yes there are bots just for this. brands like Nike and Supreme have big problems with this. Some arent even bots they are just people with a browser open, hoping to buying to resell/flip. its made easier by the fact that so many websit

why would firmware or OS be UPloading? os and firmware updates come down. no need for a device to be pushing anything at all upstream, IMO.

my comment was sarcasm/rhetorical, 11% cant tank 89% of a market. however, to answer your question, i would guess the majority of US based HN readers are in that 100k+ bracket. the audience here skews very high income i would guess.

Coinbase, taking a play from PayPal. It’s disgusting to me that these companies hold billions in others’ wealth but don’t think it’s a problem to not have proper support until they are absolutely forced to.

True, and probably cheaper buying in that kind of bulk. Still an impressive amount of fish.

These guys have to work 40 hours per pay period, which is two 24 hours shifts every two weeks. This is just slightly more than 4 days a month. They will sometimes work four days in a row, the last two days of a period and then the first tw

The only time this really happens is wildland fires, which are historically understaffed and underfunded anyways.

Playing devils advocate here but maybe we have too many fire fighters? I have four good friends that work in metropolitan fire houses all making well into the six figures. They constantly joke about how they get paid to do nothing and haven

costs a lot to feed bears. this years salmon price is estimated at $14-20\lb. if we take the average, a bear eats more then $100k a year worth of salmon.

a quick search found me this: "During spring and summer, bears eat around 5,000 calories a day, but in the fall, they are trying to eat up to 20,000 calories every day." Gives me a stomach ache even thinking about it.

FOSS is strange to me, some are trying hard to raise money to fund open source, while others appear to be asleep at the wheel. I have reached out to one large project we use a lot at work, multiple times, looking to make a donation, never h

facebook, zuck took all the investor money but maintained all the control.

i know first hand that facebook has tried repeatedly to solve problems with computers they KNOW can be solved by humans, but humans are more expensive. its about money, not the lack of ability.

A wait period is reasonably common. I’ve ran into it a well, really annoying. I think it’s a lame ploy to drum up business.

Fair and valid question. I got rid of Facebook over a year ago but still use IG, but I cringe when I do. Sadly I’m happy I left Facebook but I will admit I’ve missed a lot of news and events in friends personal lives. A good friends mom, wh

Agreed, I’d rather go back to manual labor then feed that machine. I’d done manual labor before, it’s sucks and the pay is low, but it sure beats selling your soul for a few greenbacks.

I once made fun of Justin Bieber(said he acts like a baby) on IG, and got a warning. Some guy threatened to Hunt me and my family, kill us and do bad things to our bodies and IG said it didn’t violate any rules, when I reported it. My accou

Good for them, but not all of us have billions and can wait for years for the perfect candidate while also constantly complaining about the lack of skilled developers. Some of us just train our own instead and get on with our lives.
