Imagine someone offered you a house but the agreement was that you could only sell it for what you bought it for. I doubt you would buy it considering there are other options on th…

When are you going to ban this user? Their username is sexual and offends me as a woman. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=MegaButts

You bought it to live in for 5 years and then you flipped it for more money than you bought it? That's the definition of successful speculation.

All homeowners are real estate speculators. Wouldn't you also consider anyone buying a "starter home" a speculator? Their goal is to continuously flip their house.

Very good points MegaButts. Crypto is VC funded too. Hence the crazy market caps because most of the VC owned supply is locked up.

The business owns your data. Why would they delete it if they don't have to?

There's definitely perfect and perfect for the business. But when large companies have many developers they all have to do something. They will spend their time doing something unn…

I would never suggest archiving unless we're hitting some performance limit. Why generate more busy work? Just leave it there and if need be add more indexes and partitions.

Lack of support and poor attitude? That's the playbook for Tesla's FSD. So maybe it can work again?

The US government does not agree with China that the US army created SARS-CoV-2 in a lab. But every scientist and rational person also doesn't agree with China. You're going to hav…

Or hang out in the bathtub all day. If you don't have a bathtub put your feet in a bucket of water.

China’s stance on Covid is that America is responsible. I’ll update with the wechat source when I find it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/vaccines-c...

Because what I claimed is so outrageous? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/vaccines-c... I’ll find the wechat story when I’m more awake. ADV china covered it though…

They aren’t just going to surveil you though. They will actively work to promote disinformation to you.

What social media company in the US bans positive coverage of mRNA vaccines? In the US algorithms ban content, often by mistake. In China a political official or someone working fo…
