How else do you think people learn? Losing money by making bad trades IS learning something of value- like learning not to touch the hot stove.

You certainly don’t learn anything from giving all your money to a mutual fund.

Privacy issue with OfferUp app

Posted by justincorbett on Monday April 24, 2017 @03:00PM
from the self-post dept.

Search for an item, but use someone's full name or just their last name. It will pull items from people with that name, even if they have removed their last name from the app.Technically speaking, OfferUp has always been a terrible app (no iphone 7+ scaling, auto-correct, etc), but this is a new low.

Re:A job request as a repo gets #1 on GitHub trending on Monday October 10, 2016 @06:15PM (#12680166)

I agree - I figured posting to Hacker News was my way of "reporting". ;)

A job request is the top trending github repo today. I was curious how this reached #1, as there was nothing clever or funny. Looking at the "stargazers", or people who were starring this repos, 99% of them joined Github on 10/08/16.

Is this something to applaud, condone, or shame?
