Not quite that. Bond prices go down when interest rates go up. As such, an investor who thinks that interest rates will go _up_ will reallocate from long-term bonds to short-term b…

Yah, but most of the awful things that ICE does (stealing children on purpose, deporting legal citizens through carelessness) happen to non-white people; and you're responding to s…

That is an absurdly stupid argument. Makes sense that a god-awful world-worsening piece of shit like you would make it. Good people should look at you and know, instantly, that the…

Borrow some fucking integrity. AMLO doesn't even take office for two more months. This law has nothing to do with him.

He didn't really present facts. Objective and intelligent people who saw the talk and the slides recognize that. That said, I know that HN is a "safe space" for white male bigots, …

GitHub had constant availability issues _before_ being purchased by Microsoft. Fortunately, it wasn't a huge deal because git works well off-line.

Having worked in Germany, London, and America, I feel as though America is far more racist than the other countries. I understand your desire to pretend that the US is merely hones…

Once again, a "very smart" hn commenter doesn't understand the concepts of risk or insurance. Quelle surprise.

there's a material difference between one violent interaction, and one bad restaurant review. grow the fuck up and learn the difference, you miserable fucking failure of a human be…

He’s referring to the spread between bid and ask prices, but he’s wrong, so you can safely ignore him.

Currently, main revenue source is Robinhood gold (a margin loan), and the secondary source is selling order flow. The stated goal is eventually add more financial services.

BoorishBears is correct if and only if you are a mediocre talent and you seek a mediocre career. If you have great talent and seek a great career, then a high GPA will make it subs…

I'll offer a good faith answer, even though I'm pretty sure you'll dismiss it as snarky condescension. Point 1: Lyft's API comes with a contractual agreement regarding acceptable u…

We've all agreed to things we didn't expect, because none of us are willing to invest thousands of dollars worth of our time to check the side effects of trivial transactions. Inst…

Also, SV has a lot of people who see nothing wrong with defrauding other people if it results in personal benefit. There are a lot of people who would happily help others die if it…

I never thought I'd see somebody so broken and drenched in authoritarian Kool-Aid that they'd defend Spicey's multiple Hitler claims. He's a professional communicator who, instead …

You did not present any evidence of any of Norquist's argument. The top federal income tax rate in the US occurred in 1944, and was 94%. At that point, the 1040 was substantially s…

A judge and jury would struggle to use this unless it was very well-sourced, but as external observers who are attempting to make a best estimate, we certainly can.

Most good candidates are already employed, and don't want to take two weeks off to take a chance on a single interview. As such, this sort of arrangement happens to some degree wit…

It's worth remembering a few other things: 1) If the suit is true, then it will almost certainly zero out the investors, and destroy the careers and fortunes of the executives. 2) …

Note they say 'durability' not 'availability'.

The primary cost difference is salary. They are outsourcing from a country where people are paid $100k to one where people are paid $10k. The health benefits are a tiny fraction of…

My favorite Thiel hypocrisy is that he pretends to be Libertarian while building an enormous company to generate wealth for himself, by explicitly giving the state more power. That…

I strongly believe that Obama was net good in large part because there was so much opposition to him. As such he couldn't ram-rod a one-sided version of anything through. Similarly…
