So if people only turned on their AC past 80, that would significantly solve the problem? If not, why are you mentioning it?

Pretty simple explanation here: The cheap hotel is cheap because that’s the price it takes to fill the rooms up. If they could charge more, they would. Cheaper hotels need more amenities to attract guests, or else they’d be even cheaper to

Yes, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. On some level, people do get paid for seeing ads in the sense that the real content they want is being subsidized, so on some level, even if someone is "bullshit" swiping, they are

If you take the view that users should be paid for viewing ads via microtransactions (like through a browser like Brave), then isn't it reasonable to expect the same rewards for users using dating apps? Wouldn't it make sense to p

My suggestion, which many people will probably disagree with here, is to go take the following certifications: - CompTIA Network+ - Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate For extra credit, pass the Linux Foundation Kubernetes certs, get a

It's not a risk-free bet, but considering it's not a signficant amount of my net worth I'm happy to take the chance for a multiple ROI.

That's definitely a risk, but typically when crypto craters hard it's actually quite difficult to quickly get money into the markets. Wire transfers and ACH transfers usually take forever or deposits get shut down. It's much

Which recession stocks did you pick?

You should. Like it or not the world is finite with limited resources. There are winners and losers. If you want to help people, then win and start a scholarship or pay off someone's medical debt. No sense in suffering with everyone el

Well, this isn’t a great plan, but I’m betting that the bottom will fall out at one point and crypto will crater hard. Until then, I’m taking my DCA (dollar cost average) funds and keeping them in Gemini and Abra Earn (50% each) and getting

Not to go down this annoying rabbit hole, but if you and others didn’t eat it, wouldn’t it not exist in the first place due to lack of market demand? Is a short life with a quick end worse than no life at all. Would it be acceptable if they

I’m not aware of any events that successfully capture what HN is. If you want to make contacts, go to YC startup events and meet people. The smartest and most talented people aren’t usually wasting their time with general catch-all tech eve

Technically correct, the democrats were in power a few weeks before Sen. Kennedy, the vote that gave dems a supermajority, got brain cancer and thus dems no longer had a supermajority. I believe they were in power a total of 11 legislative

I had a fun issue with coinbase where they locked my account due to KYC issues. Which is funny, because I've been a customer for a decade. They locked my account and asked me to provide sources of funds. They didn't specify which

Why use openVPN anymore when you can easily use Wireguard instead?

OpenSea was popularized because the NFT minting functionality cost nothing for the artist. So all costs for the blockchain part was passed to the consumer. I believe this was the largest reason it became popular. Blockchain still doesn’t sc

Remote didn't preclude wifi, but if by remote you mean no wifi and data only, then you want a trail cam as another poster said. They aren't cheap. If you wanted cheap for this, then get a crappy android phone and hook it up to a s

You didn’t specify if it needed to be a subscription. Arlo and Google both have battery powered lights that work fine for a week or two

I don't see these as mutually exclusive philosophies. You can choose to make an action out of relaxing by voting to not be a strung-out stressed person that is pressured to do things all the time. That person isn't fun at parties.

Go get CompTIA Network+ certified. There’s plenty of material (prof Messer in particular). After that, play around with simulated network with GNS3 or similar software. Learn to SSH tunnel through multiple hosts. Play with socat and other l

A better legal position, until that is it's made illegal to accept unapproved blocks. PoW is not immune to the exact same regulatory pressure. The US gov can just force a fork of the chain by requiring US miners to only accept approved

Furthermore, gun control is back in the spotlight after Uvalde. I just attended the TX Democratic convention and at least three speakers argued to raise the age for purchasing firearms to 21. I don’t actually have a problem with that, but w

No one is suggesting murder here, nice strawman. I’m just saying I’m frankly tired of living in a country where a minority is in control of our political process.

by robcohen 4y ago
Let me flip the script here, how large does a minority group need to be before we need to do what they say? Conversely, when is a group small enough that we can disregard their desires when it conflicts with our own?

Unfortunately not, because it was over the phone.

When I spoke to collections they assured me it wouldn’t end up on my credit report, so I payed.

I literally just had a huge problem for my credit score. Apparently I cancelled a credit card for the water company which supplies water to a small property I own. They sent mail to the address telling me to pay, but no emails or texts. By

It’s not bad, but it’s missing a bunch of features. Auto locking after 30 seconds, clipboard clearing after 30 seconds, TOTP/HOTP interpretation just off the top of my head. May not be a problem if you’re using QubesOS, but it’s way to
