adventurer··on Apple is threatening to terminate my developer account with no clear reason
I had my adsense shut down on YouTube after fraudulent clicks in less than a year and less than 50 cents in revenue. Figure that one out, too.
adventurer··on The average consumer loses over $150 a year renting a router from their ISP
Years ago I was required to buy a Surfboard Motorola modem through one of the companies my apartment complex had an agreement with. I then moved and used it for a few years on Spectrum. Never had issues.
adventurer··on Fyre Festival Was a Huge Scam. Is Netflix’s Fyre Documentary a Scam, Too?
I think the word you're looking for is fraud. Securities fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud. How many counts, billions of dollars involved, etc.
adventurer··on Wells Fargo Hit with $1B in Fines
I have a feeling First Republic tends to care about consumer banking at this point because it's just not a big bank yet. But how much customer service do you need, anyway? I step foot in an actual bank maybe once a year, if that.
adventurer··on CEO Goldman Sachs “you can't dismiss Bitcoin”
“From what we can identify, the only reason today to buy or sell bitcoin is to make money, which is the very definition of speculation and the very definition of a bubble,” Thiam said. He added that in the history of finance, such speculation has “rarely led to a happy end.”

adventurer··on Republican-controlled Congress ordered destruction of vital sea-ice probe
I don't understand the gripe of the article and pointing out Republicans controlling Congress as some sort of bad guy deception. There is a new satellite for climate monitoring set to launch on the 10th. They wanted to store old technology for $500+ million and *maybe launch it? Something's missing here.
adventurer··on Show HN: Link.fish – API to extract data from websites as JSON
520 error here. Hug of death or they took your site down.
adventurer··on Tesla posts big loss, cuts production of Models X and S to catch up on Model 3
I can't imagine a expensive hatchback by Nissan is on most people's wishlist.
adventurer··on Tesla posts big loss, cuts production of Models X and S to catch up on Model 3
I'm not sure at this point, but they used to allow anyone to write articles. You were paid based on pageviews. I put their analysis of companies right up there with Marketwatch headlining a big crash everytime there is a down day in the markets.
adventurer··on Angular 5.0.0
It's dead because no one uses it anymore? It had a stable release in March.
adventurer··on Angular 5.0.0
When Angular 1 was left for dead I went to Knockout. I think it is very similar and also very simple to use.
adventurer··on Where Did the Fear of Poisoned Halloween Candy Come From? (2013)
This is why people don't trust the media. They make up a story out of nothing or stretch it to to a point where it has no relation to what actually happened. This article for instance is given a title and claim that bath salts are being mixed with candies but provide nothing to back it up. The video points out the drugs are being made to look like candy, not being mixed with it. They pull in two unrelated sources to drive buzz. Police found drugs in Franklin County then the reporter went to their own Sheriff for a generic candy statement. It is about 650 miles between the two counties.
adventurer··on Tech Stocks Roar Again in Faint Echo of 2000
*grown? Ah, geeze.
adventurer··on Tech Stocks Roar Again in Faint Echo of 2000
Looking at the charts back to 2015, Microsoft has grew earnings pretty steadily. I believe they attribute it to pushing everyone to the cloud.
adventurer··on How to Read the JFK Assassination Files
2,800 of the 3,100 documents have been released. April 26, 2018 is apparently the new date for the remainder of the documents to be reviewed by the President and potentially released.
adventurer··on After the end of the startup era
I do now, thanks!
adventurer··on Google terminating YouTube channels and videos (2016)
YouTube Red or as I like to call it sometimes, because frankly I can't remember, RedTube. <-NSFW
adventurer··on After the end of the startup era
I've almost given up on the Play Store. It's overblown with all sorts of useless garbage. Want an alarm clock app? There are hundreds, if not thousands. I couldn't even find what I was looking for. Paid apps., Ads, in-app. purchases. It's an alarm clock for heaven's sake.
adventurer··on Tech workers worry about age discrimination at age 40: Study
Imagine the cost of college alone.
adventurer··on Tech workers worry about age discrimination at age 40: Study
Higher-ups and execs don't care if you're mediocre and barely get the job done as long as you kiss their ass and take their low pay to make them look good and get their bonuses.
adventurer··on Tech workers worry about age discrimination at age 40: Study
You don't really have the opportunity to be discriminated against in the same way, so you probably don't really count.
adventurer··on New law bans California employers from asking applicants their prior salary
I'm pretty sure companies have ruled me out from even contacting because I left past salary blank. I didn't check their hr boxes and that was likely one.
adventurer··on Chicago-based RXBar sells to Kellogg for $600M
People who run and work-out believe they need a ton of protein. There's never enough. These bars likely are a bit more expensive than the competitors but are deemed worth it because they are simple, natural ingredients, which might be pretty hard to come by from any of the competitors.
adventurer··on Buy a Sofa Online? Wayfair Is Counting on It
Wayfair is just a drop-shipper as far as I can tell. They're just middlemen posting pictures and reviews up like everyone else trying to sell cheap crap at a 'discount'.
adventurer··on Disney acquires own streaming facilities, will pull Netflix content
People pay 10-20 times that for cable. It surprises me when people commenting think no one will pay for multiple services. Sure you will, but which ones will make the cut?
adventurer··on Ask HN: What tech companies do you invest in?
I think there is still time. They haven't released the Model 3 yet.
adventurer··on Ask HN: What tech companies do you invest in?
He is making a generalization. Apple makes about 80% of the market's profits with their phones. They sell a ton and bank on it. The other companies either don't sell a lot, or like Samsung, they sell a ton but barely make a profit.
adventurer··on Uber loses ground in US as rival Lyft accelerates
Was the correction you mentioned not caused by #deleteuber? It seems like the impact was a huge correction.
adventurer··on Snap's share price sinks, trades just above IPO price
I have seen several pro sports teams use them to promote their clubs.
