Past Life Regressor is another one I just remembered - I wouldn't call it good, but it's more interesting than the typical action fare. Starts out with the most generic premise - fantasy earth where everyone has powers, and one gu

Haven't really thought about it in depth, but it's been pretty interesting to see this play out in the American online scans scene as well. From my perspective, Japanese manga was basically the 800 lb gorilla that we were all cons

Very surprised to see a comment about Peerless Dad on HN, and it being top comment. Huge fan of the series. But surprisingly, I've found the spin off series Administrator Kang Jin Lee to be even better. Peerless Dad has suffered a bit

Those same reasons you listed why other cities can't fix the problem also apply to San Francisco. Despite being world famous, San Francisco is quite provincial - nothing like NYC. Their population doesn't even break a million, and

Ironic that you complain about Squid Game being a rip off of Liar Game, when it's also derivative of another series, Kaiji. Reminds me of that classic Steve Jobs line where he complains about Bill Gates ripping off his idea of creating

It should be obvious at this point that China doesn't have hundreds of thousands or millions of covid deaths the same way other non lockdown countries do. We can definitively say that based on this specific outbreak in Shanghai - There

Probably increased salary and switch to permanent remote. Amazon is notorious for their frugality and they recently doubled their maximum salary cap to 350k. They would only have done this to stay competitive in the current job market. This

Knew it was a serpentza link before I clicked on it. You can make your own conclusions but I don't really see him as anything more than a clickbaiter. He lives in the US now and has said that the US is the only society without true rac

Hi HN, long time lurker, first time poster. I created this wiki with the goal of having it store audio files for any conceivable language, with respect to city or region - ideally, if the site were fully fleshed out, one could browse throug

Very surprised that you feel this way after traveling throughout the state. Honestly, it blows my mind that places like Vallejo, Bakersfield, and Placerville are all part of the same state compared to places like the Bay Area and Socal. The

Really surprised to see this on hacker news, I would've thought it too piddly to warrant a thread here. Anyway, long time customer and was generally satisfied with the service. I just used it for my low maintenance low traffic wp blog.

Yeah, they charged in increments of 12 dollars iirc. It wasn't set up as a yearly sub though - it just worked as account credits, so if you had multiple sites it would deduct money from the same account pool.

Long time user of the site, don't think they stored any of my personal details - I just paid via paypal. Don't think you could pay directly using any other payment method.

>Hearing MacKenzie giving away 4B of her 60B is not really impressive because you can live pretty nice with even 1B. To put it in perspective, If I made 300k (my yearly salary) / month for my entire life, I still won't have 1B.

Agreed. I just purchased an Xbox One and subscribed to their Netflix style buffet service for digital games. Game sizes range from 20-100GB. I've had to resort to only downloading 2-3 smaller games because my household already gets pr

I mean, I read your post, but it basically sounded like you wanted a full reopening like Texas but allowing the people who want to wear masks to wear masks. Is that not what you're advocating for?

Right now is probably the best time in history to learn a language. The sheer amount of resources available to you via the internet compared to the year 2000 is exponentially greater. The volume of content in your target language available

The implications of human trafficking - it seems more likely that the industry is partaking in human trafficking if they need to source the women from out of state, since they can't find enough local women willing to engage in it.

aren't hospitals infamous for their broken processes? It doesn't seem to me like forcing doctors to work 24 hour shifts improves their judgement while on the job, or improves overall health outcomes, anyway.
