In what way has 'the media' pushed crypto is bad? Seems like every celebrity and talk show host was pushing NFT's, be it Kardasians, Kimmel, Fallon, even Bill Murray released a collection 1 month ago. Ultra stars like Tom Bra

Trololol PoolTogether is literally a lottery scheme. How is that in anyway innovative and new? Looks like another polished scam to take advantage of ignorant users, or 'degens' in crypto vernacular.

I hate when crypto bros assume 'we don't get it'. I wasted a year of my life working for a crypto company, I've actually committed code to Ethereum through the Geth project. I learned it's all a casino of completely

I'll take you up on that challenge. I can open open up my Wells Fargo app and initiate a wire transfer within 5 minutes. In fact, I sent $1000 to a home contractors bank account earlier this week for no fee. And yes, WF sent me email u

My remote org had an onsite this past week. I forgot how much I hate 'socializing' and how useless water cooler talk is. They tried their best to make it enjoyable but I am so much happier in my home office with no background nois

I worked at a security consulting firm that had an 8 GPU password cracking rig. Teams would be able to send it hashes obtained during assessments/red teams and try to discover passwords. I was not doing that type of work so I'm no

The vast majority of tech offices are in Soma with some in Financial district. There are literally tens of thousands of pedestrians and tourists walking around and workers going to offices everyday in that area. It is not a dystopian hellho

Texas is very diverse. I was born in El Paso in west Texas where my high school peers making $70k can still buy a house and support a stay at home parent. Median home price is $182k and meals and labor are so much cheaper. Most of my colleg

Try an indica strain, they are grown for the full-body effects, increasing deep relaxation, and reducing insomnia. The effects you are describing are those of sativa strains, know for the 'head high' and creativity boost.

I have friends that joke that Crypto was introduced by alien lifeforms or time travelers as a way to burn our environment down before reaching Stage 2 of the Kardashev scale[0]. Human greed is too powerful for us to ignore the negative impa

A bunch of great answers. I've been in offensive security for ~10 years now and am a staff at one of these billion dollar SV tech companies now. If you want to do pentesting (though i prefer the team offensive security) my advice is to

My coworker had a breathalyzer. Kombucha and mouthwash would pretty easily trigger the alarm. But the text makes it seem like they would position cameras toward your face and do analysis on impairment indicators like eye movement.

Another Austinite here, we are experiencing massive growth and the line about not being the right size is foolish. The anti-development crowd said the same thing during our last rail vote when the city was half the size in the early 2000&#x
