how can the US government just ban an app? has this ever happened before in US history? what gives the government the right to tell US citizens what apps they can and can't use? this is some North Korea tier behavior you expect to se

Good luck with this! Let us know how it goes. Founders have leverage, because they started the company. If you don't like it, start your own and don't join someone else's.

What did the US foreign policy establishment know about Afghanistan and Iraq than you or I do? Last I heard from reliable sources, Iraq had WMD's and were a clear and present danger? Why not just preempt China's nuclear capabili

You assume you have a choice in playing. Most of the supply will never consider listing on multiple marketplaces, because its a massive hassle. $ABNB is up 48% YTD bucking the rest of the market, they have strong financials and are massivel

Getting yourself banned off of Airbnb for $950 doesn't sound optimal unless you are swearing off short term lodging around the world (outside of hotels) for the foreseeable future. That's one of the negative externalities of capt

Hackernews now advocating for burning books, wow. This is the end result in allowing political ragebait threads instead of focusing on tech and startups.

Isn't this just how survival works? You hunt / till the land / turn the wheel in the factory / deliver food ordered on the internet / X to eat. It's a lot easier now than before, for sure.

In this spirit, I think Tiktok would actually be a tremendously good matchmaker for finding either friends or romantic partners. I think a lot of their recommendation AI actually figures out what you might like ahead of actually showing it

alot of the exploit wallets are doxxed, e.g. they have an initial deposit into wallet from a centralized crypto exchange like coinbase or FTX that investigators can request info from. its actually pretty hard to get a "clean" wal

obvious outlier skewing your perception of the market as a whole. if the sears/eddie lampert case was the norm, why would PE deals ever happen?

unironically, yes. in an ideal capitalist system, money should flow to those who can best allocate it, so stupid investors losing $$$ to more savvy investors in financial pvp is the market working as intended.

Brendan Carr is also notably anti Net Neutrality. Reading the screeds of the supposed cypherpunks of hacker news begging the federal government to BAN access to an app by private individuals is hilarious.
