I appreciate that, sorry if I got.. er.. pitchforky. Coming back to (2) - what I mean is that it's unclear to me if there's ever been a bear or bull cycle in that market in reality. It's such a short span of time that you

I see these posts, and my gut feeling is that Mullvad is probably fairly trustworthy at this moment in time, but the more word of their service spreads the more likely I would assume it is that they get approached by the type of government

1) You’re assuming sports betting is completely random, then assuming I’m comparing this completely random thing to your supposedly not random thing. 2) Cryptocurrency is 13 years old, give or take. The idea that there’s a predictable cycle

Or you could just randomly put it all on a horse or a greyhound. No less asymmetrical, greater odds of success, and less rigged against you most likely.

I’ve absolutely worked on projects like this, but I would suggest that how clean or well designed the codebase is really isn’t put to the test until the creator leaves and others need to maintain, which is usually when the groans and eyerol

This I can actually get on board with - but wouldn’t you agree that this would really just fall under “good engineering?” The use of specialist tools to increase output happens in hundreds of other careers and I’m sure it just falls under l

I'm convinced the 10x engineer doesn't exist. It's not that the 10x engineer is a myth - it's a fallacy. You'll find that people in the same profession (any profession) will have variance in their abilities and the

I feel like this misses the point. And then a lot.

I’ve never noticed an aftertaste. Anything with aspartame in it seems to make me immediately feel nauseous. Not sure if I’m an outlier here.

I mean I sort of see why you’ve been downvoted (this is off-topic and adds nothing to the discussion), but you’re also not wrong. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which is a lesson that we learned a million different har

It's complicated. There are a lot of things you'll miss coming from "real" Visual Studio. VS Code is really a very good lightweight editor, but it's not trying to be an IDE. Visual Studio 2022 for Mac is.. fine. It

You mis-spelled reddit.com. Don’t worry, plenty of upvotes for this kind of thing over there.

“I really wish people would push to decrease the production and use of plastics in the first place, seems more sustainable than trying to engineer solutions at the tail end of the issue” Absolutely this. Watching the video in the article ab

The thing that has shocked me about all of this over the last year or so is how seemingly easy it is to just start issuing debit cards to people. Maybe there's more regulation than I realise (and the emperor has more layers of clothes

The character was based on Dick Fuld, which if you look at any interviews with him from that time you can kind of see where the inspiration came from.

Big Short was a movie that other people loved but I just didn’t really like all that much. I don’t even know why. I think maybe the cameo scenes made it feel a little dumbed down? I’d also watched Inside Job not long prior and really enjoye

This really is a fixable problem. Heavy taxation on NPD (non-primary domicile) housing solves this by itself. It's just that convincing people this is in their best interest will take a lot of effort - not to mention that there's

You’ve just described the Glass-Steagall act. It has a long and storied history. It was created in response to the Great Depression, then repealed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act because money. Then the Dodd-Frank act tried to have it reinsta

We probably crossed paths back then - I had made a few characters myself and collated a few packs of neo-geo characters that weren’t in KOF. Even ran a community website briefly. It was also for me about the same time I was getting into de

This is the correct answer. Mortgages work differently in the fastest-rising areas of the US than most anywhere else, in that a borrower can have no equity or negative equity in the home… and just hand back the keys. In the UK this involves

That seems incredibly optimistic. Asbestos exposure often takes up to 50 years to have a detectable impact, then kills in short order. Lead poisoning can take an incredibly long time to identify unless you find the source of exposure up fro

I don’t know that this is a good analogy. They’re both inherently high risk, but the value derives from different things. With small caps, it’s the idea that one or more may grow to produce outsize returns in the future, whereas the other i

Your response assumes the only victims are the people holding the bags, but its key feature is that it facilitates organised crime more effectively than anything in history. Now with that said, someone may respond to mention that it’s key f

If you don't mind my asking, have you spent much of your time since then working from home or in an office? I likewise very much prefer working from home and find I get more done, but wanting to get an idea of what it's like from

Strong agree. And I love Reddit, not least for how very different it is to HN, but I come here for totally different reasons (and totally different discussions).

I don't think HN gets enough credit for this. I've never tried to moderate a public forum, but given how low the standard of discourse is on the Internet in general I've always taken it for granted that the house rules and t

Not really. Starlink is their main competition, not SpaceX. This just seems practical and in everyone’s best interest. SpaceX get another recurring paying customer, OneWeb get their sats up. This is more common than you’d think when compani
