muggermuch··on Ask HN: You have $100/mo to invest in cryptocurrency, BTC, BTC Cash or Ether?
Upvote. I have done this on Coinbase. I have recurring daily transactions created for Bitcoin and Ethereum, putting in $5 each. Coinbase charges me $0.15 in fees (3%) for each transaction. I realize that the fees have increased since I set this up, but I guess I'm grandfathered in.

FWIW, I've been lately thinking of adding an extra $2.50 each per day for Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash.

As another poster has pointed out, dollar-cost averaging is your friend.

muggermuch··on United Airlines takes seat away from child, forces him to sit on moms lap
I haven't flown United since the David Dao incident. Anecdotally, most international airlines are orders of magnitude better in terms of quality of service, cleanliness, flight crew friendliness, and so on. As a person of color, the latter attributes are quite important for me, since I'd rather not get singled out for wilful mistreatment on a transatlantic flight.

Delta has been good to me so far over the years.

muggermuch··on Ask HN: Which developing nations have interesting tech stories at the moment?
Yes! I remember reading TKC's tutorials as a teenager and being fascinated by his life story. I wonder what he's doing these days.

This. I think the fundamental human inability to acknowledge and anticipate the complex forces that drive an opponent was evolutionarily handy in the savannah, but is now quite the handicap in navigating geopolitics. This is something that mainstream media is adept at - describing Iran or China as a monolithic malevolent force plotting evil against the rest of the world might be elegant from a Manichean perspective (e.g. "Iran called off talks", "China moved its ships to the Spratly Islands", etc.), but does not do enough justice to the mind-boggling complexity of these ancient societies.
