After the way Google treated Stadia, I can't trust any Google product enough to fully rely on it.

Yup, this happened to me. I didn't sign up for Zelle. Didn't know I even had it. I lost $3,000 and BofA refused to reverse or refund any of the charges. Total BS.

I got scammed by a Zelle transfer when someone used my phone (without my authorization). I didn't even know I had Zelle but it's built into the BofA app. I lost $3,000. BofA refused to refund any of the transfer or reverse it. Total trash feature. I didn't sign up for it. I don't want it. BofA signed me up for it. I'm changing banks because of it.

The trading fees for crypto exchanges are also insane, which enriches the exchange operators.

Oh yeah, definitely not a universal opinion. Just my 100% subjective viewpoint.

This is awesome. Reminds me of when Medvedev did a FIFA celebration after winning the 2021 US Open: https://www.cbssports.com/tennis/news/us-open-2021-daniil-me...

I don't know that Twitter actually needs to be fixed. It's very good for what it is - a microblogging platform that provides instant, timely updates on news and current topics.

I think Twitter could, however, capitalize on its platform and offer additional, successful features. Twitter could offer Patreon and Substack-esque features where users could subscribe to additional, richer, and more in-depth content from content creators. Twitter could also re-explore a live broadcast feature with associated live chat (similar to YouTube and Facebook live broadcasts). Twitter is a huge platform and has plenty of opportunity, but I don't think it suffers from inherent problems like Facebook (which has an aging userbase, users abandoning the platform, and a big spam problem).

I've muted all phone calls for anyone not on my contact list because of robocalls. It's absurd that this is a problem in 2022.

Okay, but colleges that teach about the rest of life (language, cultures, arts, etc.) charge money and will kick out students that don't pay money.

How are unions structured in Europe?

You need consent for Spotify to generate a customized playlist based on your listening habits? That's a little precious. Most people, including myself, enjoy this feature.

The increase since 2020 is still mind boggling. It was below $2.20 in 2020.

And the music!!! Vangelis' (RIP) soundtrack is incredible.

The MSNBC website back in the 90s was actually pretty great. It had a menu system that would update with live headlines. It was really impressive (to me, at least) back then.

I think MSNBC began as a joint effort between Microsoft and GE, but Microsoft sold its stake a long time ago at this point. It's bizarre that MSNBC has kept the name, but I guess it has branding value at this point.

Never used Briefcase. I just remember being confused by it as a kid. I did, however, use Iomega Zip Drives to move large (at the time) files.

It stayed with me as well. I loved reading Shakespeare in school. I think reading Shakespeare can instill a love of language in a young kid.

This is amazing. Do you remember the con man’s name?

I loved Curse of Monkey Island. One of my favorite games as a kid. The animation was beautiful, had great humor, etc. Just an awesome game.

I second the motion that Thimbleweed Park is a great game. Super fun and great sense of humor. Cool atmosphere too.

What are the 2 things?

they haven't actually been charged with hacking, just the laundering. the complaint could be amended after investigation and the potential sentence would go up.

the husband is Russian-American

check out the affidavit accompanying the criminal complaint: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1470186/downl...

yes, they're legally presumed innocent but they have a LOT of 'splaining to do.

I noticed both on twitter and his HN posts, there's a big gap between 2015 and 2019.

I don't think Consumer Reports recommends moving companies.

Ross Ulbricht would like a word

Where do you think the budget comes from?

What are the scam auditing companies?

It's not extreme. Being a politician should not be financially rewarding, period.

It's ridiculously easy to vote and with early voting being extended for WEEKS and mail-in voting also an option, there is no excuse other than apathy, ignorance, or laziness. If you can submit a tax return, you can vote.
