I rolled my eyes when I saw your comment, then I watched the video. The lips and cheeks are distinctly botox'd.

It is worth noting that it is trivial to buy fake stars for a project you are not affiliated with. The reason someone might do this would be to "test" the purchasing of fake stars without risking contaminating their own project.

I think the most interesting thing would be to run this test against the list of Launch HNs, sorted by votes, grouped by class.

David Sacks wants to run for President. He watched Trump's election closely. He wants to be the smart guy that uses the idiot's playbook. He is working hard to get placed on as much media as possible as a commentator. He is connec

One I saw recently was "With developer signups from the world’s leading brands" and then a wall of logos under it. Felt like a stretch to use a company's logo when all that happened was someone downloaded your open source cod

I have a friend who is going through something eerily similar. To be honest I had to do a double take because a fossil fixation was a part of their breakdown too. It sounds like you are aware of the impact it had on your family, I would jus

I do this so often now it's embarrassing. I have always had a problem with tone. Even on email where people don't expect much tone, I manage to come off as an asshole. Now I just write out my points and ask Chat GPT to rewrite it

I would love to hear the inside story about why the old one was discontinued and it took so long for the v2. The HomePod mini is the "first device" we have given to our children. No screen, I am comfortable with apple privacy, acc

My question is a bit of a non sequitur, but I noticed that your project took off pretty quickly out of the gate. Congrats! I am curious what non-HN places have resulted in that level of interest in the project?

This is a society set up for this sort of thing. You are physically isolated both at the home level and the community level. There is nobody you can run to. It is a physical taking of your passport. Your desire to get it back or any words y

She cannot get her old passport. If her "employers" know she is leaving, they will stop it. I won't post about how we plan to get her out but I believe it is a good one and it has very littler risk to her or their brother. Pe

It seems like people like your content. Don't stain your rep in the community just because you want the next hit. You've had to post apologies like this before as well, so they do wear thin. Best of luck.

re: posting to github blog. It is simply to get additional stars on the repo. It's smart if you can pull it off, but it does get a bit weird on news.yc where you expect to be going to a repo when you see github links. The OP/Autho

Kraken regularly used shell/cover companies to hire employees. They have a pretty complex web of fronts not-called-Kraken. Entire offices are 'employed' by one of these companies.

Has anyone used the parent company's product (RapidAPI)? It seems like a proxy in front of APIs, most of which aren't actually integrated and need to be configured separately. I feel like I am missing something. I hope Paw doesn&#

This is unfortunately not much different than MS/Github's treatment of npm. They brought npm in, had lots of conversations, and then released a competing product. In the case of npm, they went on to buy them on the cheap. There wa

On my first visit to Seattle, you could ride the bus anywhere downtown for free. It seemed like a great way to provide mobility to those in need, while still having a paid option for those in the outer areas of the city to get home to their
