dubswithus··on Web 3 is Flawed
Javascript is cool but no websites really need it. You could build a website without javascript. There's really no reason for it to exist other than to enrich the pockets of consultants. It's not solving any problem on the internet.

You can make this argument for any technology at this point. If people like crypto it will exist. It's the same with a lot of other things I think shouldn't exist like gold.

I thought the point was spreading Nazi propaganda.

I expect them to go after big fish like popular decentralized exchanges and DeFi projects that offer staking.

I pretty much stay in Airbnb's all year long. You don't have to be a billionaire to do it.

When someone has vitamins (or extracts or whatever) I never assume they know what they are doing.

I hope airlines ban carry on. When we land I would like to get off sometime in the next month or so.

Will agree with you on the jeans. Rarely ever wash them to maintain the color. Another advantage is that they still have that factory denim smell. And if I do wash them I use woolite darks and flip them inside out.

I rarely have to dry clean the dress shirts under normal wear conditions. I'm guessing it depends on the GSM of the shirt.

I don't know if I would agree dry leaning defeats the purpose. Most cities have a dry cleaner and dropping it a dry cleaner is going to be faster than washing, drying, and ironing it yourself. At least it is for me. Plus, you would need to find the right kind of detergent without enzymes or whatever while traveling.

Are you saying it fell apart?

There is just no way the SEC can deal with all the new projects coming out every month. It hasn't even gone after most of the ICO's of 2017.

Why do you think it will be smaller? There are more VC funds than ever before pumping more money into the system.

The whole economy is melting down. Crypto will be back in a few years.

Liquidation could crash Solana's price?

If it breaks or the battery dies they send you a new handle for free. I may switch to another brand in the future. Not sure.

> I’m impressed at how many people coalesce to the same suggestions to save space: simple clothes, layers, etc.

Buying toiletries locally can mean paying 2-3x the price in your home country. You actually save money by bringing more. For example, in the US the last time I checked I could buy a pack of floss for $0.99. In LATAM it's at least $3. The solution is to bring ~20 packs of floss.

I love merino wool shirts -- even dress shirts like those by Wool and Prince. But the dress shirts I only dry clean and the t-shirts I have some special things I do to keep them in good shape. I just wear athletic gear most of the time because I'm in a hot climate and sweat through everything immediately. It's just not worth it for me at this point.

I really like having a fancy side-loading washing machine because I can run long cycles and use strong detergents that definitely ensure the shirt doesn't smell the next time I wear it. Ideally Persil but sometimes that isn't available. Top loaders have destroyed clothes many times.

The products he seems to recommend look like knockoffs and incredibly cheap. But often if something breaks while you are abroad you pay 2-3x the price to replace it. And even then the replacement might be of horrible quality too but you're desperate and suck it up.

Except his Anker brick. I love Anker.

I find an electric toothbrush is much better for busting plaque. I have a Goby.

I'm considering adding a second piece of luggage to carry kitchen hardware, electronics, and an air quality sensor. Minimalism is seriously a waste of time.

I also only stay in places with washer/dryer and do laundry every day because of running. I'm not going to hang disgusting sweaty clothes. I still have a lot of shirts, shorts, and extra socks because I like to change during the day as well.

The replacement filters are quite expensive though.

It would be interesting if this person used the loan to buy and then sell other cryptocurrencies so they can buy SOL at a discount after liquidation.

The fuck?
dubswithus··on Ask HN: Do you upvote direct replies?
Often replies are trying to mess with me by taking me down a peg. So no.

One of the biggest problems with HN is the detractors of crypto know nothing about it. They claim it’s a scam therefore that allows them (in their mind) to remain ignorant.

It’s just a database. And you just got “justed.”
dubswithus··on Bitcoin drops below $18,300 as sell-off accelerates
You feel contempt because you got “justed” like all the other high earners here. It’s “just” a decentralized database.

Most startups on AngelList are a waste of space, time, money, and employment. No different with blockchain.

Can you tell me a completely centralized alternative to the Brave/BAT ecosystem?

Block ads, reward creators, and get paid. No big tech company is paying their users or doing machine learning locally so they “can’t be evil.”

dubswithus··on Bitcoin drops below $20k, Ether cracks $1k – what this means
Why would I be nervous? I don’t hold bitcoin and don’t have anything on exchanges. Are you projecting some of your nervous energy?

Gemini doesn’t have withdrawal issues. Misinformation only makes your position look weak.

Crypto exchanges always run into platform issues when volume is high. Everyone claims it’s a giant conspiracy because 10x engineers could never fuck up this bad. Well, they can and do.

Your claim Binance is going under is laughable as well. You have zero understanding of this market.
