txsoftwaredev··on Pelosi and a lifetime of trading
You can trade options with just a couple of bucks or on margin. You don't need a bunch of cash. I've done it on Robinhood and bought some calls for a few hundred bucks.
txsoftwaredev··on Restaurant workers quit at record rate
When you pay people to stay home what do you expect?
txsoftwaredev··on Poll: 1.8M Americans have turned down jobs due to unemployment benefits
Wouldn't you rather have kept that money instead of paying for others not to work? I know I'd rather have more in my paycheck if I had the option.
txsoftwaredev··on Facebook keeps recommending political groups
"Google FUNDED virus research carried out by Wuhan-linked scientist Peter Daszak for over a decade, new report reveals, amid accusations Big Tech has silenced COVID lab leak theory"

If this is true now you know why Google has pushed so hard on controlling any information around it.

txsoftwaredev··on John McAfee found dead in Spanish jail after court approves extradition to US
And if the ladies stories about his hammock usage is true...
txsoftwaredev··on Software Developer Shortage Is Coming
I would concur. My inbox is flooded with companies looking to hire now (lots of remote), even presenting salary and benefits in the initial communications. The salary ranges seem to have gone up as well from what I was previously seeing.
txsoftwaredev··on Five year olds 'having panic attacks over socializing with their friends'
I'm so thankful to be in Texas and to have made the choice years ago to home school our kids. Though it has still been tough, being in a better position to make our own choices has made the past year easier. Our kids have mostly been able to continue doing their normal routine with schooling and seeing friends. I feel terrible for the kids that have been forced to leave their normal day to day routines and friends.
txsoftwaredev··on Ask HN: Have you found a good desk chair?
I bought one used off of ebay for my home office. It was pricey for a used chair but worth it. Now I want a 2nd one for my gaming PC.
txsoftwaredev··on Google removes its head of diversity after 2007 blog post surfaces
How private is it when you can easily read his thoughts online? If you want a private life then keep it private.

Republicans do not uniformly oppose it. That is not true.

txsoftwaredev··on Ethereum will use around 99.95% less energy post merge
We should impose a large tax on data centers for their massive energy usage to power such "valuable" resources like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
txsoftwaredev··on Things I wish someone told me about getting a promotion
I stopped looking at this site (.dev) as it turned in to a big SJW mess and less about technical and career growth.
txsoftwaredev··on Things I wish someone told me about getting a promotion
"I've had (cis, white, male) friends tell me that they were basically promoted on potential and didn't have to actively go out of their way for several months to prove their performance. It'd be nice if that happened to the rest of us, but don't bet on it."

Where is all this white privilege? I seem to have missed the boat (I have the correct pigmentation apparently). I had to provide value in order to be promoted / get raises and actually speak up and ask for it.

txsoftwaredev··on $365B wiped off cryptocurrency market after Tesla stops accepting Bitcoin
Which he stated was done to prove liquidity.
txsoftwaredev··on When Stockton gave people cash, they got jobs
They can raise wages, and some companies already have (Chipotle). But they will pass that cost on to the consumer and now your worker's raise is negated as inflation eats it up.
txsoftwaredev··on Estimation of total mortality due to COVID-19
"Personally I lost access to badly needed medical care due to lockdown. Was quite scary."

My nearly 70 year old mother is in the same boat. She recently dealt with breast cancer treatments (a rare form) and thankfully was given the all clear before covid. She still needed to do follow up visits, more testing etc. but due to covid was told to stay away. Even though she was more comfortable with the risk of getting covid vs. ensuring her cancer is in remission they wouldn't see her.

txsoftwaredev··on On incels, dead bedrooms and the hard problems of loneliness
Divorce rates have been falling over the past decade. In 2019 divorce rates hit an all time low.
txsoftwaredev··on DigitalOcean data breach exposes customer billing information
"Hello Joe Smith. This is amazon. We had an issue processing your card ending in 1234. Please send us and updated credit card details or we will have to close your Amazon account."

Something along those lines. Someone more creative could craft a better message.

txsoftwaredev··on Flu has disappeared worldwide during the Covid pandemic
Better yet just stay home.
txsoftwaredev··on Flu has disappeared worldwide during the Covid pandemic
"One might ask, what incentives are there to over report a given illness at any given time?"

It allows the government to create fear and panic and pass broad sweeping bills with huge budgets. All in the name of "Covid Relief" etc.

txsoftwaredev··on Surprisingly little alcohol can affect heart rate variability
I've had a similar experience. I've been using delta-8 at night for sleep and I've added 1-2 hrs a night according to my fitbit. I don't feel "hungover" or similar like I would from alcohol or OTC sleeping meds.
txsoftwaredev··on Spotify continues to remove Joe Rogan episodes
So you believe that a podcast episode that is listened to once by a user is more likely to have an influence and be "problematic" than a song that is listened to daily and memorized?
txsoftwaredev··on Spotify continues to remove Joe Rogan episodes
Spotify employees seem to have no issue with songs about killing police, assaulting women, bashing gays etc. Just listen to a mainstream rapper like Eminem and there is plenty to get offended about, if they cared too.

A tame lyric for example:

“But I may fight for gay rights, especially if that dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice/Play nice? Bitch I’ll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance/’Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens.”

txsoftwaredev··on Spotify continues to remove Joe Rogan episodes
Just being on the show was some amazing free advertisement for your book/show etc. for the guests. I really don't see why they would ask for money.
txsoftwaredev··on Spotify continues to remove Joe Rogan episodes
I was a big consumer of JRE on youtube. I enjoyed the content and the comments. I haven't watched a single episode on Spotify and I have a paid family plan.
txsoftwaredev··on Why Hasn't the Mainstream Media Pilloried 60 Mins for Spreading Misinformation?
That's how all the MSM makes money. Why would they call it out?
txsoftwaredev··on Why did Alibaba's Jack Ma disappear for three months?
Considering in England you can be fined/jailed for speech they are far from having free speech protection.

How does it compare to Japanese A5 Wagyu?

You can't be racist towards white people. It would only be racist if the said angry black men.
