It takes a second to open an app, become a MAU, and then close it in disinterest. I'll admit this is my relationship with Facebook. I never see anything on there I am remotely interested in. Just old relatives spewing nonsense. But

People aren't as stupid as HN wants to think they are. Twitter will be judged based on how it actually evolves, not Musk's brand. Time will tell. Let's not pretend the site wasn't an absolute disaster before the acquis

I feel like I am the only one who has never made a single transaction on a mobile device. I refuse to contribute.

The truth is if it involves any form of money there are scams abound. Crypto is no difference. Our entire economy almost collapsed in 2008 because of scams.

I think this is an insightful assessment. Not everyone in a company can be top line. But I also think there's a lot more opportunity in using statistics/ml/data science in the top line than most companies practice.

It is though. There are plenty of growth stocks down 80%. Many of which were being pushed heavily by the Youtube finance crowd. The same ones peddling FTX (cough)...

You are right. If you are referring to the GP of my post I agree with them - there are many growth stocks down more than crypto at the moment. That was what I was trying to say but did so poorly. I was just clarifying what I meant by tho

I have an options account with TD Ameritrade. It took a few clicks to get. But it's pretty convenient traditional finance can be redefined when needed.

by nightski 4y ago
Sure if you are being pedantic you got me. I was just trying to make the point that there are very risky positions you can hold in traditional finance as well and you can be down thousands of percent.

by nightski 4y ago
Options very well can be down more than 100%. It's a leveraged bet and a very common vehicle in traditional finance. So much so you can buy/sell them on platforms like Robinhood.

by nightski 4y ago
This is not true. The riskiest stocks are down thousands of %.

by nightski 4y ago
As is true in traditional finance as well. If you want to escape fraud altogether you might as well not have any wealth. The entire 2008 financial crises was due to fraud...

Tailwind is just css classes. It was never meant to abstract anything.

Couldn't you just have a separate computer for googling? lol

by nightski 4y ago
I mean what is stopping you from making a Button component once w/ Tailwind similar to Vuetify?

I think the focus should be on how to improve animal lives as much as possible, exposing bad players in the industry, and reducing carbon emissions from animal husbandry. That's the practical solution now which would have the largest

That's a tautology. If you have manual testing, unit testing, and type checking then of course you are only going to see bugs that pass those. But what bugs did you not see hit production because these eliminated it?

This only works if you have a blockchain to keep track of it all. ;)

Many consoles come with one built in. We just use the PS5. I'm not particularly into buying tv shows, but there are definitely quite a few movies out there that look a lot better on a 4k blu-ray than 4k streaming.

At least where I live you can't turn heating off. Pipes freeze. Appliances get damaged. We keep it about 62F during the day in the winter whether we are home or not. We only get groceries twice a month. I only drive a 2-3k miles a ye

I’ve heard at theory that some are donating to extreme candidates on the other side to increase their odds of winning.

Sounds like you have a toxic hiring process anyways.

I don't know for me it's just not necessary. I know who has my back already. This would just feel like pandering. I'd rather people didn't act like I suffered a traumatic life event. It's just a job after all.

What exactly would you say makes me gullible? I never said it was open or free, that was completely fabricated by yourself and others. The repo doesn't even say it's open. It's purely a repo for reporting issues.

by nightski 4y ago
Posturing? The repo states its intent right at the top. Just using git does not mean you are forced to provide source code lol.

Falcon Heavy is not designed for crew. Starship is but is still under development. On the other hand, this launched today. We can afford the extra cost, I celebrate the success. Some day Starship will have its moment as well.

If I have learned anything from my time in technology, it's that nothing is ever optimal. As much as we fight it, the world is run on big balls of mud. I for one will always celebrate any success from NASA no matter how contrived the

And yet they are almost double the market cap now. Hmmm.

I wonder how many are in a similar boat. I grew up playing a ton of MSFS, Fly!, Flight Unlimited, Falcon 4, Combat Flight Sim, etc... Every major MSFS version was a huge deal. I remember having a high school event the evening MSFS2k came

I'm guessing you are correct, seeing as in a similar fashion I'd imagine there are a lot of people who have no idea what their 401(k) is even invested in. However when going through the annual election process it generally makes i
