IPFS is really just a mix of a torrent tracker with a torrent client, but once IPFS VMs start paying for themselves, people will sign-up in masses. I guess that's what Filecoin is about. Edit: The way I see filecoin working is anyone c

My interpretation of this message is that Google spends $20 billions/quarter and as the ad revenue has dried up, Google will have to spend its $100 billions of savings or consider other options. As far as employees are concerned, $6 bi

...and it hurts America in the long term. It's a completely backwards idea to take away opportunities from the society members with highest potential. The inevitable outcome of this will be stagnation.

Cymatics. It's sound interference drawing some peculiarly complex, but cool looking patterns. Edit: I've tried to find actual math behind those pictures and only found piles of pseudoscience. There's a CymaScope app that draw

Here's another observation from an armchair economist. Money flow upwards by forces of debt and contracts. If we short circuit the very top with the very bottom, money will start flowing inside this loop. If we don't form this loo

With skillful division and distribution techniques, it's only $5,000 per person.

This is the good old trick often done by startups: founders & investors create and generously give themselves a lot of shares, diluting the share of rank-and-file employees to zero. Here's some deep analysis from a armchair economi

TBH, $10M per senator per year is only $1 billion/year - a rounding error for America. And when a senator has F-U money, there is little incentive for him to take dirty money (true sociopaths will take both, of course).

I don't get it. The Big Pharma makes some serious money and it needs qualified chemists to make new drugs. The complexity of making these drugs is so high that there should only few chemists good enough for the job.

That's some really complex mess. How much do these chemists get paid?

Why do you think DNA includes everything?

Let's put it straight: most diverse candidates are given 2 attempts; while most regular candidates are given 1 attempt.

In that case you just slack off hard and do interviewing almost full time.

DNA by itself doesn't produce a human or a cell. You need another functional cell or human to create a replica. I would compare DNA with instructions to create a new car: the instructions are incomplete and assume the existence of a ca

I think there are actually a lot of Paula Beans in FANGs, they just perform at an entirely different level. In short, in order to be called out an incompetent liar, someone needs to make an assessment, but if the domain is too complex, if t

There is a good chance that you're more qualified than all your interviewers except the 3rd one, who looks like a tenured "staff" engineer or manager. This is the reason you don't leave your job before you've landed

That's not entirely true because the bar isn't deterministic. For example, diverse candidates are given two attempts to pass a phone screen.

I'd need to prove it, they'd skillfully dodge the request, I'd have to hire expensive lawyers (500/hr) and make a more formal request that's harder to dodge, they'd say the data is distributed across the globe

It's interesting how collecting or distributing files with music is a grave crime and corporations can take down anything they don't like with a half-assed DMCA request, with no repercussions for "mistakes", but a person

This entire thread will be taken down shortly. I've noticed the interesting pattern of comments being downvoted or flagged if they mention the lab.

"China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology." In fact, when all this started, China was quite open ab

Why would a lockdown help? The virus will live in some animals and humans and once the lockdown is over, the spread will resume.

Didn't the virus start from the Wuhan virus lab?

That's expected. All the service industry workers are in that age range and can't afford to skip work because of some coronavirus.

For someone making $400k, a whatever fee they have to offer wouldn't be worth 15 minutes of time. And the idea of uploading such a personal document as W-2 seems laughable. The more believable option is the informal offer letter with n

If there are about 100k infected in the US today and this number grows 10x per week, we are 1 month from the entire country being infected. With 20% requiring hospitalization, it will be a blood bath. There will be nobody to benefit from th
