FearTheTrees··on Ulstein X-BOW inverted bow
AXE bow is competing hard with Ulstein's X-Bow design. There are some interesting journal published papers on both, and IMHO Axe bow seems to perform better in most conditions.

FearTheTrees··on Coinbase is rescinding already-accepted job offers
In addition to bad management, the contrast of the CEO buying a $133 million compound in Bel Air while throwing employees out on the street is just too stark.

FearTheTrees··on How This Ends
Serious question: Instead of riding the ETFs down, what if I sell investments now and move to cash/gold? Cash would lose value at the rate of inflation, while ETFs can drop 30-40% more if the FED makes mistakes.
FearTheTrees··on California’s economy may seem healthy. Just wait for the next recession
We can reframe this article's hypothetical doomsday premise to any state: "Iowa, the undisputed king of corn, will face a recession if there is a multi-year drought."
FearTheTrees··on Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
Zach, this telemetry approach is fine for Google Docs retail users but Warp's target customers are some of the tech savviest people on the planet. They are going to hold Warp to much higher standards of security and privacy.

FearTheTrees··on US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
I think I speak on behalf of most computer people when I say this: we prefer our extra hour of sunshine in the evenings not mornings.
FearTheTrees··on Ask HN: How did you overcome perfectionism?
My hypothesis is that perfectionism results from spare, UNUSED BRAINPOWER. It is an indication that current challenge is not big enough to occupy your brain, so you keep going back and grooming the little things over and over again.

Take on bigger risks and set bigger goals for yourself. When your pants are on fire, your brain will not care about whether your shoelaces are tied or untied.

FAANG stability and cushy salary does this to a lot of other people I know.

FearTheTrees··on Ask HN: Why do my online accounts keep getting banned?
Agree that Fidelity is the most serious but they cannot help OP anymore. OP's situation sounds like his/her SSN and CC is circulating on the dark web forums.

OP, you should buy an Equifax or Experian credit package immediately, review every account, and put a freeze on your credit report. This will be the best twenty bucks spent in your situation.
