HN still accepts new accounts. It's not an exclusive club for old people. Even beyond that, stories have been repeating here since the beginning. Not everyone has the same life experiences, and not everyone checks HN at the same time.

A great strategy but has its limits. Just a few weeks ago some guys tried a rather good version of this strategy in Estonia to sneak into a Rammstein concert. Not only did they have high-vis vests, but one of them also had high-vis pants, b

It seems that they also bet on the hypetrain lasting longer. They are now trying to cancel some of their TSMC orders. [1] They'll probably end up with a juicy profit overall anyway, but perhaps the more clear shovel sellers here are fo

The judges in courts are humans who look for intent. They're not machines who you can trick that easily. So no, no need to worry about a €1000000000 entry fee to Berlin. Venice is tiny, old, decaying. You can just think of it as a muse
