Python is also a more transferable skill than Fortran. I bet that plays some role too in its popularity in the scientific community, which has many young anxious grad students/postdocs looking to ensure they are employable.

Yep. Hi Beats are real solid. GS movements really are massively better than others in the 5-10k price range

I hear ya, it does all makes sense tho Quartz jumping seconds was a novelty back in the day. No one now views it that way, being interested in it was a fad. Spring Drive now is not a fad, but IMO a sustained niche for enthusiasts. It’s be

I have a clock that is smooth. Bigger batteries help with that, compared to a small wristwatch battery. A quartz wristwatch with a smooth seconds hand? How long does the battery last?

One of the more fascinating aspects of these is how smooth the second hand movement is. Second hands on Quartz jump once / second. This is to lengthen the battery life. On mechanical watches, they are smoother than Quartz since the es

Breaking: more crowded places have more crime / sq. mileage Lol…SF has a crime problem, but this one data point is misleading. Crime /capita is far more relevant…and I imagine SF is still not great in that regard, but this article

Paper cash was an innovation to solve the issue that gold is hard to lug around. And very much an analogy of a L2 network It is arguably easier to counterfeit than gold (there is fools gold too…) The base layer is very secure. L2s will be

14 years is a lot different than 3 years. That a whole decade more for people to learn about it, and especially since the main features has not changed. Yes, there are improvements to the protocol, but the main thing has changed little over

How could ANYTHING stand the test of time and be worth 440 billion if it has no utility? Genuine question.

Yes, the FTXs and people who use them will suffer, sadly More regulation is needed The same happened before FDIC insured banks, fake banks that would “hold your paper cash safely”

How could something be worth 440 billion in market cap after a major correction not be valuable? This is after having a 14 year history of people learning about it, not some scam coin like LUNA that went from zero to 40 billion and to zero

Bitcoin “crashed” to a market cap of 440 billion USD. It is valued more than the vast majority of publicly traded companies. From that measure alone, why should anyone think “it’s dead”? Bitcoin ain’t tulips, ain’t the pets.com, etc, to thi

This was such a mass fail lol I remember thinking Open AI was doomed the day that launched, since that was a clear signal to me that he had zero sense of product market fit. Well, I was wrong. Good for him, seriously.

Contrary opinion: If feels very very very wrong to compare a search during April 2020 and now. Why? The year after April 2020 was a booming job market for SWEs. Hiring managers were competing for talent, 2021 was a boom year of low interest

I don’t think this is that contrarian of a view. I, for one, assumed that at least half of HN would agree with you. HN has a skew of people that are pro DDG, but not so much that this is all that contrarian of a view

Do the writers at NY Times simply not know he deliberately ran a fake exchange and quite literally stole money from people? Or is someone with deep pockets influencing things? Either way, a totally horrible look for NY Times

Hot take: Jack is just trying to help Elon not get in any legal trouble by saying this. This very much absolves Elon of wrongdoing in any legal arena Jack has not been the CEO for about a year now, a 50% reduction is hardly due to his choic

Careful. That 90% could lead to a bankruptcy soon. Changing employers might still mean a big drop in stock from when you start. Unemployment still hasn’t ticked down, the Fed is not done with its job of squashing inflation. Good companies

That’s fair. But I wouldn’t fully rule out a bail out…look at the crazy policy of UK cutting taxes recently

Good. They were massively over leveraged. I hope they don’t get bailed out by tax payers. Any customers with accounts should be free to withdraw, but please don’t let the company operate if they were acting recklessly

I agree with all this, except “don’t drink”. 2 drinks a week will very unlikely to lead you to you poor health in your 30s-50s, and likely well beyond that.
