Well, this is the comment section of a HN topic that's specifically about Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang (their names are included in the title). If this were some random other thread, then yeah sure it would be confusing to just say G

Unfortunately it seems like almost all the talented writers left after season 3/4. Seasons 1 and 2 were absolutely hysterical and amazing, but by the end the writing got really terrible.

I really hope Caroline and Gary go to prison too. It would be a slap in the face if they got some absurd plea deal where they didn't have to go to jail if they testified against Sam.

Hope both of them spend some time in prison too. It would be pretty insane if don't go to prison as part of a plea deal (where they testify against SBF or something).

How ethical is it to have a headline that alleges something bad and then paywall the article? Good for Bloomberg, but bad for consumers and the person of interest.

Yeah you're right actually. Looked into it further and it seems like there isn't a strong correlation based off some survey papers.

Income is negatively correlated with vaccine hesitancy, so… are we gonna have clickfarm articles on anything negative that’s correlated with poverty to vax hesitancy?

It’ll just be YouTube shorts most likely. Reels is pretty terrible.

Interesting. Yeah idk maybe it is more possible than I thought then. Maybe I'll try and hop on the next Twitter spaces Sam does and ask him why he decided not to go the international fugitive route. Or yeah idk. I guess he has strong b

No, I'm saying if he took the route of cashing out and going into hiding. He would never talk to his parents/siblings again. Or, they will be in serious legal trouble if he does. Helping a fugitive evade governments is illegal eve

It depends on the time and risk you’re willing to take. If you’re high risk, low time then I’d just put it all in Ethereum. If you have a large amount of time, I’d start an online business and use the $100k to hire international contractors

Are you joking? You should google the Pittsburgh steel strikes and Henry Frick. You think someone who has to shoot their workers is more ethical? It’s genuinely hilarious to see how poor HN’s grasp of history is.

They’re incredibly smug about it too, as if getting born with a silver spoon in your mouth is somehow far more commendable?

Also, day trading isn’t some way to make you money. It’s a great way to lose money while you think you’re working though.

Why not just put the actual headline? Research suggests humans were cooking their food 780,000 years ago? Why turn it into such a meaningless title? (Blaming The Guardian here not OP)

Good. Absurd for social platforms to permaban a former POTUS. Anyway, not sure if the average democrat has realized that Trump being on Twitter is terrible for the Republican party and great for the dems. Clearly the democratic party leader

The New York Times piece is even worse, since it paints a misleading picture of SBF and his cronies losing all the money accidentally rather than malice (far more likely).
