Very true. Ask Venezuela or Argentina if they trust the value of their fiat currency.
I plan on adding additional who/context of the mention. It is for my own personal use really. But I find it interesting.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2014) on Friday August 01, 2014 @11:23AM (#8120452)
Front End/Full Stack Engineer

Employee Life - Perth, Australia - Full Time (remote)

We are an Australian startup who are developing a simple cloud-based social platform which helps employers, managers and employees stay on track and improve day-to-day performance.

We are currently expanding our small development team (All remote workers) by trying to identify talented engineers who love working with the stack below. We believe a commited hard working team player is required to fill this role because in a small team we really do “wear many hats”.

This will be a full time role (ongoing) and we believe it is a great opportunity for the right person, as we are starting to gain some real traction.

Production experience essential in the following -

  Node.js, 
  Angularjs, 
  Mongodb, 
  jQuery
Good knowledge in some of the following might also help but is not essential - Linux, AWS, .Net, PhoneGap, bootstrap, MVC, MVVM, OOP, REST API Development, Elastic Search, Nginx

Workers in Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia will find this ideal – due to timezones – but we'd be happy to talk to anyone who fits the above.

Please email me for more details or to apply - dworrad AT yahoo.co.uk

Re:The spiral of learning on Wednesday January 01, 2014 @12:20AM (#6994254)
I think you could approach it a little differently.

You should try and do/create cool/interesting things/projects which help you learn the skill a little more.

Rather than going at it with the intention of learning xyz

To me SEO is like tax evasion... it's just a way of screwing the system. How funny that the seo scum are toying with google the tax evasion kings.

So on windows I have to manually download another browser... Can someone tell me how I can purchase music from anywhere other than iTunes on my iPod?
Re:Adderall Addiction: The Last All-Nighter on Wednesday March 06, 2013 @09:07AM (#5331167)
Many people will tell you that when you go in to "sugar burning" (approx 140bpm+) mode then you are doing very little to improve your aerobic capacity... Regardless of your heart rate being lower at certain points. Read about Mark Allen's (Ironman champion) experiences with this. To train your aerobic system you need to start in the aerobic zone and stay there religiously. IMHO
I'm sorry but what about the ipod, iPad, iPhone.... Can't remember them giving me the choice of where I want to buy media. This must be a joke?

You can run easily because your placate threshold has been significantly increased... doing sprints won't improve your aerobic capacity to any great degree... just ask Usain Bolt
Re:Adderall Addiction: The Last All-Nighter on Tuesday March 05, 2013 @10:21AM (#5324907)
It won't increase your aerobic capacity... It will raise your lactate threshold. The only way to increase your aerobic capacity is to spend a large amount of time exercising at an aerobic heart rate.
Re:Adderall Addiction: The Last All-Nighter on Tuesday March 05, 2013 @07:36AM (#5324111)
I have for many years realised the benefits of high intensity (hit) exercise and it does work... but like anything it has it's downside... illness and injury can become very common if diet and rest aren't factored in. I find the problem is that most people exercise in what I call the grey zone - not easy and long enough... or not hard and short enough. Most recreational runners fall into this category.... if you can balance easy and long (<140bpm) workouts with short and hard (20 minutes) you will gain many benefits. But you can't build an aerobic base without long easy workouts imho.

Re:Domain Name Loans on Monday February 11, 2013 @05:25AM (#5200160)
Yes it's a free service, we launched the other day www.name2.me . Domain giveaways and loans. We're trying to convince domain name holders to recycle their unused domains. To some people the $10 for a new domain is a big deal.... so it gives them a chance to snap up a domain without any cost.
Re:Show HN: Giving lonely domain names a new life - name2.me on Friday February 08, 2013 @11:00AM (#5188435)
We are aware of that possibility and we have "whois" jobs running to tell us that domains have exchanged hands - we are working on other ideas. Also we won't be so generous with the points once the site is off and running. But I still think that if you are not using a domain (and not going to renew) then you might as well let anyone have it - I don't foresee many really great domains coming through here (I might be wrong)... But it does give the kid who doesn't have $10 (or a credit card) the chance to grab a domain for free.
