Echo is also a name...



And Umberto is dead.


RoaringKitty is also known as DeepFuckingValue. This name is probably more well known to the general public, but Reuters does not mention it.


Outside of WSB memes, how well known is DFV as a monicker vs roaring kitty. To the regular person, both are not household names. To anyone who is really invested in the story, they'd know both. The very small niche of people who know one but not the other isn't worth Reuters having to include profanity (not that I object to profanity).


To anyone, like me, who has observed this from a safe distance : DFV is a widely-reported username. Like, you'd read it in a short news piece about the whole debacle. This post is the first time I see "Roaring Kitty".


I had heard about DFV but not Roaring Kitty.


Same. Or rather, I had vaguely heard Roaring Kitty but didn’t know it was the same person. Learned it just now.


DFV = DeepFuckingValue = reddit name

Roaring Kitty = youtube channel


I don’t think that’s true. Yes, anyone aware of or involved in the story knows DeepFuckingValue, but I often see people online—even people who worship him as their hero—surprised that he’s not some mysterious figure, but had been putting out YouTube videos for months. His videos still have shockingly low view counts considering how famous and pivotal a figure he’s become.


Assterisks for the pudes- D*pFuckingV*lue works.


Yeah, but that's gonna be sensored out of every US channel dee-beep-lue


£9.15 per item [independent of its cost]

That's basically what a copay is.


Aren't a lot of copay's percentage based?


That form is more precisely called coinsurance, with the precise definition of copay being the case where you pay a fixed amount of money per occurrence.


My landline was replaced with an internet connection a few years ago by the utility. The original landline handset still works, so the change is transparent to the average customer.

How would that be handled in this case?


On HN, we are supposed to respond to the strongest interpretation of a comment.

CNC machines add capabilities that are not possible by hand. In these shops, you might see deburring done as an extension of the machine cycle where labor cost is high, but by hand where it is low.

GP is right that automation is a huge commitment in design and manufacture. If there are any finicky parts, it's likely that humans will have to do or correct the robot's job, and now you have an idle robot and an engaged human.


That's ~$.66/g. A car at that price would be around $1M.


I recently visited Shanghai. Mopeds are the primary mode of transport, but gas mopeds are banned. Compared to some other moped-heavy cities that I have visited, it was a huge improvement to the smell and noise.


I thought the use of an e-cigarette for smoke generation was very creative. As I don't smoke, I'm not sure if I would have thought of this.


Is the heat given off by burning fossil fuels significant compared to the amount of heat trapped by the released CO2 over it's lifetime in the atmosphere?


Facebook, WhatsApp, Snap, Twitter, YouTube, ByteDance, Twitch, Reddit, and Discord.


It might be useful to put TikTok in parentheses for ByteDance, since that's their flagship product and most people (myself included) do/did not know that ByteDance is the company behind TikTok.


On the contrary I would guess most people here know what ByteDance is.

Why list Facebook, then list WhatsApp, but not Instagram? Is Instagram not part of it then? If WhatsApp wasn't there, I'd assume they're both under FB but listing WhatsApp separately is strange.


Doesn't Facebook manage the ad network that would show up on Instagram?


I bet it’s due to a weird corporate structure that Facebook has.


Specifically says Amazon, and not Twitch (though Amazon owns Twitch), which is interesting given they have Youtube but not Google/Alphabet.
