The person I’m commenting to doesn’t understand even the most basic elements of OpenSea so trusting them on anything related to crypto would be foolish

All of the comments here are are exactly correct and how things should work in a free market. Dangerous work? Unpleasant circumstances? Boom and bust cycles? Excellent - pay should be stellar. I don’t care about owners bitching and moaning.

You are thinking small and that’s fine. It is wonderful to bootstrap an app and make income. However some ideas are much larger and need a big team and years of effort before the big payoff.

Honestly - don’t care. The internet makes me able to see endless tragedies big and small 24/7. I help my family, friends, and community and pay it forwards. I sleep like a baby.

Yes and you mentioning about hypothetical stays in Compton Airbnbs was such a massive addition to the discourse that my reply was such a downgrade! Incredible the mental hoops people like yourself jump through

Yes Compton would be so much better without police! If only we could defund them

Always fun to learn new tools and methodologies though no matter what :) I don't disagree, but to me you unlock your true potential by learning to code. Once you are proficient in the art, the framework / language / tools d

I don’t think no-code exists. It is a fools errand. No matter what the tools are for your profession - Photoshop, Unity, SolidWorks, Wordpress, or some new No or Low-code stack - you will quickly realize that having someone skilled in the t

Clearly I am indeed speaking with someone who has no idea what they are talking about, which as I previously stated is the default HN crypto commenter.

Everything is building blocks. For the project I linked it’s fully collateralized - you can’t withdraw money that would make the system unstable. Other projects build on other pieces of infrastructure to do all of that automatically. Again

That is the whole point of this thread - people who choose not to reproduce because of global warming, Trump, or [insert some society problem] is saying “I’d rather humanity die off than try and let future generations solve the problems I s

It means “I would prefer the human race dies off rather than reproduce”. Sure, you can make decisions for your own health and personal reasons. But if you truly decide not to have children because of “global warming” as if the planet gives

I could not possibly disagree harder. I started working in 8th grade and worked through high school and college. As my friends partied in college I remembered those shitty jobs and why I was in college, it was 100% a motivator for me to wor

I just think the band-aid is absurd of the government paying you interest matching inflation which they themselves caused which is then taxed to go back to the government so they can spend it and cause more inflation.

Don’t forget you have to pay income taxes on the money the government inflated away from you!

I mean, why does the central bank have an official 2% inflation target? They should have an official 0% inflation target - stable prices, not 2% increasing prices. Increasing is not stable! And people always want more - that's the natu

In capitalism the default is freedom and decentralization. So people can choose to act immorally and that’s a trade off we accept as a price of freedom. We set up a criminal justice system to fix that bug and set monetary incentives in a wa
