   Thanks for sharing this. My first (and only) home purchase was a FSBO and I also did not have an agent. I didn't see what the point of it was from the buyer side. I'm hoping to sell soon and your 4% buyer agent commission techniqu

   sad but true. I'd be interested to know if this data (i.e. non-Google search engine queries) is sent to Google. I'm assuming it is.

   On a project I started last year, I used SHA512 (probably overkill but who cares) and then bcrypt. Allows users to have passwords of arbitrary size with the goodness of bcrypt. Then AES256 the result and use that. I read somewhere that&#x27

   Same here, but playing in a band instead of just going to see them. Heavy metal, small practice space. Heavy-handed drummer. I too thought earplugs were “lame”, but eventually got sick of not being able to hear for 4 hours after band practi

   Take the post title and replace TikTok with any startup you've heard about on HN. Beyond cliche at this point.

   I definitely got started without these things, though I was working for an agency. To do it full time without those things? Never.

   Agreed. A single 5KB email isn't bad, it's when that email turns into a back-and-forth chain of emails with your signature attached to each reply.

   My local Best Buy has expanded their "toys" section by probably 10x what they had when I worked there 2005-2009. Lots of non-tech-related stuff like Melissa & Doug, too.

    My "smoking buddy" from college has been in Portland for about 5 years now and the deals he's told me about since legalization are just ridiculous. $80/oz for first-time customers. Regular deals at $5/g or $10 for

    But the next post you read could be the 2nd-in-a-billion(s). I could see this behavior from a "mod" who had such capability or a rogue employee with database access, but the CEO personally?? Where does it end? What threshold must

    I see your point, but it's bad for Reddit, too. Can their users (and consumers of their ads) trust that posts aren't being doctored?

    To be fair, that's jQuery Migrate 1.2, which was released in 2013. Not much better, but still... jQuery 1.11 (the version it's actually using) was released in 2014.

    Totally anecdotal, but I'm a former-smoker and I'm pretty sure everyone I know who has switched from combustion to vaporization would tell you that the acute effects are significantly lower. Less coughing, less shortness of breath
