Travelling internationally from the US after not having done so for about three years. I was surprised to get hit with a request to upload all of our passports, a second form of ID…

That seems like an interesting idea. I am also trying to see about not having to waste any time on non-major subjects. This is a horrible thing. I understand and agree with the ide…

> CS is way more than just programming > thinking you can do it without spending time and effort on it is naive Well, yeah. I am not a 22 year old. I'm nearly 60. I have been devel…

> However, coding is one thing, theory is another one. Even if you know theory pretty well, you will need to review a bit which kind of imposes a speed limit on how fast you can pa…

That wasn't the question, or intent. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. The idea is to knock out as many credits as possible through examination. Not the full degree.

Looking to attempt to accelerate reaching a BS in CS. Having worked as a software developer for decades, I can teach any introductory, intermediate and most advanced programming co…

How difficult is it to convert Bitcoin to conventional currency? That has always been one of my hang-ups regarding crypto. Also, I take it people can't pay you with a credit card i…

How do you take payments while protecting yourself personally from exposure to some of the craziness out there? I'll use a hypothetical: Let's say you want to sell both "Go Biden!"…

Will do. Looks interesting. Thanks. A friend of mine, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, went through a radical change of diet. This included juicing lots of vegetables and cu…

> I'm not sure why the patient can't make their own decisions, but I don't have all the facts. She is older (85+) and not equipped to navigate the more complex aspects of this. Thi…

Yes, this is a sobering diagnosis. And it has spread to the liver, which likely means the prognosis is far worse. I take your point about quality of life for what might remain. The…

Thanks for the link. Just starting to get into this so, no, I didn't know about this resource. Yes, this is bad.

Someone close to me was just diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer which extended to the liver. Wondering if folks on HN might have references to some of the latest advances in …

I have a 15 year old Windows 2000 machine running a PCI based piece of test equipment. No problems or performance issues. It has not been on the network for at least 10 years, if n…

It isn't because of their title. It's because of their authority. You can argue against access but ultimately do not have the authority to prevent it. They can fire you. I once had…

The math is wrong. It ignores binocular vision and normal head motion.

This isn't a new idea at all. It's just getting a lot of publicity.

How do you convert back to hard currency at that scale (hundreds of thousands of dollars)?

Another aspect of this question that hasn't been explored is that of scale. What I mean by this is that one can do things with $100K or more that are impossible to do with less cap…

Someone mentioned jumping into solar energy in some way. It looks like installations haven't slowed down at all.

To me aggressive means lots of things, one of them being working your ass off in order to make it happen. For example, I'd love to have a good SaaS product...I just can't seem to c…

I think the error here is in thinking, well, inside the proverbial box. My question is serious an does have lots of valid answers. For example, I did not say the answer had to be a…

Sounds interesting

So far the best answer to my question seems to be flipping real estate, in which case losing 100% (or any) of the investment is highly improbable.

In speaking with a local realtor he showed me a few examples where clients flipped properties within 90 days or less and came out $100K ahead or more. Provided there are no surpris…
