HN desperately needs a ban on NYT, Atlantic, and Guardian articles. They are mostly political opinion pieces that provide no insight and the discussion around them is always the same: one political camp bitching about the government and cor

Speak for yourself. I am no less qualified than my elected reps. You don’t know what’s best for me. Don’t like voting on the laws that govern you? Then don’t vote.

You’re not responsible for your generation, just yourself. You didn’t answer my question about savings. Are you saving? If not you can and you should. If you don’t have savings the first step is to come up with a budget. Send me an email if

Many middle-class parents spend $100k putting their child through college (tuition + rent). Instead, they could use that money for a down payment on a rental. Their kid then learns to code (or whatever) for free while having a place to live

Do you have savings? If you had enough saved to spend a year looking for another job, would you still live in fear?

by simplecomplex 7y ago
Save some money, then you don’t need to fear losing your job. Fear of losing your job is a result of poor personal finances. There’s no need to fear if you have your personal finances in order.

Stripe was first to market with a simple payments API. It established their brand. But I don’t think anything else they’ve done is different than the status quo. Getting a credit card, loan, or incorporated is more or less the same at Strip

1 in 4 Americans think the sun orbits the earth. More Americans can identify the Three Stooges than the three branches of government. Almost half of Americans don’t believe in evolution. What most Americans believe doesn’t hold much weight.

They could be losing money on 1.4 billion in transactions. Their super low transaction fees might indicate WeChat Pay is a loss leader. That’s my point. Tencent intentionally hides WeChat in their financials. You assume it’s wildly profitab

I’m sick of the political opinion pieces disguised as news that amount to nothing more than “capitalism bad corporations evil” now dominating HN. Mostly NYT and Gaurdian articles. We can’t just have an article about co-living... Ugh.

Why would you disclose it? Why would you ever tell an employer what you do on your own time? Work two jobs, three jobs, whatever. You’re not a slave. You’ve let people bully and manipulate you if you’re worried about what your employer will
