Random aside: In the end they mention an exhibit at the Computer History Museum. I have to say, this is a great museum, and if you ever have the chance to go, go! They have a lot of great history, including the military/cold war type

Sure, the survey is questionable, and the results are even more so. But I feel like someone could equally do the same thing about baby boomers and medical costs. A lot of people are just desperate, and would basically give anything to solv

With all this talk about the 5th amendment and pictures fooling devices, I'm reminded of this classic scene from the 5th element: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nah_3vO0uhM "That's a very nice hat."

I've had so many ergo problems. Here's some things I'd suggest: 1. Try different mice, as people suggested 2. Watch the height of your desk. Is your desk too high? Is your wrist kinked? I love my sit stand desk for this,

I really wish I could look at the books for this place. I get the no-tipping thing, and how the prices have to change based on that. The higher wages will go down to the servers (and probably other non-tip based staff too), and that's

Frankly, I think the most important thing is to have a good resume. Apply for jobs where you don't have all the skills, chances are they'd be happy if you knew half of the things they listed, but would be willing to learn the oth

I also imagine that some of the people with $0 saved toward retirement also have it even worse than that, and may have a negative net worth, especially after the housing crisis. Things like credit card debt and payday loans will bleed you

I totally agree, but I sadly think we're already there. Part of the magic behind using remote controlled drones is that we can attack people far away without putting American lives at risk. If we actually had to go there and risk cas

I feel like I have to mention the story of the gatling gun. "Gatling wrote that he created it to reduce the size of armies and so reduce the number of deaths by combat and disease, and to show how futile war is." https:/&#x2

You should also look at the pioneer plaque ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque ) which I think is pretty amazing. The concept of how do you begin communication with someone that you don't know is a trick

Google seems to track which candidates, even if you're white and male, have done well enough in the interview process where they think it's a false negative, and give you another interview after 12 months. It's not just minor
