There's a very good BBC podcast about the north Korean and Russian hacking teams by BBC, one in Lazarus and one on evil Corp or something. Shoudnlt be hard to search for if interested.

Maybe I should clarify a bit what I meant. I'm not one of those "oh Steve jobs is a horrible person, he's so mean Yada Yada".

What I meant was he made some really horrible _business_ decisions while at NeXT, things that would be considered obvious today, like constant opinion changing on whim, constant product delays, product decisions that for the most part seemed to make the product more expensive and less functional, skipping important business meetings because oh-I'm-so-important when they really needed the sales etc. Granted I got all this from a podcast and didn't dig into the details myself, but I think for the large part he did objectively make some pretty horrible decisions in the early days at NeXT, although in the end it seems that he did seem to learn from them and turn things around, and arguably made him the guy he is more known for today.

Again, my amazement mostly stems from how he even had the chance to turn things around given the way the company was going and how he clearly still had some pretty talented people stick through the whole ordeal and end up producing valuable products through all that was going on.

I was listening to a podcast about Jobs in his role at Next and was surprised how terrible and disfunctional he was as a CEO, at least in the initial phases. I still find it incredible that the company managed to actually make something valuable in the end and have enough runway for him to figure out how to do the job properly. Like seriously, how did he even manage to retain any talent at all at the company, I still find it incredible.

Is it? how so?

Sorry if this seems naive but do students in America actually work that hard these days? Modern television and social media seem to suggest they are all on drugs and doing God knows what

How do I get on this gravy train

I have a feeling this might negatively impact Isomorphic as well since they also fall under Alphabet

this guy most dangerous motherf* man, so edgy, what do you expect

> The market for bounties is a circus, breadcrumbs for free work from people trying to 'make it'. > The number of CVSS vulns with a score above 8 that have floated across the front page of HN in the past year without anyone getting paid tells you that much.

You make it sound like there's a ton of people going around who can just dig up CVSS vulns above 8 and is making me all confused. Is that really happening? I have a single bounty on H1 just to show I could do it, and that still took ages and was a shitty bug.

A lot of Chinese apps still do. Mostly cause I guess they don't allow Google play store in China (? I think it's blocked, can't quite remember for sure)

I'm curious about this though, does a rich man actually wear the same pair of boots for 10 years?

That being said, I've noticed that a lot of clothes that I bought 10 years ago or so are of pretty high quality compared to today, (and no, they are not rich man's clothes). Some of them I actually have been wearing for more than 10 years now.

oh wow lol, did not expect that.

That's stock speculation for you, everything you do is wrong in retrospect

From the way they keep asking for donations, I thought they were constantly about to go out of business. Props to them though, good journalism is important

Oof. Interesting take.

When you check the results change

yea was gonna mention this as well lol

Huh. I didn't know geohot commented on geopolitics

Any chance could talk to you directly? See my profile for email

Problem with CAR-T is still too expensive to use...

people should be investing a lot more in early stage drug discovery biotechs! A lot more!!! (I'm doing an early stage drug discovery biotech)

I was going to mention this as well. This is pretty standard musk, delete large swaiths of stuff, see what breaks, and put the essential pieces back. It's supposed to be much faster than meticulous planning.

They break into people's houses in that show?

I see a merger in the works

What are off the shelf tools/methods people use now? Ida was pretty standard goto when I was into RE

He only uses that one when he's getting short squeezed

We should get prisoners to just randomly dig holes in the sand, a shovels length in diameter

If you want more entrepreneurial type stories.

When the heavens went on sale, by Ashly Vance, is pretty good. It details the early days of the space start-ups other than spaceX

The Founders: The Story of Paypal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley is also pretty good, describes the crazy days of early paypal.

Someone already mentioned Liftoff by Erig Berger. Starting a private space company is probably as hard as things get, and it describes the early days pretty well

What are they trying to do? Put out a hit list?
