Re:Thank you HN on Monday August 13, 2018 @10:17AM (#17750240)

Just want thank HN as well... my previous submissions:

"Thank you HN, sorry HN" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5348589

Thanks again. I am fine now.

I hope not. I like SourceTree the way it is (on OS X) and every cross platform UI toolkit I know produces apps that don't feel native.

IMHO Bitbucket/Atlassian is doing it the right way: Native on the client side.

Thank you HN, sorry HN

A couple of months ago I posted a request for help here on HN [1] which somehow ended up on the front page. At that time I fought with heavy depressions - it was really bad. I did not expect my request for help to land on the front page but it did and I got what I asked for. A ton of people sent me emails with very kind words and advice. Now I am in a position where I have to do two things:1....

This heavily depends on how the companies you are investing in perform in the mid-term. It is true that the stock market out performs other kind of investments but this is only true if you are not investing in let's say 2-3 companies but rather in an index or something similar. Investing in an index is much much less exciting than investing in 2-3 companies.

This is so true and I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks that way. In addition to that one could argue that investing in stocks (whatever the industry may be you are investing in) is a bad thing if you are not an insider. My brother who is a hacker and economist at the same time showed me studies that determined/proofed that the stock market is very irrational (I mean we all knew that but those studies showed this with scientific methods). I will ask him about those studies again - may be interesting to others as well.

This is a throw away account. My real HN account is not blessed with a lot of karma but you could find out who I am by knowing by HN account name.I need help. A few months ago I founded my first startup together with a friend of mine. We were #1 on HN for nearly a whole day. I could feel pretty good but I am very depressed from time to time. At the moment I am in a phase of depression again and...
