Although I mainly use zoom for work, I've also used Google Meet occasionally and have found the quality to be on par with Zoom. I notice you mentioned Google Hangouts instead of Google Meet, I'm not sure if they are the same now (

That number varies, it's a weekly rate. I've been with Celsius for a while now and I know USDC interest rates used to be 10+% not too long ago (a couple months maybe?). Also, that's just their US rate for USDC and a few other

I'm making a wild guess here, but I think the missing context from this web site and other comments is that this is intended to be a college town community. If you look up the address (2025 E Apache Blvd, Tempe, AZ 85281) it's a w

This is only tangentially related to your post at all, but as a budget-conscious shopper, I've come to realize that in America, there is usually a retail shop or two locally that consistently has the best deal for a category of things.

Oh man, I'm sure only people who've actually played the games back then can relate, but I got literal goosebumps upon hearing that music when I played that video. I think the fact that it's played from a PC speaker added that

I get these articles coming out a month ago, but given the rise of delta variant and the strong uptick in COVID cases in this past month [1], how do companies justify or even consider asking employees back into the office? This is an articl

I agree with the author that the real estate agent described something most people want, and not necessarily what the author himself wanted. I think it's unfortunate that the agent didn't hear what the author wanted and just point

Although you replied that you did not read the article first, I think you still do make a valid point. Here is an excerpt from the article: > Of course, some lucky people already know exactly what they’re retiring to, answers firmly in h

Oh man, seeing "88x31" really takes me back. Internet Explorer and Netscape buttons were all the rage to put on your web site. I remember making some 88x31 buttons/logos myself too. I know it's nostalgia talking but it t

On top of all of that, let's assume the benefit of the doubt on things like being able to withdraw, etc. Even then.. It seems like the article is written to make the reader to feel like they missed out. This is almost certainly not the

Also, anecdotally, I went to UC Davis and have not seen any slumlord type of housing in that city. I'm sure there are other college towns with slumlords. But they also exist in any other city.

Nice, didn't know about this. For some background, I've only become a real user of Twitter this year (I've had an account for ages, but never used it much). Currently there is one topic of interest to me I'd like to foll

A few years ago (before I switched to full remote in 2018), I wondered something similar and I even went as far as wanting half time/pay: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14808178 Ever since I went full remote, and

A few 15-30 min Zoom calls a month seem like a ton of time investment. It's one thing if it truly is 15-30 min, but typically one would prepare a bit for interviews. Tech work, reading up on the company, etc. As you mentioned below you

The only real objective thing I can say about it is that much of the modern ecosystem can have a pretty steep learning curve. Frontend alone, React is quite hard to grasp for a beginner. I'm a Svelte fan and I think it's a lot eas
