I looked at the posters comment history before making the comment. They have a series of posts against covid measures, zero connection to BC and no history of posting about drug abuse issues that I could find. As a fellow British Columbian

>You would have to bar insiders from ever trading their own stock under any circumstances, which seems silly. Why is it silly? It seems perfectly reasonable to me. There are 10's of thousands of other stocks to trade.

What the submitter thought they were submitting: "See.. Covid risk is overblown! It's a scam!" What the article actually says: The increase in drug usage (and therefore deaths) is largely because of the stresses caused by

There's some truth to this but I don't think it was necessarily intentional . It must have been an "all hands on deck" situation getting M1/Rosetta ready. I'm PO'ed either way. My 2019 16" has been p

Google the phrase "useless use of cat". To some, it's a faux-pas. Personally, I like the aesthetics of cat for my own scripts. It follows the "pipe flowing" idiom better. There are performance reasons why "usel

It's dark/foggy and you're cycling along a bank of parked cars. Up ahead you see a flashing arrow pointing right but can't make out the car itself. Is your first, gut instinct "up ahead there is a car pulling out to

There's no evidence they were spies. Unfortunately, most of the affordable flights to other parts of Asia connect through China these days. I'll be avoiding those connections now - even if it costs significantly more.

There has been zero evidence presented that they were spies. The fact that they were detained within days of Meng's arrest and released within hours of her being set free should tell you all you need to know. The CCP has engaged in hos

Profit margin is more useful metric to determine if you're being gouged - Grocery stores: < 3% Profit margin, huge inventory risk. App store: > 70% profit margin, zero inventory risk. Put another way: If grocery stores cut gross

Retail typically has low single-digit profit margins and a massive inventory risk. Apple has zero risk and 80% profit margins (on the App Store anyways). Lastly, retail stores are where you typically purchase one-off items. They don’t keep

The study you cited sounds very promising but is far from definitive evidence. It hasn't been published. Nor peer-reviewed, nor have its findings been collaborated by other studies. In fact, the very article we are commenting on has qu

That was the most pedantic correction I've ever seen on HN in a while :-). I think the parent was just speaking loosely rather than spreading "nonsensical nationalistic tropes". Take it easy. Does being 5000 or 3200 years old
