I'm not sure what the solution would be for alcoholics who need to stay sober. But for others who don't like alcohol, but still like drinking something with a similar taste while chatting with people who do drink, nonalcoholic be

"Great fighters have to kind of like getting hit." Unrelated, but I suppose this is why there is so much controversy and disagreement as to whether Floyd Mayweather actually is the greatest boxer ever (which he himself has claimed

If you want to look at it that way, I think it's unfair to not consider the startup costs of operating a taxi. A medallion in New York is no longer over a million dollars, but it's still pretty expensive. https://nypo

I know the new Microsoft seems different (and I'm a fan), but I can't help but feel like we've seen this movie before. Recall back when Internet Explorer was free and bundled with Windows, and there was a whole antitrust laws

Americans can't declare themselves as non-residents that don't need to pay tax? Canadians who work abroad can do that. And then if they ever move back home, they just have to declare residency again. It's a bit of a proces

The important question is not whether the spending is high. The important question is whether the spending is effective.

Very true, but once you make the decision, all those other things are multipliers. Just unfortunately, if you make the negative decision, well the negative still multiplies too.... hence the divorces and all the drama at work.... If you to

I think you're both right. By listening and trusting your child, you'll be able to successfully and properly debug. That's what happened in the blog post.

To be fair, I think extremely ignorant people who don't follow any updates about scientific and technological progress probably still think that China is a science backwater. But their opinions don't really matter because they do

Don't think white rice is necessarily high fibre. I think a better option to make the point is that by this metric we should all eat celery? :)

I can get that, but if true, the fact that this joke is considered funny and acceptable makes parent's point about the imagery bombardment and how culturally ingrained drinking is: >> It’s actually crazy how lightly we treat thi

The unfortunate thing is how much people actually buy into it. I remember once in university, I was at a national entrepreneurship conference for student entrepreneurs. One night, there was a party at a club type of venue. I was sitting

As a person of Christian faith willing to share my faith, I'm not sure I "target" vulnerable people. I don't discriminate for who receives my sharing. I'm spoiled to live in a society and social circle that doesn&

Yes, but those are all forks. I was answering the question only, nothing more. If Oracle took on Linux (whatever that would mean), I have no doubt another fork would start as well. edit: and this is a really contrived subject and example

If I could bet on this, I'd actually bet on Oracle taking the torch. Not because I think that's a good idea, just rather it'd unfortunately continue the trend (OpenOffice, MySQL, Java, etc) and everyone would bet against it,

The organization doesn't normally fire people and these people had been working there for over a decade, some near 2 decades. Whatever hiring heuristics existed, I'd have to ask several generations of managers and directors prior

Having seen plenty of grown women using two hands to type on an iPhone 4s when those things were popular, I'd say we need accurate population data to truly confirm.

How would that be enforced though? Forced abortions at any hospital because their IDs are on a national blacklist? What if they could just give at birth at home? And going overseas to give birth would obviously rear its head as an option

Funny aside: I've seen a lot of anecdotes on HN and from friends that having a smartwatch negates the need for your phone to be out all the time . New technologies create new problems that create new technological solutions all the t

Well, first, it'd probably be a phone-primary payment world, not a phone-only payment world. The traditional bank infrastructure would probably still exist. But even if not, and it was truly a phone-only payment world, I can't be

I have seen this pattern multiple times in various people, most recently in people who work under me. In those cases, I am not confident that I can suggest that people seek help. Marriages are (hopefully) different in that they are built

Well, to be pedantic, they do have Visa and Mastercard credit cards. Otherwise, it'd be really hard for their citizens to experience the world as tourists. But due to capital outflow restrictions, these credit cards are a bit limited
