If you're going to gamble on $TSLA, shorting is probably the worst way to do so. It has unlimited downside (well, at least as much your broker allows before margin calling) If you want to gamble, buy put options and size according to h

Do you want another authoritarian, corrupt, cult of personality leader like Trump? Proclaiming "both sides" and ignoring nuance like you're doing is how no one gets held accountable for the real harms that are taking place. P

There is so much corruption and impropriety in this administration that skeletons don't matter anymore. Looking at what sunk officials in previous administrations provides a sense for just how far gone we are, but it's not an indi

Software isn't going to save you in this scenario. If you're worried about local laws violating your privacy then buy a burner and only put data on there that's necessary for your travels.

Disbanding draconion intelligence apparatus that didn't exist before 2001 would not mean we're back to living in caves.

I think it's more protecting ones wealth rather than profit. But sure, I guess only people on HN try to do that.

Just keep in mind that we've had three 20% drawdowns in the past five-ish years that have all recovered. Even if we do have a crash, I don't think it'll last long. But, this war has thrown a wrench into things and I don'

I think a general description is better for surveillance/tracking like this, no? If they're at a weird angle or intentionally concealing their face then facial recognition falls apart but being able to describe them naturally woul

Ah, okay. I suppose it'll be part of the investigation but I wonder if the RELs were indiciating an unsafe runway which prompted the firetruck to ask or if they always ask for permission. Either way, I think my assesment is still corre

Well, sure, but in that case it's expected that the runway is closed.

Who's entering the signal that the runway is locked? What if they screw up? There are so many failure modes with vehicles and planes using the same tarmac that I fail to see how anything would be worth developing here that doesn't

I don't have kids, but I think this might be a generational schism where the default view of older generations is that having kids "is just what you do" without much more thought and younger generations see them as a burden.

Fraud is already illegal, the issue is that these scammers reside in other countries. I don't doubt there could be pressure applied from really high up at the diplomatic level but I highly doubt the FBI for example is going to be able

Okay, so not every single person pushing surveillance is a bad faith actor and there are some parents in there who truly want the best for children. How does that change the substance of my point about overreach?

This administration changes its tune based on what business/tech leaders are telling them[0][1]. There's no doubt that ICE will be used for selective enforcement (as we've seen them used at American protests) but some immigra
