A better question might be "This sentence is false. True or false?"

Everytime it's crashed it's recovered to a point where the low is now higher than the last peak. I am fully aware of that and expect if it zooms up again, it probably will crash again. I don't deny this. But if when it crashe

It's far from clear, though. How much to tip? And to what businesses? If someone leaves out a tip jar at a taco bell, does that mean you have to tip them, and should the amount be different? By how much? Also, if you don't leave a

But that is just conjecture. No one knows why they failed the test more often, only they did. It could have something to do with their written language, for example, and shapes similar to triangles and squares in it appearing in a certain p

That depends... to and from Malaysia they are often the cheapest. They also have the newly reduced 7kg carry on rule (from the pretty standard 10kg). This is all subjective, of course, but I really don't see much of a difference betwee

This is a discount airline. They employ all kinds of tactics to part money from the customer, excessive credit card fees on top of a lousy exchange rate, very small baggage allowance hidden in the fine print, useless insurance offers, etc

Totally agree, if I was laid off I'd like to know right away so I could start job hunting right away. And if it turns our I wasn't I'd like to know that, too, so I don't lose focus of whatever it is I'm doing.

I think all these theories should be taken with a grain of salt, especially those that talk in universalities. People have many different reactions to alcohol and that changes as they age, their stress level, etc.

Just figured I mention tabletop simulator which is a sandbox and editor that allows you to recreate and play nearly any boardgame ever created. I'm using it to play a tabletop RPG with some other people I met online, and it works very

I'm left handed and have been studying Chinese for about 6 months, for 2 hours per day. Out of curiosity, I decided to learn writing Chinese characters with my right hand (also because I thought it was cool to be able to write English

This sort of thing sits wrong with me. Why don't they force the breeders to have better conditions for the animals, and include livestock and lab animals along with it? By doing it this way they aren't acknowledging there is a dem

Actually this happened 5 or 6 times already and crypto rebounded within a couple years every single time. So, there was no “told you so” moment for me at least. If you're apt to invest in new technologies and don't invest in crypt

I think repeating the same concept in different ways just makes things harder to read, not easier. Comments also sometimes reference code outside of where they are placed. This leads to them becoming misleading and incorrect. I find that c

Why do you say Haskell is an example of this? You can return undefined for anything, and have incomplete pattern matching, where if you don't mention a particular case, there is a runtime crash. An example would be head, which takes th

One problem is that a black hat could solve a lot of primes in secret, and then use those for a double spend attack. Specifically, a) Spend some coins to buy some other cryptocurrency b) use all their secret primes creating a bunch of new b

Imagine that you take a type from C or Java or something and add the ability to convert it into another type. I'm not talking about casting an int to a float, but actually manipulating the type without doing anything on the data side.

There is a whole other subculture around vr games such as rec room that could do this. You could probably create a room in rec room, advertise it on hn, and get enough people to create a community.

The thing is, though, if the world becomes as much of a dystopia where the people who have their data on file at 23andme causes some sort of major havoc in their lives, why do you think it will stop there? Either the world will turn into a

Whether they are good people or not really depends on what they would do to make their money, rather than how they would spend it. The lengths one would go to to become rich rather then where a rich person throws the breadcrumbs of what the

If the objective is to steal your car, the thief is going to use the least risky way that he can come up with. If you take away his ability to do it without having you start the engine yourself, this is what he's left with.
