emc3··on Tax details of US super-rich allegedly leaked
That question was asked in a thread on the same topic earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27434929

Not when someone can banish it from the front page[1]. See this comment timestamp[2] and compare it with the sudden drop in ranking on the upvote tracker chart.

emc3··on A walk in nature is better than microdosing
> highly recommend you try something like shrooms in the safe environment

Just listened to Seth Rogen's audible book (hilarious, and decent anecdata on shrooms particularly) and he would say shrooms are a lot more intense than LSD. Shrooms take control while on LSD you're "the pilot."

Seriously, not that you can source directly from there, but give it 20min and you'll figure it out. Hint: BTC & DMs

emc3··on Australian Federal Police and FBI nab underworld figures using encrypted app
Depends where they are prosecuted. In the US, we'll use the EU's copy of the data, vice versa (wish this was \s)
emc3··on A Project of One’s Own
Ugh, PG discounted his earlier works, again.

I can't relate to "workers" (employees) and I haven't been out of the workforce for nearly as long as PG.

Dalio emphasizes the importance of being believable, and I don't believe that PG understands the concept of work/life balance(or "work-life" or whatever).

What makes the "grey" opinion "more valid"?

Shady fly by night data hosting doing counter-intel, or better, Putin spending his precious rubles on running counter-intel ops for shady fly by night hosting companies, are both hilarious.

And... you're a piece of shit, thanks for sharing!
emc3··on Defending Speech We Hate
> Twitter blocking Trump isn't functionally different than the NYT or WaPo publishing the pentagon papers. It is a private organization exercising their right to push back against government propaganda. It is first amendment protected, and it should unequivocally be defended by those who believe in civil liberties.

This argument needs to be made more often. Thanks!

emc3··on Why workers are calling BS on leaders about returning to the office
In-office work needs to be compensated differently than WFH. They will try to decrease WFH compensation initially, like the loss of benefits threat in the article, but the number of potential employers is higher for WFH workers, giving them leverage.
emc3··on Mysterious radio burst from space is unusually close–and especially baffling
> located 11.7 million light-years from Earth

I might consider 11.7 light-years "unusual" or "baffling." But times that by a million and it becomes a lot less so.

emc3··on Why the ransomware crisis suddenly feels so relentless
End Bitcoin.
emc3··on Apple asks staff to return to office 3 days a week starting in early September
I would expect more of that competitive advantage, too! Most people don't want to give up Working from home[1] and/or are only interested in "working" to collect a paycheck[2]. If the future because of in-office work mostly consists of ambitious people like yourself, opposed to the latter, then I'm actually more interested in joining. Thanks for the perspective.

Today NASA also announced new missions to Venus, discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27374233
emc3··on NASA announces two new missions to Venus
> determine whether Venus had oceans

And I didn't realize NASA hasn't been there in >30 years either.

Looks good. Reminds me of Prezi.

emc3··on The M.T.A. Is Breached by Hackers as Cyberattacks Surge
> it's foolish to expect people to not do bad things just because the law says they shouldn't

The parent comment:

> Minimum safety standards: laws and ability to enforce them.

So it's not just the law but also the potential for repercussions, of which there are currently zero.
