How did that turn out in the end? I presume having a real number is long-term optimal in terms of keeping customers compared to showing a fake number.

Ha, I also wrote a post on value once. https://azatris.github.io/true-value A bit weird and philosophical, rather than useful.

I do not know much about quantum computing. But could you explain what makes these computers quantum? Is it the configuration of these transistors to invoke some quantum phenomena?

We use it on servicing the backend of an e-commerce website. The code is now 2 decades old and wonderfully refactorable to modern code.

Gold is a decentralized store of value too, to be fair.

Yes, a decentralized international payment protocol is a good answer, but it also has a currency itself embedded in it. A type of currency to make this protocol work. The whole thing saves a lot of manpower and energy in the world, so in th

I guess it is wise to sell when the market is greedy and buy when it is fearful, as long as you have the foundations in check. I am more of a holder usually as well, unless I truly believe the price is so overvalued that it would take a lot

Where's the "call a friend" button in VLC?

How would that work? Which application supports it? I don't know of a native way to do this.

But given that you have a 4K RED setup in your bedroom with a studio microphone, what technology actually preserves most of the quality over the video call? Let's say both participants have fibre connections and located in the same cit

That's impressive. Do you think it will get better mentally at one point? I guess what drives it all is that the work is meaningful, am I correct?

I would call routine coding something like you have a set of constraints and you just have to manipulate code to fit these constraints.

Exactly. :)

You can easily do routine work for 8+ hours daily. The sort of work that can potentially be automated one day. What you call "coding" is routine enough in my book. But if you're doing something novel and solving hard problems

Since the content is curated strongly by your likes and dislikes, I am afraid your children might actually get some nasty stuff there. There's psychotic horror and soft porn. I don't think I'd trust my child with it unless th

I absolutely love using TikTok, but would give it up in a heartbeat for a Western replacement. It has absolutely brought more positivity into my life. I am specifically feeding the algorithm with this intent and I get what I asked for. It i

How do you differentiate between analytics that serve the author's ego and analytics that serve other purposes?

Title says 'A Recession Is Coming...', yet the contents of the article directly imply that none of the indicators clearly show that.

Would a solution to Facebook's monopoly be allowing other companies to interface into their systems and databases as it's more of a public good than a private one people can reasonably opt out of? So I'd expect something like

I am not lazy, but cannot quit Facebook, as it is a valuable resource for events and keeping contact with people, both close and far.

If what SpaceX is doing aligns with my values very well, but I live in Europe as a software engineer, how could I help the goals of this private company? Is it even possible?

I contacted lifespan.io with a similar question and they suggested I'd join their Discord server to have a deeper discussion about how to help.

I wish everyone used DDG for the sake of privacy, but I cannot. It just doesn't give me answers that I am expecting. It reads my mind less than Google and that's a problem.

I wish this had better branding. You can't say "just DuckDuckGo it". It has to have a single, or at most a double-syllable name that is easy to remember. Like Google or Bing. But maybe it's part of some sort of strategy

I am working in Tallinn. This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say anything good about the salaries here. I'm happy with mine, but it would be 3x higher in US and Switzerland (I have also worked there). What do you base th

If it made any sense to the common person, the front page shouldn't have "open source" in its description. Because your average grandma has no idea what that means. It's an insanely hard market to chew into and thus I ca
