I doubt Apple or Bill Gates have very many incriminating Twitter DMs. Kanye is a non-factor, nobody serious cares what a, respectfully, manic-depressive is DMing about. Elon Musk might have some suspect DMs, but honestly I think his crazy T

You think the FBI and SEC couldn't get a warrant, look through 10000 people's trading activity and have a list of 100 most likely suspects within a single day?

No Amazon generally does not provide you a company phone, at least not when I was there.

That isn't what OP was talking about, but to answer your separate question--in Seattle you have unarmed people who pushed some concrete blocks into the street, in Oregon you had well armed people occupying a federal building.

isn't most text you'll see nowadays going to be printed and standardized? I can't remember the last time I read a handwritten anything, aside from my own notes.

Just because they've cut these projects or they're not generating revenue today doesn't mean they don't "need" them. What if the economy tanked in 2007 and Amazon decided to dissolve AWS?

The average American didn't (and probably doesn't) distrust their government on anywhere near the same visceral level as someone living in the soviet union.

In North America are non-supermarkets and non-warehouses even 5% of grocery retail? I think that restaurants being allowed to sell groceries would've been cool. But I don't see how mom and pop grocers move the needle at all here.

Do you have an international driver's license or whatever that is?

In the live address they said that most implementations will be left to the county and local govts. The state isn't giving any specific guidance on masks, for example, leaving that to specific locales.

Does anyone have any tips for the "micro" lulls? I'm a professional programmer of 5 years. Back in December I was floating high, feeling so empowered and at the top of my powers. Now I feel just meh. Opening an IDE, writing t

1. It's old people AND people with comorbidities, which is a ton of people. 2. Lots of old people, which for Covid is about 65, still work full time jobs. Some of them fly every week. These aren't 95+ year olds. 3. I'm sure p

Why does anyone talk to a journalist when they don't get anything out of it or advance their interests? People like to tell their story, especially when aggrieved.

That's a great point I always struggle with coming up with UIs for side projects, but really everything I come up with will always look cheap compared to the efforts of 13 experts.

I personally don't think that ~10% of people who are in the low food security box are doing great. They still seemed to do horribly in some of the metrics they gathered. For example, 80% of them felt they could not afford a balanced me

I don't think that's a low bar. The US is an advanced economy. Why would people being unable to get fresh produce or have a balanced and varied diet be acceptable? Especially when you consider the obesity problems the country is f

Does the US government subsidize them at all? I wish we would pivot faster to renewable energy, but in the meantime we should also ensure we are not reliant only on authoritarian states for energy.

I don't mean to be glib, but isn't this a good opportunity for her to learn those skills? I wasn't a good self-learner until I was in AP Bio and the teacher was very incompetent and I had to just face down the book. That grou

Actually, yes I recall now this is exactly what happened to me! I applied and forgot about it, assuming it didn't matter to them when I responded. What a bummer

Has anyone ever been refused a developer account? I wanted to write some scraper and did the form, but they rejected, told me in the email there was no appeal, and I guess that's it?

Totally talking out of my butt here, I have no finance knowledge. But just as a matter of general game theory stuff I understand that sometimes you have to push all your chips in on a position, but that doesn't seem sustainable? Like h

Robinhood isn't a bitcoin company. That's just a feature they have. Its main product offering is the commision free trading--and their presence pushed a lot of big players to adopt the same offering. The wallstreetbets gang is sil

This seems very related to the blog post that introduced me to Paul Graham, and in turn Hacker News, about a phenomenon he calls Schlep Blindness. http://www.paulgraham.com/schlep.html I would be curious what people think

I guess that is an easier system to implement, but that's obviously less ambitious and much less magical. Why does Amazon do one day shipping? That's also huge overkill for 99% of the stuff they sell. They do it because consumers

OP is saying he was leaving Kashmir. Generally US authorities ask this stuff when you arrive.
