nslice··on We have surpassed 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries that sustain human life (2023)
I agree. If we can’t collectively fix our planet we’ve destroyed, our natural birth rate declines seem to be a natural response to overgrowth. Seems like a healthy mechanism at least.

Love this too!
nslice··on Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2023
Wyze Smart Deadbolt. $79, secure, and convenient. You never have to worry about losing a key again. I live in a cold area and it works reliably. The auto lock is so nice so you don’t worry about if you locked the door. Also great to allow guests or contractors in if you can’t go home to let them in. Makes my life so amazing.
nslice··on More than 1M fewer students are in college, the lowest numbers in 50 years

nslice··on Everyone Loves the $100M Deli
This isn't just a deli. This is a financial engineering firm.
nslice··on Amazon 2020 Letter to Shareholders
Yes Amazon is one of those institutions that you only see once in a lifetime. While they have had faults, they've always 'relentlessly' worked to improve. There is no doubt that Amazon may succumb to the same late-stage effects that have decayed those mentioned organizations.
nslice··on Chinese hacking spree hit an ‘astronomical’ number of victims
My title company and me by association are victims of this hack. They stole important information regarding my home purchase to send fraudulent wiring instructions. I’m now out the deposit $130,000.
