Does Softbank have more than ~$10bn to lose here, or is that it? Are there any extra liabilities they've underwritten?

I loved the article, but even if it were valued at $0, would that decimate and "shutter" the Vision Fund?

This is positively shiver-inducing.

Right, hold the most clandestine organizations in the world to the same standards as petty theft. Do we really expect the NSA to be trailing HN in knowledge on zero-day vulnerabilities?

I dislike that we can't downvote.

Your parent is likely referring to downvoting on submissions as opposed to comments. Submissions can only be upvoted or flagged, not downvoted.

That's it people! They've cured spam. We can all go home... right?

Not all pilots have the choice.

I've been doing this too. I'm also doing this with NYT, WSJ, FT -- all publications behind higher and higher paywalls, all publications I tried, but ended up leaving because they still serve you ads on their mobile apps.

Now the question is this: if I didn't care or it wasn't worth reading, why did I click on it in the first place?

Perhaps I don't care about this content as much as I thought anymore. Maybe we've been addicted to reading content, rather than actually making use of most of the content anyway.

PS: I'm trying out The Guardian now. No ads for premium users on mobile.

I do this too. Hate paywalls. But not against the idea of paying. The problem is, it’s too fractured. It feels like if I had to pay for each channel on cable TV, it adds up to way too much when you think about the wide scope of sites I could stumble upon on any given month. And like TV, I’m not really a reader of any news site, I’m a reader of interesting pieces of content that surfaces through places like HN/reddit. Then, you also have the fact that usually the title was enough info I realize I don’t even really need to read the text.

2017.

People who work hourly are in the same boat and come to work sick.

I love it.

But, the first thing I clicked was the transparency report.

> We publish ... with a delay of 6 weeks ...

But the last report is from October 2018.

Otherwise great stuff, truly inspirational.

One of the Devs at Ecosia here. The more up-to-date reports are at our blog: https://blog.ecosia.org/tag/financial-reports/

For whatever reason the last two transparency reports were only published in their blog. This is the most recent one: https://blog.ecosia.org/december-ecosia-financial-report/

I should not have expected it to be with all the other financial reports. Totally my bad. Thank you!

I wish they finally could so I could stop being held hostage through multiple rounds of visual recognition tests -- how long is it going to take me to prove I'm human when I'm senile?
