)

> In some ways, student debt is similar to land in that it can provide a return on investment that allows for paying off the debt over time.

Comparing student debt to buying land is funny.

At least with land you are guaranteed to be the owner of an asset. Something physical, a location, that other folks might at some point pay a price for (regardless of what you paid).

Student loans don't guarantee anything. :)

A lot of the comments here are missing the real issue here which is that while you may not agree with the content of ZeroHedge this sets an eery precedent for future Facebook policing of what is & isn't allowed on its network.

From the article: "the company plans to use the new funding to accelerate its go-to-market strategy and continue to invest in the Redis community and product development."

> As part of that new mandate, it has established a monthly transaction limit for remittances whilst collecting taxes of up to 15% of the transaction amount.

Holy cow 15% is quite insane in terms of comparisons to other countries.

> World Bank statistics point to average remittance fees worldwide ranging from 5.2% to 9.4%.

Was amazed when I saw the recommendation on the top comment. My fiancé recommended me this book and I just finished it on my commute this morning (this specific translation). Still thinking about it! Wonderful book, super engaging and just absolutely beautifully written. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended!

That confetti button is addicting! Well done. I also totally agree that the MySpace era was one of the funnest on the internet.

Holy cow this article is a trainwreck. I have no sympathy for people like this.

Definitely not a dead thing in my experience. All of my past jobs have reached out to all my provided references (as they confirmed with me after) to get a sense of the type of work I did & how it was to work with me.

Buying a Canada Goose jacket off Amazon... what could go wrong!? They have authorized retailers on their website for a reason. :)

Super fun, your little brother did a great job!

Only criticism I would say is to add some directions if possible, even though for most people it's common sense it took me a little while to figure out I needed to use my keyboard :P.

That's the thing; not even sure what textbook to start with. Calculus?

> I'm an atheist

Don't worry! You can still use SQLite as God is infinite in his grace.

Interesting to note that this was removed off the front page of HN just now.

The big three tech companies need to be broken up. Too much power in the hands of a few. Don't like what your opponents are saying? Label them "hate speech", close down their networks & move on. You can't be heard if you don't have a voice.

They (the big three) should not be allowed to own our internet interactions anymore than the phone company could listen to and profit from our conversations or regulate what we talk about.
