Re:Ask HN: Has your view of Silicon Valley changed in the last 72 hours?
on Monday March 13, 2023 @11:52PM (#35147230)
I think that a lot of societal ills can be chalked up to "low interest rate phenomena." Silicon Valley has had a decade to play with free money. What do they have to show for it? Smartphone CRUD apps, subsidized gig workers, influencers and child consumers. Let's keep raising interest rates.

I spent part of my childhood in Boardman. Rusty N Edie's BBS was a local number. I didn't know how good I had it until we moved to another state. I recall that "Fred Martin's BBS" was another fantastic local BBS in the Youngstown area.

As a counter to this, my local Micro Center is absolutely booming. I built a fast gaming machine earlier this year, and found all of my desired components in-stock there, with no compromises. Their prices were identical to the lowest prices online, and they offer price match anyway. All of my Ubiquiti stuff I got there as well. They have an expanding hobbyist electronics section that consumed the old physical software/gaming space. They have other great hobbyist stuff like retro gaming and drones. I've just taken it for granted, not realizing that many people consider Micro Center a PC builder "Mecca".[0]

The prospect of curing diseases is wonderful. But for now, we're just using these algorithms to figure out how to maximize the amount of time people spend staring at their phones.

I too have experienced buzzing and grating sounds and vibrations during sleep paralysis, or during a false awakening. It happened frequently in college when my sleep schedule was broken.
I'm skeptical. Part of me thinks that this is mass hysteria.

There's so much strange hand-wringing in a loud subset of the security community. The DoJ has a 93% conviction rate because they pursue strong cases that usually end in a plea-bargain. The FBI aren't spooks. The evidence will become public. If this guy profited off of banking trojans then I, for one, hope he ends up in the clink.
