Go to a good fire and brimstone preacher and sit in the pews for a while and whatever comes out of his mouth is far less hellish than the job market today.

Silicon Valley still doesnt have any of those.

He’s 100 percent correct and if you disagree you underestimate the effects of the Fax Machine on the economy and over-estimate the effects of the internet of 2005.

if you believe the conspircy theory that Satoshi was created by an intelligence agency, then having it discovered would make a some people wary of using it.

Puerto Rico would be a better American analogue for Greenland, California would be more like Syddanmark.

Show HN: Curatrs – Scheduled Programming for Podcasts

https://www.curatrs.com/

Like many of us, I got tired of scrolling endlessly through podcast apps trying to find the right show for my commute. So I built Curatrs (curatrs.com) - it brings radio-style scheduled programming to podcast discovery.Instead of endless scrolling, you get podcasts programmed for specific times and durations. Currently in early MVP, built with Vite/Supabase, focused on making discovery more...

Re:Is DeepSeek China's Sputnik Moment? on Monday February 03, 2025 @01:40PM (#42921317)
The thing about sputnik is that everyone knew that the soviets would launch a satellite before America did but people freaked out when they actually saw or heard that bleeping ball hovering over there head.
depends on the gang. the older gangs refuse to accept non-natives, so the newer gangs enroaching on their turf do.
majority of the scandanavian crime wave isnt due to immigration but drug dealing native biker gangs
Re:Migrate TikTok posts to RedNote AI agent on Friday January 17, 2025 @02:11PM (#42742105)
reels suck. American apps like instagram and twitter focus on selling users information to advertisers while chinese apps like tiktok and Rednote focus on selling advertisements to users, and the later produces higher quality FYPs and less slop.

In five or six years you will have american consumer apps pretending to be chinese, like Haagen Daez or Matsui

Silicon Valley's obsession with high-margin SaaS is kinda similar to Detroit's fixation on high-margin gas-guzzlers – both overlooked the disruptive potential of foreign competitors focused on what consumers actually want
more that execs are looking for an excuse to tell their board of directors why sales are falling that doesnt include online ordering. the movement to E-Commerce is a double hit to stores because not only do they directly lose sales but when something is ordered from their stores (on e.g -doordash) they have to put people on packaging those goods- which they see no income from and makes the brick-and-mortar store less staffed.
Even if shoppifting tripled it would be minuscule in the overall scheme of things. Groceries pay 2 dollars per dozen eggs to farmers and have to toss out them out every few days, wastage-wise it’s basically a blip

It feels like global disposable income isn’t growing but that’s not true because the list of necessities increase the more income increases, if you lived like a person in the 90’s did you could save a huge amount of money,

Re:Murderbot, She Wrote. Martha Wells Article on Wired on Tuesday December 03, 2024 @11:37AM (#42308094)
I was the opposite, when reading the novels I always felt a female vibe from murderbot so when the news came out about the tv series and the actor that was chosen to portray them it kinda shocked me and forced me to wonder why i assumed that.
