We see this repeatedly with communities on Reddit whose sole purpose is to mock other communities. It always turns into brigading and harassment. I’m surprised they lasted this long but maybe it’s just tall poppy syndrome. The only thing I

I'd be interested to hear who you bought the hosting from, I'm sure the US government would also like to hear who has been helping you evade sanctions. Sanctions are there for a reason.

Okay, provide some evidence for that claim. Because again, that's the claim of "Well crypto is doing amazing things" but it needs actual evidence. I know it theoretically could happen if you ignore all the glaring problems

I think toxicity from the anti-crypto crowd is basically inevitable at this point. It has been a decade of dumb claims and ridiculous assertions from the pro-crypto crowd. None of their claims have materially panned out. There's some

Like any literally any infrastructure, no one is standing around going "Wow, that Interstate highway system sure was a waste of time".

Are there many large infrastructure projects in America that actually turn out to be a waste of time? It seems like any large infrastructure project tends to get a whole load of pushback and political shenanigans (which often are the direct

Well, there’s a simple reason- FAANG was an acronym to describe a group of companies’ stock market performance not their underlying value. Of course it’s a ridiculous grouping - Facebook and Google are ad tech companies, Amazon is a logist

One thing I found really disappointing about this article was the complete lack of discussion about the economic drivers of this consolidation. You know what happened to the news stations and newspapers that didn't merge to become behe

What's happening in Mariupol is scary, but it is far less scary than what practically everyone thought Russia was capable of. They've failed to take a city 30 miles from their border. That's insane. People were expecting wh

I think the one thing you're missing out is the true potential downside. Which is that over the last decade Silicon Valley social media companies have taken an extra-ordinarily long and painful path to understanding how they need to ha

It's funny you say that, because he actually did end up coming back to work for the company, but it was a while ago now. He doesn't even list Atlassian on his Linkedin, he just pretends he never left hte company

I remember finding out one of the senior managers from my company ended up as head of software at Atlassian. It was at that point I was convinced Atlassian has no idea what the hell they're doing. I think this demonstrates the point ni

Can someone explain the use case of this? How does this differ from holding your crypto in some wallet and having a Mastercard credit card? I understand someone might want to borrow against their crypto holdings, but this seems like an odd

I think it's pretty pointless to have a discussion about this unless you first have a discussion about what Film critics are doing. What they're doing, most often, is not giving a rating out of 10. They're generally looking

This is literally the scam of Web3. Just because you name something Web3 doesn't mean it's going to become the next big thing. There is no relationship between the success of Web2 and what will happen with Web3. Do you know how I

The one thing I would say about the SEC being slow moving, is that the sanctions available to the SEC are quite strong. It's one thing to say that the SEC will never get around to investigating all of these, but really all the SEC has

What a silly headline. The M1 has apparently saved Apple according to sales data which compares two quarters both of which are significantly after when Apple introduced the M1. Also really appreciate the insight: >In short, there's

As with a lot of this "Innovation" it only works if you're the first to do it and you've grown to a point where you can afford to stop once you're caught.

I think it's important to distinguish between what the university is actually asking academics to do, and what politically charged commentators are then adding to it and getting themselves (and some commenters here) outraged by. I thin

One of the aspects I found fascinating about this was Scott Galloway on the Pivot podcast explaining exactly how Musk blew through a load of SEC regulations, potentially costing sellers a significant price premium, when he did this. Also ho

I'm sure it happens, but you've got to be looking at that as a pure cost. You're not generating any revenue from people searching your brand, and you're paying significant sums for click through on people who already had

Honestly, this genre of "Look! We don't do X!" topics on HN recently have been a little absurd. Advertising has it's place. If you're buying ads on your own brand name then yes, you're wasting your time, but s

To be honest the Girl with a Pearl Earing "variations" look a little bit like a crime against art. It's like the person who built this has no idea why the Girl with a Pearl Earing is good art. "Here's the Girl with

If you really want to go down that road, it's Russia's gas that runs eastern Europe, not US cash. Yet still, Germany tells Russia where to stick it. This is quite clearly not an economic decision.
