>This isn't a PR exercise. Context is needed

Thank you for explaining the context so well. But I disagree with your first claim. I'm saying it is totally a PR exercise.

>symbolic gestures constitute a large part of the fabric of society.

In fact, we all know that saying Thank you may provide real value to both sides, because we mean it

But meaningless gestures, such as a billionaire at a wealthy and healthy company taking a paycut, harm and devalue our social fabric

>I’m curious what your reaction would be if he got a 40% pay increase.

It would be equally performative. This is morality theater. I'd only question his judgment about public relations.

I do understand the reasoning for this adjustment of his salary. I'm simply saying I wish it was not necessary. It's sad.

I wish we could all be mature enough that such pointless symbolic gestures were not necessary. This causes no hardship for Tim and makes no non-negligible impact on Apple's financials or employee wellbeing

Helium's so scarce. You're attempting to reduce ultra high vacuum to even less. Not practical

Remove your focus from making money. Direct yourself at getting better at skills in a generalized way. Indirectly I've learned a lot from my supplementary projects, which supplements my core skillset. My result serendipitously is profit although that's not my target

There's a HN auto filter that removes unnecessary words from titles

That could be the cause

I certainly don't mean to nitpick[0], but this one is a total dumpster fire because it is lacking a clear 'HN is turning into Reddit!' comment[1]

That video looks extremely manufactured. There are so many edits and so many different camera angles.

Maybe it can happen, but is it possible that this video is mostly faked?

You say you can't understand, but the chart you yourself posted (to illustrate price volatilility) also shows a 12,000% increase in price in less than 8 years, up to today.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, but maybe that, the improbable 12000%, is the thinking that you're trying to understand?

>There is honestly no price I could buy it at where I would be willing to hold.

Really no price? Even given the opportunity to buy at $10, you still wouldn't hold?

>The nice thing is, that the more it continues, the bigger the fall will be.

>It's nicer than the alternative (to explode even later)

These two outcomes are mutually exclusive. You're speaking nonsense.

Why is that "nice"?

And now your question has been flag killed.

Take that as a sign that the majority of this community do not want any more open discussion about this issue, and the site's administrators accept this consensus

>it’s overloaded with mid to low value commentsi

Because these types of comments take little effort to post, and to read

People who could post an interesting technical comment about zero knowledge proofs or monetary theory will be discouraged, if the responses are low effort rants like "Crypto is a scam" or "Bitcoin will destroy fiat"

So intelligent and informed people don't bother to join these discussions on HN any more

Sorry, I didn't read your comment carefully. I also wonder if there's enough information there to identify the players

Edit: the comment above is apparently about a different, unidentified, player, not Nieman

>... Chess.com appears to violate their promise of confidentiality...

I think they believe that Nieman bringing his alleged cheating at Chess.com into the public arena, and saying things about it that Chess.com believe are not true, broke the agreeement between them, and gave Chess.com the right to respond

Unanticipated race condition perhaps? A process takes 2 minutes instead of 5 seconds, and then a later part of the startup fails because it has no way to handle the totally unexpected lack of data

Sorry, I don't know. (although the name NPR does provide a very strong suggestion about that, I guess)
