I got up to 5th degree black belt, had my own school. Total imposter syndrome, all. the. time. One out of a million people that start learning martial arts will reach that level. Your average person would come in off the street and are whit

Wall of text, sorry. . As a whole, the USA is awash in cash. If millions and millions of people lose their homes, it will be a boondoggle for large REITS (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and other companies investing in real estate. In 2008,

I have reviewed and read on this topic for a long time. It is extremely unrealistic to operate your own self-hosted emails. There are all kinds of problems with this direction. One is that it is very difficult to even find an app to do this

I have used tutanota, which is a competitor of protonmail. Not one problem. I don't use Google mail or Yahoo mail or any of those because they scan your emails all the time and sell the info in a heartbeat. What would you think if the

I use tutanota, similar to protonmail except way cheaper. I always go with the fact that I'm not using it to block the government. I'm using it instead of Google or Yahoo, that scan every bit of every email. I guard myself against

um...no on the USB flash drives. These days, hackers stays in a computer system for 5 or 6 months before making their move. So they can destroy your backups and put their virus on USB flash drives, and you won't know until that day com

Everyone is noting that fire is good for California forests. Which is correct. Some trees actually depend on it, and seeds in the ground will wait for a fire before sprouting - I don't know, a temperature change makes it happen, not su

They made no money on it? Then raise the price to $105 or $129 or whatever is needed to make it profitable. But what I want to know is: what kind of bleeding idiot is going to spend $72 or $105, or $129 on f-cking dinner? Like lottery peopl

I don't understand this. Delayed how? Does this mean if you are watching a video, and the person is talking, that a delay of milliseconds between the person's lips moving and when you hear it? But what does that have to do with ca

Right. I always make sure to write them all down, as I won't remember either. But they are to make sure that random hackers don't gain access. Nobody is really going to break into my office and steal my passwords, as I am not an i

From my understanding, the only real way to create a password is to make it really, really long. Like, "Sometimes 10 people will get together on Friday night. Wow!" Or whatever you want. Makes it easy to remember. Personally I ju

I agree with randomhodler84. Get rid of your phone. However, there might be singular reasons to have one. For example, Stripe will only allow you to be a client if you have a mobile phone, and I have run into this with other companies as

COBOL is an extremely easy language to learn. Companies needing COBOL programmers find it easier to train up someone in COBOL, rather than finding a pre-existing COBOL programmer. I learned COBOL in a month. The only reason a company can&#x

“If Elizabeth is convicted and the case goes to the judge for sentencing, if he sends her to prison for a long time he’d be depriving the child of his or her mother for many years,” Carreyrou said. “And that’s a heavy decision to make.” Yet

This drives me up the wall. I have tried to conduct business with companies many times, but they require that I have a mobile phone - Looking at you, Stripe, as well as other companies doing the same that I've had problems with. I do

oooooo.....the scary "privilege" claim. I guess that is used as the general end-all word. I guess because you used the word "privilege", that's the end of the discussion.

well, dinosaurs didn't create oil, that's just silly. It was all the plant life. However, aside for that aside, that's not the actual culprit. The real culprit is the Big Bang. Or as Carl Sagan put it: "If you wish to

Right, thanks for the info. I just read up on prison work. From what I read, it seems like it varies a lot from prison to prison and state to state on the actual number of hours worked per day. Some say an hour or two a day, and some said t

I see both sides on this. An insane amount of crime is caused by the same people, over and over and over. In fact, 1% of the population is responsible for 63% of all violent crimes. They commit crimes over and over and over. So part of me i

There are some great rationales from people here who hire, and gave me a different viewpoint, so I appreciate why companies do that. They do so because of economic reasons - people stop becoming productive after a year, as Kranar notes, or

I'd be interested, too. I once read in some article that CPUs have the same power consumption as equivalent output of a nuclear reactor, based on size, of course. So the 1 inch of a CPU takes as much energy as 1 inch of a nuclear fusio

This article is BS. As others have noted, it is a straw man argument. Everyone uses spreadsheets, including developers. I use them. I'm not going to spend 50 hours coding when I can create a spreadsheet in 5 minutes. Of course, the iss
