> whining about long hours I could get on board with the rest of your list, but this struck me as odd to include. Can you elaborate how it fits into that list?

Sounds like that was potentially a good way to weed out a terrible place to work.

I guess I would say the high level functions of public key cryptography aren't that hard to grasp. Things like "hey either one of these keys can encrypt something the other one can decrypt and vise versa" is pretty straightfo

Can you give me a better definition of "personal" vs "private", because I'm seeing all sorts of problems there.

Odd. I would only assume people kept possessions they made (tools, weapons, trinkets, etc.) prior to any formal states existing (or pooled them voluntarily). But, then, you get into _de facto_ states and what that potentially means.

Private property requires that a private individual stake a claim to it. Private property is mutually exclusive of a state. The state [typically] is the primary violator of private property by enforcement of some shared mode.

Another frustration with the RPi cluster is the arm requirement. If you're only building/running your own stuff, that's fine, but finding containers and helm charts that support arm can be frustratingly difficult. This is spe

"The Whole Brain Child" is an excellent primer on how children's brains work and behaviors are exhibited, and from researchers in this area. I'm now listening to the follow-up "No-Drama Discipline", and hoping

Can you explain more in terms of the planet side of things? I get that you think the wealth can be generated, but I think the comment you are responding to is referring to how can the planet support that level of consumption?

I am legitimately curious how a government entity can get a patent. Shouldn't anything funded with tax dollars automatically get put into the public domain?

I'd rather you write the code. Keep up the good work. Hopefully these changes will allow you more time to focus on adding value to the vast majority of users. If a small subset of folks need the marginal functionality, it should be up

One of my hobbies is birding: specifically going out and trying to count all the birds I can find down to a species level. This requires a good ear to do well. Many times I find myself closing my eyes and pausing all bodily motion to really

It's the government's requirements for filing 10-Ks and 10-Qs that generate this type of behavior. Plenty of examples out there where capital-raising efforts, and therefore investment decisions are stymied by markets that are driv

What's the solution to the problem of hating the Content Marketing game? I think the fear of having to deal with writing spam blogs/emails is one of the bigger mental hurdles to my eagerness to build a product like this.

I've also been thinking about the whole "deflationary" nature of BTC (scare quotes intended), and the claims that it leads to an economy that cannot grow (the typical standard economics argument for government-controlled curr

Who cares what the "local government" wants, what do the people want? The people could probably care less about huge lines being run if they can get their internet faster and cheaper.

To be fair, the "pursuit" of those things are considered natural rights. Not the things themselves. Not saying that a right to privacy doesn't exist. I think it exists because a combination of other rights DO exist. But right

At least when you talk about reviewing code that "someone wrote in a month", note that a quick `rm -rf .git; git init; git add *; git commit` works wonders for others' perception of how quickly you can produce code. :)

If they are operated completely independently, then why conflation with CMU/academics when churning sympathy? The fact is, NREC and Uber are both businesses.

If you're good with vim (and particularly with vim macros), `vidir` is indispensable.

And you have a single paragraph explaining anything at all as to why you think that will happen, and it's basically, "too much efficiency will ruin capitalism." I'm going to need more convincing than that.

This isn't terribly difficult to do with simple searching: "has:attachment larger:20M" Just use a search like above, and adjust the size down as you need to pull more items into the search. (Not saying the chrome extension mi

"26% of them see themselves as spiritual" Can someone reconcile this for me? Wouldn't "spiritual" imply something along the lines of spirits/supernatural?

The concept of a cryptocurrency subsumes traditional currency. You cannot just say, "bitcoin is not a currency". Well of course it isn't! It's an entirely different animal. It would be like saying the Internet is not a p
