Entirely off-topic, but that thread title sounds like the best metal album ever.

The counter to that is that I understand what services and goods are essential to me better than the government does (or anyone that isn't me, for that matter). If the goal is to do the most good with the least waste, basic income is p

1.)Not necessarily, and 2.) is "amount of work required" the critera a pursuit must meet to be valid?

Espresso as a Service? I like it.

It's being used in a tounge-in-cheek manner here.

This is fascinating. What do deaf people normally do in lieu of alarm clocks?

I have only ever heard basic income proposed as the former implementation, never the latter.

This is a hugely important difference.

Ah, but then when will you show users ads, or prompt them to buy 20 gems?

I live in a fairly low-cost area(a mid-sized town in the coastal southeast). $10/hr would be a stretch.

I'm of a similar opinion. My 'work' playlist is almost exclusively trance music and black metal. Both are repetitive and don't demand your attention, great for concentration.

I've only seen 1 legitimate use for a Keurig machine. My company's office used to be on the 9th floor of a very old building (built in 1914). The plumbing is subpar and our office had no sink, despite being otherwise very nice. Ha

I'm a web developer. Occasionally I'll get a client who can't be talked out of video/audio that autoplays. I think I understand that feeling.

That's hardly a 1-to-1 comparison. For starters there are a number of large, legitimate businesses that make their money selling MtG cards on the secondary market. Secondly, didn't the folks at mtgox just use the domain name becau

>By the time you're 20, you should already be an independent adult. Is this really a fair expectation? Your mind hasn't really fully matured until your early or mid 20s (25 is the most oft-cited age if I recall). I'd say t

I got the same feeling, but it also evokes the feeling and look of a physical newspaper. I like it. It's much better than some other news sites.

Are you kidding? There are more high-quality games in all sorts of genres getting made now than there ever have been, especially in 1993. Your post sounds an awful lot like "they stopped making good music back in [year I graduated hig

I agree with most of your post, but I disagree with the salute-the-troops attitude. Were the parent from any profession other than the military, no one would take any issue with downvoting his tirade. If you really want to 'support the

I saw this a few weeks ago, very cool project you're working on. I love the proto-web feeling it has. All the best!

The idea of being 'settled for' upsets me greatly.

It might also be the case that the gender you identify as isn't what's most important, but the gender that 'normal' society perceives you as.

I think this is a very important point. I know a woman who is around 40, attractive, successful, intelligent. Her fiance is a 28 year old man. He's attractive as well, but hes obviously less intelligent than her. As far as I can tell,

"Drawing a random squiggle" and assigning it a meaning is exactly how symbols work. Stopping your car at intersections has exactly nothing to do with red octagons inherently, its just a symbol that we've assigned a meaning to

I don't think anyone's suggesting we legalize weed and give people immunity from prosecution for driving high.

Agreed. It's a great story, but the premise is a little disingenuous.

Much too easy as a metal-head as well. My only gripe is that there are a lot of bands in there that aren't death-metal. Every kind of extreme music isn't death-metal people!

I don't know the answer to this either, but I've seen this kind of compartmentalization in lots of very smart folks. I know a guy who's a brilliant optics engineer and has had success both in business and academia. He's

She's certainly publicized her project well, but so do lots of people. I think the attention that she's garnered from this is mostly because what she's done is really cool and shows incredible initiative and dedication.
