Re:Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet on Thursday October 15, 2026 @04:26AM (#50100836)
The whole point of the article is that even if you don't shop at Amazon you're paying their prices because of their price fixing scheme.
Re:Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet on Thursday October 15, 2026 @04:23AM (#50100823)
That part is fine. The fact that Amazon controls their vendor's pricing across the rest of their channels is a major issue though. It's price fixing tbh.
Re:Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet on Thursday October 15, 2026 @04:22AM (#50100817)
I don't think that's the same thing at all. Amazon forces price changes across all the vendor's other outlets, such as Walmart, their own website etc.

If Costco requires a separate SKU, the seller still has complete pricing freedom everywhere else.

Including known brands such as dermatologica skin cream etc. - just so much fraud with Amazon it's my shop of last resort.
Re:Study: Exercise increases cancer survival rates on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:29AM (#50021948)
There are some really good studies showing this. Dr. Walter Longo has been doing a study at USC for breast cancer patients. While his protocol is based on fasting, he believes a big reason for its success is the lower glucose.
Also wondering about instruments and learning to read sheet music.

Reddit makes a ton off these deals.

Does hacker news sell data?

You actually do. Getting a dog or having nephews isn't close to the same thing.

It's kind of like balance. You can read all about balance in a book and watch YouTube videos but until you get on a bicycle and experience it you'll never really "get" balance.

You can't imagine until you experience it. It's as simple as that.

This is only partially true. We depressingly agreed to get my daughter a phone for her 8th birthday.

She's the last person in her class to have one. That means when we drop her off at a birthday, she's the one playing with a fake phone while all the other kids have real ones. She's the one at the end of the school day begging to use her friend's phone.

Social pressure matters and making your kid the odd one out sucks.

Obviously we will put strict limits on it but I honestly felt like I was stuck with two awful choices.

That can be said about any decision. You can't go back in time. So every decision is permanent.

I understand that kids carry a long responsibility above just memories though.

I've thought about this and while I agree with you completely, I think the reason why is not just society at large. Externally what most people see is the time suck, money suck, and frustration with teaching behavior, fixing bad behavior etc.

What's so easy to miss is the immense feeling of love, of being needed, of being loved, that words can't describe. I frequently tell people I feel like the grinch after he discovers Xmas - my heart is three times bigger. But you can't really see that it's just a feeling I carry with me.

I wouldn't call it team building. I just think of it as a reminder that we are all friends that we all have families and struggles. We're all human and doing our best.

It's at a casino because it's near our facility, has conference rooms, event spaces, entertainment, and the weather doesn't matter.

Sometimes some people sit at a table and play while hanging out and that's fine. But it's not really about drinking or gambling. Just having a little fun together and getting to know each other and our +1s on a more personal level.

We have one annually for my company. It's at a casino, with a few scheduled meals and some activities (video game room, trivia done by a professional company).

It's voluntary and employees are allowed to bring their spouse. I think it helps a lot with communication, especially since we are a distributed team and most peoplr don't see each other.

But it's hard for me to know for sure, no one tells the owners the truth. It is voluntary and almost everyone attends. I think most people think of it as a free vacation.

Re:Stripe, Advent offer to buy PayPal for more than $53B on Thursday July 16, 2026 @06:04AM (#48932471)
In the US, Zelle payments are accepted by most major banks and are free and instant. I'm not sure how it could be better than that.

It would be nice if more smaller banks used it as well, but the US has 5k different banks.

Yes and I'll become another space industry. Cleanup. Sort of like how (coal/ocean/etc) pollution is both a problem and multi billion dollar a year industry.
They did and it used to take a lot of planning, using paper maps, getting lost etc.

Just like once people didn't use electricity or vaccines or indoor plumbing. For all its minuses the internet makes these long trips 10x easier.

The new satellites are like 100x better.
This is the right answer. They are building their own cell phone network to compete with major carriers worldwide.
What happens in Nebraska?!?
They compared AT&T users with an iPhone (the only place you could get an iPhone) to users with other carriers.

Since people using other carriers also experienced 2008, it's not that.

Population of Switzerland is around 9 million people. Slightly larger than NYC.

Comparing a country with the population of a single city in America is disingenuous. There are probably some cities in America that have faster internet than Switzerland.

Looking at a few friend's health app on their iPhone it's amazing to me to see people who walk less than 2,000 steps a day and don't go to the gym. It's shockingly normal in some places though.
That only works if the rest of the parents in your neighborhood also do it. Otherwise your kid won't be in group chats, will miss events.

I live in Israel where kids are given a phone at an extremely young age (partially because of the security situation). Teachers give homework over WhatsApp, schools announce changes to the schedule, etc.

What I'm saying is it's almost not just up to you anymore, it really depends on your circumstances.

This is by far the best solution and should be the top comment.

Why is the onus on the parents to chase after their kids - screen time is awful and kids get around it.

The social media and porn sites should be penalized and the onus should be on them. Just like when we were kids, the channel couldn't show certain content like nudity and cursing or they'd be fined.

How is it suddenly the obligation of the parent to supervise a million options with horrible interfaces.

My 7 year old came home crying the other day because every single person in her class has a phone except her.

I can't imagine taking it away from my older kids (14,11). They use it to chat with friends and play games with them, do homework together, make plans and share common experiences and videos.

It's not as simple as you think. You have no idea how shitty screentime is how much of a cat and mouse game it is. It's pretty easy with a two year old, you just wait and see though...

Your response is incredibly ignorant. You force your kid to be excluded if they don't have a phone. They're disconnected from friends, group chat, and common experiences.

You don't have a problem with age verification for drivers license, or buying a gun, or buying alcohol. Why is social media so different?

US gives Israel weapons not money.
Massie going against Trump is why he lost. Plenty of republican politicians are against Israel.
Re:SpaceX: Flying High on Impunity on Friday June 05, 2026 @01:26AM (#48408337)
SpaceX is still only going to be a tiny percentage of the stocks you own in an index fund. It doesn't make sense to let this single article affect your decision making. It's obviously completely biased and cherry picking specifics (like the exact window of time you'd have needed to have a negative return in the stock market).

And spaceX was just denied fast index entry https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-04/s-p-dow-j...
