somenewaccount1··on Notice of termination of Twitter merger agreement
LOL. The hate for Elon is strong in this one.

You don't have to be a lawyer to have legal experience mate.

I'm sorry my opinion bothered your grandness.

ROFLMAO.

somenewaccount1··on Help me identify possible tracking device found in my car
I'm guessing it's remote ignition, triggered by a fob key. Not all that suspicious really

Those monkeys at CNN are just there to turn the popcorn machine handle. I'll bet $100 gentlemen's wager his lability won't be over $100 mill.

I really don't understand why you all think Elon is going to pay anythying.

The 6.4 provision is pretty standard, and often the reason for deal to fall through, in that enough of the requested information was not provided. You really don't know what was asked, what was ignored, and what garbage data was sent back. You think Twitter is all innocent? Pfffftt. Don't be evil, oops, i mean naive.

He doesn't have to prove fraud, or malice, or that it wasn't worth it....all he has to show is that requests were ignored, rebuffed even though they are reasonable, and responded to with bad data. That's not really a hard case to win.

idk. the fact that the price had already sunk nearly 40% from his price over this period could clearly indicate that his assumption isn't without merit.

Tl;Dr, set memory constraints for you k8s containers, kubernetes-101.
somenewaccount1··on Ask HN: I’m 41 and still unmarried – what should I do?
If we have been chatting friendly for a while already, then flattered. It's clearly implying that from their perspective I appear to be very desirable.

And if it was a serious question asked early on, I would probably reply with something I don't like about myself, a weakness, if you will. It's not an entirely unreasonable question.

somenewaccount1··on Is the Ride over for Uber?
60m operating loss on 6 billion revenue = 1%. So raise prices by 10% and your making 540m. The market can bear that increase, but they still rather be a solo player and destroy Lyft first. All this doom and gloom is hubris.
somenewaccount1··on Ask HN: What exactly is a mindfulness meditation?
It's not a bad thing, it's just not as good of a thing. You want the benefits of meditating? Meditate. You don't want them? Than don't.

The bar is where you set it for yourself. And that's part of the point - complete internal reflection, rather than awaiting someone else's instructions and/or approval.

somenewaccount1··on Bill to grant crypto firms access to Federal Reserve alarms experts
Difference being vitamins can be produced in a profitable way despite limited value. Bitcoin, by design, can not.
somenewaccount1··on Bill to grant crypto firms access to Federal Reserve alarms experts
20k is near the floor of what it cost to mine crypto at scale, I think that's why it's a support point. Large miners have capital reserves to hold the Bitcoin if they can't sell it profitably. I'm guessing 2 years runway for well managed large operations. Which means one more 1/2ing in 2024, a price spike, and then it's final collapse 6-12 month later.

My magic 8 ball is done answering questions now.

somenewaccount1··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
You are repeating the feedback "...when you click...". Get rid of the click. Landing page should say what it does. If the author doesn't know or accept feedback on this website 101 topic, I doubt they revolutionized much elsewhere.
somenewaccount1··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
I can't wait for deno.js to really skyrocket. It solves all of this garbage packaging dependency nonsense.
somenewaccount1··on Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
I am a developer and still took a while to realize what it does. Also, that snowpack is probably just as sufficient.

It's a shite landing page that communicates little, and as a front end framework, well....shouldn't we expect more?

somenewaccount1··on Would you buy a home fully online? Or if you already did, how was it?
I've purchased 3 homes online and site unseen.

The first for 35k in 2011 in Oregon. It was worth exactly that and not a penny more. Land+metal roof+cedar siding......but the rest needs gutted and replaced. That was ok with me, I enjoy rehab projects, but fiscally it was a poorer choice than buying a finished home at $150 with a mortgage and renting it out immediately. The take away is, if the pictures suggest it needs gutting, don't underestimate them and don't overbid in the heat of auction battle. Also learned, when buying at auction you typically have 5 day inspection period to examine the property, but they will try to talk you out of doing so saying 'the bank hasn't yet accepted your offer' (which they technically hadn't, they can decline final auction price. All bullshit though, go check the property.

2nd house was less dicy. It was a proper house with a $360k price in Vegas being sold on the open market (not auction). I was very familiar with the area after visiting and looking at properties in person. The inspector was my final eyes and ears. His summary impression was 'its a fine sturdy house', and I got exactly what I paid for. When you call around for inspectors, try to guage if you find them friendly and straight u with you, they will give you the best advice from anyone.

Third property was last week for 110k. It's underpriced for the area, but the work required inside reflects that. I had pretty much decided I wanted the property before seeing it, but since it was only 2 hours away I checked it out in person and made the same final decision. The neighborhood is poor and 50/50 unkept houses, most folks wouldn't want to live there, on the other hand it didn't seem a 'bad' neighborhood with crazy crime. The takeaway here is not to only examine the property itself,but be sure to zoom out and walk around the neighborhood in Google maps too. What kind of cars do neighbors drive? How do they upkeep their property? What's street parking like?

Imho, it's ok to buy online sight unseen, just make sure to know your outs and don't be shy to take full advantage of them. If you can, see it in person after bidding, but before the final final decision.

Good luck!

somenewaccount1··on Ask HN: I’m 41 and still unmarried – what should I do?
I'm not comment OP, but you literally said "I was like, um, I’m not sure I knew I was for SALE?"

A women for sale is pretty much a whore, so it doesn't seem they read into rather than taking you literally.

But even regardless, the fact that you took his word 'taken' in a literal sense rather than the compliment it was intended as, and here your defending it again rather than reflecting.

If your crossing off guys because they compliment you with common colloquial phrases that you take literally and negatively, well, you will indeed have a short list of suiters.

somenewaccount1··on Google will remove user location history for abortion clinic visits
Turn it off? Use another device?
somenewaccount1··on Google will remove user location history for abortion clinic visits
Yeah....that's what I would rely on, the data being scrubbed. /S

Or, you could just leave your phone at home and commit the crime anywhere with the same location data anonymity.

On a side note, isn't it weird how attached we are to our phones it's hard to imagine going anywhere without it? Even to commit a crime!

somenewaccount1··on Google will remove user location history for abortion clinic visits
Yes. That's how privacy protection works. Both the good guys and the bad guys benefit equally.
somenewaccount1··on Google will remove user location history for abortion clinic visits
I completely disagree. Someone filed a fraudulent accident report with my insurance company (probably a parking attendant stole my insurance info from my glove box). Google location data saved me as I could illustrate exactly where I was at the supposed time of accident.

I have found it useful for hiking and stuff too.

somenewaccount1··on Uzi Nissan (nissan.com) died of covid July 2020 and the website is now down
not necessarily at all. A rational company would have offered a sum that to them was minuscule part of advertising budget, but a fortune for a single person.

My understanding was that Nissan hadn't even made an offer before suing him for 10M, at least that is how the story goes. They probably could have just offered him a million, or 10, and everyone is happy. Being they are a "large" corporation and all.

somenewaccount1··on Uzi Nissan (nissan.com) died of covid July 2020 and the website is now down
fwiw, you are not the only person who avoided buying Nissan over this lawsuit. While they may never be able to see the impact their decisions have had on their bottom line, it is likely more than most people would guess.
somenewaccount1··on DevOps is a failure
Lol. It goes both ways.
somenewaccount1··on DevOps is a failure
I hardly think renaming it will help anyone. Also, it just sounds like you and your ops team sucked at DevOps, I don't think that's true everywhere.

I have LG monitor that faithfully awakens, usbc to HDMI. Have you checked your power setting?
somenewaccount1··on Show HN: Ferris, social network for IRL activities with your closest friends
Without a way to email or text a link, 1) as he said above, i am not your sales person and will not likely convince people to start using this app. 2) it requires my friend sign up, and then off-app give me thier deets so I can whitelist them. Seems un-necessarily complicated. Just don't do creepy things with the data and put that in your messaging.

Good luck!

somenewaccount1··on The SEC's response to the 'meme stock' rally
Force apps using PFOF for free trades to also have a paid-trade market fallback option available.

The fact they don't consider this simple solution tells me it's all bullshit to protect the larger institutions.

somenewaccount1··on The SEC's response to the 'meme stock' rally
No, they are not. It just outlines potential things they could examine. None of which are practical, and none of which are likely to move forward.

Payment for order flow isn't actually the problem, large institutions not having, or willing ,to part with the margin collateral was. PFOF is just the gas they put in front to hide the real issue, and it's a real good one because removing it also hurts retail investors, making it unlikely to change much.

In the end, They will likely just put some rules in requiring these apps to more 'carefully educate thier customers on the risk of PFOF', basically continuing to protect the institution while insulting little retail investors as being too stupid for not reading the TOS carefully enough.

You don't have to agree with me, time will tell.

somenewaccount1··on The SEC's response to the 'meme stock' rally
Worse, thier advocating for the SEC to somehow be experts in ux design and impose ui restrictions. No thanks.
somenewaccount1··on The $10m OMG Fund
That could be a suggested solution. A quirky duplex where your stay covers the cost of also housing one homeless person. Who's back yard are we putting this in? (And not /s, I like the idea)
