That’s like saying I don’t see why anyone would spend cash when they could buy index funds instead (if you believe index funds will only go up).

Wasting years of your life locked up is already disincentive enough. Exploitive forced/hard/hazardous labor isn’t necessary. Same with being unable to afford common necessities, or being raped in prison. These just make the experi

So if you eat less, your body eventually adjusts so that you're satiated earlier. People say that your "stomach shrinks" when you eat less, but it's really just your appetite that does. When you eat a meal you should als

Getting to level 99 or playing hardcore mode isn’t the objective for 99+% of players. Diablo 2 is a fairly forgiving and moderately casual game imo. Most builds require only one skill for damage, and respeccing and how easy it is to get a c

Which is why I mentioned those three in particular, pretty easy to get everyone to use one.

WhatsApp, Messenger, or even Instagram are all potential alternatives. All from the Facebook family.

The recently popular Lost Ark is another video game by Korea. I'm surprised you've never heard of the kpop groups BTS or Blackpink in Germany.

Nope, don't think any commercial version has that rule. Seems like a house rule or a misunderstanding of the official ruleset.

Yes. Bitcoin can be validated with with regular hardware, thus full nodes are cheap and ubiquitous and results in a system that's highly decentralized. Even if a 51% were to hypothetically happen with miners, the full nodes will stop i

If every country refused to trade with Russia, would it become one of the poorest countries in the world?

If the lightning network isn’t possible, why is it up and running with thousands of people using it?

It's not like people don't know, it's more like there's not much we can do about it (other than voting). It's up to governments to come up with and enforce laws that prevent corporations from releasing millions of m

I'm surprised that message irked you that much, doesn't sound that bad to me. Almost sounds sincere, rather than sarcastic.

TikTok has plenty of misinformation, Twitter too.

I don't use the main Facebook app much, but I use Instagram and Messenger daily, Whatsapp sometimes as well. What do you use for your friend group chats?

That's why I said, unless you were already a senior engineer (L5), which isn't really a viable 3 year plan for most people. You can live cheaper than 3.5k, sure, but that's a fairly typical amount for a single person living n

It depends what you mean by a lot. It's a lot, but is it rich (in the US)? No. According to several surveys held in the US, around $2.5M was what most considered enough to be considered wealthy. However, with recent inflation, that fig

I don't think it would be close at all, unless you were already a senior engineer (and even then would require amazing stock appreciation). Also, the jump between levels at top companies/FAANG is around 50%, not 100%. • Junior eng

Hasn't he already been ordered to pay $100M in damages? https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/12/06/craig-wright-fou... Why is this guy still scamming? Did he not learn his lesson?

Yup, don’t regret spending 2 months for a $250k raise one bit. The vast majority of tech companies including startups are asking algorithm style questions these days. It’s adapt or die.

Yup, would much rather do a 30 minute phone screen than a "2 hour" take home (usually more like 4 hours with all the requirements needed for the project, unless you already have a decent framework you're working off of).

It was 2019, so things may have changed but I doubt it. Maybe I was lucky? Or maybe you were unlucky. I also applied as a Senior SWE (mobile) if that makes any difference. Out of the 12 companies I applied for I was given 2 hards (both were

Yeah, I practiced leetcode by spending about an hour a day for 2 months, but I had only done around 60 LC total (25 medium, 35 easy). I didn't feel a need to do much more as they had very similar patterns. I did attempt the ones I had

The model 3 and y is on that top 10 list as well, and they're not quite luxury goods.
