You are able to be anonymous on HN by creating a new account which is not tied to your regular account history.

If you had millions of dollars in crypto you would too. It's not nearly the same as having it in a bank or mutual funds which cannot easily be taken from you in a flash.

People can simply hack your laptop or bludgeon you with a hammer until you give them up instantly.

Which search engine do you use? I don't think it's possible to search for "Cudalasa" and not immediately be corrected to "Culadasa", seamlessly and with zero ambiguity.

In which case, why are you even pointing this out? The commenter spelled a name wrong and anyone with a single ounce of intelligence can understand from context what was meant.

Article says:

  ..that price would include everything from airfare to the organization's only facility..

Their own pricing disclaimer says otherwise:

  Lodging and travel expenses are not included in the price of the procedures.

There seems to be a huge host of pricing disclaimers for every procedure, such as pre-screening and MRIs not included, etc. thus making the article's claim that "the all-inclusive price for every operation is listed on the website" to be false.

I think there is certainly a massive amount of uneducated speculation going on in the crypto currency world, but saying things like "no one cares about decentralization" shows a foolish lack of knowledge about the whole space.

A lot of very smart people care passionately about decentralization and the technology is going to change a lot of things. It seems like from your post history you're going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the future.

In order for survivor bias to apply here we need other worlds which were destroyed to compare ours to.

Symmetry is explicitly mentioned in the original article and the study you're commenting on.

I guess I've just never considered a college degree a prerequisite for professional respect.

Even if you do think that way, and you consider her as completely an entertainer with robotics as her medium, is she a robotics hobbyist?

Are all professional rock musicians just guitar enthusiasts?

My suspicion is that she is called so simply because of her gender, and that a male "entertainer", college drop out or not, would be called an engineer.

"nerd dream-girl" whatever you mean by that has little to do with it. She's a woman on the Internet so she is sexually harassed. She's a woman in the world so she is sexually harassed on the street.

And even though the parent comment attempted to steer the discussion away from sexualizing her by directly quoting her desire to do so, you brought it back with a pointless comment about some ill-defined nerd-girl fantasy.

There is no mention of how the suicide rate of doctors compares to the general population.

Also, bullet points like "Family members of doctors who have killed themselves are also at high risk of suicide", "Suicidal doctors are rarely homicidal" and "We lose way more men than women" apply to all suicides, so it doesn't really help the case without statistics.

She studied engineering, programming, and robotics, she makes a living making robots full time, and yet the article title calls her a "robotics hobbyist" and the article says she's a "robot enthusiast".

Yeah I think it's one of the worst reactions you could have.

Without any indication of how bad the attack actually is, you should really assume the best and set yourself up to be able to survive.

What if it's a conventional bombing, or you're not directly in the blast zone? Or if the nuke fails to detonate?

The immediate aftermath if the most important time. While he's futzing around with Youtube and getting drunk the more intelligent people are coming up with a plan to live.

Whether it's getting the fuck out of there or stockpiling water or climbing into a storm drain, almost anything is better than sending emails and jamming away to cliche songs.

Nearly all governments fund art currently and in the past and scarcity has never been a defining attribute of art. Also, not all artists in ancient Egypt were sponsored and not all art was for everyone, e.g. slaves.

No, it's a list of redirect URLs and a quote from the final page.

Never did I say I'd be making $300k per year. $100k a year to do three 5 hour interviews a week for $300k jobs? I would do that in a heartbeat.

Google tells me you're misquoting Hucci lyrics.

The interview process would certainly change as a result, so who knows if one could interview full time sustainably.

But I don't think it's a special case. Good software developers are by nature great at hacking systems and plenty of them would find it more profitable to keep interviewing rather than work a regular job.

If it does need a regulatory nudge, paying people to interview is the most naive way to do this.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, but I'm a decent developer, not a $300k salary developer.

> Personally, I'm concerned

Your "personal" concern is an extremely common opinion in a major debate that has been going on for years. There is even a documentary to support it.

Well then I would be a professional job candidate. I could easily fill my time with $300k+ job interviews that I can pass a phone screen for but am not fully qualified for.

These all seem like highly subjective criteria, which is the whole problem with the way hiring works in first place.

How exactly does that work?

To me, the statement says essentially "you can trust us more than Ripple" with no explanation as to why.

I think you could use this quote to justify both sides of the debate.

Unlike Google, which generates money from ads, Apple is a hardware company, so data security is both economically viable and integral to their brand.

I own some amount of Siacoin, but what I don't fully understand is how the value of Sia is supposed to work with the platform itself.

As the value of the currency increases, doesn't that make actually using the service prohibitively expensive?

Also, the Sia wallet has been completely inoperable for about a week, which is what has caused its latest price inflation. It went from .02 to .10 so I figured I'd get rid of it, but I can not send it from my personal Sia wallet to an exchange.

What part of this is interesting to you?

This paragraph does not explain how they are different from Ripple's approach only that they are in fact different.

Smart contract is a misnomer. Neither the author nor those she is criticizing understand what a smart contract is.

Yes, whatever the Bilderberg lizard people truly in power decide upon. It's all in plain sight if people would just stop drinking the tap water and wake up.

> Scientists can't be everywhere to capture amazing behavior, but YouTube can

You're aware it's not YouTube doing the video capturing right?

It doesn't seem to me at all like we're only looking for signs of intelligence in apes. We're looking for it in everything. The article even references advocates for the legal personhood of great apes, dolphins, elephants, and whales.

You give Youtube way too much credit. Science has done more to help understand animals than all of historical philosophy. Youtube has done more to spread that understanding to laypeople.

The title is intentionally misleading.

Alfred Anaya was a willingly complicit part of a drug trafficking operation in return for large financial gain, so he was put in prison.

This is also from 2013.

I don't follow this at all, what are you saying?

First off, there are two pictures in the article, so the idea that "looks matter" as pertains to selfishness, whatever that means, is in question.

Secondly, the idea that "looks matter" doesn't make sense. She seems rather regular looking, not picked out specifically because of her looks.

Lastly, spending money on your children to me is far less selfish than paying off your personal debt, which did not get a photo.
