I enjoy carrying a paper diary and using it along with a fountain pen to take notes and remembrances. Looking back through them is much more valuable than looking back through any sort of digital calendar or journal, while being much less expensive and prone to disintegration.

Gardening and the simple joy of starting seedlings and watching them grow into fruitful plants is another life-improver enhanced by the most minimal of tech (although choosing seeds online and their low cost delivery to my home is probably mediated by some considerable tech nowadays).

This is a longstanding problem in audio engineering, along the lines of "how does one un-bake a cake to get the eggs?" There's always going to be artefacts and distortion ranging from unpleasant to extreme, hence audio engineers when mixing from stems/channels will do a stereo instrumental mix and a mix with vocals.

I thought this straight away. It made me think that the brain's structure has evolved in resonance with the fundamental dimensionality of the universe.

Holy moly I'd forgotten about that. Endless hours of clicking in the school library.

"my wife and I think it's totally fine that I lost ten billion dollars" - said nobody's wife ever.

I don't even a stake in bitcoin but this guy makes me angry every time he comes up. Such an obvious fraudster, shamelessly taking credit for someone else's work and invention.

If I had to bet, I'd put my money on the real Satoshi being a state actor or group of programmers working in some baroque part of the banking industry. Hell, after reading cryptonomicon I'd even put my money on it being Neal Stephenson before I'd believe it was Craig Wright.

Why - because he's got nothing better to do than post on HN all day?

I had the banhammer wielded on me for a similar reason, and now understand HN is an irony free zone moderated by snowflakes. I expected so much better after being here for years.

Why did the community upvote it then? Haven't you heard of irony?

Thanks for the information. Next time I want someone to split with my kit, I'll definitely check out your service. One thing - how do you keep a straight face when using bone-headed marketese like "voluntary parting" when writing your T&C's and communicating with the customers who fall for it?

Until "hi how you doing, I saw you decided not to fund my father's healthcare" or "wow, $30, he makes 200k a year! What an asshole!"

Another 50 million dollars of the world's hard-earned time and effort well spent by the VCs there.

There's a traditional idiom where I come from:

"The fool and his camera equipment are easily parted."

Yeah that's what I figured. Once the people behind kitsplit, or even just a staff member realises how easy this is to casually walk away with thousands upon thousands of dollars of camera equipment, per day...

(Ps it's 'cahoots')

It's not just a marketplace, it's developing into a whole platform for tech-mediated voluntary parting, connecting the haves with the have-nots and making the world better for everyone. The founders have already raised the first rounds of VC and are looking forward to vesting so they can take this revolutionary concept forward into new markets and territories.

And a great reason for why you wouldn't want to.

It's got what geeks crave.

Does it come with electrolytes?

You can't use that logic, because the two aren't even equivalent.

The cheap stuff!?! You can't be that British. Yorkshire Tea is the only way to go.

I can't imagine one of those giant banks having this kind of outage.

I can't wait until my bank has to pay teams of people to keep child porn and beheadings off its website!

"Facebook is enforcing a strict separation between users’ social data—their Facebook likes, photos, etc—and the financial data that will be available on Libra’s network. There will not, he insisted, be a readily available data trove connecting users’ transactional data to their Facebook profiles"

I find this extremely hard to believe coming from a company who's entire M.O. is building a profile of its users and tracking everything they do across the internet and beyond.

Is there anyone on HN with 6 fingers? How's your typing? Seems like it could only be a benefit on a keyboard.

Spoiler alert: compared to the other seasons, these ones are pretty crap and unengaging.

$999 just for the stand for the new display! Audible laughs all round.

You should launch in Wales: Plaid Cymru!

I'm sure this has been posted here multiple times.

Maybe his kids are doing well because he has a lot of time to be a great dad and coach them?

Life happens. Shit happens. Kids happen. Enjoy the ride and don't terrify yourself about money or what your life should look like. We all get 24 hours a day on the planet and from a long term perspective, almost nothing of what we do really matters. Maybe by moving boxes instead of schlepping in a lab for some deranged sociopath like Elizabeth Holmes, the guy gets to spend a couple more priceless hours with his kids? The same kids that are going to be so far ahead because of his great mind that they will take care of him once they're adults and he has his time back once full-time parenting is over..

tldr: you sound very young so ponder this tip from a very wise zen teacher I had once "your life doesn't have to look like anything."

And remember kids, even if you win the ratrace, you're still a rat.
