I second this. I'd love to know how ISP companies back then were operated.

I'll preface this entire post by saying I have no idea what I'm talking about. But it makes sense to me. I read an article a few years back about an elderly man (90+ years old) that attributed his longevity to donating blood regul

Yeah, his expiration date (if correct) is on there too.

I'm just now seeing this. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't trying to put words in my mouth with the nuclear reactor comment. I've made no such assertions in the past and don't really have an o

Don't be so quick to dismiss. It sounds odd and offensive to western sensibilities but there are reasons why it could be genuine. As mentioned earlier in the thread, there are so many micronutrients in the blood stream that some defici

I originally commented and was perhaps too harsh, so I deleted it shortly after submission. This really shouldn't be considered a prank. He might have deserved it, I have no idea. I wasn't there. But that's playing with someo

PowerShell is a really cool, powerful tool. Though, it's really more of what you'd consider a modern REPL to be than a conventional shell. It takes an OO approach to scripting as well. For some reason, I seems like it's a har

I built this to scratch an itch I've been having when working on a service that uses SendGrid Webhooks extensively. To better simulate a production environment, I made something that generates SendGrid-esque requests to the application

There seems to be enough interest in this to actually start talking seriously about it. I created a Slack account for it. https://farmcombinator.slack.com/ You'll need an invite, so if you're interested in this so

I'm in. Not at all joking / exaggerating. My wife and I would love something like this. We are currently looking to switch cities with no specific desire for one place so the iron is hot. I'd not limit it to engineers though

It doesn't matter if Npm is ever profitable. If an investor puts money into Npm, they are indirectly adding value to every company that uses Npm. Making sure that a comprehensive dependency manager exists for JavaScript helps every com

Of course not. But there are varying degrees of evidence supporting the idea that consuming excess carbohydrates (and more specifically, "simple" carbohydrates) contributes to a wide array of health issues. We know consuming exc

I agree with everything you've said except for the conclusion. I think Thiel's point is that it doesn't have to only apply to statistical outliers. It only applies to them right now , as the culture surrounding higher educat

Ah, my understanding was flawed then. Sorry to spread misinformation!

I don't think this is true -- the index rises in proportion to the stock's price. The stock price of company A would have to rise $26.66~ to incur the same index increase as company B. It does ignore market cap though. So if com

Many people are telling you that discipline is the solution. They're not necessarily wrong, but the most disciplined person in the world cannot squeeze blood from a stone. Sometimes you're mentally fatigued, discouraged, and the t

Take the following with a grain of salt, as I've only seen this in action once. The language barrier is pervasive even if the consultants speak English fluently. At my last company, we hired consultants from Belarus and besides a small

I understood it as saying the sensors are reading terabytes of information every second. The data would get selectively loaded into the device based upon the task at hand. I don't see that as far-fetched -- I can hook 100 digital camer

Your example page is kinda busted when scrolling horizontally. (on Chrome 37) http://imgur.com/HmzC1v0 Looks good otherwise though.

I agree with your sentiment. However, it wasn't her political views. It was her involvement with a fraudulent war.

How sure are we that there's no petroleum on Mars? If Mars contained any sort of life at one point or another the likelihood of fossil fuels is there, correct?

Amazon is a big help for my wife and I. We get our staples at the groceries around here, but we get our more "out there" ingredients from the web. For the fresh ingredients you may be out of luck, but you might be able to grow you

My wife and I are a year or two away from a cottage endeavor. I'm not sure why I'm wired the way that I am, but hermitage has a romantic appeal. Distractions and potential interruptions make me anxious. My disconnect with nature a

I agree with you. But with many people, I would classify the safety premium with the other things that those people "need". When I first arrived in Austin a few years ago, so many yuppies told me to NOT go east of I35. They were p

San Francisco, Manhattan, D.C. -- they're all outliers. My great-aunt runs a day-care facility in Kentucky. They charge $200/month/child. (This is definitely an outlier on the other end of the spectrum) It's very difficu

That's a fair point and I understand why you'd argue that. However, you'll notice that most people consider rich to be "having more than what I have" or "having more than other people". Many millionaires d

I caught that too, words cannot express my distaste for that kind of mentality. It's unfortunate that normalcy to the author is not keeping track of finances and buying things you cannot afford.

The availability of usable land is fixed. There's a limited amount of single-family homes you can build in a given area.
