They provider may not even be allowed to tell you due to contracts with insurance companies. This kind of thing is outright criminal. We need transparent pricing regulation!

I despise Safari. If they just used Chromium, instead waiting years to merge in the improvements, my job would be so much less frustrating. I have OSX in a VM just for Safari issues.

Both Hulu and Netflix block Ubuntu, so this sucks for people like me who use Linux as their primary media OS. Hopefully this doesn't catch on or we have to find another way to spoof these sites.

I just stayed at a Hilton because my house was renting on Airbnb. Hotels suck for large groups of people. A home is much better. I was wondering why the short-term rental law in my town is so absurd. The hotel industry probably helped write

I have a wife and kids, so its nice to visit with them on my breaks if they are around. This is a key difference if you don't have kids yet. I am rarely lonely, even if I never leave my house.

Well of course, its safe there! In the US we don't have the bike path system yet. Riding a bike in a US city is insanely dangerous.

The best thing about working from home is no one knows/cares where you are working from. If you sick of your home office, go somewhere else! I have spent the last two summers working remotely from Europe. My favorite office was a hous

Meetups are awesome. I highly recommend board game meetups! There are lots programming related meetups as well.

I have disabled certain sites in my windows hosts file. It helps as it is a hassle to find it and edit it again. When I actually do visit Facebook, I use a private window. That way I won't forget to log out.

I used to farm fish too, and they are simple enough that I am okay with eating them. The level of intelligence I will eat, between chicken and fish, is totally arbitrary. I think this is true for anyone who is not actually vegetarian. The n

Personally, I draw an arbitrary line between fish and chicken intelligence. This is true for most people except that pigs are smarter than dogs and many people won't eat dog meat. Relative intelligence is difficult to measure. Would I

Open-ocean fish farming will have a dramatic impact on food production, once we get some technical challenges out of the way (storms mostly). The biggest problem is that its inefficient to feed meat animals grain. Instead we should be farmi

After raising my own egg chickens and butchering some of them, my perspective really changed. Chickens are surprisingly smart. After we left our hobby farm I decided to not eat anything smarter than a fish. (I don't eat octopus) I lik

Same thing happened to me. The funny thing is that the Samsung website sends you an Amazon seller. I noticed this the second time I needed a battery. The batteries look identical. The only difference was that the counterfeit battery only la

Without transparent pricing, its not a free-market solution but an elaborate life-or-death scam. Obamacare doesn't even try to fix the root problems because lobbying/corruption prevents any real solutions from happening.

A nice reminder how self-employed people got screwed over by Obamacare, and no seems to care. It is the "little yellow box" in the first graphic. Also, no mention of the real reason none of this really works. There is no attempt a
