I do feel like HN is having a rehash of a conversation we've had many times this past month. I'll post my favorite comment [1] on the matter of remote salary adjustment, which captures a key market effect we all seem to forget (Ba

Signal has spoken [1] at length about the issues of private contact discovery, and the many [2] solutions they've employed to minimize the amount of information that gets leaked. There's this intractable problem of requiring a soc

In the book "The Elephant in the Brain", there's an interesting observation that increased lying and politicking was necessary selection pressure for increased human intelligence. Similarly, I wonder if our increasingly low-t

This is actually an interesting question, and people are being entirely too dismissive in down-voting you. Everything from "assisted experiences" in VR to Neuralink could offer really interesting options for those going through so
