dezbon Ask HN: 15 years later, does anyone use Bitcoin?

nobody "uses it", the whole thing is a ponzi scheme scam and despite looking for years, I have yet to find a single instance of a bona fide retailer or market / market place that accepts bitcoin other than scammers, spam list sellers, and forums selling breached data dumps..

dezbon Ask HN: Why did Bill Gates stop tweeting?

twitter is a tiny tiny tiny "potential audience" and is predominantly a very small "niche" audience of American's that the Gates charity is likely loathed by and thus twitter as a tiny app / website offers little to no value to an organisation like the Gates Foundation who can get million fold more value from normal media comms / marcoms and better bang for their buck than the loathing hater filled tiny little dying twitter app / website.. twitter is all but dead anyway..

dezbon Ask HN: How to deal with a client who refuses to pay an invoice in full

notify them that if they don't pay you in full, that in 24 hours you will be forced to use Dunn & Brad Street to do debt collection..

the risk of being pursued by one of the biggest debt collection companies in the world that also results in a bad credit risk will scare the shit out of them and they will pay immediately..

if you can afford it, I'd just issue the invoice for collection with Dunn & Brad Street just for good riddance as I hate companies who screw people over payment..

lists ALL the company directors as named entities along with the company as "creditors"..

dezbon Tell HN: My son is being bullied for owning an Android phone

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 and it's a great phone.. time to find your son a better school or group of friends.. better yet, teach him to leave the phone at home when he's out and about and "see the world" without having to "see it through a phone screen".. let your son know this phone at most will be a device of convenience for a couple of years.. it does not define him..
