Re:Joe Rogan, Parody of the Open Mind on Friday September 24, 2021 @12:33AM (#28638666)
Rogan often has very left leaning guests including scientists, authors, and politiciana. They just get less coverage. For example, Rogan had Bernie Sanders as a guest and openly endorsed him.

What's powerful about it is that it's available to literally anyone as opposed to only financial institutions.
I'm willing to take a raise and never go into the office again.
This still happened as recently as 100 years ago. Con men would set up false banks in small towns and make off with a lotnof money. Lookup Yellow Kid Weil.

On most platforms, yes, and its part of the appeal.
This would tarnish their reputation
For the huge sales yes, but it's not for nothing. They are pouring 10s of millions into NFTs as a land grab in a potential new economy. If they lose it, nbd, since they have "fuck you" money anyway.

I should hope at C level comp levels, these folks can manage their money well enough to weather a multi year dry spell after a few years of gainful employment.
Maybe if there was a little less regulation in the first place, things like bitcoin wouldn't have as much appeal as they do.
Re:Starlink Satellites Tracker on Friday May 07, 2021 @05:57PM (#27081322)
It's introducing a fuck ton of low orbit debris that is already interfering with astronomical research. Satellites that fail or break are stuck up there.
I mean, he still probably forged checks, no?

It has found a broad use case: hodl.
What if they left because the company was imploding and 1/3 of their colleagues were leaving?

Half day long take home exercise are a huge red flag and disrespectful of the candidates time. Ours takes at most 1 hr.

My understanding is that it's very rare for an advance clawback to take place even if sales come in under.

Re:Beeple Mania on Wednesday February 24, 2021 @09:33PM (#26259024)
I don't agree. A lot of NFT artists come from humble roots, poverty even and these are their first sales. If you look beyond hyped artists like beeple, it looks a lot more like patreon for digital art
As someone who has interviewed many candidates for location independent tech work, my experience is that true talent is in the minority.
Re:“Location-Based Pay” – Who are we to complain? on Sunday February 14, 2021 @03:22PM (#26135885)
It wont end, just be reserved for the elite, much like it is today. Few Average Joes are making that 400k total comp.

But you don't have to share it with cryptokitties yet...
Re:Is the US Banning Crypto Wallets? on Thursday December 03, 2020 @08:19AM (#25288521)
Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency.
This is common when you're a kid out of college, but a few years go by and living with other people sucks.
Red pilling is a term allegedly coopted by the alt right, and these days the definition is closer to the snopes definition than a matrix reference, which is unfortunate.

Back in the early days of csaw it was easy as hell. There wasnt a lot of competition.

I watched the movie recently too and was shocked at how they were able to make such a boring film out of such incredible footage. It would have been better watched on mute while music played. He did seem like a nice guy though.
