buggythebug··on The one person in America happy about tipping fatigue

buggythebug··on [dead]
Other than a land grab and closer proximity to Europe - what does Russia gain from this?
buggythebug··on Jim Simons has died
Why would you think it was a bunch of "finance bros"? You can BS your way to the top in such things as Sales because raw intellect and mental ability is not required. The same can be said for many aspects of finance. But you can't just do HFT or Quant because you want to - you actually need skills. Same way I can't BS my way into designing a rocket - you either can or you can't.

Shhh and don't tell anyone about mainland Greece yet to be disturbed by tourism even though it has always been very easily accessible

buggythebug··on New 13- and 15‑inch MacBook Air with M3 chip
Lots of worthless criticism. If you want the latest and greatest buy it. If you are upgrading from an Intel macbook air than get the m3 - who wants to buy last years version
buggythebug··on Ask HN: Slow thinkers, how do you compensate for your lack of quick-wittedness?
"Avoid 'quick decision' situations"

That's a great way to hear god laugh. Jokes aside - if the quick decision can be "walked back" or is not detrimental if you decide wrong then it doesn't matter and you should probably decide quickly to get through the "maze of life"

buggythebug··on Ask HN: How easy is it to become an entrepreneur in 2024?
You don't need to say "non-entrepreneur" - by default everyone is a non-entrepreneur if you're not an entrepreneur.

buggythebug··on Clicks – Physical keyboard for iPhone
Don't listen to the people on hacker news as they are a very specific niche of iphone users. Your users are those fat chicks with bitch on board bumper stickers who buy bubble tea because they think it's healthy.

What I'm trying to say is it looks great and just iterate!

buggythebug··on Bits of Advice for 30 Years
More accurate to say Smart people are curious - be curious.

Helping other people succeed guarantees nothing for you - people can be selfish - especially in business

Since romantic relationships are often an important aspect of one's life, I would also add: If you're interested in someone go talk to them.

buggythebug··on I spent 3 years working on a coat hanger [video]
My biggest issue with coat hangers - including this one - is that they are all thin so forget putting heavier shirts, sweaters, and especially jackets on them - they'll stretch out part of the shoulder and you have this visible piece of material sticking out when you put it on.
buggythebug··on America Is Getting Lonelier and More Indoorsy. That's Not a Coincidence
One time events are different than what used to be everyday, social events.

Also, hiking and skiing are not exactly the most social activities.

buggythebug··on Show HN: Restaurants in Peace – leave a remembrance for a closed restaurant
"Really good idea" - this reminds me of the south park episode where when the parents list to the children's music they hear poop sounds on top of the track and Randy says he really likes it.

buggythebug··on Way ahead of its time: The Remote Lounge NYC (2013)
Lived by here in the early 2000's - went a couple of times. Was kind of cool! Don't remember when it shut down.
buggythebug··on Why Is Everyone Wondering If Apple Will Buy Disney?
I think Disney is overvalued. I believe people's eyes get glossed over with this "Wonderful world of disney" spiel. They rely on this legacy portfolio of content and who knows what's going to happen with streaming and movies in the next 5-10-20 years because of this greater tech component that's influencing it.
buggythebug··on Why are US retail workers being denied chairs?
So they don't fall asleep and the place gets robbed.
