I think more companies need to allow more flexibility when it comes to hours in the office. This is actually a pretty interesting topic to me. From reading about programmers routines and how long one can code, I believe most people are full

Because I don't have time to search for new music, go buy albums, back it up, buy storage etc. Spotify is great. I can listen to charts/viral music from different countries. I can usually find music from other countries as well if

Black lights used in clubs generally don't have enough power to cause eye damage or sun burn, therefore, I would not be too concerned. Lights used in something like a tanning bed, can obviously burn your skin and also damage your eyes

I used to ride on the crypto hype train. Made quite a bit of money from btc. However, it is too risky of an investment. Most people that push crypto sound like pyramid scheme people. At a party dude was telling everyone to invest in btc bec

How do US consumers gain from tarifs? My company is US based with some manufacturing done in the US, some in China and some in EU. We are constantly dealing with price changes due to tarifs, and consumers are going to get hit hard once the

You are wrong. Homes are not the cheapest in the human history. As we are close to the 2007 housing bubble home prices. Here's a source with home price to income ratio. http://www.longtermtrends.net/home-price-median-a

The huge lawsuit risk is mostly bs. I investigated suing a doctor due to a medical error. Unless it cripples you for life or kills you no regular person would be able to win a malpractice lawsuit. It is insanely expensive. Another medical p

I'm 31, my company also contracts a dev that is almost 60. He knows much more than me about architecture, old systems that we still use, I would not want to do his work. I work on the newer stuff. As I get older I plan to shift to a di

Making a prediction and writing about events that have occurred is two different things. Goldman Sachs predicted World Cup winners and were wrong.

Speaking of GPUs. I bought a ATI card for $600 during a mining craze. I had issues with blue screens, and they took it back 6 months after purchase and refunded me full price, even though it was selling for $370 at the time. Pretty good cus

I feel as I would hate to work there. They are creating all these things to make it a 2nd home for people. They want people to be there a LONG time. I'm happy with 40hrs with some days remote and I don't think I could switch to go

I think when you refer to going to stores in the "old days" and finding new and exciting stuff basically means things were new for you at the time. The more you learn about world and the older you get things begin to excite you le

This is an interesting point as I known a guy that made over $300k working at a bank. They lived in one of the nicest suburbs of Chicago, and were living paycheck to paycheck. They had a chef at home, wife didn't work and so on. He end

They are definitely a symptom of a much bigger problem, but I don't see how there can be any improvements in the current state of US politics. We have skyrocketing medical cost, high student debt, we are constantly seeing a pro busines

I have watched an interesting documentary on Scott Tucker that is currently serving time in prison for collecting $1.3 billion in illegal interest payments as some people paid a total of almost $1,000 to settle a $300 loan. He was an owner

I keep telling myself I will refactor....but I rarely feel like it because I would rather work on a new exciting project. In the end, I still learn a lot, and I usually will refactor when a bug is discovered.

I think this is pretty spot on. I recently visited Poland where i was born and raised for 14 years of my life. I know many people who came to US for work but have left. They earned more but spent more and did not feel good about their shitt

I don't have a problem with ISPs. They are doing what is legal, and it makes logical sense. Spend $xx on lobbying save $xxx. The problem is much bigger than ISPs in my opinion. There is anti-intellectual movement in the US right now. U

They aren't only lying about not making enough money. They are "lobbying" to keep up this charade. Many European nations have much cheaper and faster access to the internet with many more ISPs. I don't see a logical reas
