Nice article. I like the Barbican and have spent a fair bit of time there over the last 25 years. I even worked out how to get from A to B without getting lost. Not been recently though. The appearance of various Barbican adjacent locations

And guess who is paying for her mistake? Everyone except the perpetrator. That bank refund comes from somewhere.

Or more likely lose it all and have to work again.

My take is the opposite of yours. The guy loves SV culture. Most of the article is a humble-brag about it. His problem is that $60m is not enough to be an important player in that world. He was just a cog in the DOGE machine which wasn&#x27

Thankyou. It's a relief to know that other people share my opinion after reading this appalling article. The author is too dumb to even effectively disguise the extent to which he is just showing off throughout the article. I suppose t

With that money, I'm sure the author will find a trophy wife, despite his personality flaws. It feels like that might all be part of the plan for his "next chapter" after leaving his girlfriend. "Sorry, it's not you

I guess their annual profit growth is not enough ;-) What irritates me the most is the way they are still describing it as free to sellers when in reality sellers will have to eat this fee by reducing their asking price to remain competitiv

In reality I think the seller will eat this fee by having to reduce the selling price. But your point remains.

In the UK, ebay will add 75p plus 4% to private seller prices. Somehow they still describe their service as free to private sellers.

What makes you think he is flaunting his wealth? Maybe he is just showing this implementation to help people with ideas. And saying you won't check responses to your comment is pure arrogance. Unlike the original poster who seems a nic

Sorry to be that guy, but this site is terrible to navigate as a non-French speaker. I'm not sure it would be that great as a French speaker. I've seen online archives from other Museums that do a far better job of making their ex

Good point and yet another indication that the sign was created by a numbskull.

Well done, one of the least accurate statements I've ever read on HN.

This is a nice idea. The problem is longevity. I'd be willing to bet this product disappears after a few years (best case scenario) and you are left with no ability to buy new heads and end up binning the brush. So net net you probably

Good article from an intellectual curiosity perspective. I use the Philips Sonicare brushes, although I've been using 3rd party heads for years due to the cost difference (3X cheaper). Philips obviously wants to deter people like me fr

An ambitious experiment on a Swiss mountaintop has demonstrated that a laser beam also can help guide the path of lightning, extending the effectiveness of the Franklin rod high into the sky.

It would be very interesting to see the funding sources of this journal and whether plastic manufacturers are contributors. The plastics industry has created the myth of plastic recycling and perhaps it now wants to undo that as it realizes

Really, I thought she removed the titles. Where is the story about her regranting them?

You think she enjoyed the trappings of wealth? I never had that impression. And no, she didn't "sign up for it", she became Queen as a result of birth. Yes, she could have abdicated but the fact that she chose duty is to her

Read what numeric83 said. I couldn't have put it better myself. The longer they leave it the worse it gets. But human nature means they won't act until the train hits them in the face.

A looming catastrophe in the UK and the government is doing nothing. I've seen some crazy stuff here over the last 12 years but this is next level.

Surprisingly few mentions of the orange elephant in the room here. Perhaps Don Jr shot the elephant on a "hunting" trip.
