Ask HN: Was there controversy with how much energy computers were using
Given the news about how mining crypto is destroying the environment, was there any news similar to that when the personal computer started to be adopted in the masses?

Re:Ask HN: Has anyone built an AI agent that spends real money?

Many companies that have virtual cards as a service are hesitant to give agent access until the company shows reliable volume. You could add it yourself to your agent or hire a human to take care of it.

Like everyone else in this thread. You changed the trajectory of my life for the better. Came across your website as a business major fall of 2013 and never looked back!

Reading this part really made my head shake. Attacking a former intern like that, why would anyone want to intern there after this?

Effectively communicating through text amplified due to WFH. If you can avoid syncing up on video chat and resolve something with a couple of back and forth messages. That's a win

This looks really good, thanks for building this. Based on my level of experience I just started getting system design questions in my interviews and haven't really succeeded in any of them. I'm going to share this with my friends preparing for interviews too.

We plan on using Tradier brokerage with the Tradier api.
In terms of envisioning, it would be more Jim Cramer type that would be more interested in this over Hedge Fund Managers, in an honest opinion.

There was a startup that for $10,000 it was a third party option package that was self driving. I wonder how it is doing with all these car companies that create their own options for self-driving.

This is too bad, I feel sorry for the company in a way. This was a company I kept up with because it was fun seeing their growth.
I didn't see the negative side of the culture until after Conrad stepped down and all hell broke loose.

There are ways for the developers to earn the donations asked. Edx is an example of the other one.

I never thought the problem was the product, rather it is the management and the community. What's valuable about hacker news is the people who are involved, and what's great about Quora are the people who give a response.
It's not helpful that most people spam useless tweets constantly. It took a while, but I finally set my twitter to follow news updates perfectly.

That's something! And I truly believe they don't just say these things, they know that people can turn their startups around, so hopefully it will be a more attractive application the next time you apply.
