This is super fun added it to my home screen.

On my iphone17e, some answers don't scroll so I can't click to continue to the next question.

The whole point of the article is that even if you don't shop at Amazon you're paying their prices because of their price fixing scheme.

That part is fine. The fact that Amazon controls their vendor's pricing across the rest of their channels is a major issue though. It's price fixing tbh.

I don't think that's the same thing at all. Amazon forces price changes across all the vendor's other outlets, such as Walmart, their own website etc.

If Costco requires a separate SKU, the seller still has complete pricing freedom everywhere else.

Including known brands such as dermatologica skin cream etc. - just so much fraud with Amazon it's my shop of last resort.

There are some really good studies showing this. Dr. Walter Longo has been doing a study at USC for breast cancer patients. While his protocol is based on fasting, he believes a big reason for its success is the lower glucose.

Reddit makes a ton off these deals.

Does hacker news sell data?

You actually do. Getting a dog or having nephews isn't close to the same thing.

It's kind of like balance. You can read all about balance in a book and watch YouTube videos but until you get on a bicycle and experience it you'll never really "get" balance.

You can't imagine until you experience it. It's as simple as that.

This is only partially true. We depressingly agreed to get my daughter a phone for her 8th birthday.

She's the last person in her class to have one. That means when we drop her off at a birthday, she's the one playing with a fake phone while all the other kids have real ones. She's the one at the end of the school day begging to use her friend's phone.

Social pressure matters and making your kid the odd one out sucks.

Obviously we will put strict limits on it but I honestly felt like I was stuck with two awful choices.

That can be said about any decision. You can't go back in time. So every decision is permanent.

I understand that kids carry a long responsibility above just memories though.

I've thought about this and while I agree with you completely, I think the reason why is not just society at large. Externally what most people see is the time suck, money suck, and frustration with teaching behavior, fixing bad behavior etc.

What's so easy to miss is the immense feeling of love, of being needed, of being loved, that words can't describe. I frequently tell people I feel like the grinch after he discovers Xmas - my heart is three times bigger. But you can't really see that it's just a feeling I carry with me.

I wouldn't call it team building. I just think of it as a reminder that we are all friends that we all have families and struggles. We're all human and doing our best.

It's at a casino because it's near our facility, has conference rooms, event spaces, entertainment, and the weather doesn't matter.

Sometimes some people sit at a table and play while hanging out and that's fine. But it's not really about drinking or gambling. Just having a little fun together and getting to know each other and our +1s on a more personal level.

We have one annually for my company. It's at a casino, with a few scheduled meals and some activities (video game room, trivia done by a professional company).

It's voluntary and employees are allowed to bring their spouse. I think it helps a lot with communication, especially since we are a distributed team and most peoplr don't see each other.

But it's hard for me to know for sure, no one tells the owners the truth. It is voluntary and almost everyone attends. I think most people think of it as a free vacation.

In the US, Zelle payments are accepted by most major banks and are free and instant. I'm not sure how it could be better than that.

It would be nice if more smaller banks used it as well, but the US has 5k different banks.
