Cocky? Might want to consider a rename before you run into the Coq situation.

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic. DMX had issues, but he was a talented performer who produced art (music) that was relevent to many in the age group who read HN. If that isn't you and therefore you don't understand it, you are free to not click or comment.

"take advantage of the recall"?

They just got way more valuable. There is no upside at all to returning them.

"what I assume would be any conversations".

Except it doesn't say that at all.

Stop name-dropping "Game theory" into everything. Life is more complex.

"without fear of personal liability"

You see no issue with that, seriously?

Is this still a thing? Does anyone know how it worked out for any of those kids?

Not "lots". In terms the entire music consuming industry, "more than previously (which was nearly 0)" at best

> Perhaps the worst moment in my young but flailing career came at age 22, when I was performing at Carnegie Hall.

Oh please.

Are you serious? Any reasonable read of the title sees editorializing.

"the same police"?

So, they are in their late 80s now?

Quadra 605 was the first Mac I had. I was like 13... I did so much exploring the early internet on that thing, I loved it. I didn't realize it was the cheapest option at the time but it makes sense now.

I'm so confused.

"Build interactive web apps"

"Create bespoke tools"

Any examples besides weird shapes?

So, you are tied to Git for eternity to preserve documentation?

Might work in practice for a long time, but Git is a version control system, not a documentation system.

That is great, but also deeply depressing.

STOP. Think.

So many people running wild based on one twitter post.

Do the right thing and delete your twitter post.

I thought this was like medical study...

Says some self-help blog/podcast? Ok.

for. sure. 100% ridiculous, yet not a problem that couldn't use a solution in its context.

but how can I short sell them?

Not extreme at all. You seem very out of touch with the reality of the enthusiast markets for such things. People line up for days for stuff like this. If all you had to do was provide ID online and wait 3 days at home... no problem at all.

no, but for seller reputation sake, WHO gets the sales matters a LOT. A limited brand that everyones knows 90% of stock is going to a reseller marking it up is going to quickly be done.

> The retailer really only cares that they sell

In the space of limited special edition stuff, a retailer is not going to last long with that mindset. If a brand gets a reputation that they have lenient buying restrictions, and all their stuff ends up at resellers instead of true enthusiasts, that brand will swiftly become irrelvant.

This article may cause waves in niche for Jordans and Yeezys, and suddenly those products are no longer quite as cool or worth quite as much, simply because now you know it was just some dude buying up stock... it really kind of takes away part of the fun ownership of the stuff in way.

Yea, if these sellers actually cared about allotment restrictions, they would invented some pre-registration account system that verified actual identification.

> the more intensive your verification, the lower your conversion rate ^ True, but selling through stock does not seem to be the issue for this segment of sellers.

To some degree the concert ticket sellers have already (finally) solved this, haven't they? I like your idea tho, that type of vetting costs money because it probably involves humans do some amount of work. I have never investigated what is available, but the fact that I would even have to investigate what is available tells me there isn't already some obvious choice out there.

You said a lot of words that can simply be countered by a 22yo saying "yolo" and they aren't exactly wrong either. As an individual, you do only live once. How do you want to spend that time? Being upset at the way things are, or enjoying it to the extent that you can? I'm not advocating for this thinking, just saying it is valid point of view. It is actually helpful to cut off you criticism of things at a certain point and focus on a realistic balance of concerns, cause, you know, yolo ;)

Hm. I had to stop and think at the part: "When the shoes went on sale an hour later, Hebert’s team swarmed the Yeezy Supply website ... each prepped with Hebert’s credit card information and capable of gaming a system meant to limit purchases to one pair per customer.

Are the sellers not able to limit based on CC number? Perhaps not. I know most websites don't actually have any visibility into the payment info that is usually handled by a third party payment processor integration.

Seriously tho, something must be possible. A payment processor feature that has allotment restrictions based on client+card or delivery address must be possible. Payment processors should be jumping at the opportunity to charge extra for that type of protection for clients that are selling limited high-demand products.

Obv using more cards is a workaround, but it doesn't sound like the hoarder even had to go that far.

Does "contact" have a definition I'm not aware of? They didn't communicate with it, and they did not touch it.

Why is everyone arguing about stuff in this thread instead of focusing on the less-interesting but still super concerning fact that something flew "right over the top" of a commercial airplane? Even in the least-interesting case of it probably a US test thing of some kind - wtf is it doing flying in commercial airspace? Can you imagine if it had hit the plane?

yep, not interested

Please don't make me use a slider. IntelliJ has local history, and I have that instinct to Cmd-S after every change. Problem already solved.
