HopelessIdealistsDB :3 I almost joined a startup with four hopeless idealists. And then I realized that they weren't really interested in making money (so that we can all retire early and send our kids to nice schools), they were cha

I'm a libertarian, I had no dog in this race, but I LOVE how salty liberals have gotten. Welcome to my last twenty years of frustration with the political process :) https://twitter.com/KyleKulinski/status/808

I also find games through Steam, but I do wish I found games through a different avenue. I've also had to promise myself that I'd strongly vet any early-access games I was buying. I've just been burned too many times.

My thoughts exactly :) It's not like "politics" has the same impact that the latest season of Game of Thrones has, or the latest Futball results. Law and government define how businesses can operate, and public sentiment for

I also don't think it's a problem (although now I'm wondering if I missed something DAPL related yesterday), but I welcome the experiment.

We're not... comparing? We're trying to put every event in history into a context, to understand and track humanity's slow trajectory. This isn't about India vs. West (and you're getting downvoted because you'

If the wooden structures eventually became covered in earth, or if they had foundations going into the ground, then archaeologists can identify them. Often wood posts that have been driven into the earth will crumble and rot, _but it still

We are totally gonna survive climate change! Humans are adaptable as fuck. We might lose 90% of life and our global economy might temporarily go away, but we'll survive.

I was listening to Joe Rogan and Scott Adam's podcast interview from a few days ago-- Scott thinks that people act irrationally and emotionally about 90% of the time, and are only objective maybe 10% of the time, and under narrow circu

The obvious answer is to upgrade to Yelp Premium so that you can choose which reviews appear first on your store page, and so you can respond to reviews. :-3

I suspect that some of the life in the ocean _could_ adapt, if they were not also being over-fished (or having their prey over-fished). You need a large population for variations to crop up, and then some period of time for the beneficial v

Yeah. I think sctb is overreacting. thro32 just has a cynical view on what the public values, and has a long view of history. The namespace collision between Go and Golang infuriated me before I realized that--- Go has lasted thousands of y

I really enjoy Go (I'm an 8k) but I have to disagree with this. Curing diseases-- AIDS, smallpox, guinea worm, chicken pox-- are accomplishments have impact people lives and directly help humanity get more value out our citizens. Fun

So, you just need to acknowledge the risk you're taking on. You can "live", but if you lose your job and are unable to get one for 6-12 months, then not having a savings will be a disaster . What if you're disabled? Yo
