Judging by the sentiment in this thread it is definitely not at peak hype. That's what everybody said when it was $17k and crashed to $5k. I loaded up on it, now its $50k. I bet there were a lot of similar comments saying that it would

Over 4.3 million guns were sold in January 2021. We are on track for another record year. Hard to tell how many were from people exempt from background checks, likely a few hundred thousand more.

$50-$100k judging by Glassdoor, very location dependent, but at a high level comes the ability to partner in new restaurants and ventures. Also it’s a high ceiling relative to other jobs that require zero education.

I would say fierce competition from local and immigrant labor, low barrier to entry, a profession where hard work is seen as meritorious, and a very high ceiling of prestige and monetary reward. It’s one of the few remaining industries wher

I don’t see any real pressure for her to recuse herself. The dominant political party in the USA ran on the simultaneous platforms of “the swamp is fake” and “the swamp is better than the alternative”. Well this is the swamp the populists w

Fundamentally disagree with the premise. Poker is a zero sum game. Startups are not. This doesn't read like it was written by somebody with a firm understanding of poker game theory. There are ways to compare startups to poker. This do

I was presently surprised at how easy the transition from Chrome onto Brave was. Multiple profile support with a great import tool. Switched to from GMail to ProtonMail as well. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get off googl

Referring to the bill of rights, which is a separate document from the US constitution. Functionally it serves a different purpose, whereas the constitution details how the government is structured and what it can do, the bill of rights enu

And given all of these screwed up things, you would put it to these people to write a better framework? You say "The only things people can point to that they like about the constitution are..." and then proceed to point out thing

Isn't the whole point of a racist dog whistle that the only people who can hear it are racists. If you are hearing dog whistles everywhere, maybe you're the dog.

This is the ultimate YMMV scenario, and heavily dependent on how bad the company wants you. At the end of the day you need to be in a place where you can walk away from any deal that doesn't make sense. Unfortunately people looking for

The much more real-world use case for me is guaranteeing I won't join a video conference call with my camera on. In light of all the WFH zoom accidental nudity videos going around, its no surprise camera covers have become more prevale
