What are you talking about? What "technological innovation" would Adam possibly bring to housing that improves social cohesion and affordability? Like, an app?

Not sure I follow your point. NYC is not affordable. Are you implying the New York real estate market is in a desirable state because people still want to live there despite exorbitant rents and never being able to buy a home?

Yeah I think the identification of "gifted" children is pretty imprecise and error prone. Also it's unclear the kids doing well (better than everyone else, I imagine) are the ones who'd most benefit from special treatmen

I don't care if people wanna WFH. Not for me but more power to them. However, I know several people with 2 full time jobs now. I believe this "drop in turnover" is largely because if you don't like your job you can just

I didn't say I have a problem with it existing personally, but rather that the statement isn't true. It's not personal. All the things you're asserting are also not true, you're just stating your opinion as fact. It

Cool tool, I'd use this. "When the stock market closes and opens" - I think the stock market opens at 9:30 though, not 9.

That's really not true. We live in a society and interact with each other, we're not isolated, atomized robots (despite Silicon Valley's best efforts).

They can't really be relying on 100% market share. Is this hyperbole? Or real?

I can share some. Had a similar experience as the parent comment. I do support "one big database" but it requires a dedicated db admin team to solve the tragedy of the commons problem. Say you have one big database. You have 300 e

This is not true, and it's rare to see someone so confidently be so wrong.

The problem is moer that we can't do anything about it. It's not enough.

At this point, unfortunately, "take responsibility" it just a PR phrase. It doesn't come with any consequences, responsibility, or costs to the individual in the corporate class.

I may be wrong about my assessment of the leadership's competence in this case (I'm not, but I can see how you may not be able to know) but that doesn't mean jealousy is the motive. Your skepticism should be equally applied t

But why does capped compensation help? The issue is not that people are highly paid, but that undeserving, corrupt, and even fraudulent people are highly paid. Capped compensation may well be a good idea (not sure), but it doesn't real

Without fail, there is always one comment on HN that is faux-insightful but really just being contrarian towards the general tone of other comments without much substance. You don't need to advocate for capped compensation or removing

I worked for a large, late stage, Softbank backed company. They brought in some C-suite execs while I was there. A CTO paid several million annually with large, public company experience. They were totally clueless, and the engineering org

How else could Coinbase have ended up? It's a company for people to speculate on digital tokens. There's no grand mission to the thing, his rhetoric has always struck me as hollow and self-serving. "Create more economic freed
