Great, now in addition to people who eat fast food, apply make up, play sing-along, tend to their children, talk on the phone, text message, and nod off in the car, we have to deal with people BLOGGING in their cars? It's gotten to the poin

Be honest - how many of you that live in 'free' societies have, in the past, looked down on people who live in less free societies? Or perhaps thought it was some kind of intrinsic quality of culture / race that some people live in less fr

How typically Euro-centric.

For the comedy impaired, riding the 'bull' in this case is a double entendre.

> what is going to happen to that? I don't believe this was ever true. A huge amount of mainly white middle class people were able to own a small home and vehicles in the past, but it certainly wasn't true of the "average person", un

So is it possible that life is just being flung from planet to planet through impact debris, over the course of billions of years?

Half the people in silicon valley are stoned nearly every night. Including all the ones that work at Google, FB, Twitter, whatever. Trust me, I've known a lot of pot heads too. Whoever you are, stay the hell out of California please.

You're thinking about 10 steps ahead of this guy. He's just confused about the 'reset' vector being hit even when the computer is NOT explicitly reset, just when it's turned on for the first time, or powered on after being off.

by carguy1983 15y ago
From wikipedia: That is to say, the reset vector is a pointer or address where the CPU should always begin as soon as it is able to execute instructions. In other words, people who have lots of experience in this stuff gloss over the fact

Sounds like you live near the red or gold lines, I used to take those to work every day when I worked in Old Town Pasadena and lived in Hollywood (two very walkable areas also). You're highlighting something a lot of people don't understand

You aren't thinking this through. A doctor with a successful career is basically one or two steps away from extremely high levels of success/achievement. Think of medical device patents, positions of power on medical associations, universi

I'm a big fan of keeping a firm, dry grip on reality while chasing after my entrepreneurial dreams. I'm an entrepreneur with a business that is profitable, and with quite large ambitions, and all of that - I know EXACTLY how difficult it is

The vast majority of college friendships are formed in the first two years, ages 18 and 19, possibly 20.

Your cousin is a successful MD in the SF Bay area with a family, what planet do you live on where this is considered non-high-achieving/non-ambitious? He's basically at the apex of society's status pyramid, that's why he doesn't give a fuck

In my view early in life and later in life, it's possible. During prime match making years, 20-30, you've got to be kidding. The only exception I can think of is people who were family friends from very early childhood that behave more lik

The train station in downtown LA is called Union Station, the one in NY is Grand Central. Also, they are extending the lines that feed into Union slowly but surely. Pasadena already has good coverage, Hollywood coverage is decent, Santa Mo

I find it fascinating that white people are finally getting upset at racism directed towards them.

by carguy1983 15y ago
Yeah, I guess I'm racist. I want diversity in my populations, applied to every context possible. Full stop. "I'm sorry you're offended."

My personal theory on this is that spanish speakers have been in California longer than English speakers (thereby having feelings of relative native status), while various Asian language speakers feel the obligation to include non-speakers

Sure, Van Nuys. That would also be much less convenient than SM ;)

My complaints about Quora: * You have to use a "real" name. * Their members are predominantly white upper middle class tech/finance/marketing professionals - occasionally some Asians, but mainly from California or NY. * There's no

I'm a long-time user of the TI-89 (through hs, college, and now for business accounting) - has anyone solved the input problem? The keypad is only good for arithmetic and symbology, typing text is pretty awful.

This looks like a lite-corporate charter plan. Although this wouldn't make sense on my personal finance schedule, for my business this would be an amazing value. But - what airport in LA does this service fly to? Please say Santa Monica.

by carguy1983 15y ago
If you grew up in the bay then you should know that Asians and have plenty of opportunities amongst friends and around town to use languages other than English. Then again, if you're white... you may not have been around during those times.

Question for founder: do you get a better user response from highlighting your own progress pics, or Michael's? I would imagine most people look more like Michael than you (I wouldn't even call you skinnyfat, just skinny) - do you get a bet

It's not a strawman, it's the exact argument that freehunter posed (that americans never see 'foreigners'). I'm refuting it by saying no, that's not true, and the global idea of what an american vs. what a foreigner is cloudy at best.

I've also been audited. If you didn't cheat in the first place, you're not going to be in trouble or have to pay a lot of money.

If you own a business the lease is tax deductible, which knocks about 33% of the cost out of the picture.

My gist was you don't have to be able to know, just walk down the street, then walk down the same street 6 months later, and many of the shops will have changed.
