Re:Ask HN: What are you predictions for 2023? on Sunday December 25, 2022 @06:12PM (#34132521)
I think he’s right in a sense but wrong in the numbers. The 100 intern will stay just that 100k will be 50k of 2010 dollars

I have yet to be able to easily read a single link to a mastodon post. With twitter embedded links worked really well on most sites. How do you get reach without that?
100 no but 90-95 is possible but hard to get. 70-80 is standard for consumer grade stuff
I don’t see how it ends without genocide of one form or another. Whoever wins is going to kill a bunch (more) people.

Lol yeah but don’t worry we changed the definition
Wouldn’t they provide the best impact as relief works or as logistical sponsors? It’s not like Ukraine is short on bodies, it needs food, guns and logistics, most of your friends would have had a greater impact by providing that.
Re:Why America Doesn’t Build What It Invents on Saturday December 24, 2022 @08:00PM (#34122933)
Mostly because manufacturing requires labor and causes pollution. Both are very expensive in the USA and very cheap in other countries
If I was on that divorce jury I’d give her more than half the stuff
What a waste… RIP. I wonder how he ended up getting sent to the meat grinder. I had assumed people with resources were able to buy their way out but maybe not, or just bad luck.

The only thing that matters is what the fed will do. The fed and government spending is the stock market
Re:The Simplest App That Makes Money on Saturday December 24, 2022 @03:17PM (#34120686)
The worst part is if you make some tiny amount of money say 1-2k then end up in tax and compliance hell
I wish you could project that on a decent mini planetarium
Re:The Billionaire Who Wants to Build the Tesla of Airplanes on Thursday December 22, 2022 @10:27AM (#34094248)
lol you can’t certify Tesla of airplane. Certification isn’t that lax in aerospace to allow that fast and loose philosophy

Re:Japan to invest on nuclear energy in major policy shift on Thursday December 22, 2022 @08:38AM (#34093075)
Yeah operating old reactor is a instance policy not an investment
Re:Ask HN: What is the best podcast you listened to in 2022? on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @11:29PM (#34089805)
Not quite a podcast but https://stocksandjocks.net/ radio show is really good and has guests on for 30-60 min
Re:Europe's Vega rocket crashes back to Earth on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @10:29PM (#34089425)
Italian made rockets… Italian companies are generally not known for producing things of high or consistent quality at manufacturing scale.
Re:Ask HN: How to bear through a long commute (2h one way) on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @12:44PM (#34083861)
In a developed country being a no contract tenant is a good thing. Any landlord dumb enough to have a no contract tenant is going to get absolutely wrecked by the legal system
Re:Ask HN: Favorite Purchases of 2022? on Wednesday December 21, 2022 @10:15AM (#34081712)

They should have raised prices instead of feeding the scalpers but whatever
Should have left him to rot there first
Your simplified model leads you to the wrong conclusion. You need a better model to understand the nuisances
It’s a bad way to slice data as Americans up to 22/23 are in school still. You want to cut that off at like 25-35 to get a good idea on if it’s a problem
Re:Spotifyd on Tuesday December 20, 2022 @10:33AM (#34067274)
I don’t think more listening time is the objective. Spotify is like a gym. They want you to subscribe but then never show up, or only show up for promoted content
Re:Drone Deer Recovery on Monday December 19, 2022 @06:33PM (#34059422)
I don’t understand how this would be profitable. It would take someone hours to just get to a site and back. The costs would be very high. Like 500-1000 per deer minimum, just to cover gas and labor
Aren’t you better off doing arbitration for small stuff? The company eats a bunch of the arbitration costs
Meta has no shareholders only suckers that own non voting stocks
