Would love something like this to kill (or at least severely maim) the broker industry in NYC. 0 value added at the cost of 10-15% of yearly rent.

It's a huge hassle in Boston as well. Pretty boy hustle brokers deserve easy work that doesn't require real education so I can pay more to find a domicile - said no one ever...

Realtors are truly the scum of the earth, hustle culture, gate keeping, maligned incentives for clients, lazy industry in general. Only second to tech recruiters.

Please keep up the good work!

Remote | Austin TX, Boston MA

I'm looking for a co-founder with elixir and strong front-end experience or product and sales experience. Technical preference for now. If you like mycology and working with Neo4J feel free to drop a line!

The product I've been working on is intended for the pharma space and somewhat similar to Benchling but targeting a very specific agricultural niche. I've yet to start looking for institutional investment, but now that covid is over I have the bandwidth and drive to take this product full-time!

please email hydrated chia AT gmail DOT com

Perhaps they found better jobs with more accommodating employers, maybe it's not so great working at a company like Google? Good for them!

Giving more power to the IRS is not the answer. The Fair Tax is a far better solution.

Deductions are the real "lever" that the ultra rich use, since you can lobby the feds to implement whatever you want. This is why when tax rates post WWII were "over 90%" in top brackets nobody actually paid those taxes. Ironically, in that period most people who would be subject to that tax just took sabbaticals (of sorts) and reduced their income. Contrary to popular belief, most rich people have a far higher IQ than Hollywood actors.

No thank you...

I still can't get over how people fail to realize that arbitrary thresholds for financial reporting (initially set in 1970 at $10k[0]) haven't been adjusted for inflation. To the point where in a not so distant future, settling up funds with friends at a large dinner could in certain cases be considered "structuring"[1]. You have access to all of my credit card records, basically everything I do online, figure it out.

The fed boys have more than enough info, but of course we should trust them with it to tax the rich... Full disclosure, we should definitely tax a-holes with billions in their Roth IRA.

Did the surge in Chia mining affect global hard drive prices at all?

d33lio · 4 years ago

Not for hyperscalers like BackBlaze. They have contracts with specific purchase quotas and guaranteed price deltas. Chia has certainly affected prices on the secondary markets, there hasn't been a better time in the past decade to be a secondary server "junk" seller on eBay! NetApp 4246 JBOD's are going for $1000! Absolutely insane!

But can it farm Chia?

Always cool to get insights into the business and technical challenges at Backblaze!

To my knowledge, unlike Golang, `mix release` doesn't let you compile for any OS + architecture from any OS + architecture.

d33lio · 4 years ago

Yep, you have to build for the architecture you're planning to deploy on.
