Is answering questions on HN really a good use of your time right now? Thank you for doing something about the pandemic. It's quite heroic.

This is what is supposed to happen. I guess I agree though that we could get rid of it as normal users dont know this is how email normally works. It's useful though...

Can you explain more please? I dont understand. If I buy a thing that was once worth 100 million dollars for 10 million dollars, I havent lost anything yet because it would need to go down even further from 10, right?

What percent of unwillingness to leave abusive situations is truly due to poverty? I would have guessed the vast majority was due to love, self esteem, sunk cost, etc.

This is the problem with treating everyone like a child. If I am dying of corona, and there are no more ventilators, I would like to be offered one that Dyson made out of cardboard, sticky tape, string, and wood glue so I can decide for mys

I can never get into games but within 2 seconds I was super into this game. I used to play asteroids as a kid, the version that came with Windows, but yours is way more intense.

My painter friend told me that the art market was sketchy as hell, but I must admit even this article surprised me. I have a hard time feeling too bad for anyone in this story.

Amazon brings you the customers as opposed to you needing to find them. Many ad networks are banning mask ads due to "price gouging" for political/PR/legal reasons. True story: yesterday I got a downtime notification for

I assume you live in America or Europe. In countries hardest hit masks are almost entirely sold out from retail. I'm HK I hear some people are having trouble buying toilet paper or canned goods locally as people are stocking up. One pr

how so? does McKinsey regularly get paid in equity for consulting services instead of cash?

You are wrong because the nature of this setup specifically allows them to ensure no card owner will be able to find out that they've been conned for several months (by only accepting renters who want to move in in several months). If

I'm assuming there is a Stripe/other payment form behind the button, and not a login form for phishing. This seems like a lot of work for just phishing. It would seem amenable to actually taking payments because people are booking

You might spend a decade in prison or, failing that, you will probably never be able to go to Japan ever again.

It's probably limited to people who are only able to endure life because they entertain a fantasy of Paris as a heaven of sorts. You can endure almost anything if you have hope, and some people daydream about a better life elsewhere or

There is a similar Japan syndrome in NEETs and weebs who spend years obsessing over how amazing living in Japan would be and who then finally move there and realize it isn't as it is depicted in their anime and porn and on their imageb

I think they are just pointing out that the people who think they love animals actually only really seem to love cute animals. And when you think about that for a bit, it seems less pure.

This is my primary point. The margin of error is two orders of magnitude. It's a bit absurd to throw a statistic around when it's such a huge unknown. I guess I'd be happier if margins of error were included with statistics a

He revised his estimate from 500 million to 800 million? Did 300 million more animals die in the interim or was his initial margin of error at least +/- 60%?

Misleading stats too. I've seen countless articles mention that 500,000,000 animals have died. I was skeptical as to how you could even devise such a number reliably so I looked into the source of this statistic. First off, this number
