Not only that, but having a camera with you at all times is fantastic. Besides the typical selfies with friends and random shots, it's a way to capture some proof that you gave som…

Not only that, but a phone solves the "where am I" problem, which was such a pain when I was younger. Having to look for the nearest street signs while driving around, barely being…

Doesn't that go counter to what is usually posted, about how college is a financially poor decision, whereas trades are particularly lucrative now? As far as I know, trades are sti…

Wikipedia notes, "The U.S. Census Bureau lists the annual real median personal income at $35,977 in 2019 with a base year of 2019 for all people over 15 years old.[3] The U.S. Cens…

I'm wondering if you would define a higher than median US salary to be "surviving at best", as most CS PhD programs are at that amount plus health insurance. But certainly far from…

> does not have replaceable tips Huh? Then what are these [ https://support.remarkable.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000676301... ]

Interesting, I'm the opposite. I'll pay with card when possible, and if it's cash only, I'll offer to Venmo or I'm leaving. I put a lot of value in being able to track my own spend…

I find that hard to believe because they can verify my identify when I sign up for an online bank, or apply for an apartment, or do anything else with the same information. I'm mor…

Yeah that's what I'm trying to do, to view them online. I've looked up what's going wrong, and quite a few people have this issue that they can't be verified online.

When I tried to get my annual credit report, I find that the credit agencies constantly have trouble validating my identify online even though I have one of the simplest reports. A…

Maybe instead of demographic, it's about people whose public image is part of their job. Like startup executives, academics, athletes, politicians (even "low-level" politicians lik…

I feel like more restaurants have been going with cheap wheat-based ingredients and heavy batter deep frying. The trend towards fried chicken sandwiches reduces the "meat" part of …

It might also be from the billions of unemployment and SBA fraud sent overseas during covid. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23213162 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2748…

Wasn't this the unprofessional fund on the board of CircleUp that tormented the founder so much that he wrote a long critique? (but not this VC partner specifically) https://docs.g…

This is not passing the buck. It's acknowledging that there are many stakeholders involved in a company+platform, and that many decisions are about making tradeoffs rather than hav…

I actually feel the opposite. Consumers have the ultimate choice -- their choice is not beholden to anyone except themselves. Then they can execute their choice unilaterally. A VP …

They're just trying to justify illegal software. Like when people defended P2P file sharing as "but you can use it to download linux" or recently bitcoin as "but it's also great fo…

Yeah, everyone's known that platform dependence is risky, and every decade or so we "learn our lesson" but then forget the moment the next cool platform comes along if it has enoug…

So it's easy to think with a human customer service agent, all will be well. But then I think about all the customer service calls I've made or emails I've sent, and I almost wish …

Yes, exactly. Like catering, but also with the intention that maybe you're not going to eat it all at once, so something that stores well for a day or two in the fridge would be id…

Good to hear. Though I find it frustrating when stores don't list prices, like the Rinella Produce website. Prices are one of the most important if not the important factor when sh…

As a solution, I would love to see more food supplies and restaurants selling larger bulk amounts at discount. That could bring in a new set of consumers, and reduce the number of …

dang, did this thread get manually removed from Hacker News? It seems to have disappeared. If it was intentionally removed, I'm disappointed -- this seems like a really important d…
