I don’t invest in funds, I only buy individual stocks. I also exclusively trade tech stocks, because that is the industry I know. I pretty much take all the financial advice you would get from an advisor and toss it out the window. My current positions are in AMD, CRM, TEAM, NET, SQ, CRWD, DOCN, and AAPL.

Nothing other than stock investments and divided’s. After working 40+ hours a week at my day job, trying to spend some time with my wife and 2 year old daughter, and maintain my “fixer upper” house I have 0 left for these “side hustles”.

They need to get out from under Dell’s thumb. Until then no new CEO will bring significant changes.

You contradict, and invalidate yourself, in your own argument.

> they (the local pub) would have a much harder time selling something unique

> Scale ...becomes the default choice

Scale and monopoly removes choice and uniqueness.

There are people that love Starbucks, there are also people that love their local coffee shop.

The ocean has far more effect on co2 than trees. The lush rain forests in South America are C02 neutral, because there is so much life in the rain forest it uses up all the oxygen it produces. The idea that the rain forest are the “lungs” of the earth is just a myth, the oceans are.

> That depends.

Do you care if you actually own your games? Or are OK with google owning the games, they just allow you to play them?

FTFY

> start playing games YOU own

Except YOU don’t own them, google does, which exactly why I would never get stadia.

Rarely is it someone diving into something questionable. It is typically either 1) a slow culture change, and one day find yourself sitting at your desk doing horrible things. 2) naivety and person is unaware going into the situation, but now they are in it. It is super easy to sit back from afar after the culture change, after the info is public, to say “I would never work there/do that”.

You assume 1999 is their birth year...could be a graduation year.

Hover has been great for me.

I don’t need to read this to know the answer. It’s because that is when they are used. It’s like having a lawn mower sit for 2 years and then acting all bewildered when you go to turn the engine over “Why did it break today!”

> My perspective is biased towards correctness and “WTF are you doing?”

What an arrogant and pompous thing to say.

That tells everything you need to know, the author thinks of themselves as some sort of intellectual God.

> It's crazy that we've given up control as a society of the only mechanisms for electronic payments

It’s no the ONLY mechanism. Crypto currencies solve this issue.

It’s the only mechanism for fiat currency.

This may or may not be a great site, I have no idea because the site doesn’t work well in mobile.

You assume that all web content is designed for a browser, and uses html. This is simply not true. There are very cool tools and tricks like getting the weather in a terminal just ‘curl wttr.in’ and bam weather report right in your terminal. There are other tools like ‘curl ifconfig.co’. It would make the tools bit more cumbersome if you had to ‘curl https:// wttr.in’. Unless the maintainers of curl had it default to https.

Edit: how to add an erroneous space because HN was doing something weird with the https link

Jokes on them, JavaScript won’t do shit if your target audience is not using a browser to render content. I got a site that renders in a terminal, much like wttr.in, ifconfig.co, etc.

Just use ASCII art instead! It’s cooler anyway.

I might like it if I didn’t have to sign up, and if I could self host it.
