cde-v··on Bluesky social network drops invite-only sign ups
Are tweets sorted chronologically again? Or able to be sorted? I had given up.
cde-v··on Ask HN: Help me solve a dilemma, study in the US or take a job in the EU?
Get the job unless you are going to a top 20 undergrad in the US, anything lower than that and you might as well go to a community college.
cde-v··on Stirling-PDF: local web application to perform various operations on PDFs
Edge is surprising decent for marking up PDFs.
cde-v··on Breakdown of faults by car brand: Tesla has replaced Dacia at the bottom
By that logic every prostitute runs a startup.

edit: (not really a great example, just wanted to play off of 'the world's oldest profession')

Better example would be calling Macy's a startup because Hudson's Bay Company was founded in the 1600s.

cde-v··on Solar and wind to top coal power in US for first time in 2024
Are you saying coal is more egalitarian than nuclear? Or that 'they' will outlaw solar eventually because it is easy to build a decentralized grid?
cde-v··on YouTube is now blocking ad blockers so I make ads run faster
The social contract has broken down so yes all of that is now okay.
cde-v··on Marissa Mayer admits Yahoo should have bought Netflix instead of Tumblr
Netflix is still around 2/3's of its max valuation and has a PE ratio of over 40. It is doing just fine if you step outside of the HN bubble.
cde-v··on America's shoplifting problem, explained by retail workers and thieves
Without even going that far, why should blue collar workers respect the law when the white collar workers are corrupting the legal system for their benefit? Why should the poor tolerate a class war robbing them of their livelihoods and not retaliate?
cde-v··on Why 10B snow crabs starved to death in the Bering Sea
Humans.
cde-v··on Self-Checkout Is a Failed Experiment
Only for the boomers who still struggle with touchscreens and digital instructions and want a poor person doing the checkout for them. I have literally never seen someone younger than 50 have an issue with self checkout.
cde-v··on CNET is deleting old articles to try to improve its Google Search ranking
Considering their job can be done by literally anyone, they have to differentiate somehow
cde-v··on Bordeaux should be a climate change red flag for the wine industry
Just wait for spotted lanternflies to take hold, they will devastate grape crops.
cde-v··on A fridge from 70 years ago has better features than the fridge I own now
Having to throw a fridge in the landfill every 5 years negates the energy usage and ozone issues.
cde-v··on [dead]
Oh no, they bought things from China like everyone else.
cde-v··on Is technical analysis just stock market astrology?
The fact that you think a finance degree is centered around trading stocks tells me all I need to know about you and your beliefs. And even on the topic of stocks/derivatives, are they teaching the wrong dividend discount model? Or the wrong black-scholes model? Did they get the equation wrong or something? Or are you just mad because they aren’t teaching TA?

And just wondering, using TA, how would you calculate how much to change an M&A offer in order to compensate for including a poison pill?

cde-v··on Is technical analysis just stock market astrology?
Any discussion of TA is shallow because TA itself is very shallow.
cde-v··on Is technical analysis just stock market astrology?
Yeah but what about all the anecdotal evidence in this thread that it works??? /s
cde-v··on Is technical analysis just stock market astrology?
Glad to see this is the top comment. It frustrates me to no end to see people lapping up TA like it is remotely useful when we spent our first semester on finance at university essentially disproving TA signals. It was literally Finance 102.
cde-v··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
It is even more wrong to conflate someone’s parents’ economic success with intelligence.
cde-v··on Neopets is coming back bigger and better than ever
Is it still going to be run by Scientologists?
cde-v··on India could rise to the world’s second-biggest economy
Sorry but "rising" is not allowed in traditional Indian institutions. India should accept the position it was born into.
cde-v··on France passes bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera, microphone
I'm sure this will stop the rioting.
cde-v··on Astro framework lowers competitors by ~40% on performance graph to looks better
Yeah same, I clicked then half a second later realized it probably wasn't going to load... then it did. Seems like Enron might be backtracking already.
cde-v··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2023)
Niche
cde-v··on FedEx Accused of Largest Odometer Rollback Fraud in History with Used Vans
Stop ignoring the class war and start fighting it.
cde-v··on Ensuring the Successful Launch of Ads on Netflix
Seems like someone is trying to save face after that failed reality tv live stream event on Netflix.
cde-v··on NYC food delivery gig workers score a big minimum wage victory
Agreed. Farms should not be businesses and should be taken over by the government.
cde-v··on Reddit goes down fully as thousands of subreddits protest API changes
Your impression is correct. Reddit does not use Cloudflare and an employee explicitly said so in a post this morning about the cloudflare issues because people were blaming the reddit outage on it.
cde-v··on SEC Accuses Binance of Mishandling Funds and Lying to Regulators
Just because you can and do doesn't mean you should.
cde-v··on High prices make textbook ‘piracy’ acceptable to most students
