That’s been their strategy with past platforms and I can’t say it hasn’t worked.

Personal opinions aside it is a valid use case. They can track the wallet and they will, but they cannot close/lock the wallet as they did bank accounts. As you’ve implied there are methods to achieve anonymity but they require technic

My understanding is that Cook was never meant to be an innovator, he was a supply chain expert that also has the experience and skills to run a company the size of Apple. Replacing Jobs was never going to happen. Apple navigated the 2020 su

I know of one person who does it right now (not in the tech field). It seems possible in certain positions in some fields but requires a lot of planning, some luck, and a lot of work. As long as it’s a salaried position and you’re getting t

How are “good parents” expected to find this low-odor, marker-sized object without deeply invading their child’s privacy or ruining their bond and becoming “bad parents”? Gone are the days of finding a smelly bong in the back of the closet,

2020’s numbers are going to be hard to beat I expect that to be a “recent” baseline for a while. The article later claims that it is believed that Tech Companies are between 200%-400% overstaffed and companies have suddenly shifted from hir

Imparting one’s philosophy onto a platform that is for the most part static is the most one could do without bastardizing the platform. Twitter’s biggest moves since its inception aside from TOS/legal/anti-evil have been character

I love good satire, over the last decade I’ve moved from the Onion to Clickhole and have landed on Babylon Bee for now. They have a stuff aside from their partisan pieces that matches the quality of The Onion and Clickhole when they were in

I’m not a data scientist but doesn’t this just dirty the data pool and lower the confidence of any actions taken or is it rather easy to clean?

Based on anecdotal evidence it seems that you’re on the right track. California EDD was defrauded for millions and it was so embarrassingly bad that they shut down the system to many users. This forced them to live off of savings/famil

Community service usually isn’t that bad, people volunteer to do it all of the time. Just from what I read in the story, it seemed Edwin was more inclined to want to stay inside than interact with others in person. I also assume the exchang

It’s just a duplicate thread being moved to the original thread where the discussion on the topic is much further along. I’m sure you understand how counterproductive it is to scatter and divide discussions on a single topic across a websit

The people most capable of changing schools are the boardmembers and well funded unions. Private schools are simply the best alternative right now. If you ban private schools, people will “group homeschool”. If you ban homeschooling, parent

The whole article comes across as dishonest. Specifically where the author mismatched data where relevant data is easily accessible to theorize that Galt’s Gulch would be a hot spot. When in reality, many state governments’ ill-advised regu

They’re supposed to back up their data and set up proper contingencies. By failing to do so, they are already putting patients lives in the hands of the encryptors.

Many are useful and cutting edge but many more are useless and outdated yet have a much higher dollar value. Bitcoin is a collector’s item, so is Doge. Most of the HN community understands blockchain well enough to know that the crypto mark

Still quite an exaggeration, since most of the (ex) service workers I know are going to coffee bars and sharing joints. I’ve seen a few teachers unions get busted for coordinating vacations abroad while they boycotted in-class learning beca

There’s a lot more to it than that. Amsterdam has a very large local port and a ton of tourism. This part of southern Italy has been subsidized for at least a decade. If this was Venice or Cinque Terre I’d be all over it but it’s unlikely t

“Pre-paying” isn’t in the vocabulary for many though. You seem financially savvy, if you were to randomly sample the market how car buyers do you think have the level of resources and discipline to actually follow through with this?

That would nullify the study entirely since the criteria in the test directly overlaps the criteria of the results. There are multiple people in this thread that have been incorrectly tagged as bots, I’d like to see proper tests done with t
