Good to know. I'll never work for Amazon no matter what the pay is.

For better security, you may want to update the SSL cert on your website. It's expired.

The most effective method I know of is to buy 10 Litecoins, because they'll be worth $100k+ each within 3 years. Then you're set.

useranme | 8 years ago | on: Insider trading has been rife on Wall Street, academics conclude
I used to believe the same thing. Then I came across these two posts that made me realize one can make a more by day trading:

I know it's not there yet but how far from "best thing available" is crypto?

If one has the ability to trade when the price moves, one makes more by selling Nvidia in the beginning of a dip and buying it on the uptrend.
Wall Street not understanding tech that much isn't as important if Wall Street can react to the price change.

I'm curious, why is it impossible? I don't know much about mining.
useranme | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Can my company sue me, if I use a patent I signed to them?
It's not worth it. You'll have other, more valuable ideas. Let it go.
Odds are the company won't understand this, or that only you could make this idea work (in a sense ideas choose people, not the other way around), and the patent may end up being useless to them. It's ok. Let it go.

"To survive the decades-long process"
It's not a decades-long process. I've seen it be closer to 2 years.

I liked the idea of increasing the amount of time a spammer expends over their email.
I didn't like the idea of having to manually forward the email, manually remove personal information from the body of the email, and sucking the recipient into watching the conversation unfold live. Because it increases the amount of time a recipient expends over a spam email.

I love tab completion.
I hate that the terminal and the browser are two different applications.
useranme | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why does Hacker News block me when I visit with a VPN?
HN seems to also treat connections from Tor differently. If I visit HN from Tor and click on "login" HN pretends it takes forever to establish a connection. But if I first click on an existing HN link and then login, then pages load ok. HN could do better to protect the privacy of its users.
useranme | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: I’d pay X for Y
I'd pay %20 for a tool that will let others pay for what they say they want before I go build it for them, to prove that they actually want it instead of just talk.

Why would thought leaders and well-known VCs want to do that?
