BTC can be redeemed for tulip bulbs. ;)

Mensa most often attracts the deeply insecure and insufferably arrogant. I worked with several IITians and multiple PhD/MD’s... how many joined Mensa? Zero (0). Sure, IITians remin…

I have perfect vision now but massive genetic risks for ARMD and glaucoma; when I get much older, blindness is likely without proper lifestyle and care. I’m fine with periodically …

Truth in headlines: Apple is close to to acquishuttering Shazam, say friends of Shazam founders to shake the bushes for a bidding war.

Conspiracy theory bullshit rhetoric has no place on HN. Go back to Alex Jones.

It’s as similar as blood and concrete. You’re conflating a self-absorbed moron and his family of sycophants and sociopaths whom violated the emoluments clause and enriched themselv…

It’s smart because holding BTC in a Tulip-bulb crisis is insanely risky. This current crisis is due to elastic demand based on short-lived, fashionable attention of a tiny currency…

Communal reinforcement of delusions is vital for crazy people whom have few friends. Without their flat earther or Christianity conventions, they have nothing.

New grads need to realize $100k/yr gross (~$70k net) at 100 hr/wk is ~ $13.50/hr net. So either get a better comp. package or refuse to work like a slave.
