bbimbop··on Zuckerberg: I just shared the following note with our employees
Zuckerberg wasting our time as usual. Hope he can shut the eff up. Obviously he is one of the main weaknesses in our democracy. I hope he gets eaten.

bbimbop··on Ask HN: Are we overreacting to coronavirus?
You will likely regret saying this in about 5 days. It's already way too much. Call anyone in NYC if they know of a first hand case. NYC is tracking toward Italy more so than parts of China.
bbimbop··on Ask HN: Are we overreacting to coronavirus?
You are so dumb that reading this hurts. Apparently you think this is a hoax. People like you that don't take this seriously right now will reel in the pure crisis and deaths that ensues. It's obviously worse than 1918 flu. The spread in the US is already very serious. Call anyone in NYC and ask.

Please everyone don't listen to this utter fool. My jaw is on the floor because this guy's math is so basically flawed. Google Italy and have a nice day.

bbimbop··on Ask HN: How should I invest $200K in this market?
Ye of no faith. Buffet has planned succession for practically his whole life. He has many capable managers. One recently bought a position in Kroger (KR). Go take a look at it.

I'm not even good at coding and this all looks like a mess to me. I wouldn't be surprised if all of this resulted in catastrophic loss.

@pierpont_morgan looks a lot like a Russian troll account, too
bbimbop··on Nancy Pelosi's Husband Purchases Large Blocks of Options on Amazon, Facebook
Fake news. For what reason shouldn't he invest? Is there a conflicting proceeding the US? In that case then he'd close the position or the disclosure would be blocked. Isn't this the point of disclosure? Also, not sure why everyone is so excited over options (the right - not the obligation - to buy the underlying stock), which again has been properly disclosed. This is gaslight hypocrisy.

bbimbop··on How Zilliqa built a billion-dollar blockchain startup in Singapore
A billion dollars is still an extremely large amount of money. The market cap is the "market price" of the coin times the number of coins. That's why they all appear so large. The price is inflated because a very small group of people owns a majority. You're only seeing a very small part of it floating. In reality, there's almost no real money at all. As you put your money in their's will come out. Good luck!

bbimbop··on Supply and Demand Does a Poor Job of Explaining Depressed Wages
Of course. The fact that wages are suppressed is known and expected. The author fails to mention the theory of sticky wages. Why? The author is making a political statement about wage policy. In doing so lets you assume that wages should be related to supply and demand, but they are not. Wage levels are sticky and lag behind changes in the supply and demand for labor. Good news is that you can expect wages to increase in the relatively short-run, from which it seems the author (and most everyone) would benefit.

bbimbop··on Ask HN: How do you find freelance work?
Agree with taprun. It is easier to communicate when you are specific. What do you build or like to build? Lots of people would like to work with an engineer like you on projects, myself being one.

bbimbop··on Ask HN: Your thoughts on returning to college to “refresh” a career?
Before taking on debt you should truthfully ask yourself if you did everything in your power to advance. Did you even apply to any jobs you want? Or, did you assume you were not worthy and give up. You identify your own shortfalls (such as your geographic location), but demonstrate no action to change the circumstance. In addition, even Harvard degrees guarantee nothing. There are so many people with the top degrees who are "unsuccessful". If I am not mistaken at least one top employee at Steam started his career at Waffle House. What a genius. https://www.polygon.com/2013/2/1/3941274/gabe-newell-steam-b...

All this said, education is the best investment you can make. Why not just work your hard to get a better job and then take night classes toward a masters? Find some medium size company who might even pay for it and work toward your dream.

Best of luck to you!
