gokdisjtrdcvv5··on In search of the least viewed article on Wikipedia
I’m sorry but I cannot follow what you are trying to say. It sounds like you didn’t like what softgrow said but I don’t see anything wrong with it. Mind explaining again?
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Kids are far behind in school
Grades are not very accurate indicators of learned maternal.

4.0s only mean you worked really hard or, in very rare cases, are extremely intelligent. I know a guy who got a 3.2 in calc 3. Doesn’t sound very good right? Well the only reason is because his teacher was test heavy and those tests were quite difficult. My teacher was much more focused on homework so I could work harder to get a good grade. After working with him I realized we almost exactly the same amount. However, if you looked at our grades I would seem significantly “smarter” than him.

gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Ask HN: Who Are Anonymous?
Your last sentence is very confusing. Mind repeating it and explain what some of those words mean (eg “moralfags”)?
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Russia’s way of conducting urban warfare bodes ill for Kyiv
Russia doesn’t seem to have it yet though. Ukraine keeps blowing up a lot of their planes and helicopters for the moment.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on YouTube CEO Defends Hiding Dislike Count, Says It Reduced Harassment
Video game tutorials and programming tutorials come to mind. Some programming ones I watched had some really big security flaws and I only noticed when I saw the dislikes that something was wrong! Video game tutorials also are usually very poor quality and checking the dislike before watching is a good way to see if it’s a waste of time or not.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on YouTube CEO Defends Hiding Dislike Count, Says It Reduced Harassment
Easy solution for small creator harassment: Disable likes if under 50k subscribers! Obviously not perfect but much better than the current system.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Entropy isn't sufficient to measure password strength
I would say having it written is more secure. If you hide it in a good spot no robber is going to find it and even if they do you will almost certainly know you’ve been robbed so you can change the passwords. Not only that but I bet 99% of robbers wouldn’t have an effective plan to sell or use the passwords. Digital on the other hand has a significant chance to go undetected for a while and certainly know exactly what to do with them.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe
Obviously it depends on the use case but for most things it is. Not only is it random but 1.5 dollars is a lot! I think PayPal is like .3 + 2.3 percent? Basically anything under $5 would be almost impossible to sell. Not only that but having a chance for the fees to go incredibly high ($15) it’s just not worth it.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Bitcoin mining is being banned in countries across the globe
I’m confused. How would adding more stuff change the picture that dramatically? No matter how you slice it Bitcoin has extremely prohibitive transaction costs
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Keyboard lets people type so fast it’s banned from typing competitions
I type for fun and 76% is awful. If I dip below 85% I instantly stop. 76% means I have super cold fingers while having butter slathered all over the keyboard!
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on ThriftBooks’s use of supply chain automation (2020)
I really love thrift books! So cheap compared to buying new and usually they look nearly unused! When I ordered a book and it arrived damaged (Missing the first 20 pages!) they gave a refund right away.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Intellectual Loneliness
I’ve done the same but with TV! My all time favorite TV show is “The 100”. It’s incredibly dumb and has so many plot holes it’s honestly amazing. However it never gets boring! Really would recommend it if you like that kind of stuff.
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Cryptocurrency scams cost owners $7.7B in 2021, driven by DeFi-based “rug pulls”
I didn’t think of that but you are totally right! I’d say greed has much more to do with it than IQ
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on CFTC Orders JPMorgan to Pay Record $920M for Spoofing and Manipulation (2020)
I don’t think that’s what they said
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Hackers are spamming businesses’ receipt printers with ‘antiwork’ manifestos
> I haven’t eaten at a restaurant, and COVID closed many, is it really essential?

Did you really just say that we should shut down all restaurants? I’m assuming not so it would be nice if you could explain more.

gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Ask HN: Do You Like Stocks Crypto or Precious Metals for 2022?
Yeah it feels good! Having a satchel of gold would be fun but it’s just so expensive!
gokdisjtrdcvv5··on Ask HN: Do You Like Stocks Crypto or Precious Metals for 2022?
Yeah but it’s more fun to actually hold silver or gold! Not very good investment but I’d recommend most people to get $200 worth just for fun!
