The anti-anti-crypto sentiment is more outspoken here. No need to wonder their agenda (hint: it involves personal gains). Anyways, negative press floats up and stirs the pot. So here we go

Depends on where. In Latam, I was quoted like $200 to try to ship back a small package to the US. We gave up on that quick. In Mexico, it was just about $30

More airport-related benefits: - Be able to sprint through an airport to be front of line for border patrol. - Not have to wait along with 100+ people at the baggage claim and just walk out to grab the first taxi. - Not have to wait at long

I've had a HMG 3400 SW and my wife a Gossamer Gear Mariposa for 6 years. We got it for backpacking 5+ days in US wilderness, but they act as our one-bags across Latam. We didn't have a "one bag" mindset, we always just p

> One-bagging is also a poor choice for business travel, since you likely want a smaller computer bag so you don't have to use your much larger "one bag" as your office bag. I just keep a very small shoulder bag inside my

Country A cheered decades ago and is now not doing well; Country B (the most modern of LatAm) is cheering after an election therefore they will not do well? RIP to every country then.

I'm in Santiago, Chile right now. It was hopping. So much optimism on the streets. People partied and chanted and honked until 3AM. I'm jealous of the people of Chile to be able to look at their country and see hope.

Fake game? It's an immersive environment. My wife was harassed in Rec Room, a game that looks like it's for kids, it definitely was not comfortable. People are going to get triggered differently just as some may have by headlines

I think financial security for the 60-70% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck. It's hard to think critically or rationally when you're barely floating. Misinformation offers them respite when they're given scapegoats for

Since they keep track of who starred what, that means each star is a row. Does that mean they actually delete these rows? Why not just keep the rows, perhaps with a flag or join to filter the repo out of the API.

Money isn't their issue. They get $500M/yr from Google, the question is whether they will spend any extra money in a meaningful way. I don't think more developers or whatever will change their course. FYI, donations go to the

Hmm, I go backpacking often on six day trips into wilderness, often off trail at 12K. We're beat by 10mi and start slogging past 13mi. And we dialed our gear down to ultralight (15lb packs with canisters). I think you may be projecting

Potentially, if they aren't performing, it's a drag. For me, not really about avoiding such people, but whoever you choose should blow your mind and you should have utmost respect for.

Not OP, but if it's a full-on growth startup, one advice from a YC video is 50/50. Because the majority of the company building is still ahead of you (think 10 year timeline). And you want a true cofounder to have full skin in the

How are you supposed to turn the coins into FIAT where it's actually usable? At that point, you cannot move your money around however you like, you can only move the tokens around on the blockchain.

I used to bike Outer Richmond to Mission daily. It's okay, but not ideal. SF isn't very well known for being bike-friendly outside of the major bikeways (worried about getting doored heading down Mission or Valencia). Some stretch
