AAR (Air to Air Refueling) isn't really necessary for the civilian market, but is extremely important for the military. Most people don't realize, but the range of a fighter jet is very small. The F-15 gets about 1500 miles of ran

What's with all the survivorship bias in these responses? For every person you know that's made money in an MLM, that mathematically means there were 1,000 people AT MINIMUM below them who were scammed somewhere around $300 to usu

All MLMs are scams. I hate using the term pyramid schemes, because if you use that term all of the MLM apologists will start cranking out very long-winded philosophical definitions of pyramid schemes that obscure the true point. The MLM &qu

Kyle Simpson and the "You Don't Know JS" series. Can't speak highly enough about them. Also he has a good recent book on Functional Programming, which if you plan on tackling Redux later will be helpful. I got the physic

In Cairo this is a very big issue. I have heard something like it raising the outside temperature by 15 degrees in the city proper. Those are likely going to be older air conditioners not following the latest standards though, and I don&#x2

Two I am familiar with are OpenERP and OpenEMR. OpenERP, now Odoo, is written in Python. OpenEMR is written in PHP. It dates from a while ago, but has been mostly updated to the latest PSR standards. Might also try OrangeHCM, but not sure w

Also "Professional Javascript for Web Developers" by Zakas is a pretty classic text too. Gives you a ton of background on Javascript, not as much as Simpson though (but the alternate perspectives are useful). Where this book reall

Kyle Simpson's books. His books transformed my understanding of Javascript. He basically bursted into the chest of Javascript, grabbed its beating heart, and then pulled it out and showed me (just like in "Indiana Jones and the Te

This is great, thanks for building. Leaving for work but really deeply truly can't wait to play around with this tonight.

Look at the book "How Not To Die" by Dr. Michael Greger. His two big things were cruciferous vegetables, so mainly brocolli, and the Indian spice turmeric. He hammered away at the importance of these two items across 500+ pages.

Print at home from a laser printer with generic toner...or even better toner that you fill up yourself. 150 pages of binding at a Office Depot is $6 max if you already have the pages.

Well written post, especially the first paragraph. Thanks for using the term "nouveau riche". Don't know why, I haven't heard it since college, but made me laugh.

John Cabot, an ambassador in the 1950s, had a good quote: "The UN is meant to prevent you from going to hell, not take you to heaven." The IMF and the World Bank were part of the world superstructure set up alongside the UN, so th

This is a really interesting point about YC. I've heard before that in markets some companies need to fail, their talent and assets act as "fertilizer" for helping the other companies grow.

There is already a service that does this that I pay $5 a month for. Optimist Daily...I believe it's run out of the Netherlands.

I believe if you create a "group" and then add your entire friends list to it (this involves lots of clicking btw, take a few letters of the alphabet per day) you can accomplish this if you really want. FWIW I would like that opti

"Mathematics: From the Birth of Numbers". If you've ever read "Code" by Charles Petzold, it's as illuminating as that was. Also a little bit tragic, makes you realize there is a lot of fun and beauty and even s

I believe the video game "Dynasty Warriors" and the 19 sequels or whatever it spawned are based on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

I work for the OpenEMR project which has a strong commitment to User Experience and design. The last release 5.0.0 implemented Bootstrap 3, but we are trying even more design enhancements for the next minor release. A good quote from the bo

If you are using the Surface, Edge is pretty great. Especially on the lower end models that have less resources / RAM.

I really like Gitlab. It allows you to organize your repos, and do things like nesting them in categories. Why Github won't add this feature is beyond my understanding, and I really appreciate Gitlab stepping up and adding this into th

The overly simple answer is Romans-->Byzantines-->Ottomans. Rome is at one point divided into two empires, West and East. West Empire collapse, but East Empire keeps going with its capital at Constantinople. East Empire becomes the B

As an interesting aside, Ottoman tradition forbade shedding the blood of kin, so the usual route was strangulation of the emperor if he was a relative.

Very much love this idea. I think a great example of where this could be useful (sorry if someone already said this) is that it makes it incredibly easy to do the initial moving. A lot of times after moving you just don't have the stam

This reminds me of a comment from the book "Postwar: a History of Europe between 1945 to 1989". Many oppressive governments that sprang up were initially supported by the learned classes. The quote is as follows: "Totalitaria

I've been there twice and never seen anything like the Cat there. Also if it works and turns on, you can also try the "Living Computer Museum" in Seattle, sponsored by Paul Allen. I don't know their policy, maybe they wi
