To answer your question in a very simple way: suppose sears goes bankrupt and the bank wants to sell off the assets of the company to recoup some of its loss. The name "sears" has a value and is something that can be sold.

There was a project I started a few years ago but abandoned. Is it fair to do that project again if I’m starting with a new codebase?

What city are you in? That is absolutely nothing at all like anything I’ve ever experienced in any of the Costco’s I’ve ever been to! That sounds terrible! Honestly you should send them an email a lot this, especially getting run over by

Where do you camp otherwise where you are seeing all this trash? Even in developed sites I don’t think I’ve ever seen what you are describing here. Definitely nothing even remotely like that once you get a little further from the trail. T

The second link in the comment. I made this mistake two in my comment.

I had no idea that that second video would have the effect on me that it did. I'm sitting in my office here crying.

The most worrying thing is that the media machine seems to want this recession to happen. It's madness. It's like they want to destroy the world's economy for their own short-term click metrics.

Yes it will. I’ve talked with many people who simply don’t know how their body reacts to certain foods (glycemic response). Having that data, and seeing what a milkshake does to your body is huge.

I just wanted to say that I love this post. There is a huge space around """fitness""" devices that are running around the FDA regulatory process. I think there is going to be a huge health revolution by makin

It looks like bisq is basically a clone for localbitcoins. To do a trade, you still have to send USD back and forth via paypal, ACH, etc. It seems like you'd run into the same money changer law violations that have been used to nail

Wework phoenix is $700/person/month. A 5 person team in a tiny shared office is $3000/mo. Some of my friends rent nice offices in boring industrial parks for less than that, and have 6 private individual offices, 2 bathrooms

Self replying because the edit window has closed. Fair points, all, thank you for making them. I guess from what I had read about the costs of wework offices, it would be in the same realm as everybody renting themselves lamborghinis ever

Is there anybody here who actually uses these spaces? How do you justify the costs? If I was an early investor in a company, and I learned that they were spending those sorts of amounts on office space, I would be furious.

>fake trading volume sets the price which then determines the number of bitcoin sent in the real transactions. How is the price dictating the number of transactions?

It's baffling to me seeing the progression of anti-blockchain people. They keep insisting that it's all a joke, and yet every single day the level of adoption keeps on increasing. I feel like I'm watching the internet be b

How about: who cares? Isn’t this hacker news? Aren’t we all supposed to be hackers who are upending the existing system? How about we build our own Harvards where anybody who wants to study can come and learn whatever they want? And the

I really hope that soon we can start looking at these media companies in the same way we look at cigarette companies. CNN,NyTimes,FOX,Twitter etc. want you addicted to their product, are EXTREMELY powerful, and are willing to damn your heal

Anecdote, but: we use our echo all over our house for doing things like setting alarms, and checking the time.

Just a general piece of information to share here, since I think everybody in here has an interest in e-readers: did you know that you can get a mint condition kindle 3 with 3G (free data for the device for life) on ebay for $30? I consider

Has anyone here ever worked in this industry? I'm curious what the justification for these prices is? I can't imagine it is quite the scrooge mcduck caricature where the people reaping these profits are literally trying to defr

This is true for every physical object though. You cannot tell me with perfect certainty the width of a ball of tungsten, because the edges aren’t actually rigidly defined. In fact: it doesn’t really have an “edge” the way you might think

These silly “American bad Europe good” comments always find their way into these discussions, and they are as uninsightful as “if you aren’t the customer you’re the product!”. An equally uncharitable interpretation is: American culture, unl

Doesn’t it terrify anybody else that you are right in the rotational plane for those propellers? If one of them were ever to break, it’s coming right at you.
