I can confirm, HN, GitHub and Slack are very slow for me as well. Google is very fast, on the other hand.

Roadmaps! Like those spicy ICOs in 2017! I wonder if 90% of them failed, or is it 95%?

In the past week I got a bunch of obvious spam in my inbox. They all had a garbled subject line with numbers instead of letters, missing spaces and wrong capitalization, and the body was an image. It's crazy, how are they getting throu

I got a few of those myself. They use Unicode characters that look like ASCII letters and probably Google doesn't handle it well.

How do you know that a program does this, without running the binary? I'd say that requires expert knowledge not available to most people.

That's not what symptoms are.

That's not accurate. It has several benefits (like interest payments being deductible expenses) and wealthy people can continuously borrow to pay off other debts as their other assets appreciate. You just need the rate of appreciation

It is reasonable in this analysis, which is trying to compare normal people to billionaires. As explained in the article, wealthy people can get loans collateralized by their financial assets. Then they proceed to spend and pay back the loa

Read the article again. The "true tax rate" is calculated on the _increase in wealth_, which is a very reasonable alternative to income.

That's very effective for the top results. But if legit sites cannot rank in the first spots they'll get orders of magnitude fewer visits than the scam sites that employ SEO hacks to get the first places.

Answer to question two is yes for Bitcoin and all blockchain like that. There are some new ones like Mina who propose a different system in which you only need to verify the last hash. Answer to question three is not restricted to Bitcoin.

This feature is more evil than I thought! After turning it off, it displays a message on top of the comments with a link to turn it on. Incredible. https://imgur.com/9pZpTq2

So the profits would go to the offshore corporation, while the losses would go to the US one? But wouldn't the IRS grow suspicious of seeing losses every year?

The blockchain IS a third party. It's maintained by other entities.

You are missing the point. The whole issue is that they are advertising with their competitor's name.

This happens to me almost every day, when there are no incidents/outages. And it's not a network issue, the other apps work fine (e.g. WhatsApp).

They sell unused capacity at a much lower price (spot instances on AWS, preemptible VMs on GCP). I don't know if they power down some servers if usage stays low for a very long time.

Those buyers are institutional investors and they get a huge discount.

How do you know that they have little impact? That's just pure speculation on your part.

That's not the point. Those personalized ads may be very useful, but they require extremely invasive tracking that the user does not necessarily consent to. On desktop I can use uBlock Origin and Firefox to block as much tracking as po

> “Here’s the type signature, have fun!” My experience with Go libraries in a nutshell. One of the factors that made me abandon that language for others that for me are much more productive.

This happens to me daily with Google! It's so incredibly annoying. I waste so much time because >70% of the time something moves and I click the wrong link. Can we do something to disable that feature? I'll try disabling JavaSc

But can that be effective, really? Many times economic sanctions are a joke (see the ones dished out by the UN). If they become too hard, a nuclear state can threaten nuclear action just the same. What then?
