I may not celebrate Thanksgiving (not American) but I would still like to say thanks to hacker news. I don't remember how long ago I discovered it, but it's been an amazing journey…

I try to start from the bottom up. I'm "fortunate" to live in a country where we have a saying - The country doesn't have a mafia, rather the mafia has a country. So I'm pretty use…

Ironically the whole GDPR mess made it easier for me to use ddg first. I just don't have cookies, so every time I use google I'm greeted with that amazing consent form, so I just s…

To quote a meme... "por que no los dos?" I have been using DuckDuckGo since I don't even remember how long now - pretty much immediately after I heard of it - what made the "switch…

We have created a plethora of different functional vaccines, however as you said due to logistics there isn't a plethora of choice for "end users". I could've taken the AZ vaccine,…

What would be a better model for how the stock market works?

Intentional would be the key word. Would it be easy to prove it was intentional?

How is halting trades the same as only halting buys? By halting trades it is implied selling is also halted.
