Wasn’t meant to shame, just a shocking thing to take in. Make as much as you can, if that is what is sought. Those numbers are a rarefied circumstance. It sucks that they cuffed you, but great you escaped. Tough decision to make. It’s genui

It remains privileged. I have my golden handcuffs too, probably most on HN do. That doesn’t change the reality expressed.

This should trigger all of us to be spinning up lawsuits. This whole thing is an absurd grift.

Is it lesser? Up until the 2010s the US was generally pretty good with EU & EU adjacent. It’s likely to return too, as there remains a strong societal will for it. I ask this - which has the more persistent track record of a free or mor

I would hate it if the system removed nodes from my network without my influence. Perhaps a rules engine with user defined criteria would be useful. Ultimately, users define their network in current-day social media and the relevance of any

In that list of Apple products that you own, do none of them match the ops comment? You’re saying none of those products are or have been in their time in the market a perfected version of other things? There are lots of failed products in

How many generations are we even into cars? Maybe 4ish? Most kids alive but not yet driving are likely to own only hybrid ma or electrics. Seems like a relatively short term problem overall.

In some cities. I happen to be from one of them. Now I live in a far bigger city (Los Angeles) and the closest Microcenter is 2 hours away. Worse with traffic on a Tuesday afternoon. They’re only in a handful of states, sadly. There are

Uh… So the argument here is that anticipated future value == meaningful value today? The whole cryptocurrency world requires evangelical buy-in. But there is no directly created functional value other than a historic record of transactions

I can’t think of a major city I’ve been to on earth where 10M from a hung cable is realistic outside of some suburbs and rural areas.

Not even deceptive. This is relatively normal business practice. It’s easier to think of this as “project risk” as opposed to corporate risk overall. This isn’t different than creating a subsidiary to embark on a new program, with its own d

I’m wondering what the sample size is for this assessment. I know gen z people that don’t buy stuff on Amazon out of anxiety, let alone booking a 4 figure flight. Let’s not forget that a plurality exists.

If I did this, my notifications would never stop. I get tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of emails every day. Even heavily filtered, I can only afford to check work email a couple times a day. Most that make it past the filters are still

One of the most significant problems, agreed. Also, email is free to the sender but costly (in time) to the recipient. This is reflected in the quantity of messages, but also in their verbosity. People rarely expend the effort to edit or be

This makes my brain hurt. Few things I hate more than email. The single worst way to get in touch with me. As a user of it for more decades than I’d like to recall, I despise email. Sure, the infinite archive is mildly helpful. But search-

So are you saying the only difference between a woodwind instrument and a fan is the column? What about a stringed instrument then? Every sound found in nature contains multiple frequency components. When these align as integer multiples of

I disagree on this. I’ve used both interchangeably for decades and can swap between them without slowing. So much of this comes down to knowledge of and experiences with the quick/er ways for getting around. For quite sometime using s

This math sounds really simple until you work for a company that is “profitable” yet constantly turning over every sofa cushion for spare change. Whuch describes most publicly traded companies. It can be quite difficult to get this kind of
