Great read, thanks for sharing.

Leetcode is great. If you can't solve a couple of easy LC questions, I would question your problem-solving skills.

I saw a picture a couple of weeks ago about a person on Twitter who lost around 90% of his followers because they were bots. He complained that he had spent the last +7 years building up this "community", which in the end consisted of bots.

As late yesterday I saw two youtube shorts videos using deep fakes models of celebrities pushing crypto Ponzi schemes. I wonder how widespread bot usage is, and their connection to "echo chambers" that seem to echo louder and louder into mainstream media.

Have you experienced a caveat in terms of coding quality? I study mathematics, and I think it is pretty standard for mathematicians to disregard theoretical run times when experimenting and doing "napkin" computations. Invariably this leads to relatively poor code quality. Speaking from experience, I just failed a coding interview because I solved the question like a mathematician would do, i.e. a quick and dirty way. What is your experience with this phenomenon? I know academics often gets railed lacking concepts in data structures etc.

My advice: do drugs

The prototypical HN poster.. this site sucks nowadays

Todo list?

* assuming you have a pagan slave population which can be worked to death in order to provide for the intelligentsia utopia fantasy

After going through 1000's of articles this is what remained?

I dont regard HN as a news site. Not that much of critical importance is discussed here.

Crypto currencies (or atleast DeFI) is trying to solve a pretty pragmatic problem: There is 1.7B unbanked people in the world and banking services are outdated and unavailable for large portion of humankind.

I mean that is pretty good problem to work on IMO. I think articles like this that talk about monetary politics are missing the point a bit.

I live in Denmark, and even then it takes approx ~10-24 hours to transfer funds between banks, imagine if we could reduce that time to mere seconds- or minutes?

i agree with this guy!!

"The president of the Ford Foundation, Mr. Walker, said in an email that he had confidence in Ozy. “We need new media companies to challenge the status quo, shake things up, and go deep on the issues that matter most,” he said. “In an increasingly diverse world, it’s no coincidence that a company with co-founders of Black and Indian descent would be so successful.” Remember this is the sort person investing capital nowadays..
