   That's not too dissimilar from mine. I have cash I need to invest. I'm not looking to change any of my existing investments, so it's more a question of what the right move is there, with the wrinkle that I now live in the EU

   Yeah I kinda regretted writing "crash". Your comment lines up with my sentiment, though I don't put a ton of stock (pun somewhat intended) in mine due to "amateur" status. But I guess the "if not US, where?&quo

   No idea, personally. My question in the second paragraph was definitely not rhetorical. :)

   Maybe not investing advice but reasonable-sounding nonetheless.

   I agree. My transcripts, on the other hand, have a different opinion.

   Yeah, I really don't know what scenario leads to the US economy not dragging down the rest with it. Is there an argument that other economies would recover better than the US, in the long term? But at that point, one could just diversi

    I briefly resisted the notion that fd and ripgrep were useful when a friend suggested them. Then I tried them and it was such a night and day performance difference that they're now immediate installs on any new system I use.

    Did you have a point or are you just a troll? The whole context was "regulated heroin would be safer", but we've had a whole crisis of overprescribed (but still regulated) opiates that very much disagrees with the notion that

    You mention Fox News and people knowing when they're manipulated and I struggle to see how that squares with the current reality of Fox News being the most popular news network and rising populism that very much relies on manipulation.

    If we're gonna start factoring how well regulated something is, then sure, as long as there's a problem, something's not "regulated."

    Corporations hiring mercenaries isn't exactly a novel concept, though, so I remain somewhat unconvinced.

    Also... isn't the whole opioid addiction crisis basically because people were in fact buying regulated ~heroin?

    I generally agree with you but I'm not super sure the dichotomy is that important. > There's no company who can directly kill me unless, again, they get aid from some government. Companies can spend a lot of money to buy this g

    I put a lot of the responsibility for the PMing failures I've seen on the engineering side not caring to invest anything at all into the relationship. Ultimately, I think it's up to the engineering side to do its best to leverage

    Interesting. I didn't read it as flippant, myself. I actually thought it was voiced similarly to mine (which I don't think is flippant either) and to the point. Oh well. Mysteries of HN.

    I've never seen a working scrum/agile/sprint/whatever product/project management system and I'm convinced it's because I've just never seen an actual implementation of one. "Splitting up major pr

    I'm sorry but this feels kind of specious. Especially if the person has already admitted to trying to commit suicide (which they presumably did considering the context from parent comment).

    Sometimes I don't get why things get downvoted on here. What's downvote-worthy about this comment? It's in response to mine, and even though I don't really agree with it, I don't see what's so objectionable tha

    To be fair, I'm not hugely annoyed about saying "sous-vide it" as short for "vacuum-seal it and cook it in a water circulator (or steam oven)" since it is, after all, a very common use case for vacuum sealing beyond
