randomopining··on Apple, Goldman Sachs Debut Savings Account with 4.15% Annual Yield
no the rates can change at any time
randomopining··on Epicurus for Our Time
Evolutionary pressure in the form of intra-human competition. Look at CCP China vs the US. China is going to add like 80% of new coal-powered power plants. All so they can get cheap energy to get ahead of the US/West. The US has done the same thing.

Businesses are run by people who want to earn money to get ahead of others. Yeah some business are legit creating new things, but many are just making people want to buy useless widgets or waste their time on an ad pipeline platform.

randomopining··on What if Meta launches a mobile app store?
If they curate quality and safety, it does provide value.
randomopining··on New React docs pretend SPAs don't exist anymore
Isn’t it going to get to a point where servers and avg connections are so fast that server side rendering makes sense again?
randomopining··on Apple should make an M3 MacBook SE and sell it for $850
Apple isn't about insane value. And everybody having a Mac destroys some of its value, which is that only certain people can have them.

Theyre about extracting as much money as possible. Higher class machine, better in most areas, higher price.

randomopining··on How Can I Cope With Living In A Dying Nation?
Crazy that Nigeria's population is going to be like 500 million in a few decades. That's a lot of people.
randomopining··on Ask HN: So what IS the end game for any WW3 scenario?
US Defense is known to be heavily bloated. They spend millions or even billions on projects that just end up in the dumpster.

Spending shouldn't be taken at face value. If the Chinese develop 1 perfect rocket for attacking Taiwan and then produce 1000s at low cost, they can just saturate the whole island and destroy any resistance by sheer force.

randomopining··on Ask HN: So what IS the end game for any WW3 scenario?
The wet dream of space population always rubs me the wrong way. Basically all of these purely human issues will exist anywhere we go until we solve them. Earth is the only planet we know of that is perfectly made for us. No other place can fit us as well. And yet we can't even utilize it properly.

Given that, it's almost childish to think that our #1 priority is to populate other random nearby planets.

randomopining··on Microsoft to support Windows 11 on M1 and M2 Macs through Parallels partnership
What about it is dated? and is windows better?
randomopining··on Ask HN: Are Scrum-Masters Useful / Worth a Full-Time Salary?
I've been saying that you could hire an astute middle schooler (probably a well-organized girl) to be a scrum master and it would be the same.
randomopining··on Ask HN: Are Scrum-Masters Useful / Worth a Full-Time Salary?
Ha yeah my developer manager used to lead them along with the lead business analyst. Went smooth and effective. Kanban board is useful, along with a short stand up.

Now we are in 2 different scrums with 2 scrum masters and it's legit the biggest waste of time ever. They don't even know what half the jiras mean, let alone the context.

randomopining··on Ask HN: What happens to Apple and Tesla if US/China tension spiral?
Spiraled as in the world's two most advanced militaries having an all out fight in the busiest shipping lanes lol. Prob all business would instantly shut down overnight.
randomopining··on Van Life in Japan
Yeah but just in general it seems like they're an insular society, don't have random big parties and stuff. It's all like rigid, at the specific bar area. I went to a language meetup and met some cool ones that spoke enough English. But that was about as far as I got. All the "side quests" were with foreigners who I met.
randomopining··on Van Life in Japan
Yeah I enjoy both. But the little "side quests" that happen when you're able to regularly interact with people didn't seem to happen as much in Japan. Only with foreigners who lived there who could act as a bit of a bridge. It's an insular society too.
randomopining··on Van Life in Japan
I found it kind of boring/isolating though. Did you? It's unbelievably easy to move through their society, eat well, etc etc. But not truly interacting with anybody for weeks at a time besides tourists is kind of annoying.
randomopining··on MDMA and psilocybin are approved as medicines in Australia
Do you know any ways to reverse the damage or desensitization?
randomopining··on MDMA and psilocybin are approved as medicines in Australia
Does it make you yearn for that the rest of your life though? Nothing can ever be as impressive as the empathetic openness on a heavy roll with the right people around you
randomopining··on Ask HN: What are we even chasing?
How much do you spend per month? If youre frugal dont you have at least 1-2 yuears saved?
randomopining··on MacBook Pro featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max
To make money just like you showed. You got the 8gb and now you want to pay more to get another one with M2 and 16gb+. Apple product segmentation is legendary for extracting the most from consumers.
randomopining··on MacBook Pro featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max
Is this thing actually faster than a cheap Ryzen build for browsing? Like a 5600g that are super cheap now
randomopining··on Why Intermittent Fasting Has So Many Health Benefits
Yeah its to use energy more efficiently when we are under stress
randomopining··on U.S. trade deficit shrinks 21% to 26-month low as imports tumble
Retrospectively it was so easy to predict this. Interesting to hear it first hand though
randomopining··on 75% of Covid ‘long haulers’ free of symptoms in 12 months: McMaster study
You need to rest and take certain supplements to heal the endothelial system, allow the body to clear any remnants of the virus, and then damper down the immune excitation.

Pycnogenol, nattokinase, grape seed extract, vit d/c, b vits, etc.

randomopining··on Canada bans most foreigners from buying homes
It's more than a million. And there are delayed effects, like family members coming and of course a higher reproductive rate. Just more people to house in general. Of course immigration is a good thing overall, but let's get skilled workers in first and then fill the rest of the space fairly.
randomopining··on Silicon Valley offices less empty than other regions
You mean they aren't gonna renew en masse?
randomopining··on Elon Yes 57% No 43%
Prob just trying to pump TSLA stock and then sell some more
randomopining··on Ask HN: What is the best income stream you have created till date?
How so hard to understand? There’s an acceptable level of work at a company and this guy is meeting it without having to use 40 hours a week.
randomopining··on BlackRock says get ready for a recession unlike any other
The Fed will not let lots of people lose jobs. Simply won’t happen.
randomopining··on Ask HN: What sort of systemic risk to crypto is Paul Graham referring to?
I regret wasting money in crypto. Prob lost tens of thousands. All of that stress and there's literally no use-case and there never was besides some fringe stuff. And I knew it the whole time, but listened to the twitter crowd.

As liquidity tightens, it's just simply that there's not enough in the cryptoverse and all the centralized entities like Tether etc are gonna implode.

randomopining··on Memento mori
Listen to the song Momento Mori by Lamb of God... it's amazing if you like metal
