I wonder if Rush had a death wish or other motive for potentially dying while on a dive. Or this is really an extreme example of past successes fueling further trips. However, it seems like basic knowledge Rush should have known is to inspe

I got “scammed” three times on social media. 1. Purchased electric scooters by following an Instagram ad. It was around Christmas time. The scooters were really cool looking. Turned out, they used the promotional videos from another company

Do the sanctions prevent other countries from providing humanitarian aid? Russia helped North Korea previously, but has been strained in years, plus the war probably further strains any aid. China could certainly help, but that relationship

Can’t tell if this is clever propaganda to put a positive spin on this by using the words “much more”. They are still starving to death. “Much more” is relative in this case. The men are paid state sponsored wages and it’s not enough to sur

I don’t know much about the ETL industry. Are these ETL jobs for all sort of data? Accounting data? Log data? Getting the data from point A to point B? You mentioned UI. Is the UI so the customer can now move the data around or to visualize

I think there are some good takeaways or lessons from this situation. My first takeaway is if the dentists didn’t give the Dad an opportunity to compete on price and went straight to China. One day you’re getting orders and the next day you

@naet 100% this. Well said. Wealthy people are given a ton of leeway until all the leeway immediately stops. You’ll see this throughout history. Elizabeth Holmes, etc. A point made elsewhere, wealthy landlords have zero sympathy for those t

My key takeaway as well. The moment I read that line I knew it was just corporate budgeting. EBIDA strikes again. They purchased the company because they were successful and will then proceed to kill the company by doing the exact opposite

Does anyone live in an area that has breathtaking views of the night sky? Able to see satellites? Do you sit outside each evening to marvel at how beautiful it is? During two separate trips, I had the pleasure to be in an area that had zero

Seems like pizza making robots would be a success. Just the right amount of sauce. Just the right amount of cheese. Toppings spread evenly out. Oven sensors to get a consistent cooking time.

It’s too bad the CIA isn’t even mentioned. Horrible what they did to him and other students. I can’t remember, but I think the professors that ran the experiments were all mostly killed or killed themselves. Doesn’t excuse what Kaczynski di

Indeed. Had a really nice GPU. Quake 3 Arena was released to Mac OS first before Windows.

Pretty cool! Quick story. The first real computer I bought for myself was a Mac B&W G3. Amazing system. When Steve Jobs came back to Apple. I originally went to a Gateway store (remember those?) and configured a system. Went through the

I was an avid user of Digg. I remember having to force myself not to spend too much time on the site. I enjoyed the content. Always interesting stuff was posted. I also enjoyed the funny comments. I remember the epic downvotes. The Dumbledo

Queue the incoming Mozilla and Google employees to start spewing, “Brave has Crypto!”. Brave has been the best innovation in browsers in recent years. A pleasure to use. Kudos to them and their users for putting up with all the hate.

I think people would be surprised and sickened to know just how cooperative the big tech companies are with the intelligence agencies. Microsoft is especially cooperative, even as going so far to make sure their systems are compatible with

There have been some claims that Chainalysis has been able to make progress in de-anonymizing Monero. It’s hard to know what’s true. We’ve certainly seen where false information is used to steer people in certain directions. E.g. “Monero is

Agreed. There have been many defenders of Firefox on HN. I’m not sure why after all the crap they have pulled over the years. Unrelated mini rants. 1. They fill the default new tab page with garbage content. They have amazing reach with vie

100% agree. Fond memories of SC 2000. The open creation of any layout you could think of was my favorite aspect of the game. Anyone have a particular recommendation on how to play SC 2000 today on Windows 10?

Well said. So far, this has been my take away about Russia. On the nuke side of things, the fear is that Putin will have nothing left to win the war and will resort to nukes; even if it’s the only one they think might have a chance of worki

$18.3B in profit is pretty amazing by anyone’s standard. Especially with no pay bumps following. 20-30 years from now this will be used as a reference in history as an indication of how completely fucked up the world’s economy was at this t

I would have paid for Twitter years ago if I didn’t have to see ads or recommendations, or anything else other than what I chose to follow. I swear, I’ve always wanted to see the stuff I was interested in and not all the other garbage. Thes

I truly believe the Internet is to blame for this. as predicted decades ago. Media consumption, endless entertainment that promotes isolation, toxic thoughts about others and themselves, unreasonable expectations of others, fear of potentia
