Thank you for explaining the context so well. But I disagree with your first claim. I'm saying it is totally a PR exercise.

In fact, we all know that saying Thank you may provide real value to both sides, because we mean it

But meaningless gestures, such as a billionaire at a wealthy and healthy company taking a paycut, harm and devalue our social fabric

It would be equally performative. This is morality theater. I'd only question his judgment about public relations.

I do understand the reasoning for this adjustment of his salary. I'm simply saying I wish it was not necessary. It's sad.

That could be the cause

Maybe it can happen, but is it possible that this video is mostly faked?

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, but maybe that, the improbable 12000%, is the thinking that you're trying to understand?

Really no price? Even given the opportunity to buy at $10, you still wouldn't hold?

>It's nicer than the alternative (to explode even later)

These two outcomes are mutually exclusive. You're speaking nonsense.

Why is that "nice"?

Take that as a sign that the majority of this community do not want any more open discussion about this issue, and the site's administrators accept this consensus

Because these types of comments take little effort to post, and to read

People who could post an interesting technical comment about zero knowledge proofs or monetary theory will be discouraged, if the responses are low effort rants like "Crypto is a scam" or "Bitcoin will destroy fiat"

So intelligent and informed people don't bother to join these discussions on HN any more

>... Chess.com appears to violate their promise of confidentiality...

I think they believe that Nieman bringing his alleged cheating at Chess.com into the public arena, and saying things about it that Chess.com believe are not true, broke the agreeement between them, and gave Chess.com the right to respond

Edit : He can try to game the ratings system by looking for high-rated opponents who he knows will not play as well as their ratings suggest for some reason (like illness or personal issues). But he doesn't seem the sort to enjoy this

Freezing is not the same as seizing, and it's not even clear in which countries all those alleged Tether dollars are or in what form they are held

If it's true that Tether is based on fractional reserves, then having the US freezing their customers' assets seems helpful for Tether, as they will have more free assets to use

Can you link to the comments that said that?

I can just see one comment saying Starlink is better than its competitors, which might fit that description. All the other comments seem like neutral personal reports of the price reduction in various places, or comments questioning the reasons for this, or even complaining about it

to top 18%

You need to edit your title, perhaps HN autostripped that?

Maybe because you said something crudely insensitive in a community that might know the victims, and definitely includes people who do similar jobs?

I hope none of your friends or family ever get char broiled.
