Are you hoping for it to remain the same or are you hoping for an increase compared to usd? Asking because you mentioned stored. What if you could buy shares with btc? If value jus…

This is something very Japanese, they like to patent everything to the extent I think it's something cultural. My company (Japanese owned) made us sign something on the lines that …

I bought some stuff from auctions houses that buy returned stuff but what you get is very random, either as new stuff or complete junk. Coupled with the fact that there is no retur…

Can understand why some primitive people were not big fans of gay people, they would not 'multiply' the tribe. I wouldn't describe it as arbitrary, after all it was compiled by 'le…

Not religious but I remember Jesus's words (lol): > Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from you…

As a side note, the difference in quality between the comments from HN and the linked site is from sky to earth. Thank you HN mods and users

This is like: time-out until we catch-up with you. Once the genie is out of the bottle, you can stop it. Let the race continue.

I don't see why at least they don't keep it in read only mode for longer - e.g. a few years - until the content becomes obsolete. This will alienate many Internet dwellers and make…

Have you considered cashing out? Meaning selling the house so you get you equity back. Maybe you can use that to move somewhere more affordable and start over.

I’d read PG’s essays (someone compiled them in a pdf on github) and learn about startups. Long term you don’t want to sell your soul to corporations. Continue to learn and try to g…

Quite thorough report, some points that stand out from the summary: >SABIS was TSB’s principal outsourced provider >SABIS relied extensively on 85 third parties (TSB’s fourth parti…

Always invest in an industry index and not in individual companies as you can't pick the winners. This is investment 101. EVs will become mainstream eventually but the likelihood o…

I don't see what Indeed and Autonation have to do with you being scammed. Autonation looks like a legit company that the scammers impersonated. There are numerous giveaways and red…

I used to support them until they jumped on the diversity bandwagon. I believe humanity has bigger issues to tackle right now. The ftx involvement signals to me that they did not d…

I have a dormant account to which I lost access because I've changed my phone number. When I try to reset my password they insist on sending me a sms even if I enter my answers to …
