Everyone, literally, is looking for different things. Most ppl try to extrapolate from their personal preference to the whole population, and think their place is somehow unique, but that’s wrong. And, barring extreme inbalances in gender ratio, most people eventually find their match.

Does this mean that womens aspirations are wildly different than men in SV? How do they manage to be significantly more interesting than men? What do they do to become ‘crotch magnets’?

There s enough cynicism in this topic for the whole year. No matter how you spin it, slacking and wasting your talent is neither healthy nor good. Sure, it's hard to admit it when your salary depends on it, but it seems the megacorp's tactic of outpaying everyone is working, because they don't seem to be facing any new competitors anymore. they got a big golden cage

being poor is bad, but being cushy is demotivating. “Experimental, innovative stuff” requires a certain level of hunger, or disregard for money. In both cases this person should seek elsewhere.

It is either a story or a theory. Telling a story without naming the characters ranges from cumbersome to infuriating. Telling a theory, is another story

Story would be much more readable if he had actually stated the offending Scissor and cut it short by half.

he mentioned that they were crypto ads. Most crypto related companies are not scams, yet fb and google and reddit ban them to appease government officials. Frankly , with fb & google having monopolised the space its not surprising that brave is picking up their leftovers. There are not many ways to solve this chicken and egg problem

- do you plan to have a simple password instead of email link?

- are there any brave banners i can use to promote brave?

- will u provide a command line tool to verify websites?

- why are referrals tied to channels instead of account?

- will you expand to micropayments?

- will brave always block ads everywhere or will you switch to blocking only on verified sites?

Some form if instant payment is sorely needed. I hope regulators can catch up with reality , or else maybe brave should move to another country

( it s also comical to witness the hostility of HN towards brave. Are we full of google shills here? )

> VR will be exercise. Could be VR gyms

It s an interesting idea but about the worst situation i can think of. Not only will i be sweating, i 'll be vigorously moving , exacerbating any vestibular reflexes, shifting the headset on my head, and risking getting injured. I think anything that requires too much physical interaction is a bad candidate for VR. My idea of VR is that it amplifies any minute movement of my fingers magically. That feels empowering

> don't believe Google has a moral obligation to send traffic

Bizzare. The only reason google gets traffic is because of those sites. Your comparison is also off, google is not another book (they dont create content), it's the librarian telling people which book to borrow.

When i go to google news, there are no snippets, just titles linking to newspapers

Napster also made users happy. And bittorrent. And libgen. Why the double standard?

> nosnippet

TIL. That's actually a good idea. Does that eliminate all kinds of snippets? NOARCHIVE may also be of use.

in that case the news sites did get the click, but they wanted more

So it's a case where the webmasters get greedy, and google steals their food, and everyone cheers for google. I 'm starting to think we need search engines to go back to their beginnings, when they were crawling the web , not creating or replacing the web. If they are only pointing to the websites, but rank them by speed, then webmasters would compete who will answer the question faster.
