lexapro··on Coinbase warns that bankruptcy could wipe out user funds
So far it worked out pretty well
lexapro··on Coinbase warns that bankruptcy could wipe out user funds
And to stocks, real estate, gold, ...
lexapro··on The 2022 Pulitzer Prize Winner in Explanatory Reporting
One would think that such buildings would be built even without rich donors.
lexapro··on UST Stablecoin Loses Dollar Peg
There will always be demand for money, especially if a dollar can be bought for cents. And the demand for food and housing also doesn't stay the same.
lexapro··on Day trader army loses all the money it made in meme-stock era
200% of their portfolio or a small amount they gamble with?
lexapro··on Ask HN: What is the most compelling reason young people should learn to program?
The evidence for flossing is pretty weak. I think it's mostly an American thing, kinda like circumcision (when compared to Europe). I never flossed even once in my life and don't know anyone who did. (I'm not suggesting that's a reason not to do it!)
lexapro··on The tragic case of the wrong Thomas James is finally righted
Exactly. There is a huge difference between

>He wasn't interested in talking, either. He wanted to enjoy his retirement.

and

>He wasn't interested in talking, either but feels sorry for what happened.

lexapro··on The tragic case of the wrong Thomas James is finally righted
So because of the internet people are no longer able to issue a short apology? How convenient.
lexapro··on Insider Trading at Coinbase
Limited available capital? You can only borrow so much money. Also, you can't know for certain how much the stock will move after the information becomes public.
lexapro··on Insider Trading at Coinbase
Who would invest in a company if senior management is allowed to steal from investors? You might as well legalize stealing. Markets need trust.
lexapro··on Insider Trading at Coinbase
Anyone that loses money they wouldn't have lost otherwise is hurt by insider trading. And if you make it legal, people will try anything to gain insider information.
lexapro··on How Does This End?
That's not exactly "cheering on nuclear escalation" though. I'm against further escalation, but I'm also against the notion that even the slightest western intervention is immoral because it might anger Mr. Putin into starting a nuclear war.
lexapro··on Top Performers Have a Superpower: Happiness
>The unhappy person is still unhappy that they have not yet found what they are looking for.

>That is the decision

What is the decision exactly? If unhappy people could just choose to be happy instead, they would.

lexapro··on I advised a student to not publish evidence of reverse racism
Discriminating against a race for generations and then ignoring race in policies is NOT equal opportunity. Both the rules and the starting conditions have to be equal if the goal is equal opportunity.
lexapro··on Ask HN: What do you think of the Wordle guy not monetizing it?
A lot of (most?) already super rich people monetize everything they can to the max. So I don't believe it's out of a desire to simply quit working. I think it's more about making money for the sake of making money, also known as greed.
lexapro··on I think I know why you can't hire engineers right now
>The median dev salary is $110k

...in the country with the world's highest dev salaries.

lexapro··on It is difficult for the average person to conceive of how useless NFTs are
In a police state maybe, but I wasn't talking about that. And even in a police state you need acceptance of the people.
lexapro··on Blame Cronyism, Not Capitalism
>If they invest it in a company, that investment creates jobs and pays wages

Someone gives up most of their life to make the investor even richer. In exchange they get barely enough to eat and put a roof over their head (in some cases not even that). What a fair deal, praise the investor!

lexapro··on Blame Cronyism, Not Capitalism
It's an impossible feat if the competition has a 10 generations head start and is not playing by any rules.
lexapro··on Blame Cronyism, Not Capitalism
It's good for some, bad for a lot.
lexapro··on You Feel Like Shit
Why is it bad information? What is wrong about "water is ideal"?

No one feels like shit just because they drink soda from time to time, and obviously soda is better than not drinking anything.

Yeah 100% water is best, it's what I do as well, but come on have some empathy.

lexapro··on It is difficult for the average person to conceive of how useless NFTs are
Governments only have that power precisely because there is a social contract. Read the definition.

>The crash will be biblical, obviously.

You don't know that and you especially don't know when. So please don't use words like "obviously" for things that aren't obvious at all.

lexapro··on You Feel Like Shit
You seem to completely lack empathy.
lexapro··on Experimental depression treatment is nearly 80% effective in controlled study
That's just one of many symptoms you're describing here (loss of interest). For me the main symptom is depressed mood, which essentially feels like someone you cared about a lot died recently.
lexapro··on Experimental depression treatment is nearly 80% effective in controlled study
There are non-depressed people who also struggle with this, I think.
lexapro··on It’s cheaper to stop emitting now than to pull carbon from the air later
How is that "figuring out the climate problem"? You're just stating the problem.
lexapro··on Ask HN: How to find a job in 2021 if I dislike remote?
A lot of people don't have enough friends outside of employment.
lexapro··on [dead]
I never understood the point of interview questions like this. Like, really? You're going to ask another adult to fill a screen with black and expect them to turn it off? Why??
lexapro··on Uncomfortable Truths in Software Engineering
>I always say yea I'm on board we should cut medicare and social security

You're evil ;)
