mixmixmix··on Notes on El Salvador
You’re greatly misinformed. Russia and Belarus are tons safer than your average American or Western European city.

I'll use it more than this type or whatever document thingie

His definition of "disclosed" is whatever fits his own narrative.
mixmixmix··on M1 Pro First Impressions: Core Management and CPU Performance
Cool.

Enjoy your latitude, but you don’t have the right to tell me that I can’t enjoy my M1 max.

Different strokes for different folks.

mixmixmix··on I Was Robbed in San Francisco While the Cameras Rolled
Have you actually been to Medellin?

It's a fairly safe city and even safer than most American cities.

This isn't the city of the 90's Pablo Escobar anymore.

mixmixmix··on Ask HN: Most life changing things that you bought?
Initially, I was self conscious when I walked around with them and talked to people, but now I have no problems wearing AirPods Pro all day and talking to people with them on (Via Transparency Mode)

They work great for phone calls, music listening, noise cancellation is great, too.

Maybe not as good as Sony, but as an overall product, I love them and would buy them again in a heartbeat.

mixmixmix··on Ask HN: Most life changing things that you bought?
She didn't leave because of the purifier. She left you for other reasons.

You're most likely better off anyway.

mixmixmix··on Ask HN: Most life changing things that you bought?
AirPods Pro

The original ones were awesome, but these ones are even better. Absolute game changer.

mixmixmix··on Ask HN: Should I buy Mac book Pro now or wait for ARM?
I got a 2015 Air with 8 gigs of ram. I'm wondering whether to pull the trigger on the 16" or endure more pain for the next several months to see what else comes out.

Has anyone upgraded from an older Air to a 16"? Is the increase in performance more like a "OMG" or "Not bad"?

mixmixmix··on Peter Thiel: The Online Privacy Debate Won’t End With Gawker
Every time a VC tries to tell me "what's wrong with the media", I reach for my gun.

I'm going to steal this line. Great post.

Down since 8:48PM EST. Unacceptable in my book.
mixmixmix··on Why Pierre Omidyar decided to join forces with Glenn Greenwald
Pretty much!
mixmixmix··on Manager.io – Free accounting software for small businesses
I'm actually planning to build a native OSX app. Would love to talk more about your needs/pains. Shoot me an email if you get a chance. My email is in my profile.
mixmixmix··on Manager.io – Free accounting software for small businesses
Just curious, but what is the app written in? Is it something like Adobe Air?
mixmixmix··on Startup lessons
> #25 Don’t build something that already exists. Customers won’t buy it just because it’s yours.

Not a good rule. I know many guys that are making serious money because they improved something that already existed.

mixmixmix··on U.S. Expats Balk at Tax Law: American Citizen Renunciations Are Soaring
"I cringe at the hassle my American friends have to go through whenever they travel through a densely-packaged country region such as Europe"

As an American citizen who's been to over 60 countries and as someone who's currently traveling through Europe, I've been treated with nothing but warmth and welcoming attitude by immigration (and other) officials.

Never had a single issue anywhere.

mixmixmix··on A Passive Income Hacker's View on Wealth
I'm in Lithuania now. It's absolutely great. Friendly people, fast internet, (30-50MBps). And much cheaper than SF/NY.

Absolutely no regrets.

mixmixmix··on A Passive Income Hacker's View on Wealth
I've been traveling full time for the past 5-6 years ever since leaving a full time job in Silicon Valley. I've lived pretty much all over the world (now based in Eastern Europe).

I probably only make about $20-$25k a year off a few low maintenance projects, taking up random contracting gigs when I feel like.

The experience of seeing new places and meeting new people is priceless. No amount of money, equity or incentives can ever make up for that.

If I could change one thing, it would've been quitting my full time job even earlier.

mixmixmix··on Living the lonely solopreneur life? Why not try co-working?
Is it me, or is there absolutely no "depth" in these medium articles?

This content isn't any more thought provoking than the content you find in any mainstream magazine at an airport kiosk.

mixmixmix··on The Woman at the Heart of Everything Google Builds
>> ("an attractive young woman"), it comes across as misogynistic

No, it doesn't.

I think you should invest in a good dictionary. You're walking on very, very thin ice.

mixmixmix··on The Woman at the Heart of Everything Google Builds
Once upon a time the word "misogynistic" actually had real meaning.

But, thanks to mostly people like you, that word has been hugely trivialized to mean not much more well... than anything really.

Let's not burn the OP at the stake just because he used a word that you think is somehow improper. That's something you have to deal with all on your own.

"And talking about the Internal Tools team as "that shit" is equally unprofessional and demeaning to everyone who works on it."

Really? Did you go around and ask everyone who works there if they feel "it's unprofessional and demeaning"? Or is it just you who feels that way?

Please don't blow this out of proportion.

mixmixmix··on Ask HN: Passive income ideas?
Got any other "light bulb" moments to share?
mixmixmix··on Ask HN: Passive income ideas?
No such thing as "passive income" except maybe buying securitized debt (bonds, etc. but then you got inflation to worry about).

A business is a business; the amount of labor you'll have to put into it will be proportional to the supply and demand that exists in that specific market.

Sorry, but there's no free lunch.

I'm not surprised given creepy sites like these out there:
