I was laughed at, repeatedly, on Twitter, by crypto types when I often said I was confident Bitcoin price would fall below $20k 6 months ago. It's not something you can really short though?

There is a difference between asylum seekers and skilled migrants (the latter is what every country wants, the former is where all the political heat is on). On asylum seekers, in reality, the plan to move some asylum seekers to Rwanda won&

This process is my current working theory as to why I can't drink coffee.

Thanks that's v. helpful. I pulled my small investments out of Ethereum into dai a few months back. I think I will close this too for now.

Any thoughts on Dai stable coin?

Should health professionals run a campaign to advise parents not to let their teenage children have mobile phones? Severely resticrt internet access to them?

Interesting report. I think we should ban teenagers/children from having smart phones. Calling and texting aside, teenagers don't need phones. As an education tool, laptops/desktops are invaluable for teenagers. I'm unc

I have a dumb fraud story. A fraudster called me up (I knew it was a fraudster right away). I played along as he said there had been some fraudulent activity on my account - payments from random locations etc.etc. The crux was that he wante

I think this is very useful advice. It partly reminds of laughing therapy. Where people laugh continuously for 2 minutes (fake laugh). But what can happen is that you start to genuinely feel happy and laugh.

My brother killed himself when he was 25, and I was 23. I've never really known how to talk about it/him with people. I sometimes wonder what he would be like now if he hadn't done it, but mostly I don't think about him

Final Fantasy VI is my all time favourite Final Fantasy game. There's something so ... spiritual about it that modern games have really struggled to capture. I wonder if that partly is because voice acting in some ways often takes away

Don't laugh but I also find decaf quite strong. I don't know if it's because decaf fools my system somehow or there is another chemical ingredient in decaf that makes me feel weird. But I don't drink decaf either (I do l

Am I? I haven't heard of that before. You are right that when drinking tea I don't get the same unpleasant effect. Thanks I'll look this up!

I love the taste of coffee. Unfortunately I can't drink it as I get a near euphoric high followed by unpleasant hyperactivity and weird anxiety. Seriously. It's so unpleasantly strong for me. Tea I can drink but I don't touch

My spider senses are detecting sarcasm.

Yeah. I think its really difficult (impossible?) to know what its like for the other gender/other ethnicities - even if there is more cultural outputs/conversations out there about different groups its still really hard/impos

On a related point, what I'm uncertain about are the reasons for the increase in transgender kids in the west. I understand there's been a massive increase in cases for transmen in the UK and USA for example. Is this because we ca

So obvious. I got all the answers correct. Mind blown.

Why do you think humans will go extinct in a 'few hundred years'? How confident are you humans will never build settlements outside of earth?

Its an obvious move from M$ - I'm wondering: 1. What if M$ just blatantly made it so hard to switch default browsers and didn't care about being sued (they could battle it out in courts with google etc. for years and just pay a bi

I mostly avoid the news. However opinion articles on newspapers bother me a lot. The fact is most people will interpret these articles as the newspapers own view, increasingly so when this view is repeated again and again. However when you

At the moment one big reason remote work looks very attractive because 9-5 is still seen as the norm. I'm all for remote work and think its superior in pretty much every dimension you measure workers on. Having said that in a world whe

I guess it varies by company. In my previous company, there were a fair few unpleasant company people that enjoyed gossip, snidy remarks, and being just general jerks. As soon as I was fully remote I didn't need to engage with them any

It's hard. A lot of office workers are so happy not just about the lack of a commute but also avoiding office politics and office jerks. At the same time I do feel for people in the lunch, transportation industry or those office worker

So I've asked for an example of a community that is good. Can you give any? Honestly I'd be really interested in knowing about it. On Bitcoin, do you honestly not think there is no cult like behaviours with this movement? No shill

This is total rubbish: "HN isn't a place of ideas, it is a place where where only a narrow, anti-human rights, ideology is tolerated." If you really believe this then you seriously need to time off to reflect. It simply isn&#

Berserk manga, an amazing wild brutal Manga is of course still not finished. Who will do it now? I hope he left notes. He was a very creative man.
