tribeofone··on Blocking Traffic While Protesting Could Become Felonies in FL
MAYBE people would not be running over these MOBS if they weren't afraid of being shot at or dragged out of the car and beaten to death. https://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/06/30/man-is-shot-he-drives...
tribeofone··on Exploding stars may have caused mass extinction on Earth: study
There is never a bad time to plug Egan on HN. Diaspora is one of his novels around just this topic. If you decide to read it, strap in, you're going for a mind bending ride. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/156785.Diaspora

Probably because you've never worked for anything in your life

He is the course correction. Don't let this place become an echo chamber, remember this: https://imgur.com/a/k5lDfx4
tribeofone··on Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds (2017)
> why it was necessary to reference trump in the vaccine portion

because it's the new yorker. Facts are optional, bias is required.

tribeofone··on Vermont proposes providing broadband internet service to all state residents
It was run by progressive policies instead of business principles. This is going to fail too, the same people are going to make the same mistakes. They could not even deliver broadband within the city limits, how are they going to do it statewide? Think Mosquito coast.
tribeofone··on Ask HN: Mind bending books to read and never be the same as before?
And the way the book kicks off is great. The story starts with the first letter of the first page. You're thrown right in.

LOVE weekend posts on HN!
tribeofone··on Sanders unveils plan to boost broadband access, break internet and cable titans
Sanders can't even get good internet or phone connectivity in his own State. He's accomplished little to nothing in Vermont and has pretty much been MIA for the last 6 years. Thinking that he can get anything done at a National scale (let alone International scale) is a joke.
tribeofone··on Magic Mushrooms Can Help Smokers Kick the Habit
Switch to edibles and gradually reduce the dosage, (which is hard or impossible with smoking). You'll start to crave it less and prefer the more moderate (and different) high from edibles than being stoned from smoking. From this stage, you'll be in a better position to stop altogether if you want too.

tribeofone··on New Evidence Suggests Satoshi Nakamoto Is Paul Le Roux
Some people are just orders of magnitude smarter than the rest of us. Look at Kim.com, how was this guy able to run a series of companies, become a multimillionaire and be the #1 rated Call of Duty player in the world? I can hardly manage holding down a job, and coaching my kid's soccer team!

tribeofone··on Rappers, sorted by the size of their vocabulary (Updated January 16, 2019)
The most surprising one for me is DMX. There is a lot of repetition in his songs, though I remember thinking that he was a solid lyricist spitting bars much more complex than his beats, which are certainly a bit more mundane.
tribeofone··on Snowboarding for Geeks
My 2 cents for beginners, most of these are covered in the article:

1. Get a flying-v or CamRock - makes turning easier and will hold an edge better until you figure out how to carve.

2. Don't put your feet perpendicular to the board, you want some angle, 30° Front, 15° Back. It will make it easier to square your shoulders down the hill and get your weight on the front of your edge.

3. Start on a Blue slope. Seriously. I hate seeing beginners exhausting themselves on green slopes straining to get enough speed to get on edge and then catching the opposite edge because there is not enough slope.

Third that. This book is incredible and gripping. There is no soft intro, you are thrown into the story from the first paragraph.

tribeofone··on Ask HN: How do you come back from a failed acquisition?
My terminology is going to be off because its been a while, but if they are serious have them sign a term sheet, that has a exit clause; if for some reason the deal falls through they reimburse you for the time spent. If they are serious about the deal they will sign it, a 500K exit clause, as an example, is small change to a 6b company but can mean alot to a small startup. I know this does not help with your current situation, but might be useful for people reading who will find themselves in an acquisition.
tribeofone··on Why I Will Never Return to the USA
I was on a bus over from Montreal, we were all in a big room after they had emptied the bus. One guy was born in Cuba and was Canadian now. The border guard asked him how he got to Canada? The guy says 'What do you mean?', and the border guard replies, 'How did you get to Canada, did you swim over?' Another guy had gotten a DUI in '79 in Canada, and the Guard was asking him about it in front of everyone. No joke, these guys may be doing their job, but they are a bunch of assholes, even to US citizens, and they are outside the law - you can be detained indefinitely at a border crossing without any probable cause, US citizen or not.
