Absolutely on the other side of this. My wife and I are both 100% remote (except for some in person classes which we teach). We ended up renting an office (a really nice coworking space in Phoenix called industrious, which we have kindof f

Well this absolutely sucks :(. I've been a huge supporter of Ubiquiti ever since I was buying mini their PCI cards and sticking them into soekris engineering boards (ubiquiti started out as a hardware company). The magic thing that ab

To those who continue to think that cryptocurrencies are a waste of time, or stupid, or a fad, or tulips, or whatever: What do you know that visa doesn't know? Like if you could sit down with a decision maker and convince them that th

So let me get this straight: You haven't used bitcoin in half of a decade, but you assume you have some knowledge about its uselessness that everybody else doesn't?

Okay hear me out: Somebody call Elon. Get the TBMs, and set them to work building a tunnel under the ship. Now fill the tunnel with giant rubber bladders. Call the Saudis and have them start shipping over helium. Fill the bladders with he

Why would these containers be empty?

by blhack 5y ago
Maybe. That's a lot of barges. Remember that you then have to go and unload the barges, and there are 20,000 containers.

There are 20,000 containers on the ship. Assuming you needed to remove 1/4 of those containers to get it to rise far enough to get off of the sand, you need to move 5000 containers. Assume that it takes 5 minute to connect a bridle to

Those excavators are there for show while they try to figure out what to do. There is absolutely no chance that 2 guys with excavators are going to dredge out enough of the canal to free the ship, and the canal authorities know this. It th

I don't think people are giving enough credit to how stuck the ship is. Look at some of the photos of the front of it. Look at how far out of the water it is sitting. The ship might look like that if it were totally empty, but not

One of the largest ships in the world has run aground. How long did you expect it would take to salvage it?

And then do what with it? Do you think most people selling land in northern Minnesota accept “dai” as payment?

My friend did email them. A “specialist” was assigned 2 days ago. But there is high support request volume, you see.

They tried. When you add another account, it never becomes an option to actually withdraw the money. So you go to withdraw, and there are no options there. Click "add bank account" again, and it will appear to add it, but never

Honestly this is something that somebody like fidelity/other banks are going to solve and push coinbase out. A friend is going through the following scenario (and reached out to me for help): they have over half a million dollars sitti

Get an old lenovo laptop and install openbsd on it. This post is legitimately a bit confusing to me since what they're describing sounds like a pretty standard sort of BSD/linux machine.

It would be really cool if they had just made a laptop that accepted PCMCIA cards, and then made a bunch of new PCMCIA cards.

It's so weird to me that here, on hacker news people have such a hatred of coinbase. Coinbase is a YC company, and if some of the predictions are accurate, will be the highest valued YC company so far.

And all it takes to "print" more gold is for a majority of people using gold to decide that lead painted yellow is, in actual fact, gold.
