- corndoge 5y agoWho said it was easy? FFS read what is being written instead of going for the epic cheap shot
- ryanlol 5y agoMost HN users could figure out how to safely blow up ATMs, few could figure out the other thing.
- Beldin 5y agoI doubt it. I think most HN users would be above-average successful at white-collar crimes, especially if those involve technology. I see no reason for any correlation between HN readership and aptitude for blue-collar crimes.
- aaron695 5y agoLol, you walk into a welding shop buy oxygen and acetylene and tubes. Go to a hobby store and by a model rocket fuse. Wake up at 3:00am stick them into the ATM and get money. A lot of aptitude needed isn't there? You can't be a coward though. Most HN readership can't do either. Unless you call pretending they use AI or AR or chatbots or big data as white collar crime.
- ryanlol 5y agoAnyone capable of stopping to think for 5 minutes will be above average aptitude for blue-collar crimes.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI think if all of HN tried it, a third would be in jail, and a third would need to be scraped off the pavement with a mop. Maybe sucess chance is higher than with crypto, but the faiure is much worse
- ryanlol 5y agoI would bet that the amount of people that need to be scraped off the pavement would be much less than a third. The kind of explosives you would normally use for this are not difficult to handle or deploy, anyone with access to google can figure it out. I think HN users in general would be much more inclined to do at least a little bit of research, unlike most blue collar criminals.
