This isn't a PR exercise. Context is needed

Thank you for explaining the context so well. But I disagree with your first claim. I'm saying it is totally a PR exercise.

I moved my goalposts?

symbolic gestures constitute a large part of the fabric of society.

In fact, we all know that saying Thank you may provide real value to both sides, because we mean it

But meaningless gestures, such as a billionaire at a wealthy and healthy company taking a paycut, harm and devalue our social fabric

I’m curious what your reaction would be if he got a 40% pay increase.

It would be equally performative. This is morality theater. I'd only question his judgment about public relations.

I do understand the reasoning for this adjustment of his salary. I'm simply saying I wish it was not necessary. It's sad.

I wish we could all be mature enough that such pointless symbolic gestures were not necessary. This causes no hardship for Tim and makes no non-negligible impact on Apple's financials or employee wellbeing

Helium's so scarce. You're attempting to reduce ultra high vacuum to even less. Not practical

Remove your focus from making money. Direct yourself at getting better at skills in a generalized way. Indirectly I've learned a lot from my supplementary projects, which supplements my core skillset. My result serendipitously is profit although that's not my target

There's a HN auto filter that removes unnecessary words from titles

That could be the cause

I certainly don't mean to nitpick[0], but this one is a total dumpster fire because it is lacking a clear 'HN is turning into Reddit!' comment[1]

That video looks extremely manufactured. There are so many edits and so many different camera angles.

Maybe it can happen, but is it possible that this video is mostly faked?

You say you can't understand, but the chart you yourself posted (to illustrate price volatilility) also shows a 12,000% increase in price in less than 8 years, up to today.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, but maybe that, the improbable 12000%, is the thinking that you're trying to understand?

There is honestly no price I could buy it at where I would be willing to hold.

Really no price? Even given the opportunity to buy at $10, you still wouldn't hold?

The nice thing is, that the more it continues, the bigger the fall will be.

It's nicer than the alternative (to explode even later)

These two outcomes are mutually exclusive. You're speaking nonsense.

The nice thing is, that the more it continues, the bigger the fall will be.

Why is that "nice"?

And now your question has been flag killed.

Take that as a sign that the majority of this community do not want any more open discussion about this issue, and the site's administrators accept this consensus

it’s overloaded with mid to low value commentsi

Because these types of comments take little effort to post, and to read

People who could post an interesting technical comment about zero knowledge proofs or monetary theory will be discouraged, if the responses are low effort rants like "Crypto is a scam" or "Bitcoin will destroy fiat"

So intelligent and informed people don't bother to join these discussions on HN any more

Sorry, I didn't read your comment carefully. I also wonder if there's enough information there to identify the players

Edit: the comment above is apparently about a different, unidentified, player, not Nieman

... Chess.com appears to violate their promise of confidentiality...

I think they believe that Nieman bringing his alleged cheating at Chess.com into the public arena, and saying things about it that Chess.com believe are not true, broke the agreeement between them, and gave Chess.com the right to respond

Unanticipated race condition perhaps? A process takes 2 minutes instead of 5 seconds, and then a later part of the startup fails because it has no way to handle the totally unexpected lack of data

Sorry, I don't know. (although the name NPR does provide a very strong suggestion about that, I guess)

Why do you assume they'll do this? It seems unlikely, considering NPR has a relatively small audience in Europe. Although it is an interesting idea for an article

It sounds like focusing so hard on the rating might be bad for his quality of life, by preventing him playing 'fun' tournaments.

Edit : He can try to game the ratings system by looking for high-rated opponents who he knows will not play as well as their ratings suggest for some reason (like illness or personal issues). But he doesn't seem the sort to enjoy this

A good question.

Freezing is not the same as seizing, and it's not even clear in which countries all those alleged Tether dollars are or in what form they are held

If it's true that Tether is based on fractional reserves, then having the US freezing their customers' assets seems helpful for Tether, as they will have more free assets to use

The comments here showering Starlink with praise, acting like they're doing this to be a Bro, are bizarre.

Can you link to the comments that said that?

I can just see one comment saying Starlink is better than its competitors, which might fit that description. All the other comments seem like neutral personal reports of the price reduction in various places, or comments questioning the reasons for this, or even complaining about it

UK inflation to top% in early 2023, Citi warns

to top 18%

You need to edit your title, perhaps HN autostripped that?

People downvote anything these days.

Maybe because you said something crudely insensitive in a community that might know the victims, and definitely includes people who do similar jobs?

I hope none of your friends or family ever get char broiled.

This is interesting, but does portray Thiel as a "cartoon villain", twirling his mustache and laughing at the mass idiots. I'm doubtful he, even in his private thoughts, would call himself a Fascist.

Nobody believes they're the antagonist.

Always be trying to develop multiple simultaneous income streams, so you can be confident you will not be too badly affected if one customer or project lets you down

What if the satellites had extra antennas pointed outwards

Pointed outwards towards what?

And I don't understand how that solves atmosphere interference issues. Still gotta go through the atmosphere at least twice for ground to ground

In actual fact, I believe the long term Starlink plan does include satellites in higher orbits, but I don't know their role

Lowest long distance latency is potentially a big competitive advantage for Starlink, so they'll probably try to get the shortest ground to ground path for some high priority customer data, and higher orbits on the signal path will detract from that goal
