Are you hoping for it to remain the same or are you hoping for an increase compared to usd? Asking because you mentioned stored. What if you could buy shares with btc? If value just sits there and is not used in a productive way - things co

This is something very Japanese, they like to patent everything to the extent I think it's something cultural. My company (Japanese owned) made us sign something on the lines that the company can patent inventions of employee without h

I bought some stuff from auctions houses that buy returned stuff but what you get is very random, either as new stuff or complete junk. Coupled with the fact that there is no return policy on these returned items, non transparent pricing (t

Can understand why some primitive people were not big fans of gay people, they would not 'multiply' the tribe. I wouldn't describe it as arbitrary, after all it was compiled by 'learned' scribes but more like based

Not religious but I remember Jesus's words (lol): > Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. > So when you give to the nee

My question is: who is the intended customer? As a software dev who is confident with coding I would not use this because I don't want to lock myself to a platform (vendor lock-in). Someone who is a rookie might use it but it seems tha

Google is just the middle man here, creators can turn off ads on videos if they want to but a lot of them need revenue or at least want revenue so the question becomes what's the best way to reward creators for their work? There are mu

London has a number of red telephone kiosks turned into libraries. I belive they are administered by local groups which move the stock around once in a while but I would suspect it's difficult to manage this online since there is no ch

Excuse my ignorance but what are the advantages of using such a system over the standard build systems of various languages (vite, gradle, maven, pip, etc)?

This is like: time-out until we catch-up with you. Once the genie is out of the bottle, you can stop it. Let the race continue.

I don't see why at least they don't keep it in read only mode for longer - e.g. a few years - until the content becomes obsolete. This will alienate many Internet dwellers and make the Amazon brand sink even lower. Surely it doesn

Have you considered cashing out? Meaning selling the house so you get you equity back. Maybe you can use that to move somewhere more affordable and start over.

I’d read PG’s essays (someone compiled them in a pdf on github) and learn about startups. Long term you don’t want to sell your soul to corporations. Continue to learn and try to get some contract work meanwhile. In security this is very co

Quite thorough report, some points that stand out from the summary: >SABIS was TSB’s principal outsourced provider >SABIS relied extensively on 85 third parties (TSB’s fourth parties) to deliver the systems required for the migration

Always invest in an industry index and not in individual companies as you can't pick the winners. This is investment 101. EVs will become mainstream eventually but the likelihood of Tesla to dominate the market is low. Their only possi

I don't see what Indeed and Autonation have to do with you being scammed. Autonation looks like a legit company that the scammers impersonated. There are numerous giveaways and red flags in the process, the major one is them using a no

I used to support them until they jumped on the diversity bandwagon. I believe humanity has bigger issues to tackle right now. The ftx involvement signals to me that they did not do their due diligence, supposedly their main job. A 15M esta

What Curtis argues in his documentaries - that politicians now are mere birocrats at the mercy of the markets - seems truer than ever. There is no place for decisions that do not sit well with the markets, unless you live in a dictatorship

Being recently in the market for car tires I say that some standardisation benefits the consumer and reduces waste. There are so many sizes of tires that you have limited choice on purchase and resell. Unfortunately there is no incentive fo

This sounds unexpectedly familiar to the experience of refurbishing my flat. Goal post moving, postponements, delays, pay in advance and job unfinished, etc. My take is that you were too flexible and the agency took advantage of that to ext

Disagree, companies cannot focus on too many things at once and get them right. Better for them to focus on logistics, fleet, cargo, etc than investing in data centers. Staying in your area of competence usually yields the best results. Btw

While most of the things here are desirable to a user I imagine the cost of compliance would be enormous for Apple, not to mention that it will take years. Even if they do comply, I wouldn't imagine them enabling these for NON-EU count

Good idea but very poor experience filling the form on Android/Chrome. On Firefox worked slightly better. Would be interesting to know how the ownerships of a project gets mediated as this is always a contentious issue.
