It's saying to be careful when celebrating. Don't take anyone's eye out with the champaigne cork. Make sure there is a designated driver. Etc.

The best thing they could do beyond EliRivers comment is, if the circumstances for, have an open conversation about what the company can improve. And then say let's keep in touch if the new job doesn't work for you maybe we can ta

I think the users privacy should count for something. This is a betrayal in my book.

Why did you decide to make this a site rather than a desktop app? This is a private database as I see it, so there is no need for it to be online. And keeping it offline would be good for privacy, and would make it easy for anyone to downlo

Thanks, but while ASICs may not be a threat, in general finely tuned beefy machines might be? So that running this in a browser would be as efficient as mining litecoin in a browser?

How the data is used and the scrape frequency are also factors. Google won't bombard your site with requests and at worst will cache data but not try to make use of it.

This is good until the ASICS come in force and make mining in the browser useless.

It's not entirely ethical because the advertiser gets ripped off. It increases their cost and reduces what they are prepared to pay for ads. If everyone else used it, content creators wouldn't get paid eventually. If YouTube was i

Externialities. Like climate change? Yep we've got that under complete control. Another good example of chasing the mighty fractionally reserved greenback: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14495950

Value for society != Roi There are so many examples of this I don't know where to begin. Ok I'll start: Fracking.

Not necessarily. Deaf, blind, dwarfs, old (e.g. 70), very young (e.g. 16), single fathers and amputees would all be minorities that could apply to white males.

That's a good point but need to be careful not to conflate racist issues with general shit place to work issues.

I don't think the people living on the streets are tech workers. Can't telecommute janitorial work.

A reasoned response is a red flag?

It means the education system is design to pump out workers rather than thinkers. Taking this to the logical conclusion, why teach science, history or sport in high schools? Low ROI. Stuff that! Why not make the coding bootcamp start at kin

Where 19990 lost their investment due to a forgotten password, a fried HDD or Mtgox. The other 10 however are now chazillionaires.

And they'll all offer coding bootcamps, for max ROI, and nothing else. Future doctors can be imported.

As long as there is a limited supply, speculators and draconian governments and crime it'll keep going up. I'll bet it'll keep going up. Threats are hacks, quantum computers and crypto currency competition.
