It's not working like that. It's your choice what you use.

It's like alcohol, people use it even they know it's bad.

Govt is spying on you, but you can't delete account with them. With fb at least you can xD

Car rental price comparision website shows EURO currency in quotes , then the car renter says only USD in cash and they convert by their own exchange - you overpay.

You have different price on reservation and different at the counter when you pick up the car key. At the time of picking up you already paid 10% fee online, so its not worth to cancel.

Try pay-per-message via www.smsapi.com

You will pay circa 10 cents per month if you use it once a month via pre paid

Re:Ask HN: How do you measure eng team productivity? on Monday July 31, 2023 @05:17AM (#36940284)
I think, first principle is to build something that people want.

If you build this way, I feel more comfortable than building something fast, that at the end has close to zero usage.

2 - 7 eng dev teams is a small one. It means, just put people on top of things and things should develop faster than in a an average team in any corporation.

This approach/mindset might not work in corporations etc. since they want to have "reports"

Try The Fastlane Forum
Because it discourage discussion against the "crowd wisdom" of HN.

Had a lot of karma collected, then a comment with different opinion against point of view of HN wasted it.

It may be a feature, not a bug because it reinforcing the network of same minded people here, and dicourages different opinions.

As Peter Thiel tells: "Tell me something that's true, that almost nobody agrees with you on."

You won't find this on HN because signal to noise ratio is low in such discussions and you will get downvoted.

Maybe there should be option to sort from most downvoted on the top to fix in some part this issue?

I have the same issue with App Store.

Paid 5 bucks for app upfront. Now I can't download it from app store coz it's deleted from it.

I got robbed by Apple with their 30% rake on top of dev price tag.

How come, maybe they just stop printing new dollars when the govt collapse?

USD can exsist without govt. It can't exsist without army behind the paper , at least on paper.

I know thousands of people who benefited from crypto, many individually. 99% of them are outside USA

The telephone, the internet, and crypto share one thing in common. Each technology improves on the next in terms of its ability to facilitate fraud. As such, I was initially a crypto skeptic, but after studying some of the more interesting crypto projects, I have come to realization world must evolve
example my friend told me today: it generates jokes about poles, but if you ask about jokes about jews then it's restricted

I like jews but i also like poles

Re:Ask HN: Why is Roblox allowed on the iOS app store? on Sunday January 29, 2023 @04:27PM (#34572941)
can you elaborate what do you mean "sharing code that is sandboxed" in your question? Im not too familiar to roblox
I do recommend toget 2fas.com asap and export your codes to iCloud/G Drive.

If you lose the phone its easier to recover.

Re:Ask HN: Predictions on the Crypto/Blockchain Ecosystem? on Tuesday November 29, 2022 @01:03AM (#33784180)
In the past all my comments got downvoted and my karma got destroyed on this forum because of talking on crypto. Regarding crypto as a scammers tool I will just leave it here because it doesnt make sense to talk in this HN crowd about it as you get downvotes by default from sceptics:

Re:Ask HN: Do you think VC has made bootstrapping harder? on Monday November 14, 2022 @02:25AM (#33591105)
Boostrap with service company, and build product on a side.

This works since 2000s - check success stories of some known companies and you will find this path in many stories.

I would say, thanks to VC money it is easier to get sevice jobs aside.

Re:Over $400M worth of tokens drained from FTX accounts on Sunday November 13, 2022 @05:48AM (#33581836)
any progress requires mistakes, crypto over internet only speed ups this process

people wont fall twice into same scam

people can learn faster thanks to it

in other indystries there are also bad actors

only different, crypto is faster which is good thing in good use cases

Re:Over $400M worth of tokens drained from FTX accounts on Sunday November 13, 2022 @05:45AM (#33581824)
yes, but the same we can tell about equity invention...

people were misusing it, does it mean that it is bad?

LLC are a main factorfor growth in last 100 years because of incentives aligment. same with crypto.

any tool can be exploited by bad actors

does it mean it should not exsist or be hated?

Re:Over $400M worth of tokens drained from FTX accounts on Saturday November 12, 2022 @06:07AM (#33572016)
I always wonder from where there is such amount of hate in HN community towards crypto ?

S*t happens in any industry. Check bank runs in the past or banking crunch from 2008 etc.

Any fast growing situation or industry takes pain.

Question, what will happen in 20 years from now? Puting hate on public forum is weak

Where?
