Or you can live up to the challenge posed by American women. If you can manage that, Brazilian and Columbian women will also be interested, so you'll get to pick.

It's a bit oversimplified, but thinking of there being four areas helps for me. Physical, mental, financial, and emotional/relational. "Nerds" tend to do fine in the financial and mental areas, but they are generally lacking in the physical

You do realize that the reason men no longer do those things is precisely because women changed their role first? That said, you have a point. Outside of child-bearing (and even there...) marriage seems less and less useful. I don't see thi

More shaming... that's what overweight people need! See: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/02/11/hello-i...

I had around 60, but was only able to effectively make use of 30 or so... maybe not even that. Extra "credits" don't really help when your major is already heavy on required courses.

I can probably help with the Google tour. Send me an email if you're interested.

At least in my case, there is such a thing as going to bed when you are too tired. Some days if I miss my sleep window, I get "too tired to sleep." That probably doesn't make much sense as described, but I know at least some people can rela

Exactly. I don't suffer from chronic insomnia, but I occasionally go through bouts of difficulty sleeping, and my experience is exactly like you describe. I am completely exhausted, my brain "hurts" (by which I mean any form of input, wheth

People on HN say all the time, "Just because it isn't for you, doesn't mean there isn't an audience." For example, see the defending comments on the Ze Frank post today. Many of the apps Marco writes off as "crap" could easily fall into thi

Right but this is always a problem running on someone else's platform. To fix it you have to host everything yourself all the way down to the utilities level, where regulations don't really allow them to play favorites.

If this is so, why are there so many startups started by ex-Googlers?

How is Readability a solution for getting them on all on a single page? I tried using it with no success.

Tautology? You've just defined a successful site as one that used PR and faffery to succeed (even if we can't see it), making it impossible to argue otherwise.

At least the book recommendations are fairly good, if not the discount.

I can see that to a degree, though I think some video games (especially indie ones) could be inspiring as well. But I appreciate that we all have our chosen muses.

by Psyonic 16y ago
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how not playing video games or watching TV is a creative constraint. I can see it helping with time management, but I don't see how it directly helps you improvise. Also, TV is in a golden age ri

That only makes it hard if you're buying a phone by name. The answer is always, "Whichever one is in the store," which is what most people will buy anyway.

Thanks Ryan. By the way, I'm happy to see you're on HN. I'm a fan of your writing.

Any hint on the topic?

What about Phil Jackson? You're probably better at basketball than he is.

Perhaps not, but it's not unheard of. "Smart" bargainers sometimes resort to tactics like that, because they figure since you've already come this far to meet them, you'll lower your price just to get the deal over with. Which I generally w

by Psyonic 16y ago
That's fine, because you've made your intentions clear. In that case, if I'm not willing to budge, I'll let you know that, and we can avoid a meeting. I've had people do it exactly as I described, and it's an infuriating waste of time for m
234.
by Psyonic 16y ago
Right... but if you agree to the price over the phone, don't negotiate in person. It's a dick move. If I'm selling my TV for $250, you agree to that, I drive to meet you and you low-ball me for $200, I hate you. It's that simple.

We don't have time clocks here, so no.

That isn't exactly true. Part of the reason I went ahead and bought minecraft the other day was because buying it in alpha gives all updates (and expansions!?) for free.

I'd imagine most people aren't in the mood to hear your life story while stuck out in the cold at 3 AM waiting to get inside.
