Largest supercluster in the world created in a small time frame is pretty important. 4 years typically, cut down to 19 days. That's an incredible achievement and I, along with many others, think it's important.

What is hilarious is your disdain for their achievements which occurred in less than two years. This is just the beginning.
Can I grant myself a visa with my own LLC? I co-own and run it remotely, it's making 600k profit from 4mil revenue. It's based in the US, I'm from Ireland, living in the UK. It hasn't taken investment but we reinvest a lot of revenue in growth.

Fair point!

Literally every past comment of his is contentious or negative. Probably worth ignoring from here, clearly isn't acting in good faith on here.

Calling someone a terrible person, liar, scammer and fraud with little evidence is not a good look. Even if all your points are true (Austen has refuted at least a few), "terrible person" is a huge stretch.

You can surely see they are helping a lot of people, in addition to what you believe on the negative side of things. Not trying to be snippy or offer a trick question, but genuinely, what do you get out of this? Surely it's not worth your time. Even if he is the biggest scammer on the planet you are probably better off spending your time on constructive things.

Just wanted to say you have done a good job explaining here. Unfortunately people love to concentrate on negative outcomes without thinking about the positive. On balance the few, arguably "bad" things Lamda has done seem to be hugely outweighed by the positive.

This isn't true
That article is almost a year old.

They made over 5 billion in GAAP income last year. 1.5 billion of that was regulatory credits. They currently make money making and selling vehicles.

I can't seem to reply to it but I second poorjohnmacafee's comment about creating a business.

I was in a similar place to you 6 years ago, it never really clicked for me in a regular job.

I started my own small business in the vein of Max Maher/Rohan Gilkes/Sweaty Startup (moving service/house cleaning etc. ). I knew nothing about the industry I chose and worked on average about 25 hours a week. The competition is weak as the brightest/best are all (generally) in coding/tech/law/finance.

Plenty of options out there to start something low risk and cheap.

It just clicked for me, I've really enjoyed the process and I genuinely did struggle at every job I ever held.

It can be tough but the rewards are great if you are suited to running a business.

Re:Ask HN: How can a unhireable person get a job? on Thursday April 15, 2021 @06:52PM (#26827198)
I do some hiring for my company, and if I saw a resume with numerous <2 month positions it would be a red flag. Try lowering your expectations, find any position and stick with it. You can continue to apply for better roles while you have that job. Worst case you end up there for 6 + months which looks much better on a resume. Best of luck!

People who move abroad still have to pay taxes in the US, unless they renounce citizenship.

Some remote workers who can might do that but I doubt very many.

Are you saying you would like the people in charge to remove all restrictions?

Do you agree that a higher number of people will die if they do this? Are you OK with that?

Ask HN: What is wrong with the VoIP industry?

I run a small business. We have four different locations and four numbers that customers can call or text. We employ a remote operations team that handles the calls and texts.I have spent hours searching for a simple service that can offer an online dashboard for texting and calling, and a phone app to receive calls on.We are currently using Google Voice which is terrible (I cannot tell which...

Use a screen recorder to record a 2-3 minute video of what you're working on and where you are going next.

https://www.loom.com is what I use.

It's a free, low friction service, just click a few buttons and you can record a screengrab with voiceover.

What are you basing your assessment of Tesla auto pilot on? Genuinely curious, if you could point me in the direction of some resources on the topic I would appreciate it.

Good open source projects for beginners?

I'm learning javascript and am still in the beginner phase. Are there any open source projects that would accept work from a beginner? How do I find them if so? Or is it unlikely I will be of any use until I'm at a more advanced level?For an idea of my level, a recent project was a basic 2 player card game that used html, css, vanilla JS, websockets, s3 and EC2. It was completed with a lot of...

Not the person you responded to but this is a nice mix from The Kais on Soundcloud.

Totally agree on mixes being great. If you have any specific suggestions in return please feel free to share. I'll check out Johnny M on YouTube.

I think most states are blocked by Pokerstars, so I'm fine with pooling outside and finding a different service to run the game. We could start with the entry fee small the first week until trust builds, or use an escrow if people are nervous about sending entry fee to a randomer? It shouldn't be more than $10-20 anyway, depending on what people respond with
Me? No
Thanks, appreciate you helping out with organising. I just filled it in.

Ask HN: Is anyone interested in a Hacker News virtual poker night?

Hey all, is anyone interested in a virtual poker night? Pokerstars lets you run private games, we could organise a weekly Hacker News tournament. Let me know if you are interested, a range of times that might suit and a buy in you would be OK with. I'll try to figure something out that suits the most amount of people if I get enough interest.I'll start, Friday or Saturday evenings 6pm-12pm GMT...

Ask HN: Can or should I learn to code on a Windows computer?

I have done a few online courses in HTML, CSS and Javascript and created my first website. My next step is do a Python course and then create a small web app as a project.Is it possible to learn on a Windows computer? Git and Python programs exist for Windows and there is a cmd line.General wisdom seems to point towards installing a version of Linux like Ubuntu. I'd like to know your reasons...
