Right, I think the other surprising thing is that there’s no outpouring of support. Sama was head of YC for a while. Where’s the love at HN? Where is the loove the love the looove.
Hahah I like that this forum tries to be unbiased, regardless of who runs/ran it. This would not be a great community if it was an echo chamber. All of this news is extremely fresh though, so I personally am reserving my opinion until more information comes out.
I do like reading some of the the conspiracy theories, some are wild.
Sure, some kinds of speculation can be fun. Others harmful. But that’s the way it is.
It’s just weird that there seems to be noo love on here for sama at this time. Having some love is what I was expecting and that’s not an echo chamber but it’s unusual that it’s not present given his history here. Right?
The likelihood of this passing is low (to me), but I'm curious of Hacker New's input on how (or if) the US would ever get to a digital currency to replace the dollar.
The fact that Monero is still not listed on Coinbase tells you everything you need to know about the US stance on true "privacy protecting" assets.
In any case, it wouldn't fully replace the dollar despite the contemporary discussion of a cashless society - this disenfranchises lower income groups and honestly I would be surprised if we completely move away from cash entirely within my lifetime.
Was in Vieques recently, absolutely amazing! If possible, try to plan to go when it isn't a full moon, or the sky is cloudy. Harder to see the illumination when the moon is shining bright. And you're correct they don't allow you to swim in it any longer, but they say its because it's harmful to the microorganisms, didn't mention the shark nursery.
Having said that, I would swim again in that water without concern - thousands of tourists did it before and after me, what happened to that woman was just bad luck.
It works on other Google product that has the "Submit Feedback" link on it. I just tested this out with Google Webmasters and it's an issue there as well.
You can't comment like this on HN; accusing other commenters of having secret conflicts of interest is the HN Guideline 'dang corrects most often here:
Doesn’t seem like an accusation of a conflict of interest to me. Just pointing out who has the burden to test. Since one is paid by the company, it does make sense for testing the company’s products would be his responsibility first.
Whereas the previous comment was accusing the other one of lying about testing it.
If all 6 million G Suite customers, with an average number of users at 25 per G Suite account, paying the $20/user fee, requested the three day credit for this breach in the SLA contract for the outage, it'd cost Google about 300 million dollars.
