I mean... yes discrimination doesn't feel nice... but it's not as if people who come to Germany where forced to do so by the germans. I'm not from Germany, but the vibes in some of…

Anecdotally I've noticed that among the coworkers I've had from other countries, the ones who manage to learn danish and stay, have generally been in areas with lower density of fo…

With the way you're framing your opposition, I agree with you. But I'd like to add some nuance. Parts of building a product or a set of features is about search, rather than great …

I hear you. And I believe disagreement is good. The markets were right back in 2018 - Tesla did manage to overcome their manufacturing struggles, and they did become profitable (no…

All that. But also he makes products so compelling that people who dislike him drives in them. "Fuck Elon" gotta be an all time top seller among bumper stickers. > few could have a…

When I followed TeslaQ, the valuation was around 60b. Today Tesla has 39b in accumulated retained earning (pr latest 10k, not q). If the thesis was that Tesla would be unable to cr…

So this guy was pretty active in the TeslaQ community. They believed Tesla to be (extremely) overvalued in 2017-2019 on the grounds that they would never become profitable.. or som…

At least half of the people in this thread survived growing up with access to social without age verification. And I'm pretty sure we've all had an encounter with some creep in som…

I previously shared a mechanism for voting on .AI sites. It was something I built just to explore what's going on in this part of the internet. I wanted more comprehensive data. So…

Are you getting any sales on Lobsterpack? Just curious :)

I originally took all domains crawled by CommonCrawl and made my own private tool for exploring the public web. I've used it to get some sense/intuition for what's being made by ot…

Also added HACKERNEWS95 as a coupon code in Stripe :)

ofc, if you don't want the Excel sheet, you can find my contact details in my profile. Otherwise you get free access to the web version (which is far better), just by signing in wi…

I made an app to calculate exact EV and optimal strategy for Black Jack. Originally I made it in a Google Sheet/Excel. The calculations are much clearer in Excel, so DM me if you w…

I don't want an internet designed by lawyers and politicians. And I'm afraid that's what this level of regulation and enforcement would create.

> Loosing it for a couple of days is more palatable Sorry, I'll just be "that guy" for a moment. Assuming that access is cut at a random time during the week, the average number of…

This might more be a European thing, but over here some of the sellers on marketplaces like Amazon, are linked with organised VAT/Tax fraud. While I can't say it's all, it'll all t…

Luckily most of us live in democracies, where we can just decide whether we want the rules to allow this kind of differentiation.

Was about to comment something to the same effect. He's got 341 million subscribers on youtube (on his english channel). If we imagine that there's 1,35 billion english speakers wo…

Uhu.. And how do we decide which people we don't want to exist? Is it last in first out? - "we were here first"? As one of the 8 billion on this earth, I'm rather happy being alive…

Thanks... it's as if we've completely forgotten to think about 2nd order effects, let alone 3rd or nth order. Whether it's suffocating GDPR, AML/KYC or other regulation, we're real…
