What does that have to donwith women?

Do you also have facts?

So facts are offensive? I don't see any rebuttal to the facts presented in the article unfortunately.

Anyone knows facts that disprove his?

Humans work in cycles.

So, you already had the right hunch.

You don't really have a good direction on a random day and can't really get into the zone? Fix some small bugs for 2h and then call it quits, go to the gym, drink beer with your friends.

You got that one feature that you know exactly how you build it and you're on fire for it? Knock yourself out in a coding session of 2 x 20h and take 3 days off afterwards. Much bette than forcing yourself to quit at 6pm even though you're burning to do it.

Productivity means taking advantage of the human cycle, which is comprised of your mood, hormones, the characteristic of your problem and many more factors that you can't really control.

Examples from this batch?

Yes Bitcoin is slow.

We already have blockchains that are near infinitely scalable and decentralized with Elastos, IOTA (at scale) and Holochain with its agent-centric architecture instead of data-centric architecture as most blockchains have it, which is launching in a couple of months.

Nano is also very, very good and decentralized, has even instant transactions through its block-lattice architecture, but it isn't near infinitely scalable to billions of TPS yet or at least not yet.

It only started last year.

The ventures that he takes on take normal companies a decade(s) to become commercially viable.

If he doesn't instantly have full products out, he has failed? Why the heck would you expect that??

These videos are bullshit.

I watched the boring compny video and all he says is that his concept have been known before him.

Yes, duh. But he was the first to make them usable as commercial products by making them 10x cheaper.

Anyone can make a costly prototype of something, but the challenge is making it actually profitable and commercial.

You have 2 options.

1. You rewrite the code. You said you would hate that, so not an option 2. You develop on top of the spaghetti code. You said you would hate that.

So, no matter how, you would hate working at this job.

That's why the only option left for you is really telling your boss how things are and that you can't see yourself working on this project.

You'll probably receive an offer with a 50% salary increase, so you can take that, but you should have a new job lined up already at another companyy.

He kind of has a point.

There are mutations in microbes all the time that allow plastic digestion, probably millions every day.

Only needs one that really punches through.

The problem is, criminalization of pot does far more harm to society than decriminalization.

So, while there might be downsides of decriminalization, the downsides of criminalization far outweight the former.

Is it really that competitive these days after uni when you have "no experience" and are a junior dev?

I assume you have a top 10% GPA?

I always hear in the bay area you get $150,000 straight out of uni, at least when you're from Stanford etc. Is this not the case anymore?

Edit: Ok, I see you're in France. Then 33k€ is rather reasonable.

There don't really exist exciting software companies in France or Germany, except maybe blockchain companies.

The thing is, 99% of readers here think bitcoin is shit, because of the go to arfuments, that bitcoin is too slow and only used by criminal and by extension, they don't like the blockchain either even though the weaknesses of Bitcoin have already been solved by many blockchains.

But they don't know that, so they keep bashing the blockchain without having any knowledge of other good platforms.

Math is a very small part in what is so good about the blockchain. people don't understand the significance of decentralization.

Blockchain, though no one on hn really understands it. :D
