I've heard it called "Jewy Duty" by some members of the tribe, always got a laugh out of that. It's not a bad time to be working if you don't have major commitments.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have some sort of PTSD from a very humbling mushroom trip almost 15 years ago. Never had anxiety attacks before that.

A grift indeed, but the target market are boomer retirees. Millennials are more likely to have some kind of sprinter conversion.

A lot of people use it, but not everyone is open about it. I wouldn't use it though personally.

Fortunately, they're not!

I'm a fan of most things Web3, but this is so dumb.

I think we can have it very quickly if someone threw a ton of money at it. The question is who wants to take that bet and run at a loss for ages.

I don't know, because my memory of it is vague at this point. The octopus is definitely fascinating, I love all that stuff, but the narrative didn't really grab me and I think maybe it felt long winded and all that combined with the hype left me feeling a bit high and dry.

This got a lot of on the internet, but I found it so incredibly boring.

One of my favorites is Vigilante Vigilante: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1651151/

I always find it weird when film makers decide to change the movie years later. Might be fun though.

Neuromancer - I just love how it makes me feel. The dystopia feels relatable and I find the writing lyrical.

Fight Club - I love the pace and the style. It's a dopamine hit to read it.

I tried to read Zen, but found it crazy boring and gave up. I'm not sure why it's so highly regarded, but lot's of folks I know love it.

Devs is awesome and filled the void that Mr. Robot left... though it's quite different. It's more like hard sci-fi.

How do you pick dates and prices on the options?

I was there for it, but I don't recall it being THAT bad and I jumped to Chrome as soon as it hit the scene. It was only once there was an alternative to compare it too that it was obvious how bad IE was.

Why is browser consolidation such a big problem? If the current market leader starts to fall behind, then whoever does it better will gain adoption. Isn't this how Chrome grew a following?

I think this depends largely on the collection and how it's promoted, but just selling an art NFT imo seems like it would fail the test.

"A reasonable expectation of profit" seems like it would exclude all stable coins.

I agree with you, but it's also one of those things where if everyone did their part, the impact would be quantifiable. I think these things have compounding effects. The changes have to start somewhere.

It can be used for fun if you find EVM development fun.

Welcome to HN, where crypto is the devil and must be eradicated at all costs. Anyone who thinks otherwise here is either perceived to be an idiot or a grifter.

My understanding is that there are no clear allegations, that's the problem.

How did he pay millions in taxes with money he sent back?

I had another job lined up so that was a decent consolation prize, but I've never thought of Google the same way after that.

Went through a very rushed process at Google. Got a verbal thumbs up. Was invited to come in and meet a member from my future team for lunch. Was told written offer was incoming in a week. Was called 2 days later and told the committee rejected my packet. Zero feedback. Was randomly invited to interview for another role a week later which I thought was audacious. It killed any desire I had to work there.

Came here to say this. For me this is already that book... 5x + counting.

Firms like 3AC exist only to funnel as much money as possible into the crypto economy, most of it raised from ultra-high net worth individuals that won't miss this money at all. They place huge bets, because it's a land grab and the folks that work there got paid already.

It's faster and cheaper than a bank transfer and receiving party can maintain anonymity, so yes it's realistic.

Before bitcoin was still the early days of ransomware. It existed mostly as tech support scams. Now that the floodgates have been opened ransoms will go back to being high-risk western union payments and will be much higher. You can't put the cat back in the bag.
