Past Life Regressor is another one I just remembered - I wouldn't call it good, but it's more interesting than the typical action fare. Starts out with the most generic premise - f…

Haven't really thought about it in depth, but it's been pretty interesting to see this play out in the American online scans scene as well. From my perspective, Japanese manga was …

Very surprised to see a comment about Peerless Dad on HN, and it being top comment. Huge fan of the series. But surprisingly, I've found the spin off series Administrator Kang Jin …

Those same reasons you listed why other cities can't fix the problem also apply to San Francisco. Despite being world famous, San Francisco is quite provincial - nothing like NYC. …

Ironic that you complain about Squid Game being a rip off of Liar Game, when it's also derivative of another series, Kaiji. Reminds me of that classic Steve Jobs line where he comp…

It should be obvious at this point that China doesn't have hundreds of thousands or millions of covid deaths the same way other non lockdown countries do. We can definitively say t…

Probably increased salary and switch to permanent remote. Amazon is notorious for their frugality and they recently doubled their maximum salary cap to 350k. They would only have d…

Why would the US be in charge of admitting Ukraine to the European Union...

Knew it was a serpentza link before I clicked on it. You can make your own conclusions but I don't really see him as anything more than a clickbaiter. He lives in the US now and ha…

Hi HN, long time lurker, first time poster. I created this wiki with the goal of having it store audio files for any conceivable language, with respect to city or region - ideally,…

Very surprised that you feel this way after traveling throughout the state. Honestly, it blows my mind that places like Vallejo, Bakersfield, and Placerville are all part of the sa…

Really surprised to see this on hacker news, I would've thought it too piddly to warrant a thread here. Anyway, long time customer and was generally satisfied with the service. I j…

Yeah, they charged in increments of 12 dollars iirc. It wasn't set up as a yearly sub though - it just worked as account credits, so if you had multiple sites it would deduct money…

Long time user of the site, don't think they stored any of my personal details - I just paid via paypal. Don't think you could pay directly using any other payment method.

>Hearing MacKenzie giving away 4B of her 60B is not really impressive because you can live pretty nice with even 1B. To put it in perspective, If I made 300k (my yearly salary) / m…

Agreed. I just purchased an Xbox One and subscribed to their Netflix style buffet service for digital games. Game sizes range from 20-100GB. I've had to resort to only downloading …

I mean, I read your post, but it basically sounded like you wanted a full reopening like Texas but allowing the people who want to wear masks to wear masks. Is that not what you're…

>It's also disingenuous to suggest the extreme left isn't dominating the messaging from the left. Except it's not disengenuous to say that at all. We can see that by the candidates…

yeah - you could see in prior years how most h1bs were allocated to WITCH companies. https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/h-1b-employe... Since h1b is a lottery system, …

Right now is probably the best time in history to learn a language. The sheer amount of resources available to you via the internet compared to the year 2000 is exponentially great…

Yes, I also didn't think there was much ambiguity as to her relationship with her boss - a risk averse manager wouldn't have laughed off her situation or enabled her to continue on…

I'm not saying you're wrong,but what was the deal with the lesbian author who was arrested for her books? There was this webcomic I read called 他们的故事 which is about a lesbian high …

> However, we must remember that the situation would likely not have occurred in the first place if the people speaking out about it early on weren't punished, which wouldn't happe…

A lot of people shitting on the website in this thread, but it seems to me like you guys are missing the point - this isn't a site targeted towards people who aren't using it curre…
