Sure. You're a useless cunt and when you die it will massively improve the life of everyone you know.

Welcome to the truth my friend.


We've banned this account, not just for this egregious violation of the site rules, but because you've been doing it repeatedly for a long time and have ignored our requests to stop. Seriously not cool.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.


You mean people like you? Or are you working there for minimum wage?


By learning what they are. It's not that difficult. A pyramid scheme of any sort requires new participants continually. Crypto currency does not.


Whales depend on new money entering to keep the price from plummeting. I used to think of crypto’s as a decentralized ponzi where all the participants are incentivized to bring in as many new participants as possible. They’ve cut this part out and just decided to go with making fake money out of tether to prop up the price.


No, the price was rising well before any of the "whales" came in. You're just writing a narrative that suits your existing preconceptions.


Whales is a relative term for a percentile distribution; not a static designation for some arbitrary dollar threshold.


Everyone having information is called "universal education". It's not a bad thing.


Well, at least you now know why many developers oppose salary transparency: because they ultimately will get screwed as wages regress toward a mean.


Yes, that's true. I guess I don't oppose it because I don't care. But I certainly know many developers whore highly concerned about their pay.


Or a long cable...

Actually, it wouldn't need to be that long. The circumference of the moon is 40k kilometres, so assuming the site was in the center of the far side (though there's no reason it needs to be), that would put it at ~10,000 km from sight of the earth.

That's shorter than some transatlantic cables. I reckon it would be doable.


Would like to know this too.


There isn't any for mine; it's included with the house.


Doesn't that mean you pay the rent for it then?


Vague bet. What does "worth nothing" mean? Obviously collectibles will be worth something and even crappy cars will have scrap value.


Have you genuinely never seen people refer to, say, $10k to mean ten thousand dollars? It's very common.


Don't criticize your parents for not knowing as much as you do. I'm sure they hoped that would be the case.


I’m not criticizing them, I’m contrasting the impact of environment. How many people growing up in that environment never discover their Hacker News?


That's fair enough. I didn't grow up in an ideal environment, but I also did have enough encouragement to end up where I am today.
