This sends a horrible message to young people that are already over-entitled (I mean really, tweeting like that??). Young people learn from this: You should be offensive, insulting, and disrespectful. Then when it blows up on you, reach o

> Take it as an opportunity, dealing with legacy is a challenge but you can grow a lot as a developer! I agree, but it's fraught with risk, and could also turn into an opportunity to spend several months or even years being misera

I experimented extensively with sativas, indicas, and all sorts of hybrids. I never ever got a euphoria. Indicas (and sativas in sufficient quantity) would give me couch lock, and clouded my mind to where I couldn't code. It never

Really fresh flower (from my grow tent, all perfectly legal in Alaska) was that aromatic. It's also so sticky that it can get on your fingers and other things, and you are actually smelling that and not the flower in the bag.

It's always interesting to hear about people that can scale the alcohol back. I can't do it. I can (usually) get through work sober, but the second I get home I'm grabbing a beer, or downing a shot. The only thing that work

Fairness actually is the point sometimes. Obama talked about raising capital gains tax, even if it results in lower money for the government, simply for reasons of fairness [1][2]. [1] https://abcnews.go.com/Politics&#x2F

It would be hate speech if s/Men/Women, but as it stands the one class that you can hate all you want is white men, and it's never a problem.

Yes, much agreed. Would you mind linking me to the original thread (if you still have a link handy)? I'd love to participate in the discussion. Edit: found it :-) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17286689

I'm probably one of those "wacko nut-jobs out there" that you refer to, so you may just want to dismiss my point outright with ad hominem. However, I don't think any of us wacko nut-jobs would care about fed coin, as l

There's nothing sketchy about it if you buy a phone that is unlocked or unlockable. If you get a Samsung from Verizon, then yeah you're gonna have a hard time.

If you could still use your gingerbread phone, you might be amazed how far it's come. I found an old Galaxy phone with 2.3 on it, and it was incredible how differently I remembered it. It was slow and clunky, and ugly by today's s

I think this is the first time I've heard advocated that a government should be in the business of chip design. We're a long way from the days of John Locke and enlightenment liberalism.

It amazes me how entitled people can be. We are living well right now for sure, but if/when things change, we will need to adapt just like the truck drivers will have to after Tesla's self-driving semis put them all out of work (

That's interesting. It's never felt gamey to me, but maybe because it's domesticated and farmed.

Yeah I suppose that's true for me as well. I had heard that the officers were pissed and basically threatened to execute in the field any men caught doing that, but I didn't know that it had effectively worked at eliminating thes
