By late 2001, Amazon share price collapsed by 94% from it's peak in late 1999! It did, however, fully recover by late 2009.

By 'fastmail masked', you mean an email on the fastmail domain, right? I.e. something123@fastmail.com? So that if there is a problem with your domain, you can still login to your r…

Following up on earlier thread about what setup to use for main email account. Consensus appeared to be 'Get a custom domain (e.g. with Cloudflare) and use it with e.g. Fastmail'. …

Which email provider would you recommend for your main account? (Banking, government + other important stuff) With Gmail, I am concerned that I could get arbitrarily locked out of …

How do you/they deal with presumably all of their peers doing the opposite?

I have also been thinking about this recently. The big difference/problem I think is the social aspect. With AAA at least you can expect large numbers of people enjoying them at th…

Also, most people in Western Europe / US care more about how things have changed for white collar / educated workers in their country/block.

Look up other writings by Seneca, e.g. On Peace of Mind. They are great too!

Can the whole supply chain of modern technology operate with zero carbon emissions?

Is Monkey Island 2 even possible to beat without a hintbook? I enjoyed Monkey Island 1 a lot, but with 2 there was a combinatorial explosion of items/locations, and it just seemed …

Thanks, haven't heard of those RPGs and they look interesting.

The original does play very well. The PS3 version allows to speed up time 3x, which is very useful to make some grindy battles less grindy.

I do not think it is a test of nostalgia, rather a test of time - I have been playing many of these games (and new games, too) for the first time recently. It is amazing what some …

The soundtrack is also amazing! I was once in Kanazawa and randomly walked into the phonograph museum. They had a room there where you could pick an LP from a pile and play it on a…

Recently finished FFX and now playing through FF7 for the first time. I feel like the games from that era tend to be more engaging - they cannot rely on the graphics to sell themse…

Crows also pass on their knowledge.

Life comes with a lot of suffering inseparable from it. Different paths in life we can choose result in different kinds of struggle we onboard. Meaning is defined as what makes it …

If life is full of tragedy, why make more of it? So that you could still have love surrounding you when tragedy strikes? How is that not selfish but OP's view supposedly is? Yes, I…

Actually, that's a good point - why is there no HN IRC?

Have you written about your FI/RE story anywhere? Would be interesting to read. E.g. which SWR, did you end up moving somewhere cheaper, what do you do day-to-day now? How have you…

Anything like this in the UK?

I find this surprising. Did we not just have a pandemic, where people had to have fun without 'going out' and spending money? It was great to see so many people gathering in parks …

Just out of curiosity, and it may sound random, but does &T mean anything to you?

I remember 2 years ago there were a lot of posts/comments from people having significant chunks of their net worth (e.g. 3M$ out of 4M$) in NFTs or cryptos. Were you one of them? W…
