One of the first Show HN's i've read where my first thought was "would invest based purely on the single sentence description" Nice idea. Have fun executing!

The CCP literally sits on the board of ByteDance. ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming has stated on the record that he will ensure his products serve to promote the CCP’s propaganda agenda. Companies that refuse, such as Alibaba, are stripped of the

Hi, uh.... OP here (from twitter). Didn't realize someone posted this! And honestly I was expecting like 20 likes total. Anyways, want to clarify a couple things: - All of the information presented is accurate. And the questions are fa

Plenty of RF signals are going through your body right now -- what makes bluetooth here particularly dangerous in your opinion? Concerns come after some form of adverse reaction. I personally only have them in for 2-3 hours per day, and don

Can you clarify? How is $200k worth of something ever "worthless"?

For today. But I presume when these reactors are completed, the question is will that surplus be enough for the energy needs of ~2030. And there the answer is "we need to build more generation". No?

Can you show any sources for "same price = double the capacity in <renewable> + CAES storage"? That's a lofty claim and I have heard CAES storage at economic scales is still unsolved, else we'd see a rocketship com

The part missing from this concern: taking out 0% financing is often a prudent move. This pushes out your cost structure and allows you to keep more of your money to make use (investments, etc) where you can theoretically earn interest. It

All of these silver folks sound like nutcases. The amount of conspiracy thinking in this article, without evidence, is wild.

Perhaps not objectively, but PRs will often be reviewed during performance review season. So seeing someone at 10x less than someone else is a major red flag, as long as the quality of PRs is roughly equal.

I would argue it's not inflated at all. $400 a month for groceries? In SF? A single meal at an "affordable" restaurant is often $30 after tip.

100% exempt does feel high to me. I think my main problem w/ the tax proposals is that they are big, bold changes. If anyone wants to increases taxes even 1%, I want there to be a big fight about it. Serious demands in to budget effici

As a former resident, I'd be curious how the 30% who haven't had a decline in quality of life... live? How are they avoiding all of the change?

Just want to call this post out, as it sounds like someone who didn't pass an interview and is now very biased. I know the Repl.it team, including Amjad, and they're all some very upstanding people. I'm biased myself. Often t

Just going out to say the amount of speculation on this thread combined with character assassination is pretty shitty. This is one side of the story, we don't have much evidence either direction, and it's not clear there was any &

I think Retool is in the wrong, though I also think your emails were quite indirect. Better to be direct. I think it's very possible the CEO did not fully internalize what you were implying by stating they're using your CDN, etc,

This is really exciting. Feels like the start of something way bigger. With an app store and server infrastructure with public ports, I could also see API/automation browsing built-in. And hasn't nearly every strategy in the histo

The guy in the fur hat was arrested and had a Parler. This isn't hard. The majority of people arrested had Parler accounts -- it's everywhere.

Down $600m in 2019 and another $600m in 2020? With $2b in debt? Ouch. I'm reading this right, correct? I see the cash positions below are a bit different, but that's likely from... the loans? 2018 looked so hopeful. They only lose

I'm cautiously bearish on this type of idea -- the virtualized "2D physical space." I think it could work in virtual reality with Facebooks' emotive expressions, face tracking, etc. But if I'm in the middle of a wor

I am very emotionally confused, as I feel this is a huge step forward for open source. More code should be done. More developers just need to know how to quit the project when the time is right. This is weird to say, but this is strong le

Many folks shit on the modern financial system, with its centralization and Government-coupling, but things like this are actually trackable and reversible in that ecosystem. The safeguards have evolved over centuries. I am curious when cry
