Agreed. My brother in law's dad got COVID. He had heart surgery before. They had him on blood thinners for some time and his doctor said that it was a very real possibility that it saved his life as he was already on something they wou

True. I worked at a company that once hired this former Yahoo engineer when they were hot and he sang the Smurf song often and wrote shit code. All the engineers were happy he was the only dev in his section because he also smelled. Even wi

Can you negotiate 5%+ more salary if you know what you're doing? Yes. Yes you can. That's easy. Half goes to buy side though normally. Although some firms try to "double pop" it and represent both sides. That should defi

The Dreamcast was an incredible platform. I've owned most console systems and nothing compares in terms of innovation during its time. I remember the VMU memory cards that allowed you to call your plays on NFL 2k to remove the issue of

Censoring opposing, and even ridiculous views, is the dumbest idea ever. #1) You might be wrong or #2) don't you want to know who those ridiculous people/views are? They readily identify if you let them.

Wow that's terrible how they handle that. What a bad process. That can't happen with your bank accounts for anything in the US unless you had a special judgment against you in court, which is difficult to get, it would take a long

You're talking about exchange. But even in that example, it's not anywhere near the equivalent of going from ~17k to 3.5k, then up to 45k+ as bitcoin.

Did you go to court? Or just not pay for a long time? You said "take all your money". Was that indirect due to the fine amount or are you saying they actively took it (like a garnishment)? Apart from the hack I mentioned, there ar

Just because someone doesn't like Bitcoin doesn't mean it's a misunderstanding because they're privileged. Bitcoin IS a terrible currency because it's volatile. Really the worst aspect to have in a currency. Also,

So this seems like a pretty easy way to stop a stock - change the collateral requirements. From what I heard from the WeBull CEO, what you described sounds right. And he said the whole market could not function. So in order for other stocks

Which "spokesman" made that statement? Pretty easy to deny no? "Melvin Capital has repositioned our portfolio over the past few days. We have closed out our position in GME (GameStop)," the spokesman said in a statement.

Well they sure made selling really easy during the architected dip. Why allow so many new users to buy those positions before they blocked buys if this was coming? I mean, the prices were elevated before it got to this. Seems like a situati

No the article is odd/fascinating because most people's "rent-a-person" would be a friend or family member. And there would be no exchange of money. It's kind of sad people have to hire people to do friendly things,

Separately, I've heard personal reports and seen a documentary about young Japanese men in general. It was said that their mothers do everything for them and for a much longer time than other countries. Is this true?
