If that's true, why didn't you give that feedback while working there? Sweeping changes in leadership - if that's true they might hired you.

Please don't do this. If it's here it's because enough people find it interesting . This shouldn't be surprising, and there's a lot of content about how money works that finds it way into HN. If you don't like

Damn. I despise crypto, but even I have to admit that there's some power behind this comment. Not because crypto isn't shit, which it is, but because letting someone else hold your gold is stupid. As stupid as letting someone else

People are taking advantage of the US by asking the US to hold their gold? Let me guess who you voted for.

The US has a history of pulling this kind of stuff on its allies. To mind comes pulling out of Breton Woods. To those not aware, at some point in the past the US told the world: the dollar is as good as gold, you can convert it at any time

I didn't know that. It's weird that I haven't seen this mentioned on the media once . Thank you.

I usually enjoy reading your comments, so I wish you'd expand a bit here.

When Israel started the war, links got taken down presumably because we don't do political stuff on HN. But when Iran strikes back, these links are allowed, presumably because hitting Microsoft offices makes it "interesting".

Slightly OT: how fragile are 3D printed things? Do they break easily? Do they feel fragile? The rods in thi design, might a person break them by accident? How about intentionally?

What's your point? It's 60 years old therefore can't possibly be stupid? Or perhaps you have no point and are just nitpicking that I called it new? Compared to the word "to understand" it's new, it's prett

OT does anyone else find it off topic to see the word "grokking"? Does that mean understanding? Do we need a new word for this extremely basic concept?

I wonder if what you described is due to the money incentive? I did theoretical physics (no money) and my experience totally matches what the other person described.

Reading your comment makes me think that you believe that the point of peer-review is to ensure that a paper is correct, or at least that specific aspects of it are correct. Is that the case? What do you think the point of peer-review is?

I'm talking about the line you quoted. At this stage I'm convinced you're intentionally equivocating.
