So facts are offensive? I don't see any rebuttal to the facts presented in the article unfortunately. Anyone knows facts that disprove his?

Humans work in cycles. So, you already had the right hunch. You don't really have a good direction on a random day and can't really get into the zone? Fix some small bugs for 2h and then call it quits, go to the gym, drink beer wi

Yes Bitcoin is slow. We already have blockchains that are near infinitely scalable and decentralized with Elastos, IOTA (at scale) and Holochain with its agent-centric architecture instead of data-centric architecture as most blockchains ha

It only started last year. The ventures that he takes on take normal companies a decade(s) to become commercially viable. If he doesn't instantly have full products out, he has failed? Why the heck would you expect that??

These videos are bullshit. I watched the boring compny video and all he says is that his concept have been known before him. Yes, duh. But he was the first to make them usable as commercial products by making them 10x cheaper. Anyone can ma

You have 2 options. 1. You rewrite the code. You said you would hate that, so not an option 2. You develop on top of the spaghetti code. You said you would hate that. So, no matter how, you would hate working at this job. That's why th

The problem is, criminalization of pot does far more harm to society than decriminalization. So, while there might be downsides of decriminalization, the downsides of criminalization far outweight the former.

Is it really that competitive these days after uni when you have "no experience" and are a junior dev? I assume you have a top 10% GPA? I always hear in the bay area you get $150,000 straight out of uni, at least when you're

Replacing means that Apple doesn't innovate further. This always happens with big companies, Nokia, Ericsson, Yahoo, they are replaced by new companies. 5 years ahead for the big company means no progress. Apple is where it was 5 years

You can do a tonsillotimoy instead of a tonsillectomy. It's a much less invasive surgery and they only burn down your tonsils bit by bit and you can leave the next day.

The main fallacy like you see in this thread is that it everyone thinks it needs to seem unintentional, so that you're not "needy". This is a big fallacy. Don't try to make it seem coincidental, instead make a real effor

Or focus on cryptocurrencies that are much more scalable and decentralized than Bitcoin and don't use Proof of work as a consensus mechanism, such as 1. Skycoin, Web of Trust 2. Iota, Tangle 3. Aeternity and soon alsk Ethereum with PoS

Yes a combination of what you mentioned, plus the possibility that it'll all fail (which happens 90% of the time), which wasn't really something you thought about when you were still building.

Your analysis isn't really a good one, since Proof of Work consensus through mining, isn't really used anymore by the new coins. It seems you're too focused on a specific decentralized consensus solution, while there are alre

Yes Bitcoin is vulnerable to a 51% attack right now and so are all other PoW coins. That's why crypto is still in its infancy.

Yeah and then you can simply change the movie pass feature and add some other type of subscription model and sell stuff to your user base. It's a smart way to grow your app, but they need to be smart to sell something good to monetize
