Nit: it's "Modular"


> We are all on the autistic spectrum

I hope you're not being serious here because this is patently false and diminishes the experience of those who are actually on the spectrum.

If you do not match the criteria in the DSM, then no, you are not on the spectrum.


My understanding of the DSM (which I have not read) spectrums was that it included all peoples, with one end containing most individuals who have little to no symptoms indicative of a disorder and as we move further down the other end of the spectrum the number and intensity of symptoms increase.

Is my understanding incorrect here (genuine good faith question)?


HN doesn't take too kindly to jokes.


My experience is that 0 effort reddit style memeing is downvoted, while sarcasm and jokes are rewarded as long at least a minimum effort is shown.

I think that most people (me included) just didn't get the joke.


It's the market. Tesla is way overpriced. Now that the market is contacting, money is moving to value instead of speculation.


This is gonna be bad for crypto


It already is.

Even a fractional reserve exchange that’s “doing ok” (whatever that means when you play with other people’s money) is still gonna buckle under the weight of a run.


Been there, done that. However, the worst position to find yourself in is partial traction. A few customers, giving you that slight bit of hope to keep grinding. Then after 5 our more years, you've made 20K and are stone motherless broke. Or maybe that's just me. Chin Up dude.


So true brother. Partial traction is the worst.

If you enter business, either go big or go home.


There are bound to be wild psychoactive mushrooms near you. Do some research and then do some bushwalking (or hiking if you prefer). Mushroom hunting is cathartic.

never taken mushrooms but been mushroom foraging for food purposes and well, it has to be said: be very, very careful with this stuff. Pick the wrong mushroom and it can and will kill you, and it may be very, very difficult to distinguish the right one and the wrong one. Do things like spore prints, and read books carefully with every specimen.

Don't want folks getting hurt


I can strongly recommend Alan Rockefeller's fantastic talks on psilocybin mushroom identification: [1] [2]

This is a good way to maim or kill yourself.


I'm relieved you got out of the kidnapping business.


The work life balance really isn't the best. It's pretty lonely, and any friends you do make always are short lived.


At least, valuation-wise, I agree. We've been on a ridiculous, risk-on market rally for a decade and a half, fuelled by incredibly cheap money and plenty of discretionary excess, and tech stocks have been the vehicle for speculative trading. My money is on energy and associated mining sectors outperforming in the next market cycle. I think we're about to see the return of Peter Lynch style investing after the washout of excess from tech.


I do not disagree, but I do think there is still room for growth with established tech such as semiconductors and maybe cloud. There's so many thing still "old school" in this world and I see tech advancing more and more into those sectors. But I'm guessing it will be a very saw-tooth pattern for the next few years.

What I am avoiding like the plague are companies that have no profits, no dividends and no real innovation. Any company that is still aiming for growth before profits is just scary.


Wasn't Yoshi from Tekken?


Oh, looks like he is in both games! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshimitsu


He was but is an early crossover character. You almost have to wonder if he was designed for it from the get go.
